If you are following the Regimen they recommend using chemical exfoliants (ie. AHA glycolic acid) rather than manual exfoliants. Manual exfoliants can be too harsh and irritate your skin even more wh...

It seems like it can be different for everyone. For my daughter it didn't really get worse in the first 3 months, but it didn't improve at all ie. really NO difference what so ever so she almost gave...

My daughter is on the Regimen and did not see improvement until 3-4 months so you may be on the way to improvement if you can handle it for another month or two. On the other hand have you changed an...

Hi She uses dan's cleanser but not his moisturizer. His moisturizer seems to get very mixed reviews with about half the people liking it and the other half not happy with it. The main complaint seems...

I agree that your skin looks really good! Anything that exfoliates or increases cell turnover would help. The AHA (glycolic acid) that they sell as part of the Regimen might work well. I don't think...

Is there anything else you have changed? are you using a different shampoo? different make up?

Hi I don't know anything about aczone so I can't comment on that. However my daughter has been using bp and tazorac for a couple of months and it has worked extremely well for her. She had been follo...

Hi My daughter was on the Regimen and had flakes/dry patches for the first month. Then she started combining some of the Regimen's AHA (glycolic acid) with her moisturizer and the flakes went away in...

You are actually fortunate that you have red and purple marks rather than actual scars which are indented. Your marks will fade over time on their own (usually 6 months or so). Make sure you wear suns...

If you have only been using bp for a week you won't really know if it is working or not as it is much too soon to tell. It usually take 2-3 months to see improvement. Also try and be gentle with you...

Yes I agree with mrsrobinson just go to the nearest Walmart or drug store and get a benzoyl peroxide gel ( ideally in 2.5% strength) and combine it with a mild cleanser and oil free moisturizer and yo...

Yes I would agree that most girls do not go for the type of guy you describe (faceandlms). No one I know is with a guy that fits that description! I think that women tend to be judged by their looks ...

Are you using enough moisturizer? Which cleanser are you using ? because your skin should fell good after you wash.

Yes you need to start slowly so you skin gets used to the bp ( see the Regimen instructions) Gradually work up to the full dose over a few weeks. So maybe cut back on how much bp you are using and t...

My daughter's dermatologist told her not to use her clarisonic if she had any blemishes at all because it will further irritate her skin and can just spread the bacteria around which you don't really ...

Like the previous posters said, it is worth giving the Regimen a try and you don't really have anything to lose. Nothing is 100% guaranteed but most people find a lot of improvement in their skin even...

Hi The epiduo does make your skin more sun sensitive residually - so you need to wear sunscreen whenever you are going to be outside or chances are you will burn (especially if you are fair skinned).

I really like the cleansers and moisturizers by CeraVe and they never break me out. Not sure if you can get them where you live (I live in Canada). Good luck.

Your skin looks so good - what was it like before? Not sure what products you are using right now but maybe you need to incorporate some of the AHA with your moisturizer. Do you think the red patches...

How long have you been using the benzoyl peroxide? It can take 3-4 months for the breakouts to stop.

My daughter uses Almay products and they cover up her marks really well and have never made her break out. But as a previous poster said what works for one person may not work for another (frustratin...

What are you putting on your skin before you put on your moisturizer ? (eg. cleanser or treatment) because maybe that is what is making your face red. Just a thought.

I really like the moisturizers made by CeraVe, there is one for the day with spf 15 and one for overnight and they have never made me break out. Not sure if you can get that brand in the UK however.

I agree with tracy521 you should give the AHA a try. Your skin actually looks really good!

I'm not sure how long you have been on the differin, but when my daughter used it a couple of years ago she broke out horribly for the first three months, and then it got better. But of course everyo...
