I have been on the Regimen for i think a little over 5 weeks. I have broken out a couple times through out the process and now I just keep getting annoying little zits. It feels like everyone that goes away another one will appear. It is super annoying and I dont know when I will be able to not have to deal with that anymore because it is really fucking with my head. I follow the regimen like I am suppose to and do a mud mask maybe 3 times a week just to speed up the process. I feel like I should definitely see amazing results on week 5 but I haven't. is this normal?

Hey! I'm on my 3rd week, but I know for a fact that breakouts can happen until 3-4 months, and for some, up to the 6th month. It's really hard (especially for me haha) to deal with this. The media kind of tricks us into thinking that there's a fast way to fix everything, but curing acne forever is a slower process than we might imagine. Honestly, 6 months is pretty miraculous to me, depending on how long you've had acne!

The mental game is hard, but just try not to think about it if you can help it. It's never as bad as you think it is. Stay patient. The mask might be interfering with the Regimen, since there's never a mask included in the cleanse, treat, moisturize routine.

When I was five weeks into the regimen I broke out with a bunch of cysts. It Is normal.

I would advise stopping the mud masks for now because when you say you are following the regimen like you are supposed to, you really aren't if you are adding in extra steps. One of the biggest mistakes people make with the regimen is adding in/or taking out steps too early in the game. Follow and use the products how Dan has said and once you get clear, then you can slowly add in other products. Also, five weeks is definitely too early to tell. Give the regimen a good 3-4 months to work for your skin.

That's good to know that's so fucking long though. Acne such a shitty thing sometime but the mask I use is by ahava and the other one I use is by Kiehls so they are quality skin products I don't know if that makes a difference

If you are using skin masks (regardless of whether they are quality products or not), you are not following the regimen. So if in another few weeks you get frustrated and give up, how will you know if The Regimen would have worked if you didn't add in extra steps?

Right now you skin will be trying its best to adjust to BP, and masks will just be adding further irritation. Follow the steps exactly, be patient and gentle. Good luck!
