I'm beginning to wonder if it is working. Maybe it's the low dosage. Does it kick in suddenly during week 2?pattyk Pattyk Sat, 16 Dec 2006 00:00:00 GMT week three seems to be the worst. i'm in the beginning of that week and let me tell you, it hurts very badly. baby butt wipes-no chems in them adn they do wonders for washing your face. lots of vaseline too. take care and this board is a godsend. Pammy123164 Sat, 16 Dec 2006 00:00:00 GMT Thanks for the baby wipes tip. I have head that week 3 is aweful. So far as I end week 1 I just have red spots. Pattyk Sun, 17 Dec 2006 00:00:00 GMT I finished yesterday and was so very happy to be done.  Today, after not having to apply it last night, my face looks the same, really.  It's itchy and i'm starting to bleed in some spots and it's still quite raw...like a million papercuts all over my face.
