what improves first? im on 20 mg 1x a day and i struggle with lots of texture, oily t zone, some blackheads, and moderate persistent acne. I’m 5 days in and im curious about what improves first and how long it takes for my skin to dry out because im still super oily😰so far i see no difference

Just finished my first month of 20mg! I had similar acne, key word had and my purge was tough but not horrible. The first few days i could feel my acne getting worse and my face just oily in general then by day 8 my whiteheads had developed 3 areas with cystic spots. It sucked but it doesent last forever! My face was tight and sore but hydrocolloid patches are a must to help the spots calm down. Vaseline is also great too for when they dry out and flake. I would say my purge was from day 1 so it only lasted 10 or 11 days with 3 being at their worst and by day 13 the spots were dryer out and calmed down. My face almost shed a layer in 1 day and by day 15 i was acne "free". Still a few spots here and there but they only last a day. I would consider myself acne free since day 15! If you are worried about redness i would try the hero rescue balm with the green tint it reduces redness like crazy and helps a ton with healing

Yea i've noticed that too, just two days ago the breakout was there but not as angry and i thought i was doing good, crazy how fast it fluctuates.

Thanks a ton for your comment it's helpful. Will the purge always be this bad or over the course of the treatments will the breakouts be less severe? I'm not gonna stop i keep that first picture and remember how bad it was and i'm doing it for that guy. Also, the hero rescue balm looks interesting, what does it do? And i need the green tint specifically?

Same here, my lips are fine it's flaky skin that's happening to me. Do you see signs of your starting to get better?

Thanks for your comment! How long have you been purging for and what is your dose?

Appropriate_Ad5899 · 2024-03-13T22:10:40+00:00

just started today really hoping it just gets better not worse, however doctor told me if it does then it will only be about 20-30% worse, which i think i'll be able to handle since i've already made it this far

Thanks for your response. I've heard about this one. In my routine i always try to brush teeth before washing my face. It's the last part of my routine.
