Week 8, Day 4. It's been a while. I broke out super badly a couple of weeks ago - 3 comedones that turned into cystic pimples on my chin. I rarely get cystic acne, and think it happened because I ate ...

Week 5, Day 1: Another 3 or so comedones/blackheads on my chin have pushed themselves out, so that's good, as well as a couple clogged pores between my eyes. The Tazorac/Finacea routine is bringing up...

Week 3 Day 6: One more comedone on my chin became inflamed! Everything is slowly being pushed out.

Week 3 Day 5: A comedone in between my eyes inflamed as well as another 2 on my chin. Still so many more to go! Everywhere else is pretty clear except for my chin.

Week 3 Day 2: A couple more closed comedones on my chin have inflamed and I pushed them out. Right now, I have a lot of hyper pigmentation on my chin as well as many more comedones that need to surfac...

Week 2 Day 4: 2 comedones around my nose have inflamed. My skin is still super dry and flaky.

Week 2 Day 1: Another 2 comedones on my chin inflamed today. I really think the topicals are bringing everything up to the surface. I've began gently exfoliating with a washcloth to get rid of some dr...

Day 7: finished with week 1! A closed comedones on my chin erupted today and I popped it gently. I'm having weird dryness issues - my skin where I'm apply the topicals is not super dry, but the skin a...

Hi! I've been using Paula's choice BHA 2% and AHA 8% gels for a while. I have closed comedones and blackheads. They definitely help clear some pores, but never got me completely clear. I like them mos...

Does anyone have recommendations for a rich, heavier moisturizer that I could use for scaly skin/dry patches? I'm using Tazorac for my closed comedones and my skin is very dry. Im currently using Niv...

Day 6: Im almost done with my first week of my new regimen! A cyst between my eyes that inflamed a few weeks ago but hasn't completely gone away - there was still a lump under my skin but no redness o...

Days 4 and 5: My skin has been pretty dry and flaky, even though I've started using Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. I guess it's just getting used to the topicals. No new breako...

Day 3: My skin was so dry this morning that I decided to wash it with Cera Ve foaming cleanser instead of the more harsh one I've started using and skip my morning routine. So I just put on lotion an...

Day 2: My skin is super dry around my nose, and the moisturizer the derm gave me is not doing enough. I used Aquaphor, but I'm not sure it doesn't clog pores, but I didn't know what else to do. I thin...

Day 1 of New Regimen: Used Taz 0.1% for the first time last night and Fiancee this morning. No bad reactions, and nothing new to report. My skin does not seem super dry yet. A pustule on my ch...

Hi getschwifty! I'm sorry I haven't replied, I haven't been on here in forever. Currently, my skin is not great. It's definitely not awful, but I still have a good amount of clogged pores, mostly o...

I still have a good amount of closed comedones on my chin. I have a couple of clogged pores between my eyes/on my forehead, but these don't really bother me because there's only a few, so I'll break o...

Today I saw my regular derm and told her that I was annoyed by the closed comedones and blackheads that continue to plague me, mostly on the chin area. She said that they were hormonal and that there ...

So, I saw my derm today (actually, her assistant, but whatever - I don't like her that much so it doesn't really matter) and told her about my comedone problem. She wasn't super helpful - she said tha...

So my skin has definitely become more clogged - I do not really think it's due to the Cetaphil or the toner, because I stopped using the toner 3 months ago and still have clogs. I have about 15 closed...

Ugh, my comedones have returned. I have about 15ish on my chin right now and one between my eyes. Super frustrating. I'm not sure what's causing it - I'm hoping it's just clogs my toner from before ca...

I definitely think going bak to taz directly on my skin had helped. About a week after starting, I broke out in 3 cystic pimples, which almost never happens. And 3 at once!! 2 of them have gone away (...

I think putting tazorac directly on my skin without toner is really helping! A small blackhead between my eyebrows surfaced, and I can see other tiny blackheads going away. I'm annoyed that it was alm...

Popped the cystic clogs on the side of my nose - they weren't actually cystic anymore, just two clogs that came out easily. so my skin is pretty much clear of old comedones, (the last one on the side ...

Back from my trip! 4 comedones inflamed during my trip - the one between my eyes and 3 on my chin. I now only have 1 comedone left of my chin and none between my eyes. The couple of comedones on the s...
