yep you can leave it on all night, your skin might dry alittle without the use of teh herbal logix afterwards! Also if u dont mind the smell, keep it on all day....DONT saturate your face with it though, just a thin layer is fine....too much will not speed up ur results!!!
I found if I use alittle bit of the water/acv on my face then ALOT I got better results!
k3n1 said:To Sierra....im in sydney too, do you know where i can get those Herbal Logix??Some questions for you:
1. I am in Sydney, I could only find C&C 5%BP and C&C blackhead clearing cleanser, do u think this is okay? Botchla's regime said must use 10%BP and C&C blackhead clearing "scrub" instead of "cleanser", but i couldnt find the scrub here.
2. This is my first day on Botchla's, do u use the herbal logix after the 2 C&C's wash? how often do u apply herbal logix on ur face?
3. I've got big bottle ACV from woolworths, should i pour half of ACV and mix it wth water in another bottle and use cotton to apply on my face?
4. While using Herbal Logix, is that okay to use the ACV as well?
hope u or anyone can help wth my questions
cheer..
Hi k3n1
In answer to question 1, I have been using the 5% wash and the blackhead scrub (keep looking, its in most chemists and major stores) im in week four now with this BP routine but week three of using both products. My skin is very clear now except for one small isolated area on my left cheek which is still breaking out daily - Im expecting this to subside just as the rest of the acne has. I think its better to use 5% wash instead of the 10% because it does the same thing but its just less drying.
I also bought the benzac 2.5% cream which i apply whenever i feel like it - particularly after a huge night out when im paranoid of a morning after breakout - just for extra backup over the cleanser
I havent looked into getting the Herbal Logix...let me know if and where u may find it.
Id just like to thank botchla for sharing his very simple, very cheap routine. Who would have thought that something off the shelf could work after all i have been through- i had been convinced it was all junk after trying every single method imaginable to fix this problem -even $$ smoothbeam. The answer has been rather simple - stick to a lighter dose of BP- *just stick with it* !
Right now i am on the road to 95% happiness with my skin (the permanent scarring of 10 years of constant acne hell takes away 5%) My 27th bday is this weekend - I am so relieved to have cleared most of everything up in time!
Thankyou again,
Happy Relieved Sierra
I am trying your regimen, botchla and so far it's not really causing me to breakout. I would say it's okay since I just started using it 2 days ago, and today is my third day.
I have a few questions about your regimen, I have oily skin so should I use both products in the morning instead of only at night?
Second question is, how much of each do I put on my face. I'm put on toothpaste sized stuff and spread that on my face but it's so thin and don't know if it's the correct way.
My pimples on both sides of my nose are really big and are dark red/pink in color and they don't seem to be getting smaller or anything. These zits are about a week old. About how long will I start to see results, if any?
I just read about jade80's regimen that includes the Herbal Logix and I was wondering if that would work for me? I heard that it clears away scars and marks in a few days to a week. I have a lot of red bumps on my upper lip and I hope this will work for me. I don't know though, since I have oily skin almost all of the time so I still hope it applies to me. Does this Herbal Logix help get rid of big existing zits as well and how well does it work with the C&C regimen?
I've been doing this regimen for 5 days, doing only the continious control acne cleanser every OTHER night (and for like 10sec). Still my skin is BURNING and I have been breaking out everywhere. I understand the breakout is normal for the first couple of weeks, but what about the burning and the irrritaion? Doesn't that aggrivate the skin causing it to break out more? Please help, I really want clear skin.
Week 6, Day 3...
First let me start off by saying that my life really sucks! It's been 6 weeks and i still don't have clear skin! GOD I HATE MY LIFE!!! I only go acne free for about a day! then when that day is over the next day i get more acne! than it clears up than i'm clear for a day than i get another one and it takes for ever to go away! What am i doing wrong!?!?! I follow Botchla's directions! i stoped doing in the morning cause it's getting colder now and it's drying my skin so i just use it at nite. What should i do! I don't wanna stop using it, i don't wanna give up on this regimen i don't kno what i'll do if this doesn't work! Someone help me! Jade help me out ur so lucky ur now acne free! WHY ME!!! LORD WHY MEEEEEEEEEEEEEeE!
