No man im on week 4 to and im having the same problems your having. Ive dug through most of these forums and the concesus is that you dont see true results till around 2 months or 8 weeks. Lets just tough it out and keep consistent with the regimen.

skin doesn't get used to BP, so it's not getting too "familiar" to the regimen. it's not something your skin builds a resistance to. you're only a month in, you're not really projected for no new pimples yet.

what to expect

i advise you to look at the section of "moderate acne." as you can see, breakouts are still expected.

The time to give it to work is typically 3-4 months.

Hang in there! Many people get frustrated and want to give up at the point where you are. The longer you stick with it, exactly as Dan says to, the better the results.

Let's be sure you are doing everything correctly. Please read through the biggest mistakes. http://www.acne.org/biggestmistakes.html

The first few months can definitely feel like a roller coaster ride, but it does get better for most people by around month 3. Try to hang in there if you can.

You don't understand that skin doesn't get used to the BP. And give the regimen 2-3 months t work depending on the severity of your acne.

It took me a month to completely clear up.

I experienced a breakout around week 4-5, as have many people on here. Don't hold the "What to Expect" page to be exactly what your experience will be like; I found that mine didn't really follow that. I've been on the Regimen about 4 months and I have 0 acne, 0 clogged pores, and almost 0 red marks, and it's still unbelievable to me that I can say that. 4 weeks is not enough time to go out there saying the Regimen doesn't work.

Also, the REASON why your skin cannot get "used" to the BP and build up a resistance is because BP is an oxidizing agent, not an antibiotic. What that means is that all BP does is create an environment where the bacteria cannot thrive rather than straight up killing the bacteria themselves. If it were to do the latter the strong bacteria that don't die from the antibiotic's mechanisms would begin to multiply, and VOILA! Resistant bacteria. But again, since BP isn't an antibiotic you will never have this problem; if BP works to clear up your skin at one point in your life, it should always work.

im on third month, my skin is breaking out worse than ever!

But i have been using it for 8 months now with the AHA and i still breakout and my scars r not getting any better

I have ben using acne. Org for over 8 months now and i still occasionally break out and my scars are just adding up... I use AHA after 4 months of normal acne.org, althougj acne goes away, it leaves a red mark and they just stack up... My face is full of hype pigmentation and dark spots

People whose have acne that is not cleared by standard acne treatments or whose acne is getting worse when they use treatments for ordinaryacne, ie, the people posting on this thread, usually have fungal acne not ordinary acne.

Fungal acne is caused by taking antibiotics and some other meds, possibly including accutane.

If your acne is not getting better (or is getting worse) with treatments for ordinary acne, then you are 90% likely to have fungal acne, not ordinary acne (alternatively, you could have acne symptoms caused by demodex mites or by gram negative bacteria - the latter is caused by taking the "cycline" antibiotics - but fungal acne is the most likely).

If people on this thread get back to me with answers to the following questions, I can provide information about how to control fungal acne (and demodex mites, and gram negative acne if required).

Have you taken antibiotics, accutane, birth control pills or steroids ? If you have taken antibiotics, which antibiotics have you taken ? Do you have one or more of the following - dandruff, seborhheic dermatitis, itchy skin, red rashes, toenail fungus, sinus problems, gut problems, a white coating on your tongue, unexplained tiredness or headaches or "brain fog".

Doctors never diagnose fungal acne - they are "in denial" about its existence in otherwise healthy people.

The treatment for fungal acne is safe and cheap - aplying topical antifungal creams (which are totally safe), using anti-dandruff shampoo, and keeping the areas with acne very dry - no organic oils or moisturisers (fungus loves moisture and one type of fungus that causes fungal acne feeds on organic oils).

I am happy to hear back from people, so I can provide more targeted information for people whose acne is not being controlled ordinary acne treatments.
