So happy for you! You have such a beautiful personality inside and out. Keep on sharing the positivity....a lot of people benefit from it whether they use the regimen or not.
I will thank you for you words 
They always always make me feel wonderful!
Day 44 Update:
WOW! Everyone today is my active pimple count and let me tell you I only have 6 actives left! I had 12 last week and about 60 when I started so the improvment in 44 days in truly incredible to me. I have also started using AHA at night for the past two days and mixing it half and half with my moisturizer to avoid dryness and my face has never been this smooth!
I am so happy! Everything is going wonderful for me, and now I have started using a fade cream that I have made that fades spots in about a month! No joke! I wil post the directions to make it very soon.
Everyone stay with you own regimen. You have to believe in it and yourself for anything to work and if you are struggling ask someone for help. The worst thing to do is start taking it out on yourself.
**********Here is my continued week by week progress!!! I almost forgot lol!
Before The Regimen: 50+ actives.
Week 1: Mild, noticeably improvement, but still breaking out. Dry, flaky, tight, red. (Half a finger of BP) (Scale of 1-10: 9!)(10 being the worst)
Week 2: No improvement, BIG BREAKOUT! My face became worse than week 1. All pimples were huge and raised high above the skin. BIG breakouts that brought deep and big pimples and numerous cysts. Dry, flaky, RED. (Full amount of BP) (Scale: 10!)
Week 3: Slight, slight improvement. Skin is flatter. Still breaking out a lot maybe 5-6 every morning. This week the pimples are smaller but I was still getting some cysts. No longer dry, flaky, or red. (Full amount form now on) (Scale 7.5-8!)
Week 4: BIG, BIG, BREAKOUT! Probably around 10-15 bloody actives came overnight. This breakout affected my whole face. Cysts, and all. Face began to swell and became painful to sleep. Breaking out continually every day with 1-5. Not a pretty week. (Scale 9-9.5) (35 actives)
Week 5: AWESOME AWESOME improvement!!!!!!! Recovered from last weeks breakouts. This was the first week where I could see WAY more good than bad. This shows you just have to stick it out because till now there has been very minimal results. Got a few pimples this whole week! I broke out anywhere from 0-2 actives everyday this week. (Scale 4)
Week 6: Another week of great improvement! All week I probably got about 3 pimples! Spots are fading, skin is super super duper smooth. Introduced AHA and my face could not be any better at this point. (6 actives)
You'll be a great inspiration for everyone else on the regime, I would love for people to post links to your post so that they could read what you g through daily as well. Your topic is awesome!! It's great that you're posting so consistently, pretty soon you'll be completely clear
! Keep on updating, lol you're posts are like a beacon of hope for all of us!
Well I know people need some sort of consistancy to read posts haha. I am glad that you like it. I am just trying to help a few people get through the hardest part of being on pretty much any regimen. It is always a struggle at first, but the end results are the real prize! Stick with it!:)
Good for you!! I am so proud that you are sticking to this thing so religiously!!
Thank you so much! Honestly, I got much stronger after reading your page. You are the true inspiration. I could not have done this the way I did without you 😀
Day 45 Update:
So an upate is in order! Yesterday I stayed home adn was being lazy so I unconciously started to pick and touch my skin!!! AH!!! What was I thinking? So about 4 hours later I got a gift for my actions :/ I broke out in about 3 actives haha. I dont know if it was completely my fault picking and touching my skin, however it is never a good idea to touch your skin! SO please dont!

Right cheek: 1-2 Pimples

I hope by tomorrow they will have disapeared, or at least flattened haha. I am not going to go insane because of this. How can I? 😀
I hope everyone is continuing the journey to clear skin! There is no such thinking when you come on to my post! OKAY!!!! When you stay positive, love your skin, and love yourself absolutely anything is possible 🙂

Hi, Ive just registered today but Ive been on these boards for about a year now... Ive been following your log and been happy to hear about your success thus far. I've been on the regimen for about a little over a month and I'm having good results as well. I may have one bit of advice for you I think I remember reading that you just have begun experimenting with the AHA within the last couple days that may have something to do with the latest few pimples that you had pop up these last couple days? I don't know for sure but there may be something in there not agreeing with you.. just a thought? I hope you keep seeing great results and I will be following along with you!
Yeah in another topic this person said that they started using AHA and their acne started getting worse, so I guess it can break some people out?

Well thank you guys for replying! They thank you for your concerns and trying to help me. I means so much to me.
I do not think it is the AHA at all actually. I use the AHA as spot treatment and it has kept my pimpes from getting bigger and I believe in it 100%. Nothing has ever done this for me. If a pimpes decides it will pop up then nothing will spot it form happening, however AHA has found a way to do this amazingly. It is an exfoliator, and so to some it also could cause an addition purge because it is doing its job of taking the first layers of skin off your face if used all over. As soon as I feel a pimples coming up, I immmedietly use the AHA on them and the next day it is either gone or has not grown anymore. The stuff works amazing on my skin.
The breakouts that I have been getting are still consistent. I am getting 2 pimples every few days and I have been for about 2-6 weeks now so it isnt something completely new to me, and that is why I do not like to freak out about them haha 🙂 I know once I get passed another month my breakouts will become less and less frequent.
But AGAIN thank you for your concerns! It is great!
Day 48 Update!
Face is doing great and the pimples that I got yesterday are literally nowhere to be found when I woke up this morning to check! YAY!
Scars are still fading, thank goodness. Face is smooth, very very little active spots are left!
Forehead: 0
Temples: 0
Chin: 0
Right Cheek: Approx 2
Left Cheek: 2
SPOTS: STILL A LOT BUT THEY ARE FADING FAST!
Picture: Coming very very soon 😉
Stay with it everyone! I have had acne since high school and have had severe acne for the past two years straight with no breaks. I was a destroyed woman. For the first time I feel like I have more control of my acne than it does on me. It is truly an amazing feeling. I urge everyone to stick with it. Stick with whatever regimen you are on. If you do not give it time you acne will win once again, and that isn't an option for me. SO please stay with it. And believe in it 🙂
love

