Regimen success stories

I made this part of the site to share the many letters from people who have had great success with the Regimen over the years.

Some people have asked if I ever get letters from people who were unsuccessful. The answer is yes, albeit infrequently, but I find that they are usually not following the Regimen precisely. Once we get them on the Regimen, they will usually clear up nicely.

Success stories with pictures are listed first. Those without pictures are listed second. Success stories are in random order and are shuffled each day at midnight.

“Dear Dan,

I really would like to thank you for all the effort you've put into this website and the production of the amazing BP treatment!! I am 22 and have had mild but persistent acne since I was 13. That's 9 years of bad skin - not fun! Prior to using the regimen, I had found products which gave me false hope but invariably they either stopped working after a while or made me break out even more! As a result I was always buying new products and over the years had spent a fortune on things that did *not* work. I must admit I was at first sceptical when I stumbled across Acne.org and your regimen. However given the price of the products and after reading all the information available on the website, I reckoned it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. I started the regimen in January, 2009 using your BP and over-the-counter cleanser and moisturiser. The results were almost immediate. After about 2 weeks I KNEW it was working and not just a fluke!!! It's now been 4 months and my skin is looking great! I've posted pictures on the forum (with the alias mackoo0524... you have personally commented on them and I'd be more than happy for you to use them) as well to encourage people who are thinking of going on the regimen. I can't even begin to describe how much more confident having clear skin makes me feel... I can now go places without having to pile on a ton of foundation! Everyone close to me has noticed a difference and asked me what I've been doing differently. My sister who's always had perfect skin started breaking out recently and I got her to try the BP and so far it's working really well for her too! I really would recommend this to everyone. Dan thanks again for your hard work and please please please don't ever discontinue the amaaaaaazing BP!!!

Best wishes,”

“Dear Daniel,

I have struggled with acne from my teenage years on. I started going to the dermatologist when I was 14. During that time, I have been on 2 rounds of accutane and various other treatments. My dermatologist eventually told me that I might always have acne. I was so hopeless. I tried everything, literally. After college, I started paying 80 dollars a month for acne facials that did not really work. I have known about your website for a while and found it extremely helpful in rating products. I did not really research the regimen you suggest for reasons I do not know. However, this summer, I ordered several products from your regimen and I have had fantastic results! I have always been told I was a very "good-looking" person when I had make up on. You have no idea how good it feels to be told I have beautiful skin. Oh, wait, you do know how it feels! I am about to order your aha product and I can't wait to get it in the mail!! Thank you so much for letting all of us acne sufferers know about your solution. I thank God for my new skin everyday. This is to anyone who is struggling with their skin- If you are at the end of your rope, try Daniel's regimen! If it worked for me, it can work for anyone!!!”

“I've had acne since I hit puberty and I had an early puberty. Yeah I hit it hard. I had really bad acne and I just hated it. My mother told me it was a phase and I'd get over it. I was so self conscious that I just hated getting my pictures taken and everything. My mom would also make me Chinese remedy to help my acne (didn't work too well), took me to the doctors (the drugs didn't work), many over the counter acne cleanser and what not (went through a lot), I even ordered Proactiv and I thought "Hey, for all skin...maybe it'll work" Just made my skin more irritated and didn't work. I just gave up and somehow I came across this site and said "Well...might as well give it one last try."

I'm a soon to be 19 year old, first year college student and I started January 7th, and so this is my 4th week into it and my skin is CLEAR! For the first time, I took a picture of myself, took it into photoshop, fixed the colour of the picture (since my camera isn't the greatest) and for the FIRST TIME I didn't have to air brush my skin. It looks GREAT! Other than the few scars I already have (which I don't mind) My skin is CLEAR. You MAY get the occasional pimple but they disappear in a flash. The regimen really works and I can say nothing more but THANK YOU DAN! This really boost my confidence and I just feel great with clear skin. ”

“Your video was awesome at showing us how to clean her face. All your no-no's we were doing on a daily basis! Thanks so much for helping us.

After one week, her face is nearly cleared up!”

“Hi Dan,

It's taken me a while to write because I couldn't really believe that my skin, after over ten years of frustration and insecurity about my face, had finally cleared up. My acne was/is the deep, painful cystic kind -- the kind that can make you feel like you are nothing but a face covered in sore spots. I was skeptical that tons of BP would do the trick, since I believed my acne was diet/hormone related. Whatever the cause, though, your suggestions have helped me clear up, and about 6 months later, I'm completely acne free, except for a stray one here or there (but even those are not quite as grisly as they might have been otherwise).

I'm thrilled and relieved, to say the least. I can't believe I've found the answer to what feels like a lifelong battle. I really appreciate your recommendations and website.

Here's my regimen, for anyone interested:

Cetaphil cleanser (the unscented kind) -- I later switched to your cleanser and found it worked just fine too.

Cetaphil moisturizer (unscented)

A few drops of Jojoba oil mixed in with the moisturizer, on my drier days, and especially in the evenings

Your Benzoyl Peroxide -- lots, as recommended. I've scaled the quantity (but never the frequency) back some since my skin's cleared up and that seems to be enough to maintain my clear skin.

