Its been a long journey but i've made it this far and still going at it. im officially done 12 weeks (3 months) and im finally seeing positive results. i barely get any pimples now, im so happy with this regimen. Right now i have no active pimples (YES!!!!) and well theres nothing else much to say. For those who are starting, just have some patients and keep positive. Remember to start off very slowly, gently, and do the regimen exactly until you're completely clear before making it your own regimen.
Right now, the only thing im suffering is hyper pigmentation. So i just have to keep clear and eventually that will fade on its own.
There are things that i faced during this journey that made me want to quit many many times but i want to thank those that help me get through this and stay on the regimen.
So somethings you'll face is redness, tanned, irritated , dryness, missing application, looking like a zombie, purging, inching, puffiness and probably some more that i havent mention yet. So just start VERY slowly, be patient, and this will subside. Avoid neck and eye area as those are very sensitive to the BP but it will slowly get use to it. When moisturising, still try to avoid the eye and neck area. Try not to miss any applications as this regimen works most effectively if done exactly.
I'll be keeping updates, and for those who are on the regimen Good luck.

SOOOOOOOO happy to hear you are finally getting the results you've been waiting for AcneeHater.... I'm proud of you for sticking to it and not giving up... Trust me it only gets better from here...

This inspires me!! Ive been on the Regimen for 3 weeks now, so you can only imagine the dryness and flaking.
Im also getting way more used to the BP and im finally on the full finger length and my face is definitly smoother now.
Its just soo hard to stay patient, I almost quit on week 1 lol.
I will definitly stick it out for the full 3 months and hopefully i will have clear skin again!

yeah i hate the flakiness. AHA helps. I just started using AHA again but what i do, its 1 pump of dan's moisturiser and a thin fingerlength of AHA+ and i probably apply this once or twice a week or sometimes i dont even apply any; just only when my flakiness is unbearable. For you right now, i'd recommend before moisturising is to wait 15mins until BP is completely dry then apply 1pump with 3 drops of jojoba oil, wait until dry and add one pump with 2 drops jojoba oil (if u dont have jojoba oil, just apply the moisturise in two steps) then work your self to 2 pumps in one step and just gentle move the moisturiser around until its even; its weird but it sorta helped me with dryness.
Good luck keep it up.

patient is the key my friend. If you got school in the morning just wake up extra early

Soo im on week 5 now and my face is soo much smoother now. Just dealing with old bumps and a couple of new ones.
The real problem is my flakiness though. Its like sooooo bad but i started today using your advise and i switched to Dans Lotion and his Jojoba.
i put 2 pumps with 6 drops then wait about 30 minutes. and reapply 1 pump 2 drops if i still feel dry. Also i havent been able to get his AHA becuase its sold out!
it will b out my may1 soo ill get it too. thanks and ill keep it up for a week and see how it goes

Hey ya'll, so i'm on week 7 and my face is breaking out again #UGH i was clear by week 4 and now this... is that how it is? clear, breakout, and then clear at week 12? cause i'm getting really frustrated and sad because i saw such great improvement and them BAM...

[AcneeHater]

yeah that was like me, i would have bad break outs every 2nd week and that made me want to quit so many times. Just Keep at it and it will subside. When i hit my 3month (12 weeks) i really noiced that i didnt breakout again as i would used to. and right now i might get like 1 or 2 pimples prob every week or 2, but it wasnt as bad as before becuase i would recover so much quicker. So in my experience, just stick to the regimen and eventually it will subside. Just avoid touching ur face. We're all here together =)

Indeed it is like that.. I'm well into week 15 and had a breakout... It was just a clogged pore that got a bit inflamed, but they still do happen... You'll notice the frequency and duration of the breakouts begin to lessen over time, but you can still experience breakouts... As AcneeHater said, just keep at it.. It does get better... Good luck and keep us up to date on your progress...
