Dfferin Update 4

End of Week 6 Differin

Wow i almost forgot to do my weekly update this week because of the long holiday, i thought today was Monday. Happy Lunar New Year to all Chinese!

Anyways, my skin has tone down. Ever so slightly though. I have a close cousin who is facing the same hormonal acne difficulties as me. We started around the same time? But she isn't on Differin. She uses other OTC products. And.. her face has tone down way a lot more than me. Of course i'm pretty jealous because who doesn't want clear skin and in our case, improving our skin. She's just dealing with scars. But anyways again, it's always YMMV. So i still gotta stay positive, i mean it's not like mine aren't improving.

At the moment, i still have like maybe 5 pimples? Those hard ones where it takes weeks to heal. But it doesn't have white pus or a head. Just red underneath the skin. My forehead CCs has start to purge a little but it's not as bad as how my cheeks purged. My chin area is pretty much clear except a little white heads near the mouth area. I believe it's from last week purge that is healing slowly.

My cheeks however, sigh. My cheeks are my biggest battle. For the most part, it's not as bad as how i started Differin. But on my left, there's 2 big pustules. It doesn't bother me that much because pustules when it dries up i can just hydrocolloid plaster them up and within a week it'll be okay. The major thing i'm dealing with right now is my left cheek. All the underneath thingy bajingy that has been hidden under the skin when taut, went up the surface ever so slowly. My right side was much faster. So now it's the left side. I'm having like tons of CCs on my left. And like 3-4 pimples.

So yeah it's not as bad as the first few weeks, but it's definitely not clear yet. And I don't know what pattern it has right now, but i'm just really afraid that it'll get worse.. I'm scared that those CCs on my cheeks will turn into pimples :(

Although, i don't know whether it's because i've been too cooped up in the house for far too long, but i have slightly more confidence going out with makeup. And i mean slightly, slightly. Because of CCs, my face looks terrible with foundation. Makeup enhance those textures. *cries*

Looking at my face on my phone right now.. bleagh i just spotted a new pimple. And my face is still very texturized. sigh.. When will this nightmare ends.
