Tried quitting The Acne.org regimen

About 6 weeks ago I decided to quit The Regimen (I have been using it for 3 years now). Initially, I had no breakouts for around 1-2 weeks, then had one of the worst breakouts of my life, literally white and blackheads over every inch of my face. I never had acne this bad before starting the regimen. I'm really over having to slather this stuff on 2x a day, but how can I quit when my acne is now twice as bad as when I started? I gave it a month to see if anything would change, but I'm still breaking out like crazy. Do I have to take this stuff for the rest of my life? It almost feels like my skin can no longer survive without it.

I really wish I could go back and never use it in the first place, all I've done is made my skin worse :(

Many people have to deal with Acne for life, and need to find a regime that works best for them since there is no cure for Acne. Unless whatever in your body is causing the Acne stops, you're best sticking to the regime that worked best for you. In hindset, putting this stuff on your face is much better than waking up to a face full of Acne, or taking power drugs that ruin your health.

Also, your Acne is bad now because the regime kept your skin healthy enough to prevent closed comodone and Acne bacteria from building up. Since you have stopped, the bacterisa is growing and your body is not used to it since it's been under control for a few years. Hence its reacting badly. It will probably be awhile before it lessens
, but the Acne will always be there.

It's easier said than done, but I wouldn't let this get to you. Go back on it and enjoy better looking skin. Try going off it again in another 3 years to see if your body has changed and no longer causing Acne.
