george_doors05 0 Share Posted May 20, 2006 hey guys,Im experiencing the worse breakouts ive had for years at the moment, whats different about this breakout is that its lasted for about 3 weeks and my skin doesn't show much signs of getting better (Im on the CSR).I thought it would be good if as many people as possible could list things that break them out and I can see if any of the reasons might apply to myself??Might be a long shot but worth a try I think because a few months ago i was virtually clear and now im full of spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItalHawk87 1 Share Posted May 20, 2006 can u give us a detailed version of wt u do in ur regimen (products and how much , how gentle u are) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_doors05 0 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 yeah sure,Im using simple soap bar as a cleanser then Dans BP gel and finally Eucerin, im from the UK so cant get some of the products Dan describes over here. What annoys me most is that ive been on the regimen using different products for ages and my skin went very clear but I let it slip slightly.The breakout ive had for the past 3 weeks is really strange though because ive never had so many spots at once, usually get a few bigger spots but never loads all over my face.p.s. using just under half a finger of BP and about the same of Eucerinjust to add im thinking of going back on minocycline to help deal with the breakout but not sure if it'll make much difference because I was on them for about 2 years and I stopped taking them because I dont like taking drugs for long periods of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItalHawk87 1 Share Posted May 20, 2006 hmmm well i think the first problem is that ur using a regular bar of soap... its too harsh and i believe soaps take away too much from ur skin and dries u out a little... well the full amount of bp is index finger length and thats for the whole face so maybe ur not putting enough but i don't know how much u have and wt not and as for the moisturizer... is it with or without aha ?

mulzachan 0 Share Posted May 20, 2006 in the regimen, Dan states clearly that he thinks using regular soap is a very bad idea. its very irritating, and strips the skin, and thats not what you want to do at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janiet53 1 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I agree that the soap could be adding to your irritation and so making the regimen slightly less effective, also the brekout you having at the moment could sill be a result of you letting it slip a few weeks back. For cleansers avaiable in the UK please check out this thread http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php?showtopic=91901 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
