dan's regime didn't do nothing for me either, but Botchla's has brought my acne to a screeching halt. it doesnt do much for red marks though
u might wanna try pure aloe vera for red marks. I've been using it for a little while now and I think its helping a lot. I need to use it for a while longer to be sure though
Yeah, when I was on dans regime my red marks didnt seem to fade and i was self conscious about them when I went out!.. but in the 2 weeks I have been on this regime, put it this way... when i go out now I dont even think about my red marks anymore ... I should add that i am also using Clean and Clear Moisturizer before I go out, so maybe that has sometin to do with it also dunno tho.. but somethin about this regime has helped my red marks!
A Theory that I have for the red marks fading with Botchlas regime is this... On Dans regime you constantly had BP on your face 24/7 and your red marks had No chance to heal because they were covered in BP all day!. With Botchlas regime your skin actually has a chance to heal!, with nothing on it during the day and your skin can actually breathe during the day!! ,if you know what I mean.... Thats just my theory on the subject
Hey Botcha...I'm currently on Dan's regime. Since I started taking all the vitamins and doing Dan's thing, I have definately gotten clearer and I don't break out nearly as much. But my face is so dry after I wash and put the BP on, it's crazy. I can barely open my mouth to eat before I put moisterizer on.
Anyway, my questions:
1. all I really have are red marks (ice picks or enlarged pores, I don't know) from old acne, especially on my cheecks, and a couple cystic like things that haven't come to a head but are decreasing in size. Have you found that your regime clears up cysts and/or fades red marks?
2. I'm really afraid to go a whole day without putting anything on my face. Do you think it'd be alright to use your regime, and then put a small amount of BP cream on afterwards? I don't want to risk having a major breakout after clearing up so much.
Thanks man.

Cool, thanks! I actually posted earlier about C&C Products since I keep reading such great things about them. Anyhow, I only have the foaming face wash, which is working, but I'm not 100% clear, so I'm going to go & buy the cleanser & scrub and try your regimen.
Thanks for posting =D>

yes dude! thats exactly what i've been doing.
do botchla's thing and then apply BP cream or gel on your worst spots and I swear it will make your remaining acne disappear
well.. i could think of the obvious answer which is irritation. if i have a cut and i keep putting chemicals on it that irritate it, it's gonna take longer to heal. have you ever gotten BP into a scratch or an area where the skin has just come off? (like if you pull dead skin/scab off)? holy sh-t that is pain. BP is very irritating stuff.
I try botchla's regimen. Dan's regimen has worked, but I'd say it only cleared me about 50%. I rarely get inflamed pimples anymore (maybe one a week) but it seems that the number of those skin colored bunpas has INCREASED since starting Dan's regimen. Can anyone explain?
I'll try to post my progress or lack thereof.

that's what i've been doing too. a thin layer (a few times a day, if you want) of on-the-spot goes a long way
I've been on this regimen for just over 3 weeks now. At first, I broke out, then by week 2, I was really clear. Unfortunately, things seems to be getting worse. I've gotten some bad pimples that past week or so. I'm really hoping they'll go away, because I'm so sick of looking for new treatments, and this one is so simple. Has anybody else had problems with this regimen, or is it all 100% success?
Hi there,
I'm very conflicted about this regimie as well. On 12/9 I will be starting my second week and though this regimine has not given me new pimples, the ones that I do have are taking an extremely long time to heal. I have a HUGE zit on my right jaw, and a regular one on my nose (which I haven't gotten one there in SO long) I don't know what caused me to break out in the begining of this regimine...I think it was the fact that I was trying too many regimines and only giving it a couple of days. Also, I was using an AHA that I stopped last week.
I must say that this regimine does work if you get tiny bumps on your forehead. I had a shitload and they are all gone...every single one of them..my forehead is 100% clear. If these 2 zits would go away, I would look pretty decent but it is just taking too godamn long...I don't remember it ever taking this long before. I am also getting really dry, so Im thinking of just doing the BP at night.
I don't know...I think I will stick with this until 12/16. If these 2 mufu'n zits are still on me by then, I will go crazy.

