I'm about 2 weeks into the regimen. I don't have many zits at this point, I got like 2 the other day for some reason but so far it has reduced pimples a bit.
My problem is the way my skin looks and redness. I was on accutane which I blame for my facial redness. I used to have a white face and you can still see spots around my lips that are white but red every where else. This bothers me more than you can imagine. I read that the regimen can actually help with skin tone so I was excited for that but so far my skin is even a little more red than normal.
Is the redness something that should go away over time? Does it just keep getting better? Experiences anyone?
Which redness are you talking about? If it's the redness left by acne, ie the acne marks, then yes those will fade. However if your face is rushing red in areas then I'd stop. I went on and used differin after a course of accutane and now most of my face is pink/redish, worst mistake ever
The redness lasted about 4-5 weeks as well. I always carried around a little bottle of moisturizer the first few weeks when I felt the itchy feeling that came along with it.
Currently in my 7th week of the regimen and I don't have the red irritated face anymore, still a little bit itchy but I'm hoping that goes away in a few more weeks.
