Nothing really to report. I've had a couple of nearly invisible comedones that I've dealt with, but it's been smooth (and clear) sailing for a bit now.   Cam >B)

I haven't really taken the time to thank everyone who posts here. The information you guys/gals give is so valuable. I don't know what I'd be doing now if it weren't for all of you. Thanks!   My ...

I've stopped using the white sugar scrub, mostly because I'm too lazy to do it. And I don't think that I'm being gentle enough with it. I'll just do the chemical exfoliation with BHAs (Spectro AcneCar...

It's strange. I've got two or three slightly pinkish spots on my forehead. They're not inflamed. They're not clogged pores. They're just slightly pinkish. They look like red marks from old spots, but ...

Those two spots on my cheek on neck were definitely ingrown hairs. Darn, those things are stubborn. I'm pretty careful about shaving, but with my natural tendency toward inflammatory acne, it doesn't ...

I've picked up (and been using) the hydrogen peroxide on the spot. It definitely killed whatever was brewing underneath, but it's also made the skin kind of rough and a little scabby. It's the kind of...

Thanks for the advice, veganocity.   That spot on my cheek was really getting on my nerves. I don't think that it was quite ready, but I dealt with it this morning. Then I doused it with rubbing ...

That small spot has gotten larger. It's not huge by any means, but it's enough to remind me that my skin isn't yet all raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.   Cam >B)

Sometime at work yesterday, I developed a bit of a spot on my left cheek. I recognize it as the kind that I get when a beard hair gets a bit impacted. These usually resolve themselves without incident...

I had a small, closed comedone on my left temple. It had been there since just before Christmas and was nearly invisible. Last night, it looked a little closer to the surface so I dealt with it. I tou...

Oh for heaven's sake.   Cam >B)   hi Cam,   I think you're a hottie too!   xo, v

Flatterer. That's me.   Cam >B)   Yaaaay for great skin!!!   By the way, who is that sexy man on your avatar?€

I have been using about half the amount of BP that I used to on the DKR, and I'm using it only once a day, and I'm still getting great results with my regimen. As a result of using less BP, my skin is...

The spots have cleared. However, I managed to let myself run out of shaving cream so I was working a lather up with my cleanser to shave. For the most part, this seemed to work fine, except I got a st...

My nose spot is completely history, but my jaw spot has been replaced by another spot (dealt with this morning). I also have a miniscule spot just left of my chin. It's not visible, even on close insp...

That inflamed blackhead-turned-spot thing on my nose was being annoying again so I cleaned it out with some hydrogen peroxide. I don't make a habit of using that, but it really stopped that spot dead ...

Thanks, veganocity! I had a great birthday. I figured out that my boyfriend had planned a surprise party. And he forgot that he gave me keys to his place so when I got to the door and turned the lock,...

I got a small, mildly inflammatory spot on the crook of my right jaw bone. It should be gone by tomorrow. And I had one micro-spot on the right side of my chin, but that's inactive now. Other than tha...

As of a few days ago, I've added a sugar scrub to my night-time routine. Basically, I gently rub white sugar on my face for some manual exfoliation. My face feels so smooth and looks very radiant. &nb...

I've had really great success with Dan's 2.5% BP. And it sounds like you're doing very well with your regimen! I've got my fingers crossed for you.   Cam >B)   OK, so I've been using t...

OK, so I've been using the BHA for a week now, and my skin hasn't needed to adapt to it. And it looks like I can get away with BP only once a day. I've had no new spots in a while now. And even with b...

In my quest to add a reasonably priced, locally available BHA product to my night routine, I thought that I might try a toner, but I found that most of the products on the shelf have irritants, like w...

I've taken the jojoba out of my regimen because I don't need as much moisturizing since I'm on BP only once a day. I'm still using quite a bit of BP because I'm afraid to start breaking out again. But...

Adding a drop of water to the Diacneal to help it spread worked like a dream. Thanks, LionQueen.   And so far, I haven't had any unusual spots from using BP only once a day. I'm crossing my finge...

That's genius! I'll try that.   Thanks!   Cam >B)   Does it work if you add a drop of water instead of a drop of oil?
