Just wondering, are you asian?Literally every spot for me, whether I pick or not leaves a mark so my face is absolutely peppered   If so, be prepared to have hyperpigmentation for a very long ti...

I'm in a very similar position to you. Although I am older, just stick to a regime and exfoliate twice a week or so. Wear sunscreen   I have a feeling we are just going to have to wait this out....

Just leave the epiduo on your face for about half an hour or so and then moisturise.   That's what I do with differin

Question for long term users (approximately a year), have any of you found that it has the side effect of hair growth on the face? I think differin has had this effect on me

Keep us updated, even through personal message week by week if you want to talk about anything at all

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll be sure to try and pick a bottle up! Didn't know they had it in the UK I should have mentioned that some of those spots are the inflammatory type, so two of them ...

Just came across this, how's it progressing?

I am still using differin 0.1 % since starting in September, skin looks awful due to PIH but in regard to number of spots it has reduced it (I still currently have 4 active spots). However, I'm also s...

So six months on from the start of my treatment.... I've been on differin for 6 months and off antibiotics for one month. Honestly, differin hasn't made a huge difference, I'm still consistently bre...

Just to let you know what my experiences have been. I've been on differin + tetralysal since October-ish and it worked a treat but 2 weeks after I stopped the anti-biotics (now). I've started to break...

So update, 4 weeks after I have stopped antibiotics but continued with differin. Little whiteheads forming is becoming a lot more common and I've currently picked up quite a big 'un. Sooooo frustratin...

Sooo I promised the photos and here is my progress after 3 months. To be honest, it's very disheartening but well see for yourself...  

Currently: In the mornings, I use Simple moisturising face wash, La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo and No7 energising moisturiser with spf15. Then in the PM I use the same face wash with a thin layer of d...

Ahhh! Bad news, I have another whitehead showing up on my nose. With a feeling of spots brewing near my mouth and along my jawline . So so annoyed. Going to press on anyway with the treatment. Have a...

Just one in the morning

Feel free to check this out for updates. A couple of new spots have shown up '

Time for another update. I have been prescribed another month of tetracycline so I can hopefully postpone my fear about coming off the antibiotics for now. I've got one brand new spot is brewing right...

Edit: I forgot you weren't using differin. I always assumed differin was the cause of the dryness which I don't really get affected by anymore. Just moisturise after you wash your face

If I'm honest, there has always been some kind of small spot breakout but I consider that clear. At the minute, I have had a few active spots but I see myself as clear at the minute. If you want to t...

I'm on the last month (3 month course) of tetracycline (I also use differin 0.1%). I've got a feeling that i'll break out again after I stop the antibiotics

Is anyone else on antibiotics as a combination treatment?

I have been away for the past few days so I haven't been able to update. I've had a minor breakout on my chin and a larger spot has appeared on my temple but an huge overall improvement since starting...

So the first of my Sunday updates (most suitable time for me to write an update). My skin is improving overall from my previous post (spots have gone down significantly), I don't really pick my spots ...

I'm gonna make this a weekly progress report simply because I feel a better overall view of progress will be achieved. As for today, there has been little change in situation except for the previous m...

Soo.. I've been posting my progress so far in a blog but obviously, this is a much better place to post! To summarise so far... Had fairly clear skin until about 2 months ago when my face exploded. Lo...
