Acne.org Products
Tonight I am going to be starting the acne.org regimen.
I have tried the regimen before, and the only things it gave me were -
1) Red, itchy, dry af skin
2) Deep Hyperpigmentation
3) Discomfort
Although, I do think that when I was using the regimen... I was using it wrong. I used way too much bp the first time, and i think it ruined my chances. I am coming back to it now because I have tried literally everything else- and nothing works. I even tried birth control, and even though that was working for a good week, the side effects were HORRIBLE. Anyways, I think I'm ready to give the regimen another try.
Although I do have a few questions.
1) I go out to the barn, (we have horses) almost everyday, around mid-day. The regimen calls for washing your face twice a day, morning and night. But after I'm done with the horse, I HAVE to shower. I clean stalls, and the dust and manure I know is all over my skin. So how exactly and when, should I wash my face and stuff?
2) Do I have to use the acne.org moisturizer...?? I currently use aveeno's clear complexion moisturizer. Can I keep using that? I just hate the acne.org moisturizer hahahaha.
3) Is there any chance this will make my skin worse and it will never get better. I guess that's really my only fear.

1. Try to space your face washing to at least 10 hours apart. So if you do the regimen at noon after you shower, you can do it at 10pm again before bed. Try to find the best possible time you can do it.
2. You don't have to use the acne.org moisturizer. I use my cerave and cetaphil and love it! As long as your Aveeno doesn't break you out and provides enough moisture and works with the treatment then I don't see a reason why you can't continue using it.
3. Most of the time people use the regimen and experience that there face gets worse before it gets better. So just be aware of the side effects of BP and make sure you are fully prepared to combat those for the first couple of weeks/months.
