Okay so I have been on the regimen for almost one month (in 3 days it will be 1 month) and I'm honestly thinking about quitting but I can't decide if I should. Since going on the regimen my skin has been super flaky and dry and I tried adding jajoba oil into the mouisturizer and that did significantly decrease the flakyness and dryness of my skin but I think it breaks me out. Also, since starting the regimen my skin has actually gotten worse and I have a cluster of painful, deep cystic pimples on my right cheek, which used to be 90% clear. I don't know what to do because it seems like the regimen isn't working and has only made my skin worse and the texture of my skin horrible. (I am using a full fingerslenght of BP at night and half a fingers length in the morning) Should quit the regimen? Do you guys have any product recommendations or tips on fighting cystic acne?
If it was 2-3 months i would say sure, go ahead. But it hasn't even been a month! Keep going! I have cystic acne and it cleared me 100%. Sounds like you need to hold off on the BP and ease into it slowly. Use once a day and add more and more every so often, until your applying twice a day a decent amount. Use a LOT of moisterizour day and night regardless if you put on BP or not! Hope this helps.

Are you sleeping on that side? Can you use the ZIIT method?
I quit the regimen but I am sleeping on that side but the acne isn't where I put the pillow to my face (I make sure to lay down and have the pillow only touching a small part of my skin) but what's the ZIIT method?
