I have started to use Acne.org since June 2011. I followed Dan's regimen religiously everyday, and i have beautiful clear skin for these 5 years. Until recently, a few things happened.
1. I added in new things in my facial routine by using home remedies such ACV diluted with water as toner, baking soda with water as mask and toothpaste as facial cleanser in the morning.
2. I am a person very into sports and exercise. I exercise two times a day. I sweat a lot. Therefore I am physically worn out.
3. I have work and family stress that cause me to lack of sleep.
Therefore, I have breakout this month. I wake up everyday with new pimples on my face. I feel so sad. I stop all the home remedies and follow Dan's regimen strictly again. Some how my skin is still no recovering.
I want to know should I continue Acne.org regimen or my skin has immune with Acne.org products that I should source for other treatments. Please help!
I feel so upset with myself for adding new things in to my regimen cause me into such a bad skin condition. My face now has 8 pimples. 3 big one cystic and blind pimples, they are painful and red. Crying...
I went to get facial treatment and extraction. All pimples were extracted. I am praying hard for no new pimples after this. My face now is recovering from swelling.
Stop with all the other treatments at once. And just stop the facials and extractions. With the regimen we know that Irritation = Acne so it is best to just be very gentle and remember to touch your face as little as possible. Go back to the basics of the regimen and give it time to fix your skin.
Make sure you get your rest and have time to relax. Stress is a big factor for my acne and I find it best do to something that gets rid of it before my skin breaks out.

Thanks a lot for your input. I really appreciate it.
I have back to ACNE.Org regimen now.
My 5 headless pimples have been subsided now after the extraction in my facial. Now leaving my skin with lots of scars.
I hope to see my clear skin once again.

I read from social media that toothpaste can be used as facial cleanser. I used for about 2 to 3 weeks, initially the result is good, my skin is so shineand white like my teeth.
It is started to purge out 3 headless pimples on my chin. Am not sure it is just purging out or breaking out ? Anyway, I have stopped all additional steps back to the very simple 3 steps of Acne.org regimen.
