Hi everybody!

My breakout began at around 12 - I guess since I'm hitting my "10 year anniversary" of getting acne, I decided I had had enough and really needed to try my best to get rid of my acne. My acne got progressively worse over the years up until when I was about 20 but over these past couple of years it's calmed down a little. I still categorise my acne as moderate-severe. My main issue problem is my acne scarring which, I know, will take time to fade, but I have trouble with that because although I don't have a lot of acne, there is constantly at least one pimple that I want to get rid of.

I started DKR about 2 weeks ago. I had a rocky start because I was going away for a couple of days to a friend's and kind of missed a day or two of the regimen, but so far I've been following it as much as I can. I believe I've hit what is called the "purging" stage, because I have suddenly gotten a lot of pimples in my problem areas, more than what I've gotten in a very long time. As horrible as it is to visually look at, I have high hopes! I feel as though my skin is behaving as described in the "what to expect" section of the site, and I'm not getting breakouts in places that I don't get (which is really only my forehead, to be completely honest).
