I am a 27 year old woman who suffered from hormonal acne since a teenager, but not anymore!
My skin has always been very sensitive and tends to get red very easily. I tried it all. I bought drugstore products, then tried expensive ones and finally visited several dermatologists who gave me pills and acne treatment products with no success (they only over-irritated my sensitive skin). I visited a dietician and followed a healthy lifestyle (diet + regular exercise) and I felt great, but my skin was a different story.
A month ago, my face was a complete disaster and even strangers felt the need to share their tips about acne with me as if I weren't trying hard enough to get rid of it. I was going to give up and try Accutane, but since the summertime was arriving I thought I'd rather wait. One day I was searching some info online and I found your website and I decided I’d buy the Regimen. I had nothing to lose and it was my last shot before Accutane. I applied the Regimen all over my face except my forehead because I was clear there (chin and nose were the problem areas). The first 4 days my skin was very red and stung a lot, then it started flaking, but after only 5 days I was blessed with clearer skin! I’m on my 4th week and my pores are tiny, my skin feels so smooth I even started applying the Regimen on my forehead too. I get compliments on my skin for the first time in 27 years and I don’t even need to use foundation to cover my blemishes because I don’t have any! I get a tiny whitehead on my nose or chin every other week (that’s why I’m thinking to include AHA in my plan), but nothing to worry about. I am SO thankful for the time and effort you put on your products and website. I am definitely recommending this to all my relatives and friends and no doubt I will keep ordering from your website in the future.
THANKS so much Daniel Kern, money can’t pay the feeling of having a baby smooth skin! Keep up with the great work :-)

I ordered your products almost 2 months ago & wanted to let you know how great they are working for me! I am 30 years old & never had much acne until I was in my late 20's. I have tried everything from Proactiv to Philosophy & spent A LOT of money in the process but this is the first & only product that has worked 100% of the time for my skin. Your cleanser is gentle, the level of b-peroxide is not harsh, the moisturizer is AMAZING & the AHA is such a bonus! My skin looks healthier & I have had so many people comment on it looking clear & more radiant. I never had horrible acne, just spots here & there but this has taken care of it completely & I saw results almost right away! Thanks so much for your products & your helpful website which not only gives tips but also educates. You have found a loyal customer in me & I wish you and your business all the best success!!

Hey Dan Add me to your unbelievable list of people who tried your regimen and had success. I'm 35, and everything else in my life is going great except my skin! Since I was about 30, I started getting really bad acne. The kind of blemishes that hurt deep down and take weeks to really go away. I always got them in my chin and it made being close to a guy painful. Also, I'm in public relations so I feel how I look is important....I work out, get my hair done, and spend $$ on clothes.....only to be mortified by an emormous red pimple on my chin. Recently, it started getting worse. And, the worst part is I had started to let my zits control my social life.....as in I'm not going out tonight because I have a pimple and Im embarrassed. It became a painful, agonizing, self-esteem shattering cycle. I'd have a clear week, feel good, only to feel like a failure again because I'd break out About a month ago I ordered a very expensive ($100) system and while I was looking online, I came across your site. Wow. I stopped at the drugstore on my way home a couple hours later and picked up exactly what you suggested. It started working so quickly that I called and cancelled my expensive order. I cannot believe it, but my skin has not looked this consistently good and clear in years. I have been able to cut back a little on the BP and I just make sure I cover my chin extremely well in the morning. I had one blemish starting and by using a lot of BP that night, it went away without a trace. Thank you for allowing me to have a life again that is not consumed by my skin!! I no longer freak out if I don't have concealer in my purse. I no longer shudder at the thought of swimming on the beach and getting my face wet. I am not afraid of my boyfriend seeing me first thing in the morning without makeup. In fact, I don't worry about my skin at all anymore and that is such a gift! I feel normal! I have been able to stop using strong nauseating antibiotics that only heal the cysts anyway! I finally feel in control of how I look. Thanks for sharing this simple secret. I urge anyone else out there who is hesitant to just TRY IT. It's truly changed my life.

