Hey there peachy420!
I'm glad you think that my regimen sounds good...I'm pretty pleased thus far. Its been about 2 weeks and I have not developed a big cyst since I started! I am holding my breath though...worried about an initial breakout (especially since I just started Yasmin last night)!
Right now, the 3 topicals are all a bit drying--especially around my nose. I live in Ohio, so the change in winter weather probably isn't helping things out either!
Regarding your question, I have tried antibiotics before (minocycline, doxycycline, and some other one that smelled like rotten eggs!) You are right that they really improve the skin, but only temporarily. I got off of antibiotics b/c I had used them for so long that they were all giving me yeast infections. I would possibly consider going back to them, but I have heard that certain antibiotics can interfere with the effectiveness of BCPs. I also want to see how the Yasmin and topicals work over the next few months!
Rosac Cream is similar to Klaron Lotion in that it is fairly light and can go on under makeup. It is supposed to help clear up rosacea as well as clean out pores (blackheads!) The difference is that it is in a cream form...I find that it goes on my skin very smoothly! Also, Rosac contains sodium sulfacetamide 10% and sulfur 5%. I believe that Klaron does not have the sulfur. Rosac smells a little bit funky, but once you let it absorb and put a moisturizer on, I don't notice it. I will keep you posted on my progress!
Sorry my post is so long! Good luck with your regimen as well!