I also avoid all products containing fragrance, and switched my makeup to Bare Minerals, which I think helped too. I apply the moisturizer before the BP, but otherwise I pretty much keep to the regimen you've outlined.

I'll also note that I drink tons of water, and eat a vegetarian diet with as much raw fruits and veggies as I can.

Thanks so much, Dan!

Cheers,
Lindsay”

“Dan your site is wonderful!!! Im so glad I was on the internet that day and found it. Ok I thought there was no hope that I wouldnt have nice skin again. I always had 1 or 2 pimples to deal with but after awhile, I really started to breakout. I dealt with it for a few years. Just yesterday I went buy a store and this person said hi to me and that he remembered that the last time he saw me, I had the chicken pox. I said no it wasnt that. It was my awful acne. He said oh ok but I was glad because it shows my skin was clearing up. and last year, I remember going to a Mc Donalds and the lady at the register mumbled to the other woman "Aww poor girl. She looks like she has a really horrible skin problem. Look at her face!" She probably thought I didnt hear her. I felt bad :( I tried covering up with a lot of makeup, but that day I didn't put any at all. I tried so many products. I realized that if I just follow these simple steps that Dan explained, I was really gonna see a change. I wash my face with a simple cleanser that's not harsh (Neutrogena Fragrance-Free face bar) I use a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. And a moisturizer that Dan recommended as well (Oil of Olay for sensitive skin). I realized that I'm not the only one that deals with acne. There are many people that go through this. I saw many commercials and different advertisements, that just seem so fake. With this site I read about many people and there acne problems and solutions. I get to see them as they go through the process step by step. Thank u all for sharing your stories and information that has helped me too. Dan, u made me believe in myself again. Thank u so much!!! I admire and appreciate how u have helped many people out there!!!!!”

“Hi Dan,

I just wanted to thank you for this website, your amazing generosity to not only share your finding, but also make it so easy for everybody to do the same!!

I never had problems with acne as a teenager...then i got pregnant haha and again, and again, and again, and again. After having 5 children, my skin was horrible. I saw a dermatologist who diagnosed me with cystic acne. I ended up having a horrible allergic reaction to the antibiotic he prescribed me, twice! I also burnt my skin to the point of peeling with the strong cream he gave me as well...

My husband found your page. I had lost hope and i told him that it couldnt be this easy after the pain i went thru. haha He ordered the treatment for me because i wouldnt do it... After doing the regimen for about 2 weeks, I started to see less and less acne, but also, my scars were disappearing.

My sister in canada was also having cystic acne. I told her about your regimen and she ordered the kit from your site the same day. she does not speak English, so i had to guide her thru it, and it worked for her and she is SOO happy!!! she is a gorgeous woman... absolutely beautiful, but that acne was destroying that for her.. she felt ugly and unattractive...especially in her field of work! I felt ugly too... feeling that people couldn't see my face because it was covered with red patches. haha

we are both so happy... to have our faces back!! and its an amazing feeling. It took me to be 31 years old to feel pretty again. haha I have more compliment about my looks now than ever, and i know its only because people can see me now... i wish i knew about this regimen in my 20's! i am attaching pictures of us both NO acne !!! i dont have pictures of before simply because i was too embarrassed to take pictures. ”

“Hi Daniel!

My story is simple: I was living inside my head all my life, unable to communicate my inner-most feelings toward my family, I internalized everything and the anger and frustration eventually made it's way onto my face. It was strange to me at first that nowhere else on my body had I broken out. It took me years of over cleansing and depression before I addressed my emotional distress.

I found your website when I was finally ready to simplify my regimen. I found results for the first time in ten years with a mixture of your methods and the confidence I needed to succeed. With a regimen for my skin and a new-found empathetic approach to my life, I've allowed my true self to emerge and I am excited about the world I'm able to meet with eye contact and authenticity.

Thank you for your work Daniel. You've helped me so!

Love and Admiration,
Ashley”

“..i never really enjoyed going out, hanging out with friends, or doing my makeup! i envy my friends everytime they talk about fashions, and latest makeups etc! everything i tried, but nothing seems to work. but thanks to your regimen! in a few days, my face is clearing up! i can't stop looking at the mirror, because i still can't believe how easy it is to remove those nasty blemishes..my face is not that oily anymore. big bumps and redness are being removed by the bp day after day. thanks to you! i owe you a lot! i just included you in my prayers a while ago, and i asked God that he may continue to bless you, coz u definitely deserve it! i'l even recomend this regimen to all of the people i know who have acne. thanks dan!! more power to you!”

“Dude, short note, but you rock!

Your Regimen is incredible. It's been about 2 1/2 weeks and I've gone from worrying about waking up to new pimples, to waking up stoked b/c when I look in the mirror I'm clear.

I've gotten into internet marketing recently and I'll tell you straight up there's a lot of deception going on. Your site avoids all that crap and you are actually helping people not chasing the buck. You're an inspiration.

Thank you.

P.S. I'm a 25 year old male. My acne came back about a year ago after being dormant for 4 solid years. I originally had to use Accutane to get rid of it. Not this time!
