Hiya all

Some background - had acne since I was 9, am now 19 and due to recent bad events and stress its got ridiculously bad - been on actuate and pretty much all antibiotics/topical creams/natural vitamin supplements, nothing worked. My skin can go from oily to dry and flaky in a day, ridiculously hard to cater for product wise. Spoke to loads of friends all with good skin - barely any of them wash their faces with product, none more than once a day! Decided to try this out, however for anyone who's attempted this with bad skin as a starting point, this is quite scary. IF anyone who has tried this could answer my questions I'd be really grateful!

I've noticed my forehead seems to have more fine lines than other peoples, even though I'm only 19!!! Is this because of perpetual dryness due to products? will this improve?

My face is also Very very pale in comparison to the rest of my body - are the products I'm using stripping my face? Could this improve?

If anyone has tried this successfully, did you ever use SPF in the summer and just wash that off with water?

Is the 28 day dryness and flakiness true? Can exfoliating it with a cloth speed the process up?

Thanks so much in advance, will post my updates here!

I'm on day 2 atm and my redness has gone down but my skin still looks very very textured and dull, very pale.
