Hi,
I just received my first bottles of Dan's regimen, went for the larger sizes.
I can't imagine them lasting up to 3 or 4 months when your pumping 6 out every day.

How long do they really last?

Also, I only have very mild acne, do you think I would get away with using just 2 pumps of each?
It's so expensive to buy when you live in the UK with postage and custom charges...

Thanks,

I'm UK based and buy a tube (8oz) every few months. I only apply around the mouth but use what I'd say would be the equivalent of 1 pump. I suppose it all depends if you break out all over your face.

When you're using the full suggested amount it lasts 2 months. Once you're clear though you can adjust how much you're using, one step at a time, and eventually have the possiblity of stretching it to 3-4 months instead of just 2.

Honestly with the cleanser I don't think it's a big deal if you only use 2 pumps because it lathers so much anyway... I mean I've got a lot of area on my face to cover and half the soap goes into the sink when I'm lathering and I still have plenty left over on my hands after applying it to my face.

With the moisturizer though if you're first starting out do not skimp at all - your skin is going to get very dry because that's the side effect of BP. I suggest adding jojoba oil (3-5 drops) to help it. A lot of people who quit the Regimen do it just because their face is too dry and red but that's from not using enough/a great moisturizer. You can find jojoba at a health foods store.

And remember to start slow with the BP. Your skin will thank you later.