Thanks jade.
Actually my skin feels alot better today. I am surprised at the speed in which it recovered from dryness.
I wondered about this Herbal Logix spot, scar & blemish cream. I wondered exactly how long it will take for a new spot to fade and also for an old one. 1week? 10 days. It probably varies with everyone. I suppose I decided to wait since it looks like since yesterday some are already fading. Maybe it's the glycolic wash I am using. I heard that helps with the spots. I'll have to wait and see.
acne ruins....are u taking a multi vitamin plus 50 mg a day..thats what im doing and that helps big time...that along with my regimen is probably why I got results so quickly, again today im 100% free, so far so good...I have been on vitamins and zinc now for a few months....with the zinc I took it everyday for like two weeks then every other day cause sometimes it dries out my lips and I can feel my hair start to get alittle dry..try that along with the products u are using for two weeks ok?
Week 6 Day 5...
All i wanna say is thank you acne... BECAUSE OF YOU I DIDN"T GO TO SCHOOL TODAY! BECAUSE OF YOU I"M PROBABLY GONNA FAIL! THANKS A LOT! I don't even know what to do anymore! everyday about 5 pimples arise on my face overnite! Why is everyone else who tries this 100% clear! Why can't i be a lucky one! WHY LORD WHY!!! Why doesn't this work damn it!
AcneRuins, listen up. Try this out, its working terrificly for me. Do the BP wash twice a day with warm water. Do the SA scrub once every 2 days. You really ought to be taking a multivitamin and zinc 50mg tablet once per day. Instead of using a moisturizer use Fruit of the Earth: Aloe Vera Gel (also works great as a shaving gel). I can't wipe your ass and powder your bottom. I know where you are in life. I used to skip school and eventually stopped going altogether. Let me tell you where that got me: ..... nowhere. I don't sympathize with you, I empathize. You know better. Just toy around with regimens and tailor it to your skin but accept the fact that you may never find a cure until you grow out of it. That is your reality. It's easy to get caught up with self-consciousness and despair and all that bullshit but just zoom way way out of your body and see the big picture.
Ive been using Retin-A-Micro for the past 12 weeks and it didnt work. I used it and cetaphil. Ive been reading ur regimen and im not sure if it will work for me. I play sports after school so i get sweaty, so i hav to wash my face. It usually becomes kinda dry, not really, after i wash it. Im afraid that if i wash my face after practice (just water) it will be too dry at night, thus creating more acne and never really getting clear. Do you think its worth it to test my skin or not?
Hey Botchla--did you know that the Continuous Ccontrol has mineral oil in it?--just wondered--I always look for oil free. I think that I'm going to try yur method though--I'll let you know.

Lmao, to funny but you know (he or she) is right, (AcneRuin) You claim to have 5 pimples on your face every day. most of us have it on our face,neck,arms,chest and back, And had it for years. Hey if you want to trade your 5 lousy pimples for a whole body coverd in them sure anyday.
Get a Benzoly Peroxide Wash, Wash 2 times a day. You will see results for 5 little pimples in no time. If it doesnt work use Salylic Acid.. If not use both as pitymeplease has told you.. and you say..
Quoteso what r u saying pitymeplease? Your acne free?!!?!?!? Tell me your secrets!!!!
he just told you.

5 NEW pimples everyday, not just 5.
I'm very interested in trying Botchla's regimen because it sounds FAST. I'm sooooo sick of the amount of time it takes me to do Dan's regimen every morning and night, even though it has really cleared me up. I'm in a band, and it seems that when we're out on the road it's VERY difficult for me to find the amount of time it takes to wash, wait, apply bp, wait, apply moisturizer, etc., and if I miss a day I start to break out.
Anyhow, I'm wondering if I switch over, and I'm presently clear, if I should expect a breakout initially or if I will probably stay clear? Anyone tried this?
Another thing.. I am currently using the tape method and ACV method for exfoliation, which have been working great. How should I incorporate these two methods into this regimen?
Thanks!
