Hi,

I've been doing the regimen as directed for 3 months and it has been working ok (although not as desired). I still get 3 or 4 pimples here and there but I thought I was improving and close to clearing up for good. But suddenly now I got the worst breakout I've had in about a year, without changing anything in the regimen. If anything I've put more BP. Is this a good sign? Bad sign? Not sure what to think.

Thanks

Hi Tiger4,

Thank you for the information. I'm sorry to hear that you have break outs. Just to clarify, have you made any recent lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, stress etc? It could also affect your skin. However, since you are already 3 months into the Acne.org Regimen products, you may incorporate the Acne.org AHA+. This will give the Acne.org Regimen an extra kick and take your from clear to perfect.

Many people are making common mistakes. Take this questionnaire to be sure you're right on track:

Not uncommon at all for your skin to go through periodic purging, even a few months into the Regimen. But good to check in with yourself and see if you're doing anything different. That's the purpose of the questionnaire, which can provide valuable insight. Glad to hear you're using more BP and not less. Keep using more! At one point my son was using 3 full pumps of BP to get his skin under control. Now he's clear and back down to two. It took him a good 4 months before he finally cleared up, and a good 3+ months before he began to see any results. The guidelines are just that...everyone is different. Some will clear sooner and many will clear much later.

Hope this helps!
