would toning with apple cider vinegar be way to irritating and drying along with the regimen? I know, you're not suppose to add any extra steps until you are completely clear, but has anyone used acv along with the regimen without too much irritation?

Yeah, I do not think that'd be a good idea. I got a facial while I was a month on the Regimen and it screwed over all my results. Don't do it.

Alright, thanks ; ) ill just stick with the basics and see how im doing on the regimen. i just wanted to see if anyone else has tried this because i heard acv was good for evening out your skin tone and lessening red marks.

Im actually only on dans regimen in the morning i should of mentioned that, i use ziana at night, maybe i could get away with doing it before applying ziana. hmm

Sounds like there are a lot of other factors in play here, which could affect how The Regimen works for you. Unfortunately, because you're using (or planning on using) other treatments, you'll have no way to tell if The Regimen works for you or not.

To my suprise, adding the regimen in the morning (before i was just cleansing, and applying ziana only at night) has "seemingly" really improved my skin. I really hope it continues to do this well. Im still a little stuck because this is about the time ( 2 1/2 months) that ziana "should" be working properly, so I really dont want to cut ziana out of my nightly regimen. The true regimen (morning/night) may infact be better for me, but im gonna have to hold off and continue with this regimen to see if the results continue.

I just got Dans cleanser/bp last night and was able to use it this morning. I really love the way the cleanser smells, and the bp application went very smooth.