You look so much better! Keep updating us, are you using AHA just as a spot treatment or is it effective in getting rid of red marks as well? I tried using 100% organic aloe vera to fade away red marks faster and it did help, however it made me break out a little at the same time lol. I hear manuka honey is also good for getting rid of red spots, but I guess you would have to wait at least a few more months before trying something like that.

Now I am using it all over and it is fading the spots because it is an exfoliator, but for some there is an initial breakout for 2 weeks. I am using a homemade brown spot fader and in two weeks I am having wonderful results!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is my recipe to fade you acne spots and lighten up your skin!!!!!!!
So I get a small container to put the ingredients in and mix in the following amounts.
2-3 Tablespoons of moisturizer (whatever moisturizer you use at night will work)
1 1/2Teaspoons of honey (manuka honey works great)! (Natural skin brightener, and humectant to seal in moisture)
20-30 Drops of 100% Essential Lavender Oil (Increases skin cell turn over and helps with reduce scaring)
20-30 Drops of 100% Essential Lemon Oil (natural brightener)
10Drops of Jojoba oil (optional, this is just for more moisture if you need it)
And for an even bigger boost, apply some fresh lemon juice on your face with the homemade fade cream. YOU DO NOT WANT TO MIX IT INTO THE FADE CREAM BECAUSE THE LEMON JUICE WILL SPOIL! SO ALWAYS USE IT FRESH! You need just enough to cover your face in a thin layer ( about 10 drops).
Put all this in that container and shake very well. Use everynight. You can use this as your sole moisturizer at night or use it on top of your moisturizer.
Use this religously every night. If you are staying home go ahead and using it the day. The reason I dont is because it can look shiny because of the honey so I just stick to the night, and I still have wonderful results!
***the smell can be a little strong but it is tollerable.
This has been really affective for me. My spots are dark purple and now just two short weeks later I have a HUGE difference.

Hello everyone. I am going through a very sad breakup so don't be upset if I dont get the chance to update or answer to everyone in a timely manner. :'(
I start week 8 today.
Hey! Just wanted to send a hug your way. Breakups are hard but sometimes what's around the corner is bigger and better. You're doing well in school, your skin is clearing up, you have a lot of positive things to look forward to.
It will get better - one day at a time

Thank you so much 🙂 I feel so terrible that this had to happen. I am going to try and look forward but it feel very much impossible now.
Thank you #sasch83 If I feel the urge to i will
Hello everyone. Here is the week by week progress. I wish I was able to be more positive, but I am feeling so depleted because of some personal things going on.
Before The Regimen: 50+ actives.
Week 1: Mild, noticeably improvement, but still breaking out. Dry, flaky, tight, red. (Half a finger of BP) (Scale of 1-10: 9!)(10 being the worst)
Week 2: No improvement, BIG BREAKOUT! My face became worse than week 1. All pimples were huge and raised high above the skin. BIG breakouts that brought deep and big pimples and numerous cysts. Dry, flaky, RED. (Full amount of BP) (Scale: 10!)
Week 3: Slight, slight improvement. Skin is flatter. Still breaking out a lot maybe 5-6 every morning. This week the pimples are smaller but I was still getting some cysts. No longer dry, flaky, or red. (Full amount form now on) (Scale 7.5-8!)
Week 4: BIG, BIG, BREAKOUT! Probably around 10-15 bloody actives came overnight. This breakout affected my whole face. Cysts, and all. Face began to swell and became painful to sleep. Breaking out continually every day with 1-5. Not a pretty week. (Scale 9-9.5) (35 actives)
Week 5: AWESOME AWESOME improvement!!!!!!! Recovered from last weeks breakouts. This was the first week where I could see WAY more good than bad. This shows you just have to stick it out because till now there has been very minimal results. Got a few pimples this whole week! I broke out anywhere from 0-2 actives everyday this week. (Scale 4)
Week 6: Another week of great improvement! All week I probably got about 3 pimples! Spots are fading, skin is super super duper smooth. Introduced AHA and my face could not be any better at this point. (6 actives)
Week 7: This was a stressful week on my part so I blame my progress completely on this. Spots are still fading. I have about 8-9 actives right now. I am going to try and stay a little more positive so my results stay good. (8-9 actives)
Thank you everyone for helping me out
Day 52 Update:
Well I do not know whether it is because I have been under a lot stress or it is just a part of the regimen but I have about 12 active pimples now. I am really going to try and keep my head up, even when it seems very much impossible. I will keep trucking
love thereisalwayshope
Day 56 Update: I am pretty much doing the same as last week everyone! I am almost at the two month mark, and I have complete faith that by month three I will have awesome improvement with hardly any actives left! The hard part is the wait at this point haha.
Stay strong and you will reap your desired results!
