Hello Victoria, I had severe cystic acne. I had between 20-30 pimples on my face with at least 3 cysts. It was the most embarassing and depressing part of my life. I would breakout when I was in high school but nothing like that. My doctor wanted to put me on accutane and other medication but i refused because I heard of the many side affects of it. I was at my lowest and had no more hope when i came across a video on youtube about someone using the regimen. I started doing some research and honestly thought that why not try something that may not work. I had trued everything else, what was one more thing. After reading the many success stories on this website I needed to try it. Ordering the regimen was the second best thing I have done in my life, first was my wedding day. Even then I had bad acne and wish I would have known about the regimen, I would have felt better about myself and proably looked better in the pictures. So I have been on the regimen for 3 months and all of my cystic acne is gone. I still get some pimples mostly during my cycle but nothing nealry as bad as it was. If you want to see my journey with the regimen you can see some videos at my youtube channel luvlylori85. I really hope this helps you. Cystic acne is the worst and hurts so bad.
