[CLO Journey] DAY 11 (or 12)

SO I'M STILL BREAKING OUT --WHITEHEADS UGH.

I have been consistently taking a pill daily. I'm not sure as how Cod Liver Oil works in terms of dosage. I just read the label on the pill container which clearly says "take one daily" and ofc im following that.

I have also done my research and tbh, detailed info about Cod liver oil concerning moderate-severe acne isn't available. I've read reviews but it's either the person didn't update nor it didn't really help with my current situation. Several people stopped when they started breaking out.

Unfortunately, my forehead started breaking out as well. DUDE. It has been clear for months. I know I don't really break out there anymore besides my period time, otherwise nah. AND THEYRE CYSTIC! OMG.
TBH, I'm not sure if it's the facial cleanser I used yesterday which is Mamonde's sebum control foam

Mamonde Lotus Micro Sebum Control Foam
I actually bought the tiniest (30 mL) version of this one a few  months ago. I remember it didnt work too well with my skin so i stopped-- idk why I bothered reintroducing it. THIS COULD BE THE CULPRIT. BUT I WILL COMPLETELY STOP.

ANYWAYS, My face is TERRIBLE. HONESTLY MY FACE HAS NEVER BEEN THIS BAD--ITS SO SEVERE I HAVE A HUGE RED DRY PATCH WITH WHITEHEADS ON BOTH OF MY CHEEKS. PLUS MY FOREHEAD HAS 3 HUGE ASS CYSTIC ONES. I have been also sleeping really late--but I have always slept late so Im pretty sure thats not the issue.

So far, Im not having a good time with CLO

If you're going to test this make sure you dont have any big event bc trust me if you have acne prone sensitive skin like I do it aint gonna work out. 
I HOPE THIS WILL ONLY LAST FOR 2 WEEKS PLS.



BUT INITIAL BREAKOUT MAYBE??? UGH
SELF-ESTEEM: NEGATIVE 18787878

[CLO Journey] DAY 7 (or 8?)

SO MANY WHITEHEADS OMG.

My acne worsened for sure. Before I started taking this the left side of my face was clear and so was my forehead. Well, not anymore. The whiteheads are real. and they hurt A LOT! I have also developed cystic acne on my jawline.

In short, my face hurts a lot. like damn. this better be what they call an initial breakout. I swear if this goes on for 2 weeks I am done.

Oh and it's also kind of drying?

I am also putting myself in social confinement until this gives me desirable results. B/c honestly, its bringing my self-esteem down by 1000000000000000000 times.

Cod Liver Oil for acne

Dermatologists are out of the question for me. Last time I went they prescribed me Retin A and that didnt work out after generously using it for 6 months.(Ive been also prescribed a lot of things in the past)
My skin cleared up during Feb-March b/c of this local chinese product called BL CREAM (you can google it for further information). All I know is that it is MADE for skin rash and whatnot--not specifically for acne--THEREFORE, prolonged usage of this cream is a NO-NO.

I used it irregularly from Jan-March then somehow it stopped working--so I was back with this awful breakouts--may it be cystic whiteheads you name it. I was so frustrated!

Anyways, I would apply tea tree oil to keep it at bay--still okay.
However, at the end of August to September my skin just went BERSERK!
I blame it on myself for not thoroughly cleansing my face eversince I have used the Double Wear. Plus I have also introduced A TON of products to my face.
I'm starting to think that the rosehip oil is  a culprit.

ANYWAYS, I decided to plunge into the CLO community. LOL. Cod Liver Oil. Yes.
CLO is known for its high dosage of Vitamin A and D which are good for your skin. And I have also read from somewhere that Accutane also contain a high amount of Vitamin A {?} .
So I bought this from my local drugmart store.



I have done a lot of research before getting it. I have read that it was a holy grail for majority and just didn't work out for some.

I started taking this on the 28th or 29th of september--One pill daily. IT IS A HUGE PILL OMG.

SO FAR I am breaking out. Mostly whiteheads--and some cystic. After almost a week of taking it I have decided that I will not put ANYTHING on my face--nope not even moisturizer.
TASTE I honestly dont taste the fish unless a burp a minutes later lol

I'm thinking that this is the initial breakout. I will keep this blog updated about it.
