I’ve been soaking in some rays in my back yard for the last couple of weeks. I wear a hat so I don’t expose my face and neck too much, but my body is exposed.

At any rate, bear with me, this might get a little yucky, but I’ve been lazy and not covering the outdoor wood chair I sit in with a towel. It’s been pretty warm too so I tend to sweat. The combo of the hard surface directly against the moist skin on my back caused some irritation and I found myself beginning to break out a bit on my back. The breakout may have been partially due to the sun exposure as well.

I decided to go on 100% attack! Last night I loaded on BP (2 pumps on each side of my back), waited 15 minutes for it to dry, and generously applied AHA.

Literally overnight my emerging breakout subsided to almost nothing. It just reminded me how powerful the severe back acne regimen really is. It also reminded me how important it is to be generous with product application.

Just thought I’d share. I had only a small emerging breakout – perhaps 3 or 4 small zits and some very small comedones. People who have more severe acne should not expect complete overnight clearing. However, even severe back acne should respond quickly and dramatically.

Because the skin on the back is so thick and tough, feel free to go full strength from day one should you decide to try it out.

I love instant gratification

It’s raining today, so I guess no sun today…

Some of you have been asking about where to find the expiration date on the new 8oz. treatment tubes. It’s up there in the crimp.

Hey you guys–just wanted to keep you informed–we’ve started shipping the 8oz. BP in tubes today. So if you order from today on, you’ll get a tube. 16oz. BP is still in a bottle with a pump

Quick clarification: I say in the video that it’s OK to use the AHA+ as a nightly moisturizer every night. This is only true for people who have been on the Regimen for at least a month. I do not recommend AHA at the start of the Regimen while your skin is still adjusting to benzoyl peroxide.
