I'm stealing this thread from Dami4n. I thought it would be a good idea to have it here, just for reference and all. Anyway... Here it is:

Has anyone used PEARS soap before, how did you find it, did it cause any new spots etc, it says it wont clog pores on the box, how true is this?.

hi guys,

using my glycolic acid as my lather for a shave doesnt seem to be doing me any wonders (shoildnt have been so excited by dans shaving regimen vid..) anyway...can some one tell me a really good shaving gel and facial scrub to use from the UK?

this is kinda urgent as i need to shave tomorrow

price is no object, but i only breakout in shaving zones, jawline chin neck etc, so need something that wont irritate and isnt packed with irritants.

thanks,

also>>> anyone recommend a good razor, im using wilkinson sword disposables and they arent very good at all...!

Hi,

I was just wondering how long you normally give a new treatment before trying something else? I find it really easy to just write something off if it doesn't improve my skin in a week which probably isn't really enough time.

What do you guys think?

I've just started using the 8oz BP from Dans store and it's great.

Ideally I'd order a 16oz bottle but custom charges have put me right off (i'm from the UK).

How long does the 8oz bottle last? I'm not sure I can afford to buy it every month, including shipping, if it lasts only a month or less.

If anyone could advise, that would be great!

I'm sorry if this has been covered to death but it's really annoying finding something that might just work, and then discovering it could cost a fortune to keep up because of shipping/tax etc

Cheers folks!

What face wash is the best to use in the UK at the moment then, what are people using?.

Hi everyone,

I can feel a big sore bump growing under the skin on my chin.

It's not visible yet but I can feel it throbbing so it's only a matter of time before I have a massive spot there.

Can anyone suggest anything I can put on it to prevent it surfacing?

Thank you!

Does anyone know a good moisturiser in the UK which isn't too expensive but works well with flakes etc, and doesn't make acne any worse?.

hi , i would like to buy Dans Regimen .if somebody has some extra bottles and want to sell it give me a sign .i'm looking to buy it from somebody living in London ( that will be easier for me )

After getting rid of a spot, sometimes the skin around the spot turns red cause of all the pressure around that area, does anyone know a quick way of getting rid of this redness as it looks a mess?.

I noticed you can get 5% ibruprofen sports gels in all the supermarkets and chemists where I live, I assume it's the same elsewhere.

I wondered if it would help my acne, so I bought it and cautiously started using it on my face once a day. It seemed to improve and then I stopped and it got worse, then I started again, and it improved so I upped it to twice a day, and OMFG, yeah!

Results after a few months were spectacular, the number of spots went down by about 20 times (when used with 5% tea tree oil cream-both twice a day) and my skin tone was hugely better. You'd think it would make existing spots shrink, and it probably does, but what it seems to do best is prevent spots. Dunno why exactly.

I'm thinking it should work just as well with BP, but my skin loathes BP so I haven't been able to try it- if you try this, just don't put it on at the *same* time, leave an hour after BP or something or put the ibuprofen on half an hour before. They're just bound to quarrel, the BP will mess up the Ibuprofen, I just know it. Probably nothing bad would happen, but the ibuprofen wouldn't work.

I'm also thinking that other UK people need to try this. It's invisible, non irritating and a 35g tube lasts about a month for me, so not terribly expensive.

You should be able to use it with anything like BP, tea tree oil or antibacterial facial washes.

Honestly, nothing I've ever got over the counter has worked nearly this well for me. Others need to try this.

Can't believe I got stung for a £12 extra customs charge on top of what I paid for dans treatment.. won't be buying again from the yanks.. will try something closer to home next time.

Hi, Im selling 1 bottle of 8 oz Acne.org treatment gel (sealed, expires on 12/09) and 1 bottle of the AHA+ (new, without seal, but thats how I got it in the first place and I never opened or tried it, expires 05/10). So anybody interested? I can it put it in ebay or something. By the way Im selling it for £27 plus UK delivery and plus ebay or paypal fees, if applicable. Thanx

i have a couple of questions for all of you...

firstly, im currently using "boots expert sensitive gentle cleansing wash"...

Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Cleansing Wash

i was wondering whether anyone else had used this product? and what the results were?...or did you use any of the other boots expert products?...

i also moisturise with Eucerin 5% face cream urea...even though it seems to be a good product for me, the price is a little off putting...

i was wondering whether there were any similar moisturisers at a reasonable price, i see a lot about simple products on here...?

i have sensitive/dry skin...its such a weird combination of skin to sort out lol...

look forward to hearing your reponses,

thanks

i have a used beautyskin lamp for sale,,,
its about 6 months old and was used for 5 months,worked well to control my moderate acne down to mild but ive been due to go on accutane for some time and have started using accutane now, so i cant use the lamp and hopefully after my course finishes i wont need anything like the lamp any longer...or washes or creams lol
like i say the lamp helped improve my skin quite alot while using it,i used it for 15mins everyday for 5 months but the lamps are suppose to last 3 years if they are used for 15 minutes everyday so has plenty of life left in it...
it comes in orignal box,googles,instructions,its as good as new

email me if your interested with any offers,cheers

I am looking for a good cleanser and treatment widely available in the UK, I have been looking into Boots Tea Tree Oil and Witch Hazel Cleanser and Treatment, has anyone had any experiences with this?