yes the answer to this is that they are comedones under the skin. the BP in dan's regimen does nothing at all for this. that is what the SA in my regimen is for. i also had tons of those skin colored bumps before this regimen (with everything i tried). nothing could seem to make them go away.
after about a month on my regimen, they were gone, as well as the blackheads on my nose.
so the answer to your problem is salicylic acid.. a product that actually allows the SA to work without clogging your pores with other crap at the same time... so i would make sure you pick a trusted one *cough* C&C blackhead clearing scrub *cough*
Hey, I just started this regimen last night and I am very excited to see the results! I also bought the Neutrogena On-the-Spot treatment and after I wash my face with the C&C SA and the BP washes I then add the spot treatment. I don't do this in the morning, only before I go to bed. Is it ok for me to use the C&C BP wash and then add more BP with the spot treatment or is that overdoing it?
do you mean to just put the BP on random spots, or to apply a layer of it on your face (ala dan's regimen)?
if you're just putting it on spots you have, yeah that's fine, it won't cause a problem.
if you're applying a layer and leaving that on, i would think that would be too drying/irritating. once you get the regimen in full swing (3-4 weeks) you won't even need to fool with the on the spot treatment, there will be no need.
Botchla, first just wanted to thank you for posting this regimen.
But I have a couple of questions: What was your acne like when you first started, and also how long did it take to start seeing results?
I have tried pretty much everything on my face, with minimal results. I just started your regimen about a week and a half ago, I like it, but I still get breakouts. I will continue with the regimen, but just wanted to know what you experienced. thanks...
hey shyguy.. uhm.. before i started this i had pretty persistent acne. that is, i always had active stuff coming up. i will admit it was not that bad compared to some people. i think on average i would have about 8-10 spots at any given time. i guess that would be considered mild? they were always the ones that get red and inflammed and are really noticable. (although i never got cystic acne)
unfortunately i don't remember "the first days" of going on this regimen because it's been so long. it SEEMS to me like i still had some random breakouts for 2-3 weeks? about 1 month on it, i started really getting clear. i think at about the 1 month point i knew i was onto something with this regimen. by 2 months i was pretty much completely clear, i'd have have maybe 1 come up each week. from month 3+ i have been completely clear.
i will have to note that i didn't get to "the end phase" of this until 3 months probably. by that time, all of the old crap that was in my skin had come out and since i'd been using this, the skin has been clean and clear (no pun intended) since.
the most persistent problem i faced after the main inflammed ones were gone, was blackheads on the nose, and those tiny skin colored bumps along my temples and forehead. these were rarely a problem unless i messed with them and tried to squeeze them (in order to purge all the crap out quicker). i noticed if i messed with them they would turn into something 50% of the time or so.
so after 3 months or so, those bumps are completely gone and the pores on my nose are no longer visible. but those were the last to go, definitely.
stick with it and i hope you get good results.
are you still breaking out at your normal rate, or has it slowed some?
I am at about the point Botchla was describing with the blackheads. I've been clear for months but those damn blackheads on my nose won't go away. I;m sceptical on going on the regimen cause the BP wash seems drying and my skin is dry enough. But OOO if i could only get rid of those blackheads I'd be clear and can cut down on my extremely complicated regimen. (which consists of B5, tetracyclin, phisoderm SA and BP cream).
Lala, I had a bunch of teeny little blackheads on my nose as well, and after using C&C's blackhead scrub I can honestly say there has been a good deal of improvement. The blackheads aren't.. black anymore (although they weren't really noticable to begin with), and they look to be a lot shallower.
I've had great results with these two products. I say give 'em a try if you're not satisifed with what you're using now.
Well, I went out & bought the 2 products and used them for the first time tonight. I can say that my skin does feel a whole lot smoother, but it usually does after it's been exfoliated. I'm hoping this works, especially on my nose area where I have those small blackheads. I'll keep y'all posted!! [-o<
