Hello all, I use to lurk this site quite often when I had severe acne, I havent been on it for several years now. My account name was acnevsme but lost my password and was not able to log on it( if the mods can help me restore my account thatd be great. Anyways I am close to 12 years on the regimen, and I thought itd be a great idea to come share my years ofexperience with all of you, so for any of you just starting, ask me any questions Id love to share all my ups and downs with the regimen( Im still currently on it, ) anyways ask away guys !
Hello, welcome back. I have been on the regimen close to 5 years now. Wow time flies.
Anyhow, 12 years is a long time, hopefully you are doing fine!
My questions would be:
- After all these years, what are the pros and cons with the regimen that you have discovered and come to realize?
- Is there anything you know now about the regimen that you would have done differently when you first started, 12 years ago?
I have endless amount of questions, lets see I might DM you here on the forums.
Thanks! 
I use the regimen by the book, I think Ive been on it for almost 3 years. Including wearing makeup 3-4 days a week and being very diligent to keep my supplies/tools ultra-clean. I am clear 95% of the time, but I find that if something touches my face(ex. My sunglasses that I keep in my car) I will get a blemish directly where they made contact with my skin. I understand I can disinfect these things but doesnt that feel extreme? Can my skin really not fight these contaminants with 2x daily regimen and AHA?
Thanks for the help

Definitely does seem extreme. Skin shouldn't react like this. Have you thought about getting of the regimen at all?