I've seen a derm about 8yrs ago but wasnt for my acne.
What should I expect from the derm? Do I tell him what products I'm using rihgt now for my acne? Do they examine your skin or just let you pick which treatments..anyway what topicals do they usually prescribe?
I'm using Retin-A already- though its purchased from online pharmacies in India, so I guess I cant really tell my derm that I'm buying illegal meds . What brand of Retin-A does the UK offer- Johnson and Johnson?
Thanks

I'm looking for something to treat blackheads that I can get in the UK. My blackheads are on the nose and pretty deep, I think.

I'd like to know what you use, what's worked and what hasn't. Thanks.

I use the anti bac face wash and i really like it! but i found out 2 day the clearing booster that i use (and pay £22 for) has Benzoyl Peroxide 5% as the active ingredient so i was thinking i should just get the BP do u think it will work the same?? it also has Alginate zinc triplex whatever that is

Hey just a quickie.

Ive have used this for a month and its completely cleared my skin now. I have had clear skin after Accutane for a few years and then it came back a bit. Retin A kept me under control for the next couple years till I started breaking out randomly with a a kind of spotty rash then my doctor gave me erythromycin for this rash. My skin has never been so good.

My problem is now my skin is clear my doctor will not give me erythromycin again.

I know that I will continue to get spots so im just wondering if anyone orders this online from the states and if so anywhere they can get it for cheap?

Many thanks

anyone know where to get pantethine in the UK

I've just started Dan's regimen, I'm on day 4 and already I'm seeing an improvement in my skin - thanks Dan!

I found my supplies at Morrisons, I'm using Simple Foaming Face Wash to cleanse, Panoxyl 2.5% BP and Simple Light Moisturiser. The Panoxyl isn't on the shelf, so I had to ask at the Pharmacy counter. I'm also taking a multi-vitamin and zinc supplement along with cod liver oil capsules (1 of each a day).

So far, I've noticed the large angry red spots have started to shrink away and are much less reddened and where I used to get clusters of stubborn, small whiteheads (especially in the crease at the side of my nose), these areas are already cleared.

After years of misery, I'm already starting to feel much better; I really can't thank Dan and the others here who have posted so much useful information enough!

Hi there, for anyone looking for an amazing cleanser there is only one link in the UK that sells it because its a US product. It is not widely known yet in the UK but will be soon, its great. Go to
www.miracle2soaponline.co.uk/index.html
there is a plain soap or one with added moisturizer all products are 100% natural and extremely good for the skin. Cleansers will remove any make up or old bp etc off your face easily and feels great. Try it!!!

Hello! I'm very interested in switching from Proactive to Dans reg in order to save pennies! Could a kind person please tell me exactly, in pounds and pence, how much it costs to get a starter set sent to me in the UK? Well I'm in Northern Ireland so maybe you could tell me if you even post here for a start.
I read elsewhere of someone who got an obscene customs charge when they received their parcel, but this might not put me off if the total was still less than the £35 I pay for Proactiv.
Hope you can help! thank you!

Hello,

I think Jojoba oil broke me out...I would like to try Emu oil...REALLY FLAKY SKIN NOW. May I know anyone using it & where can I get it? Which brand should I buy? Thanks a lot!!

Anyone know any other good UK moisturisers apart from eucerin, i'm trying to find a cheaper alternative, i'm using the johnson one at the moment but it doesn't quite moisturise good enough?.

I have the "Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Deep Clean Cream Wash", i picked it up cause i have sensitive and dry skin...and thought that it would be a suitable product for me...

i dont generally use any face wash, most of the time just water, but i seem to get a few spots here and there, and thought maybe a face wash would be much more beneficial to reducing and removing the likelihood of getting spots...

obviously its going to be sort of "trial and error" phase while using any product...but...

im just wondering whether others have used this product and what there thoughts are about this product?...

would be nice to know whether people have bad or good reactions to it...

thanks for you time

I'm going on Accutane soon and I need a good cleanser and moisturizer and I've read that Cetaphil is the best for Acccutane but I cannot seem to find anywhere good to buy it in the UK.

Cetaphil have a UK website but stupidly only let you order by printed form and cheque and only offer a cleanser. This is ridiculous as I'm sure they would have a potential huge market in the UK.

Does anyone know any reliable websites or eBay sellers who stock the Cetaphil range? Or is there a good alternative to Cetaphil for Accutane in the UK?

Thanks.

What face washes are people using these days then that work good?.

Hi )

I'm currently using Eucerin Skin Renewal face cream as part of Dan's regimen. It's the best one I've tried so far, but I still have quite dry and flaky skin in some areas, even reapplying it. I know Cetaphil is recommended as really moisturing, but I can only find Cetaphil moisturiser in the US meaning paying stupidly high shipping rates - does anyone know an alternative in the UK please?

Thanks
