Hi everyone, I have created this log so I can keep organized and make sure I follow Dan's Regimen precisely!


Some Background Info: I am 18 years old and I have acne. (no shit) Anyways back in 10th grade I had moderate-severe acne. From 10th-12th grade I was seeing a dermatologist and I was prescribed almost everything, nothing worked. When 12th grade started I was prescribed accutane, I was on it for 5 months and my acne cleared for about 3 months. I started getting acne again...but I must say the ONLY reason Im glad I took Accutane is that my acne is now mild-moderate, my acne can't seem to get any stronger. Accutane killed off part of my acne, Thank God! Im now here to change my mild-moderate acne to CLEAR!


Day 1(Nightime)

Had a nice wash, applied the BP and moisturized! I didn't apply AHA or Jojoba Oil. Going to wait a month or so to apply AHA. Might try Jojoba Oil Tomorrow, been hearing it makes your skin look oily though..

Got class at 12 noon tomorrow, going to sleep.

Night!

Day 2

I am 100% clear! just kidding

So today I didn't have any dry skin, my skin was a little red thats about it. I am prepared for the dry skin though. If I survived accutane with 5 months of severe dry skin I think I can handle BP.

Ok so I would like to say that I do not consider my acne moderate at all, it is definatly mild. I have a lot of red spots and acne along my jaw but not much and my lower cheeks. My forhead has some acne but not much also just like small bumps.


Tomorrow I am going to my local vitiman store and buying Dans recommended vitimans: Zinc, Fish Oil, Vitiman D3 and Multivitiman

That is all.

Hey yeah Im hoping nothing changes to much lol because im loving the results right now! Thank you I will definatly hang in there !

Day 9

Just got back from the vitiman store bought Vitiman D3 1000iu, Zinc 50mg, Fish Oil 1000mg, and Multi Vitiman. All these supplements are the best of the best, they cost a lot of money and are pure, no toxins.

As for my face today, it is more red, I got dry skin like 2 days ago, but I have been controlling it really well, no new acne. The acne on my jaw line is dieing. Things are looking good!

How long does it take to get uses to BP?

Thanks,
Mike

Day 17


All I can say is I forgot what it feels like to have clear skin! Not just clear either it has this overall healthy look, like it did back in 8th grade! I cant believe it, I will still follow with this regimen. I currently upped it to 1 pump of BP moring and night. I also don't get dry skin at all i use lot of moisturizer and the moisturizer dosen't make my skin look greasy. I honestly can't ask for anything better, seriously. Im so happy ! I love Dans regimen and reccomend it to all!

Day 23(November 17, im up late)

The days are going by so fast, seriously like 10x faster then when I was on accutane and those days were preety fast.

My face is getting better and better by the days. I have three very small white heads on my forhead that is all, and a few scatterd red marks along my jawlines.

I am 2 days into week 4 and I tried AHA+ already, I'd say back around day 19, it went really well my skin reacts amazing to it, but I am going to wait till week 5 just because I feel it would be best.

All my confidence that I had lost from all the years of acne is slowly coming back!

It getting late, going to sleep

Peace,
mike

Day 28(November 22, up late again...)


Hmmm what to say, well I still get acne on my jawline, 1 active zit on both sides of my jaw/neck line, but I have no worries they will be gone soon lol, back on day 23 when I said I have those white heads, well there gone. Since then I got 1 small zit on my forhead and another one near my left temple. In total I have 4 zits on my face. There going to die soon though lol. So im about to enter week 5 and I am going to start using AHA+

Im only 18 and I might outgrow my acne who knows, but for now Dan's Regimen is doing an amazing job of preventing my acne.I will focus on finding what causes my acne! I am going to get food alergy tests, my hormones check and whatnot. Once I find out what is causing my acne, guess what I can get off the regimen but for now "trial and error."

Ex: I only had 1 zit, one day and I ate tomatoes the next day bam! 2 new zits, hmm maybe I shouldn't eat tomatoes?

Somethings i put into my body are causing acne or something in my body is causing acne and im determined to find out what the fuck is going on!

Peacee out,
mike

Day 34(up late once again...)

Welll guys I got addicted to AHA+, Ive been using it every night and I think i need to calm down and use it every 2 or 3 days. My skin is so smooth now and tone is a lot better because of AHA.

I have like 1 active zit which is small and 3 others that just died down, I have a few red marks on my jawline, thats it. Otherwise im preety clear!

Oh I also cut down on BP like ALOT, I don't even use a 1 pump, I use half, and sometimes I only use it on affected areas but lately I've been using it all over my face.

Im telling you until my skin starts breaking out all over, I will not use soo much BP on my face.


Peaceee,
mikee

Day 47

Hello,
It's been a couple of days and my face is basically 100% clear only thing is I still get some acne around my jawline/neck area. I also haven't been worrying too much about my skin and just been living my life. I have missed a couple of applications, some days I just applied moisturizer. I have been going out with friends to visit colleges and what not. It's hard to stick with the regimen when you are going out a lot but I need to step it up. I also have been applying AHA+ a lot, I try not to apply it every night but my skin can handle it and it just SO much easier to apply then the moisturizer. My skin also has a amazing even tone now I love.

Thank you Dan!
