hi, im a 27 year old woman, i never had acne during my teenage years. from my 20's i started having just a few pimples here and there, nothing too much, and it didn't bothered me. when i was 25 i moved to a city with a much warmer climate than the city i was from. since then, i noticed my acne getting worse. during this 2 years it kept getting worse and i think im at my worst now. just for context i don't take any meds, i'm not vegan, i never used any control drugs. the only thing i ever used was contraceptive pills for 6 months right when i moved to this city. back to my story... last year, around november i started using BP 5% everyday. i started using for some hours, and then all night. i tried using during the day too, with a lot of sunscreen, but it made my skin really sensitive so i kept using only at night, with moisturizer on top. during the day i use moisturizer and sunscreen. the thing is: althoug the general texture of my skin is better, i think my acne is worse. and somedays, when i skip the BP i have a feeling my skin gets better. i don't know what to do. i know this treatment needs time to do its magic, but honestly i feel like giving up sometimes. maybe this is not the treatment for me, i don't know. i think my acne is bacterial, but sometimes when im washing my face it gets a little (just a little) itchy... but i don't think it looks like fungal acne either. i don't now what to do anymore. could you help me? i'm uploading images from de day i started using BP and from today.

I would follow The Regimen precisely with no other products and following every detail like staying ultra gentle and stuff.

Give it a couple of months and see if you can get completely clear. Then, once you're clear, you can change 1 variable at a time.

And in the meantime, it's always good to get your hormone levels checked out. I'm not sure when you stopped the pill, but that can affect acne.
