Day 10: Oops last night I got home and went to bed before posting! I used both the Retin-A and hydroquinone serum last night. I have some very prominent red marks from where the picked at acne is. I'm...

Update: Last night I fell asleep before putting on my Retin-A and hydroquinone, but I washed my face around 5 and put my face cream on then. It was probably good to give my face a little bit of a brea...

Day 8: Totally forgot to do this yesterday! Along with the update, I also squeezed some small whiteheads randomly around my face which left some red marks the next morning but so far they seem to be g...

Update: I am SO upset with myself/life in general. Totally messed up a test today (and I have a 90.0% in the class, but it's okay I have one last project and it'll bring my grade up!), got home and pi...

Day 7: Ugh there was a scab on that pimple by my eye and it was still painful/I could tell there was a ton of puss in there so I peeled the scab off and it oozed out. The hyperpigmentation is looking ...

Day 6: The right side of my face, my forehead, and chin are looking sooo much better!! I have an under the skin pimple near my eye, and for some unknown reason I tried to squeeze at it and of course i...

Day 4: (doing this a day late oops) I did well all day, but then after I washed my face I decided to pluck 2 little baby hairs that were on 2 different pimples to see if it made them shrink a little o...

Day 3: By the end of today, it was sooo tempting to pick but I didn't. The hydroquinone serum came in, so I washed my face, waited 10 minutes, applied Retin-A, waited again, be then put on the hydroqu...

I get cheek acne too and it's the worst spot for acne, I know. It sounds like you might need something stronger than benzyl peroxide to treat this. The only thing that has been helping my skin is Reti...

Update: My skin is looking a million times better already, I only have about 6 small pimples on my face right now (all at a head which is sooo tempting to pick!), but 4 of them are so tiny you have to...

Day 2: Today was a very tempting day for picking because I have 3 pimples that are completely at a head. I got the It cosmetics cream, and so far it's really moisturizing but not at all greasy. Howeve...

Lots of posting today (oops), but I decided to add some new day 1 photos since this is a fresh start. I hate to say this but I feel like my skin looks a little better in these photos than in person? H...

I also just ordered a 2% hydroquinone lotion to use to lighten all the scars. I did a lot of research on Retin-A in conjunction with hydroquinone, and some of the reviews of the product I ordered said...

Day 1: No pimple popping  However, I did pick all the scabs on my face off, but none of them were deep scabs so they'll be fine tomorrow. If I don't pick at all, there won't be anymore sca...

Update: Today was a very bad day... I got home from school and picked. A LOT. I don't know what to do with myself. I think the only time I can look in the mirror is in the morning while doing my make ...

This was really helpful!! Know you're not alone and I'm struggling with this right now as well.

Day 5: Posting this the morning after, but I'm really disappointed in myself. I picked. The under the skin pimple on my cheek was hurting so I decided to be stupid and pop it. Obviously it didn't pop ...

Day 4: When I woke up I noticed a few super tiny pimples on my chin so I dabbed some Retin A on them to dry them out instead of popping them. The scarring is pretty much the same, but it has only been...

Day 3: Today I didn't actually pop any pimples, but I did pick a few scabs/pick some dead skin off. My skin is looking better already, it's just hard because my hyperpigmentation scarring  ...

Day 2: Today I did really well! I technically didn't "pick" (didn't pop any pimples) but I did peel away some dead skin/scratch off falling off scabs. There was only one scab (on my forehead) that I s...

Day 1: I DID IT! I went one full day without picking, which is a huge accomplishment for. Today in class I noticed myself scanning my jawline and quickly stopped once I was conscious of it. The hardes...

Hi guys! A year and a half ago I was on accutane and actually tried to do this skin picking challenge, but failed  However, with prom, summer, and college right around the corner, I really...
