For me, a BCP is only one part of my regime. I also am on doxycycline and Retin-A. If I change any part of this trio, my skin breaks out again. After having terrible skin for nearly 30 years, this ...

There is an initial purge with Retin-A where you will break out pretty badly for a while. Mine lasted a good 8 weeks or so. It was horrible and this is when many people stop using it. Don't stop! ...

I use it once a week a day or two after I use Retin-A (I only use it twice a week in the winter because it really dries out my skin). I am very gentle with it though. It helps slough off the skin ce...

I broke out from weeks 2-10 or so. The worst was the first 4-5 weeks. I am now in week 15 and my skin had been completely breakout free for the last 3-4 weeks or so. This stuff is amazing! It is e...

I use Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance in the winter. I also started adding a few drops on jojoba oil to the moisturizer. I wish I used both of these products when I took Accutane years ago. ...

The same thing happened to me which caused me to discontinue the BP. It was entirely too harsh. Even after using it only twice, my skin felt and looked like I had gotten a bad sunburn. It took my s...

Hi. I've taken both OTC and the Lo version. I got pregnant within a month or two of taking the Lo version. My advice is to be careful if you are sexually active because the ultrasound technician to...
