That exfoliation must have brought the gunk from that spot to the surface quicker. I seamlessly extracted the last bit of nastiness from it yesterday with no negative consequences this morning. The pi...

Clear again. The BHA has hyper-exfoliated that spot down to a little pink blur in a couple of days. It was swollen and angry just a couple of days ago. Last night, I didn't use the AHA+ at all, except...

Well, of course I messed with a spot that should have been left alone. Of course it turned into a big scabby mess. The goods news is, though, with the addition of BHA to my regimen, the scabbiness exf...

I've still been getting those small, stupid, non-inflammatory spots so I thought that I would try to add a bit of BHA to my regimen, which can help to deal with those clogged pores. I've decided on Sp...

It's been forever since I've been here. I've cleared up the dryness problem. It's been settled for a while now, which is nice.   I've been getting some small break-outs, maybe a spot a week or so...

Still dryish, but not horrific. It gets a little better every day, but that could also be due to the weather warming up.   I want a higher-SPF moisturizer. Dan, please hurry with your SPF moistu...

Thanks for the advice, Pupcake. I think that I'll be fine with the Olay for a while now that my dryness is under control. At least until Dan's SPF moisturizer comes out.   Cam >B)

The Cetaphil DailyAdvance Ultra Hydrating Lotion took care of the dryness around my eyes. But even though it said it's non-comedogenic, I don't think that it is. I got a spot just under my eye, and I ...

Well, this has been a bit of an ordeal. The flakiness around my eyes was so persistent that my regular moisturizer just wasn't doing the trick. I resorted to trying more occlusive and emollient things...

OK, so I'm clear again for a few days from any weird shaving-related spots.   It's still sporadically cool here in Vancouver, and I just got back from a stint in frosty Ontario, so my skin's a li...

This is very frustrating. I'm not shaving any more to make sure that I don't get shaving-related spots. And I'm still getting spots in my beard area. I had one start a couple of days ago, and I have a...

I think that I'm going to have to make some changes to my shaving routine. I've been very gentle with my shaving, which has proven to be the best for my skin. However, I don't think that I have been l...

Those were weird holidays for my skin. I must have been a shaving maniac because I had a couple of crazy ingrown hairs. They didn't get inflamed, and I left them pretty much alone, but they were a lit...

I got another small shaving-related mini-spot. This time, I left the darned thing alone, and it was gone in a couple of days. Lesson learned. Clear otherwise. I have upped my BP to a full pump, though...

Wise words, Eryka. I should have waiting longer and saved myself the trouble. When are you going back to Ameryka?   Cam >B)

Friday was a little embarrassing. The spot was a scabby monstrosity, about 5 mm or so across. People were being nice about not staring, but I was glad this weekend when the scab sloughed off. It's a l...

Stupid, stupid, stupid. So that small spot had gotten larger over the last day or so. So this morning, I decided to try to deal with it. And now, over the course of the day, it's gotten even larger an...

A small spot on my left cheek. I'm just leaving it alone.   Cam >B)

Quick update: Clogged pore healed completely. No new spots in forever. The half a finger of BP has done the trick.   Cam >B)

I've had a minor clogged pore on my forehead for over a year now. It hasn't budged with the AHA so I decided to go after it. With a little effort, I managed to dislodge it without causing much trauma....

Eryka,   Thanks for stopping by. Well, before I started the Regimen, I decided to see what my skin would look like without any products. Let me tell you, it wasn't pretty. It looks like I've inhe...

OK, so I'd been getting those minuscule spots a little too frequently so I decided to go back to 1/2 a finger of BP, and it seems to keep everything all clear consistently. So that's what I'm settling...

These concerns arise frequently on the message boards. I guess that's why Dan put them in the frequently asked questions.   Here are the links to the answers:   Many users report that benz...

When I was washing my face last night, I noticed that the spot was a little bigger than before. It still wasn't an inflammatory spot, just a clogged pore, filled with gunk. I took care of it, swabbed ...

It's been a while since I've said this so here goes. "Thanks, Dan!"   Holy crap. Even a couple of years ago, I couldn't have imagined having long stretches of clear skin. Mostly, I would wake up,...
