Just an update:

I've been using the regimen for a solid month now and have moved up to a thick full finger length today. I can't believe how clear my skin has gotten, regardless of a few whiteheads that go away quickly. I have been dealing with a great deal of flakes, but morning exfoliation with jojoba oil has greatly helped. The biggest thing that just increased today was redness. My face is looking pretty red, which happens the first half a week into an increased dose of bp for me. I hope it subsides in the next month. By then I hope to start using aha+ as an exfoliant for flakes and red marks, which are already fading. For those who have seen my previous photos on my chin breakout post, I hope you can see a difference but just beware that my face is pretty red right now. Here's to another good month to adapt to the regimen!
