Today is my second day using BP twice/day this week and I'm really excited!!!!
I've noticed a HUGE difference between Dan's Regimen and and other products that I've used (and I've used A TON of them, like ProActiv, skinID, Clarins, Clinique, Max Clear or whatever it's called, and others that I can't remember. I've also been to countless dermatologists who have performed peels and injections and nitrogen and who knows what else). I mean I've had blackheads since I was in elementary school and I've been suffering from acne from fifth grade on. Others have helped tame my acne, but the regimen really is making it go away (knock on wood).
Basically, I'm excited because I haven't had a huge breakout in about two weeks and the pimples that I've had for what seems like years are diminishing (again, knock on wood!).
I've also been using the jojoba oil for other purposes - I had the keratin treatment twice and each time it caused some dandruff that seemed to never go away. But I used the jojoba oil in my shampoo and it is going away! Magical stuff.
So I know my skin will be dry tomorrow but I really like what the regimen is doing to my skin so I'm going to continue to work up to the BP twice/day every day.
My job asked me to get a facial from a potential employee to see how good of a job they perform (a practical) and at first I said yes but then I realized that I don't want to ruin a good thing. So I called a coworker and she agreed to get the facial instead. It was a HUGE sigh of relief. She understood and she said "I know, using a new skin care line is like being on a diet. You don't want to change anything because it might mess everything up." I'm glad she understood.
I used a sample of the La Roche-Posay sunscreen at CVS the other day because I'm looking for an spf that won't make me break out. I'm not sure if this pimple was coming on anyway, but I did get a pimple in the area that I put the sunscreen on. So I'm thinking about using a different kind. Does anyone have any good spfs?
Other than that pimple, I have two of those white pimples that form by my nose which doesn't really bother me because they go away so quickly. Yay!

Hey keep up the good work! I have had similar problems with acne, used a TON of products, and have just stated the regimen. I started up a bit too hard I think, with the full 2 pumps of BP 2x/day because I thought I could handle it... I'm on day 4 and my skin is definitely drying more than anticipated so I think I'm going to follow what you are doing with jojoba oil.
One question: how is your overall dryness? Personally, where I used to use other products my skin is now overly dry on the regimen, it's where I hadn't really used anything (my forehead and the ourside edge of my face/chin) where it feels/looks like I got sunburn
That's what I did
I started out with two pumps twice/day and then I couldn't control the dryness. The jojoba oil helped me a TON so hopefully it'll help you too!!! try the jojoba mask, I swear it saved my skin. Also switching to one pump of BP once/day and working my way up to BP twice/day also helped a lot. Well at the moment my dryness isn't terrible at all, it's just mostly dry on my chin. The products I've used before I used all over my face. BUT I have noticed that when I put the BP on my neck, it dried out A LOT and I've never put any BP on my neck before. I haven't really thought about it though, so thanks for the info! I was mainly having the dryness problem on my chin/jawline/neck area. Also now I'm noticing that my forehead is peeling a little bit, but not so much that it bothers me.
I hope this helped!!!!! If you have any other questions, just let me know. I've been using the regimen a little bit more than a month now so I'm no expert, but I totally know how difficult the drying is.
I just couldn't help it!! I'll be better next time. Also, I just took these pictures right after I applied the moisturizer in the regimen, so it may be a bit irritated from the BP. Also, I look sickly because... well, I am. On MDW. Awesome!
