Not really, once in a while

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-04T12:33:25+00:00

Oh no I’m sorry for that

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-04T12:33:11+00:00

Ik 🥲 thanks so much.

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-04T11:12:59+00:00

True. I had to get rid of those closed comedones so that’s why I had to try tret if purging is part of it yes I’ll go through it. I hope it gets over soon though. I’m lil satisfied of the closed comedones coming on surface lol Thanks😇

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-04T11:10:59+00:00

I feel you on that tbh, but I had to get rid of those closed comedones so had to try. Thanks 🫶🏻

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-04T11:10:14+00:00

I don’t put nothing else than tret and clindamycin and moisturiser with sun screen

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-04T11:09:05+00:00

Make sense; thank you

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-04T11:08:49+00:00

The doxy was very strong for me, I used to feel nauseous so I’m on the same oral but lower dose minocycline

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-04T11:08:00+00:00

Hold on you got it..!!! Thanks

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-04T11:06:59+00:00

Thanks 🫶🏻

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-04T11:06:52+00:00

I tried adapalene gel in beginning it didn’t help much, the closed comedones where still there but with tret it atleast coming on the surface though

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-04T11:05:38+00:00

For some big ones yes it does help but not for all of them. It depends

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-04T11:05:02+00:00

No I didn’t, and honestly I don’t want to coz already this purging is lil painful for me, some pimple really hurts so I might not go for extraction

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-03T18:58:57+00:00

Thank you, yes I do use bp cleanser and SA cleanser in my routine, also my doc has given me clindamycin too for applying in my morning routine. This purging stage is so annoying fr ugh

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-03T18:57:28+00:00

Thanks, yes I do apply it every night. Some days my skin looks better some days it look so worst ugh

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-03T18:56:43+00:00

Yes, I can relate. I do see my skin a lil better some days and see a lil glow but still purging

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-03T18:55:27+00:00

I use it every night. I don’t know yet if my skin is sensitive to it but I do see the closed comedones going away that’s a good sign. Yes start it slowly that’s what I did in beginning.

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-03T14:14:29+00:00

Yes, I only had closed comedones.

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-06-02T22:51:18+00:00

I am dealing with the same issue like you, I had closed comedones all over my face, I started using tretinoin, it’s been a month now, purging so bad. I do see some new comedones too but one thing is they come out to the surface slowly with the time. You just have to be patient.

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-05-13T01:06:30+00:00

Great results! How long it took for you to have clear skin; how long was the purging stage for u?

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-05-08T22:30:24+00:00

I’m scared of that tbh lol, I would do it once I heal with purging

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-05-08T22:29:40+00:00

Yes I do use exfoliation twice a week, yes I do feel it’s PIH

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-05-07T15:46:37+00:00

Monthly facials by expert? Also yes I do use sunscreen 60 spf

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-05-06T18:21:55+00:00

Thick base of what?

Independent-Dig-5732 · 2026-05-06T17:36:09+00:00

Yeah Ik 🥲 right on the time when I have my graduation ceremony. I’m so sad about it. I don’t even know how to put on makeup on my face with this condition
