I've been using the acne.org regimen for 1 month now, the first week and second week is pretty good actually, not much sting , redness, itchy...
but when in the third week, my face is super itchy all the time , i cant even sleep well because of itchiness...... really really makes me crazy!
Although it really clear up my skin and my face looks pretty good except redness and little bit flakiness, it just veryyyyyyyy itchy and sting !!!!!
I just bought another 16oz kit, but i really want to stop it.....
I also used jojoba oil and aha+ to help my skin, but still itchy !
I totally can accept the side effect for clearing my acne, but this is insane!
sorry for keep complaining here, i just feel hopeless
should I keep using it......?

Sounds like you are going through a rough time. Dryness and irritation is to be expected during the first few weeks into The Regimen but it eventually goes away. This is particularly noticeable when applying Moisturizer.
First, make sure you are using 2 full pumps of the Acne.org Moisturizer and as much as possible, you do not use any other products in conjunction with the Acne.org Regimen products as it may have a negative effect on your skin.
You may also continue adding 5-6 drops of the Acne.org Jojoba Oil to your Moisturizer for added moisture.
Start slowly by using only a very small pea sized amount of Acne.org Treatment only once per day for a full week. By week two you may start applying the pea sized amount twice a day. In week three you can begin increasing the dose slowly and by the end of week four you should be using the full 4ML dose of Acne.org Treatment. We guarantee you that if you follow these instructions and use only Acne.org products, you will have clear and healthy looking skin.
As for the AHA+, you may start off by mixing 50/50 of the Acne.org Moisturizer and AHA+ during the first few weeks and apply the mixture every night. You may also use the AHA+ at full strength every 2-3 nights.
If there's anything else that we can help you with, please let us know.
Yeah itchy skin is a common complaint in the early weeks but please know that it does go away as your skin gets used to the treatment! Just try to stick it out and muscle through the itchiness, keeping your eye on the prize, which is clear, healthy skin! The uncomfortable redness, dryness, and itching are the biggest reasons people give up on the Regimen, even if it's working!
Hang in there!!