Right, so it's only been about 3 weeks, but to be fair I could easily have written this a week and a half ago. This stuff is actually a miracle! It's got some magical joo-joo or something that just makes it so fab!!!
I've had bad skin since I was 12 (18 now) and have never really found a 'cure' for acne. Stuff's made it better, stuff's made it worse, but I've never really found anything that made my skin literally perfect. Even when I had phases with no acne, my skin still had a bumpy feeling. In close up pictures, my pores looked clogged and nasty. Just not a nice skin texture.
The Regimen has 1. Gotten rid of ALL my spots and 2. Completely smoothed out my skin. It's stupidly good. My skin now looks crystal clear, and I can easily go out without make-up without wanting to tear my face off.
The only down-sider is maybe that my skin was very awkward after a week of using it, but I know that it was only getting used to the Benozyl Peroxide. It actually feels nice going on now.
So...my verdict? Try this stuff, now. I dawdled around this website for two years before trying it, and I wish I'd tried sooner!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I'm 28 yrs old and just recently started to have adult acne. It was starting to effect my self esteem, especially at work. One day while scouring the web for an answer I found your site. It was so honest and sincere I had to give it a shot. I continued the use of my cleanser and lotion and simply ordered your Benzoyl Peroxide Gel. After only a week my skin cleared up! I had a little problem with dryness but once I figured out how to apply the gel and my make up without getting the peroxide near my eyes even the dryness is gone. This stuff is amazing!
If you were a public company I'd buy your stock!

Hi my name is Danny, I am a 32 yr old male that started breaking out at about the age of 26. My lite skin complexion only expounded the problem. I, like many others, secluded myself from going out even to the supermarket. I would get several acne in a certain area of my face and because I would pick at them, you can just imagine the inflammation and scarring which caused the acne to take twice or three times longer to heal. I tried many over the counter products to include holinistic. I also started with RoAccutane, which worsened my situation for the first 4 months and then slowly my acne went away (but not completely) for about 4 months. I did two cycles and then just gave up on the RoAccuntane. My situation was made worse because due to my work, I must shave everyday. Yes, causing irritation and bleeding. So, for awhile I gave up on using any acne products. Until about 3 months ago, I found your website and simply started reading, I followed your regimen and for the first two days I got small pink pimples that healed quickly. I shave with the nuetrogena cleanser and apply BP to the trouble areas. After about 3 weeks, my face was clear, I am not lying. I continue to shave and wash with the nuetrogena cleanser and apply BP during the night only to the trouble areas, even though the trouble areas are clear. My face has never been so clean and clear, I even had a girl tell me that my face was so clear while on a date (she was a bit jealous). One thing that I would like to recommend is that the regimen can be tailored to one's particular needs but always start with the regimen as a base. Another thing is not to STOP your regimen just because your skin clears up, you can lower the amount of medication and applications to suit your needs. I am glad to have found your website and it has given me my self-esteem back.
Thank you...

I would just like to thank Dan and the creators of this website, it contains a large amount of accurate information that I have found very valuable. I recently switched from using ProActiv to the regimen and I am already seeing great results after just a week. ProActiv has worked ok for me for a few years but I just wasn't getting the kind of clear skin I wanted (plus it is REALLY expensive). Since switching I have been using over the counter Neutrogena products and getting results very quickly. I'm glad I tried the Regimen before buying another ridiculously expensive 3 step kit. Thanks again!

It has been a little over a week since I started this regimen. For the past few years I have had bumps on my cheeks. And recently I broke out on my forehead. After a few days my cheeks became VERY dry and irritated, but I continued. Now my cheeks are smooth, only after a week. My cheeks haven't been this smooth in years!! My forehead is not yet clear, but it is looking better. I hope in a few more weeks it too will be clear. Thank you, it actually worked!!!

Dan I am a 24 and have battled acne for quite a few years now. When I was 16 and had beautiful skin I had some lucrative modeling offers, then all hell broke loose when I was 18 and started breaking out. To know that I was a pretty girl under all that redness and pimples was heart breaking. Guys would see me in good lighting when my makeup was done well and they'd say DAMN! but in regular lighting no one checked me out. It was so painful. I always worked out very hard to stay in shape but once you got to my face it was like, pointless because no one wanted to look at my skin up close. I've been on every type of drug and also everything you can order from an infomercial, from Proactiv to Murad......nothing really worked for me until I ran across your website. I am happy to say that in the past 2 weeks my skin has totally cleared up!!! I have a few tiny little scars that I am going to try to work on, but my skin is finally clear, like crystal clear! I see the face I was supposed to have all these years, and although I am sad for the time and precious youth I lost hiding out, I am so happy to have finally found something that WORKS!!! Now makeup is fun for me, not a chore......and just the other night I was around a guy I totally adore and we were face to face and he said I was the most beautiful girl he's ever seen. I almost cried. Had it not been for your website, I would've never had the courage to let someone get so close to me. I feel like I have my life back and I am very excited to live it now, and see what the future holds! Thank you so very much, you'll never know just how much it is appreciated.
