Giant nose pimple seems to be healing well. I think the olive oil helps. I put on AHA gel + olive oil this morning to hopefully stop some hyperpigmentation. Other than that, my face is pretty good. I ...

FINALLY victory! Just popped the zit, a TON of hardened sebum came out at the end, plus a lot of blood. Yep - definitely the worst non-cystic zit I've ever had. I want it to heal really fast, so I'm t...

The monster zit is absolutely awful. I tried popping it a couple more times - nothing. Some liquidy pus always comes out, but the sebum plug refuses to emerge. The zit is massive and reddish-purple. I...

Couldn't take it anymore - the zit honestly looks like a third head. I iced it to bring down the swelling and numb it before popping it. I then pricked the top where I could see the pus with a needle....

The comedone on the side of my nose turned into this massive, painful pimple. Ugh. It kind of came to a head today (I can see the pus underneath the skin), so I thought I would pop it and expel the se...

The aztec mask is actually magic - a huge comedone on the side of my nose that has been there for a year or more became inflamed yesterday, I think due to the mask. The small pimples on my forehead fr...

I would use the moisturizer under the BP for a couple of days and see if that helps. The BP won't be as effective b/c the moisturizer creates a sort of "shield" between your skin and the medication, b...

Been loving my PC mask and toner, my skin is no longer awful and dry. So far it hasn't broken me out, so that's good. I think Cera Ve Hydrating cleanser breaks me out a bit, to be honest. I've been ge...

So my PC stuff arrived - the toner and the mask! This is my third night using both of them, and I absolutely love them so far. My skin is hydrated, smooth, and glowing again. I noticed a difference af...

Hi! I have the same problem of you - closed comedones and clogged pores. Tazorac has really helped so far (not to jinx it). I still have comedones, but they have definitely decreased. Because Ziana al...

Hi guys! Sorry I haven't updated (if anyone is even reading this) Well, it's the end of May now, and I have seen a huge improvement over the past couple of months. The amount of comedones has drasti...

Week 5, Day 1 I've been breaking out pretty badly in the past couple of days. One clogged pore between my eyes inflamed, one near my eyebrow, and 2 on my chin. It's good that they're coming out, but ...

Week 4, Day 4 Clogged pore is becoming inflamed on my forehead. I'm worried because I see a bunch more clogged pores on my forehead/in between my eyes, but they might just be what the Taz is bringing...

Week 4, Day 1 Can't believe Im already on week 4! Nothing new with my skin. Still a bunch of clogged pores that need to come out, but none of them are inflaming.

Week 3, Day 6 Again, nothing new. Hyperpigmentation continues to slowly fade. I'm lucky - I'm super pale so my zits look really red and obvious, but hyperpigmentation doesn't stick around for a reall...

Week 3, Day 5 Nothing new here. The hyperpigmentation on my chin is fading nicely. Otherwise, my face is the same.

Week 3, Day 2 Still have scabs and hyperpigmentation all over my chin…I was hoping this would clear up before tomorrow, as I'm going back to school, but oh well. Also, when I woke up this morning, an...

Week 3, Day 1 I have a lot of hyperpigmentation on my chin right now due to the extractions, and a scabbish thing between my eyes from the comedone that surfaced. My forehead is slowly going back to ...

I would say that the juice is "purging" your skin, but because you've never had cysts before, I think the juice is causing your breakout. I would stop drinking it and see if it gets better - then mayb...

Week 2, Day 7 I can't believe I'm almost 3 weeks in!! I'm wondering if the dreaded 3rd week IB will happen… Another comedone on my chin was inflamed this morning when I woke up (not one that had bee...

Week 2, Day 6 Ugh my chin looked awful today…a bunch of the half extracted comedones became inflamed, so I have about 12 active spots on my chin right now (tiny, but still annoying). I myself extract...

Thanks so much for your response!! I'm starting it in about a week and I'll see what happens…fingers crossed

Valerie 43, thank you so much!! Good luck to you too

Week 2, Day 5 Went to the derm today…he said my face was looking a bit better. The nurse gave me a chemical peel and did extractions. My face is kind of inflamed and irritated from the peel and extra...

Hi guys! My gyno prescribed me Lo loestrin birth control. (I have never been on BC before.) She said that it would help with my acne…however, all of the reviews I've been reading ...
