I wanted to write this post to warn all users about the new moisturizer from acne.org, which has switched from containing licochalconean ingredient that is absolutely beneficial for acne-prone skinto niacinamide.

I have been using the acne.org regimen since 2011, and I have NEVER experienced any issues.

I have already spoken personally with Dan on the phone to explain what happened.

After two months, here is all the information you need to know:

• At first, I thought the problem was the new BP, with its smaller particles, because my skin became incredibly oily after using the regimenunbearably oily. Previously, my skin was always perfectly dry after the regimen.

• After a few days, problems started: every day, I would get 5 to 10 new persistent whiteheads.

• After a few more days, terrible breakouts began. It felt like I was back to ten years ago, before starting the regimen. The BP had absolutely no effect against what was happening.

• After a lot of trial and error, I realized that the problem was NOT the new BP, but rather the niacinamide in the new moisturizer. This is a TRANSFORMATIVE ingredient that triggers internal reactions within the skin. Without delving into the scientific details (a quick search is enough), niacinamide alters sebum production by changing internal skin processes.
  In contrast, ingredients like licochalcone do not have this effectthey are simply anti-inflammatory.

• The transformative effects of niacinamide last at least 48 weeks, so it took me two months to normalize my skin by switching to other moisturizers but continuing to use the acne.org BP. I even had to add a 5% strength BP to mitigate the initial devastating effects of niacinamide.

• Niacinamide can cause these issues even in people who have never had acne beforeit must be tested individually.

• I strongly advise against niacinamide for anyone with acne issues, despite the current global pro-niacinamide trend that describes it as a miracle ingredient (most likely because its inexpensive for manufacturers).

• As I told Dan, I will never purchase an acne.org product again as long as it contains niacinamide.

I hope my testimony is helpful to all users worldwide who are struggling with this issue.
