Update on Epiduo (9th day) | 16th week of adapelene As of today, all my jawline bumps are gone. Very quick, minimal purging. BP didn't make me as dry as I thought it was going to: on the first night ...

Day 101 | 15th week | ~4 months   UPDATE   Interesting stuff guys. Been to the derm just now and enquired about a 0.3% strength adapelene; turns out there's no such thing, at least in the U...

Day 96 | 14th week Ok, so I've done the full initial 3 months and am still using every night. There are still some little bumps on my jawline, near the chin area but my forehead and the whole left si...

How long do the marks stay for from previous acne? looking at my skin, it would be looking relatively clear if the skin didn't have a heap of marks... I know its my fault for squeezing them out but ...

thanks guys. I wont lie, I have squeezed my skin.. and yes I am very very ashamed of that.. I tried squeezing what I *THOUGHT* was a black head on my forehead and turns out it wasn't (it was a hole fr...

what is the crack with differin seriously. im approaching week 6 and i'm still breaking out lol.... i'm laughing because i am actually really depressed.. i thought by now i wouldnt break out or at l...

well, this last week has been less good. Had a break out of random large deep painful spots. but to be fair they were mainly ones which have been small skin coloured bumps for some time anyway, felt ...

Day 80 | 12th week This week was a less than stellar week. These stubborn bumps on my jawline seem to finally be purging - it's actually taking ages though! Had another TOTM spot, although it wasn't ...

Heyyyy!!!! Love love love to hear this!!! That your skin is the least of your problems, this is excellent news although im sorry if everything else is rubbish x   is there a chance that it wo...

Day 72 | 11th week Gonna lay off the Differin tonight: can feel some areas of my face getting really dry. Using a heavier moisturiser (and probably will do tomorrow too). Still kind of in the plateau...

Day 68 | 10th week Cheeks and forehead 99% clear, no bumps. The majority of them now lie on and underneath the jawline, which is weird because I never had problems there. However, even they are start...

Day 62 | 9th week Yesterday night, I did the OCM again: I made a new batch because my other one was months old. I basically got an old foundation bottle (ya know, with frosted glass and a pump becaus...

Day 61 | 9th week Sorry I haven't updated for ages, been too busy to actually reply (been reading the posts though), what with revision and everything. Well, still been applying every night and it fi...

@slinky vintage Are you getting wounds or scratches because of dfferin? I got new yestersday near my mouth, it stings even if i wash my face.. Is this normal? Are they wounds as a result of scratchi...

@SlinkyVintage Sorry i've been MIA for a month. Been very busy. how is your skin doing? i stopped using epiduo on my last post here then around valentine's day i started it again. first week i used it...

SV - glad you are persisting - only concern is that you are still breaking out- I have a feeling it could be the cream you are using, have you thought about switching or do you feel waiting till 12 we...

Skin colored bumps after exfoilating with baking soda got on my cleavage. It really looks awful On 7th week (50th day) of differin 0.1% gel. Aint doing anything yet hope to see some good results soon...

SV, sounds like youre doing really well...leave it alone!!!!! that's what caused all my issues earlier in the week I think. Things are calming down a little I think... trying not to look unless ive g...

Day 53 | 8th week I don't think I've ever woken up with my face so even before. I guess it's because I've woken up the last two days really early so I've not had a chance to see my bare skin in the n...

Today will bet week 2 ! Time flies huh. SV good idea I'd stick with it too tbh. How long did it take until your white heads stopped coming up ? I seem to be getting then like crazy on my forehead it's...

maybe switch to gel version SV? or move to 0.3%? Well I've read that some other people have this kind of stage during Differin, so I'm going to keep using it for the whole 3 months, maybe a bit long...

Day 50 | 8th week Have been in a kind of plateau period recently: there are still bumps and they don't seem to be budging at the moment. Will see how long this lasts, although I'm getting into the 8-...

yeah SV, the problem is... its a lot of slight damage, so its not Bleedingly obvious scarring, but from range it does look blotchy and patchy, and then when you focus up close on a blotch, its because...

why would she do that thechase? end of the day, its science and it must work. From reading and looking into various peoples blogs, it looks like it does a great job, and often users go onto retin A an...

Alright, started differin tonight I diluted it with lotion in hope of minimal peeling I almost got cold feet when I told my mom im going to start it and she read me every horror story about differin b...
