Day 136 Update:
Oh WOW! I am so filled with joy from all the compliments!!! This makes me smile and makes me feel gooey warm inside! I can not thank you all enough for your kind words I am truly humbled.
Thank you fadedjay, geekboy, elsewhere, and AbyBar. You are all the reasons I wanted to start a post.
Anyway to my skin¦I did another peel on Saturday. I think this is my 9th peel. In the 9 weeks I have been doing the peels I have a 70% improvement in acne spots and noticeable difference in the scarring. HUGE difference. I cannot stress enough the benefit of these peels. I am looking into purchasing the 50% glycolic peels in the next coming weeks. I am sticking to about a full pump of BP to stay clear and I am loving it
And thanks again for all your support. I love you all.
Though i don't post often, i'll always read this post when i come to the website. Such awesome improvement! Keep up the good job!
looks like things are going super duper for you and i am glad because you deserve it
them glycolic peels sound like they are really good - i may have to check it out
Agreed with other posters - this story is an inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Hello I replied to all three of you in the above post but forgot to post haha 🙂 my bbbbbad! Love you all!
Day 138 Update:
Helllllllo to all!
I am just coming on to say that my skin is doing relatively awesome and I am going to have an upload picture and soon as I can find some time to do so as I am really busy with school exam and finals to study for.
Also I will need to purchase the 50% glycolic peel soon because now that my face is so used to 40% even if I leave it on longer I am not getting all the peeling I should be so the time is coming to get the stronger peel! I am looking forward to trying it :
Last thing I wanted to say was I know that I do not have acne anymore and my post is getting awfully boring to read now I bet so I have my friend who had been using retin-a for months and she did not find the relief she was hoping for so a little over a month ago we switched over the Dan Kern's Regimen. She is already having wonderful results. Just click on the link below to follow her thread to read to progression through her acne journey on the regimen She also has a wonderfully positive attitude¦wonder where she gets that from
Much love to all on this site.

5 Month Update:
WOW¦it seems like time has just flew by! I am so happy that I have made it this far.
I have to small pimples on my chin form the peels so I am currently waiting for those to subside. I m also hoping to use the 50% glycolic acid peel tomorrow for the first time and I cant wait! I will tell you all about the progress that comes with the peel of course
Anyway, I am still on here all the time haha, so if you have questions just message me!

5 months/2 days Update:
I have just used at home 50% glycolic peel on my face this morning. I started with 2 minutes since this peel is 10% higher concentration that the last peel I have been using. I am really excited to let you all know the results after a few peels!!!!
I also want to use only jojoba oil as a moisturizer a few days after the peels, because I heard using a normal moisturizer noncomodegenic or not can cause breatouts while the new skin is forming, which increases the chances of clogging pores, so I will see where that gets me!!
Since starting these peels about 2 1/2 months ago I have noticed a nearly 80% difference in spots and the texture of my skin, so I am happy for this!!!
Week 24 day 3 Update:
Hello everyone, sorry for the not being here too often. I have been busy with life and things that I need to get done before school begins agin¦.. Skin is really doing wonderful, I also have a new picture uploaded if you would like to look in my gallery
The regimen has saved my confidence and I am truly a new person now. I wish I could meet Dan Kern in person thank give him a huge hug!!!
I hope you are all doing well. The New Year is coming, so I hope you all have a resolution planned. My new years resolution is for the first time not going to be about my skin, but I am going to be trying to work on myself to be a better person.
****Also I am really not liking this new website theme on acne.org, I am like the old one better??!!!
I am so proud of you girl for focusing on you! I know how hard things have been with your skin and your personal life but you still moved forward.
All the best for 2013, good luck in school and may all your dreams come true - you are truly a beautiful soul
AWWWW girl you have just successfully melted my heart:)
I really appreciate your words, you are such a wonderful person do you know that? I am happy to know there are people in this world like you. You are just another angel I have come across 🙂
Week 25 Day 4
So guess what everyone! I got a little bit of bad news recently. I was running out of my BP. so I started using less than one pump until my shipment arrived and I got 5 pimples in two days!! WTF!! I cant believe that crap haha. Thankfully I got my new Bp and have started back at two pumps, which cleared those pimples in about a week. It is so crazy that my skin reacted the way it did.
Well anyway I hope everyones journey is going strong, remember be positive and give everything time.
Week 26 Day 3 Update:
No pimples since switching to two full pumps of BP. THis is just wonderful because I would a a pimple here and there which was annoying when I was using one pump. On Saturday I did my 13th Peel, and my skin is currently is the peeling process. After the peeling impedes I will update another picture so that you can see the continued progress on my face and witness the power the these in home chemical glycolic peel.
Anyway, I hope everyone is well. Much love from me.
thereisalwayshope.
You've made such amazing progress. It's so great to see your results.
Thank You darling, I am glad It makes my day when people tell me these things
Seeing your results makes me wish I had never stopped BP. I was perfectly clear but foolish me still wasn't happy! Strongly considering starting again, because as you say, it had huge impact on my confidence.
Hello SweDan 🙂
Why did you stop using BP? And yes it plays the biggest role in my confidence. I consider myself a good looking person now that my acne is finally gone. What is your situation with your skin at the moment?
Week 26 Day 5 Update:
My skin is dry. Meh. Dry. I know it is because I am using a lot of BP but I hate why its so dry!!! Do not get me wrong I am happy not to have pimples of course, but this is just an annoying symptom of using the regimen. I wonder if there is anything I can do to get rid of the dryness?
***Also me update picture is coming soon
Week 28 Update:
Hello acne.org, very busy with school so I ma sorry I have not been able to come on to update
So for my skin, I have no pimples, and it has been this way for about three weeks ever since using two full pumps of BP. So that would be my advise for someone on the regimen, but it still struggling to stay 100% completely clear at all times!!!
Again, I am sorry for not being on, I will make for of an effort to try!!!
Message me for questions!
love thereisalwayshope
I don't know how quoting works on the phone (on a long trip), but I quit for two reasons, I guess. First, Panoxyl was discontinued. Since I can't import Dan's BP, my only 2.5 BP was removed.Second, I couldn't get my skin used to BP after restarting it in the summer. I burned my face in the sun and after that the problems began. Thus I kooked into green tea again. While it helps a little, it's not enough.Acne seems to appear mainly in the area between the mouth and chin. I get some large spots and sometimes I'm in pain from them. I want to give BP another go when I get home, with a 5% gel. Not optimal, but I have hope. Even if I'll face some problems, it's far better than my current status. I should clear up pretty fast from experience. Might start a log. At least I will update how it goes somehow.

