For almost three weeks, I was in so much pain from an HS flare-up. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t drive, and there were moments when I couldn’t use the bathroom comfortably or even pick things up off the floor. I was exhausted, frustrated, and ready for some relief. Back in June, I purchased the @C.P.C. Ritual from fellow HS warrior @Whitney-HSWarrior. I waited until I had an active flare because I really wanted to give my honest opinion and see how my skin responded while going through one. When I eventually flared underneath my arm, I completely forgot I had the products until another HS warrior mentioned them. I immediately thought, Wait, this is the perfect time to try them. Before using anything, I called Whitney around 11 PM to make sure I understood all the steps. She was so kind and supportive and walked me through the entire ritual. I started with Cleanse, which smelled SO good, followed by Promote, which I applied directly to my flare and my padding before bed. The next morning, it still hadn’t drained, and I’m not going to lie, I was a little disappointed. 😭 I was so ready for relief. I applied a little more Promote that morning and spent the day resting. Later that afternoon, I lifted my arm and noticed it was finally coming to a head. Shortly after, it started draining A LOT, and I eventually got into the shower to take care of everything. When I realized it had only been about 16 hours since my first application, I was honestly shocked. After everything I had gone through with this flare, I wasn’t expecting that. I’m still learning how my skin responds, but I definitely want to continue trying Cleanse and Promote with future flares but, so far, so good! It’s super special knowing these products were created by a fellow HS warrior. 💜 If there’s one thing this journey has taught me, it’s to stay open to learning more about our bodies, trying new things, and finding what works for us. #HidradenitisSuppurativa #HSAwareness #HSWarrior #CPCRitual #soulajman
