Thanks Valerie44! Happy to hear that you're doing well on Spiro too! Let's keep each other posted, do you have a log? MID WEEK 7 Mini breakout on my right cheek. Nothing horrible but still annoying ...

END OF WEEK 6/BEGINNING OF WEEK 7 My skin was a nightmare prior to Spiro and Retin A 0.025% and just after 6 weeks everything seems great. I'm not 100% clear but the worst thing on my face right now ...

Day 44 At least, I think it's Day 44, haha. Skin's looking good! Beyond thankful right now that I'm seeing results. Saw an endocrinologist couple days ago and she officially diagnosed me with PCOS. I...

Hey hedgehogcatcher, Welcome to the Spiro Club and good luck! Similarly to Accutane, this drug takes a bit to kick in so really hang in there. Please keep me updated on your progress or send me the l...

Day 34-38 6 week mark of Spiro and Retin-A and really happy. The pimple on my cheek wasn't that big and eventually shrunk. Everything else is looking great and the hyper pigmentation is really starti...

Day 33 All of the blackheads/clogged pores came out yesterday and the monster cyst thing shrunk! I applied some ice to it a couple of times throughout the day and even tried putting a peppermint tea ...

Day 32 Everything was going swimmingly until today; I think I jinxed myself. Cyst like creature popped up on my right cheek and a couple of more small bumps popped up on my forehead. I applied Cetaph...

Girl, you are preaching to the choir! My roommate has gorgeous skin and when I complain about mine she tells me its because I eat poorly while she eats pasta and pizza all the time. She'll get a small...

Day 31 The dryness is slowly creeping back, I think its from the cold air and wind. Blobbed Cetaphil Moisturizer on my face so hopefully that'll do the trick. Most of the small bumps/clogged pores fr...

Thanks girl! Yeah, I found one at Sephora with great coverage but it's a little out of my price range so I will def check out Garnier! =)   Try Garnier BB cream!! I have tried several and it is...

Day 27-Day 29 Skin's been doing well, trying to find a tinted moisturizer/BB Cream to cover my scars. Any recommendations please let me know. Noticing two small pimples coming to the surface on my fo...

Day 26 Took my spiro late again today and felt kind of nauseous. Probably because I've been taking it at wacky times so I need to get back on track.Skin looking good today, one bump is completely gon...

Day 25 (delayed post) Had my facial/mini microderm today and the aesthetician got rid of all the small pores and blackheads, however I think I see a bump emerging on my forehead which is getting me ...

Day 24 Took my pill very late today because I was running around. Some more improvement. Still some small clogged pores and dry skin. Facial/mini microdermabrasion tomorrow! Lets hope its all good fr...

Day 23 Pretty much the same as yesterday. Some very tiny bumps here and there but nothing huge and noticeable thank god. My skin is incredibly dry though so I blobbed Cetaphil Moisturizer all over my...

Day 22 More improvements but don't want to jinx it. Most of the very small bumps and clogged pores came out or submerged this morning. The monster zit is super dry and flaky and small. I don't want t...

Day 21 So the big monster zit is finally shrinking, thank you Kenalog shot! It should be microscopic tomorrow and flat by Saturday. There are some very tiny pimples forming on my forehead close to my...

Day 20 The pimple on my forehead was still in tact today. A smaller one growing on the other side of my forehead became red and a little more inflamed. One pimple on my right cheek closer to my nose c...

Day 19 The raw skin is healing and is now looking scar-like which is better. Obviously, I wish it would go away completely but its better it looks like that than look like an open wound. Unfortunatel...

Day 18 Skin looking clearer but don't want to jinx anything so I'll leave it at that. Raw skin bump thing at the top of my forehead is slowly healing as well. I made an appointment with an endocrinol...

Day 17 Woke up a little late today, looked at my face and again seeing some slight improvement. However I did also a notice a small bump growing on my upper right cheek close to my nose and a small b...

Day 16 Little over two weeks and starting to see more improvement. Last night the bump on my forehead came back with a vengeance and a friend (another one came up right next to it). I actually didn't...

Day 15 Early morning post--haven't even taken my Spiro yet for the day! Sipping some peppermint tea hoping this thing is actually working haha. My face is looking pretty good, two new small pores on ...

Day 14 Now its officially been two weeks of my Spiro and Retin A 0.025 regimen. I put on Retin-A last night because I felt a pimple coming on my cheek. Ugh, just my luck. It's still kind of forming, ...

Thanks for the tip, hope you're feeling better and all is well! Positive vibes!   They recommend holding off on Retin A for several days before using any peels. I've been using Mandelic and S...
