It's likely a change in your hormone levels. My daughter uses sulfur. It got her clear for some time and then it stopped working. So our esthetician ramped up her sulfur medication and she got clea...

Are you sure it's a moisturizer you're using? The Acne-Free repair lotion is treatment not a moisturizer. I don't think you can buy a true moisturizer with BP.

Most of the store brand acne products are a bunch of junk anyways. I use a lot of the Lumiplexion line. She's a esthetician who has sold acne products for about 25 years. She carries both a 5% or...

Curious to know if you continued to use the black soap. My daughter has used it consistently for several years now. It's the only soap she will use. We buy the bar from Amazon, grate a small port...

Store face products are crap. They do nothing for acne. Acne is BIG business for manufacturers. Keep buying their crap and keeping having acne, which means you'll try more of their crap. You need ...

If you're not finding success with this regimen, you may do better without the one-size-fits-all treatment. Lumiplexion will customized your treatment and tweak it as necessary to get you where you n...

If you're going to try any oil, it should be sunflower oil, as it has the least chance of breaking you out. Lumiplexion sells a lightweight moisturizer that consists mostly of aloe vera. It's a gel ...

My daughter cannot use BP, and we tried this stuff originally. It actually made her break out worse. Her acne was moderate. She has used sulfur medication now for almost five years, and her skin i...

Consumer acne products are inferior, and this could have a lot to do with regulations, restrictions as well as ingredients included for better shelf life. The 2% SA that Paula's Choice sells is not s...

Do you have hair touching your forehead? Do you use hairspray?

I have to rant because I see so many of these posts about cutting corners and trying to use store products versus products made for acne. The most important thing is not putting a bunch of crap on...

Is the birth control helping with the cramps? My daughter was placed on the same BC pill by the OB/GYN. She was taken off it by her primary care because so many people had been having issues with it...

My daughter uses sulfur instead of BP due to being allergic to BP. It's definitely not as irritating to the skin. It's a Lumiplexion product. A bottle lasts about 4 months. It smells like sulfur, ...

Can't help you unless you want to post in actual words and say what you actually use not just some kind of this or that sometimes and maybe this.

Your pores are clogged. What are you using?

You can email Pamela (she's the owner of Lumiplexion). She will ask you what you've been using and she will give you a customized routine. She is kind of like your own personal esthetician because s...

I see quite a bit of issues with your routine, and, frankly, you need to keep it much more simple. I've put notes on sections of your routine Current routine- 3 times a week exfoliate with baking sod...

Don't use SA if it breaks you out, Try glycolic acid instead.

Black soap and salicylic acid are both really good for blackheads. I recommend the black soap from Ghana (on Amazon). The only SA treatment I recommend is Lumiplexion. Store brand SA is not strong e...

Anything you use on your face needs to serve a purpose and not just be drying. I use a salicylic medicine that works like a toner first thing after my shower. The salicylic exfoliates the skin from ...

I just feel like I need to chime in that CeraVe is similar to Cetaphil in that it causes whiteheads. Like any product, some people can use it without a problem, but I personally tried both and had wh...

Have you always used Cetaphil and Clean and Clear products? Cetaphil breaks many people out in whiteheads. If you're experiencing an increase in whiteheads, stop using it. Clean and Clear products ...

There are many threads on the boards about eating clean and juicing to improve acne. That is definitely taking a step in the right direction, but it's only taking a couple steps. Everybody's uniqu...

Using 1 tsp per day, a can will last some time. Does the product stay good that long?

You can purchase black soap at Walgreens. I prefer the natural kind from Amazon, but the Shea Moisture brand is decent as well.
