Hi you guys. Its allison. Checking in. i promised myself once I had clear skin I would post on here abotu whatever medication it was that cleared me up. Differin is a miracle product. STICK WITH IT. I...

noregrets! We are here for you!!!! You should never go cold turkey on a retinoid :/ Have you at least been doing some exfoliating even when you got off of it? Anyway, I think I changed a product up...

every other night for the first week!

everyone is alwayssssss welcome here!!! This is what this diary is for. lol. Angelcream! Safinator said it all. DO NOT BE disappointed when you get breakouts during 3-5 weeks. Thats your IB phase or ...

Kariya: Obagi Nu Derm Clear is a lotion that you apply to your face in the morning and in the evening (AM & PM) and its wonderful. Im using it alongside retin a and its working wonderfully! It fad...

Noregrets, are you on any antibiotics? Inflammatory acne can be usually helped with a short course of antibiotics (as im sure u already know) or tylenol or other medications with anti-inflammatory pro...

hahaha you'll be one of us (who have made it past the 12 week mark) soon enough And you'll be there on the other side with beautiful skin

heyy everyoneee! Naina, I would definitely suggest the same thing that Noregrets did....give differin a full 3 months. I switched up to retin a 0.1 after 3 months of use and only use it 3x a week n...

Hanna, I would advise for you to maybe consult your doctor and see if you should continue on with the differin or perhaps move up to something stronger. Almost 70% of the time, one topical doesn't c...

Wiseboy, you can get it from CVS/publix/wal-mart...really anywhere...i take one supplement of zinc gluconate 50 mg per day! What is up with these acne flares..? I'm scared mine might come back! I fe...

hey youg uys sorry i haven't updated in a while...I was not in town!!!! My PIH is clearing up and my skin feels SO SMOOTH!!!!!! I love it. I think within 6 months I will be completely clear. Anyway, I...

Gina, get your derm to prescribe an antibiotic for the first few weeks to help with the intial breakout. But don't keep using them...just use them as a sort of crutch to get through the rough periods....

gina...nooo I'm not I purged like hell at weeks 3-4 into the treatment....but remember you HAVE to be patient. Differin works slower than Taz. It took me about 2.5 months to see noticable results.

hey ya'lllll :DDD sorry i hhaven't updated in a while. There hasn't been too much to update. I am pretty much acne-free...I have 2 closed comedones and the rest are red marks which are fading so fast....

rant time...i was looking through some of my old acne free pictures and i looked so much happier. ugh. now my face is covered by this PIH shit. I literally had clear beautiful skin before and then BAM...

you guyssss!!!!!!! I found a new pimple arising on my cheek!!!! AHHHHH! its getting bigger by the second...ok, not really, but ya'll know what I mean...I hope it doesn't turn too ugly by tomorrow