Where do you live that you cannot import Dan's Products? And panoply is of higher concentration, so you might have to wait double the time that if took you to get used to the 2.5% BP or even more. What you mentioned that your face burned in the sun??? Well that is because BP makes you extremely sensitive to the sunlight outside, and so sunscreen with SPF of at least 30 is a absolute must in this case. I would not even dream of leaving the house without it!!!! haha!!! as for the green tea, I used it for a while, however it just is not strong enough to defeat the acne that I had at the time.I am sure if you give the 5% a couple months to get used to the skin and use plenty of moisturizer, and the separate SPF on top of that. You can also purchase Jojoba oil or AHA. If you mix this is with you moisturizer you will see that your skin is not as dry! I use both and love that i makes my skin super soft.
And definitely start a post! You can inspire people and be positive through your journey! I would also recommend updating pictures of your progress like I have, you will be surprised of how great you feel when you do 🙂
Good Luck with everything, and if you have any more questions, you know where to find me!
Week 29 Day 6
I did yet another at home peel with my 50% glycolic, and from the purging process of the peel I have two small pimplesNothing to worry about though..because they go away really fast! My face is looking better and better every week and now I am on track to do another peel two weeks from tomorrow. I am sticking to every three weeks because it takes my skin roughly a week to completely peel the first layer and then i give my skin time to develop the newly formed skin. This is really important to know for people thinking of doing peel, especially when you start with 40-50% peels.
I am so much more confident since starting acne.org and I could not say enough positive things about this site and the products offered by Dan.:)
Love you all,

Apparently it's a gamble to import BP from the US to Sweden, so I'd rather not risk it (imagine running out and have the next order taken by customs). And yeah, I thought SPF15 would be enough, but it wasn't. I will be more careful in the future, lesson learned.
Face isn't looking as bad as I feared, so at the moment I'm considering trying nothing. But I bet something will show up that will change my mind soon, heh. I'll have to work with what's available, simple as that. Gonna see if I can pick up some BP tomorrow, just to get ready for an upcoming disaster. If I do start, I'll probably start a log and take photos (won't show them though - just for the sake of seeing my own progress).
Thanks for the kind words, really gives me hope that this is the way to go for me. It's worked wonderfully before, so there should be no reason why it couldn't again.
I undertsand not taking the risk of imputing the BP, and you said you face is doing well now so I guess you do not have to much to be conceded about. Have you every heard of tee tree oil for your face. I heard it was really good at killign the bacteria that causes acne and I bet could help you in preventing a big breakout sometime in the future, (hopefully you never get one thought:P)
I have used it, but since my acne is very severe it could not do much i to combat it, but since you do not have my case of acne i think you could benefit greatly from using it. You can purchase it form health food places and on the web easily and make sure that it is 100% tree tree oil. Use a cotton ball and rub it all over you face, not in the eyes of course and do that twice a day after you cleanse your face!!!
I have also heard that taking saw palmetto can greatly help you acne. It is a supplement! I am going to purchase the next time I am at the store, I definitely think you should do some research in regards to both of them and see with you would like to give a try to, or you could just do both at the same time
And you are welcome! Message me any time, and left me know how things are going !
