So I've been on the regimen for about a month now and I'm not seeing much results? Yes it's making pimples go away over like 2-3 days. But the cleanser dries out my face so I got cetaphil cleanser. And it's working much better now. But I'm still not seeing results here how I'm doing everything:

1: Wet face with hot water to open pores

2: Apply Cleanser let sit for 30 sec

3: Rinse off with cold water

4: pat dry

5: apply treatment

6: let treatment dry

7: Apply moisturizer

8: Let dry

That's how I'm doing it. I do it 2 times a day am I do

 

Am I doing anything wrong? And how long does it take to show signs that it's working?

 

Also I'm vegan and eat healthy and drink around 50-100 Ounces of water a day.

What you are doing seems more or less correct. But keep the cleansing part 10 seconds at most.

I was still breaking out even after a month so just continue with the regimen. It works differently for people, some can clear up in a month, for some it takes 3 months. You just have to give it time. Good luck!

Yes, seems you may be slightly deviating from the actual regimen. As nicmic said, you should only be gently washing for NO MORE than 10 seconds. Actually, the shorter, the better, especially if you're still breaking out. Also, how long are you waiting between applying BP and your moisturizer? It's imperative that you wait the alloted amount of time between washing, BP, and moisturizer. Try taking the acne questionnaire to be sure you aren't deviating from the regimen. http://www.acne.org/personalized-advice.html Good luck and keep us up to date on your progress! :)
