This picture was taken today with nothing but moisturizer, ignore the swollen eyes, allegies suckk
(and there are tons of close ups of my skin all over the blog)
I have been thinking about posting this for a while but I hateeee these pictures so much. I also wanted to post because I have been getting a lot of compliments on my skin and it isn't naturally like this lol. I have been struggling with my skin for the past 3-4 years. I tried everything! Proactive made me horribly swollen and itchy, Retin A did very little, Minocyclin and Differin gel together worked great initially but did nothing after a year,all over the counter products failed, the Clairsonic Mia did nothing, and oil washing made it way worse. I really hated my skin and didn't even want to wear my makeup because i felt like it didn't look good and foundation can't hide acne or bumps.
After doing some research I stumbled across Acne.org and I am so glad I did. If you have skin issues and have tried everything definately give this a try! It is so simple I really thought it wouldnt work, the 2.5% Bp is also way gentler on your skin than the 10% stuff in Proactive and most other acne products. I also like that you can use drug store products to follow the regimen. The website contains a list of products you can use, he sell products also.
Products I use:
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion
Acne.Org 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Treament
** There are reviews for all of his products on makeupalley, the ratings are all great, esp for the BP!

The website is really detailed and it is important you follow the instructions so I will just post important links:
I didn't have a camera at the time and I was having issues with my phone so I didnt take pictures after I started. I did notice improvement a few days after I started and was pretty much clear in 2-3 weeks (It is different for everyone).Here are the pictures of my skin right before I started in October. I still get a break out or two occasionally but nothing like before. These pictures are poor quality because I used my phone my skin actually looked a lot worse. I am not even sure why I took these because I did'nt have a blog at the time lol.
I was wearing makeup in this picture and it did nothing, I also adjusted the contrast some so you could see the acne better :(
