Hey Flagg! I don't use the Regimen, but it looks like it's really working for you! Your skin looks beautiful as does your hair! Long hair on guys...incredible 
Nice work on using BP gradually... I think my problem when I did the Regimen was starting too strong with the BP...my skin was so itchy and dry and uncomfortable. Lovely results so far for you, though!! 
AWWWW shhhhhuks
You're making me blush and making me happy lol.
A lot of people do yes, but I never get tires of hearing it.
And you are right, the slower you go the easier it is for your skin to adapt without all the symptoms of redness, dryness, and flakiess. Look at you, you are becoming a pro at this haha. Awesome to see!
haha I'm finally starting to learn the tricks of the Regimen trade 
I'm glad hearing that makes you happy, it's the truth...I'm super happy for you that you're happy with your skin! Lots of happiness in that sentence, lol

Thanks Heidi! You're very kind. 
I've worn my hair long for a few years now and I like the style (plus I can sometimes use it to hide acne my temples, haha. natural camouflage! ) I'm wishing you well with the treatments you're using right now too!
Your skin is looking great! Hopefully I can have the same determination and clear my skin as well.
Appreciate it, bud! We just gotta stay consistent and driven and we'll both be clear soon.
Once you are clear, make sure not to leave this site! You help people with their journey's and it would be awesome if you could continue that !
Oh don't worry I won't be going anywhere! I consider all of you people on here friends because we're all going through the same struggle, it's definitely much easier to deal with acne when you have understanding people that support you.
Day #23:
Little skin update: I got a new pimple on my right cheek, hope it won't be too huge. The one of my temple is still pretty big and active, I hope it dies soon. Those are my only two actives right now, everything else is drying up and dying. Not much else has changed besides that. Worked out tonight so that always relieves stress and clears my head, seems like all I do these days is read and lift weights, lol. I really enjoy doing both though!
Day #24:
Another fairly quiet skin day. Forehead pimple is almost gone, chin pimple is gone...the new one on my cheek is a fair size but it seems to be kinda flat so it might not last long, and the one on my temple continues to be big and ugly but I think it's starting to die. All my life temple pimples have been some of the WORST for me because they get so full of infection, just gross I don't even like to describe it because I'd prefer to spare you guys the details, lol. Otherwise my skin is doing okay. no major redness, no flakes...the usual from me.
chugga chugga choo choo! The Regimen train rolls onward.
See now I would prefer that you would give us all the gory details. Isn't that the only good thing about acne, the gore?
Im sorry to admit that i miss the satisfaction it gave me when squeezing a big pimple. The downside of being clear. Oh, did I just think aloud?
haha well I'm usually a big fan of horror movies but this one I'm dealing with right now is too gory even for me
Haha choo choo! may the light at the end of this tunnel come soon!!
lol seriously! This train ride seems to never end...I wanna get off!
Day #25:
Skin seemed a bit dry tonight, but nothing major in terms of flakiness or anything like that. No new breakouts, and the existing breakouts I have have reduced in swelling and redness quite a bit. The one on my temple is much less red and so is the one on my cheek, been using some AHA to try and kill them quicker. I've been using some AHA on my dark marks too and it seems to be fading them a little! It's a gradual process but I am noticing some fading, so that's good.
Team Regimen vs Acne continues....next up we have a steel cage fight to the death! (let's open some cans of whupass, guys )
Day #26:
Fresh faced after a shave, time for an update. Skin is doing pretty well...the only new breakout I notice is a small one beneath the level of my jawline where it can't even really be seen. My face isn't sporting anything new and all my old stuff is in a healing phase right now. Temple is doing better and my cheek is MUCH better.
Hope you guys had a good day!
Day #27 (4 weeks)
Sup my Regimen buddies, hitting the 4 week mark with this post. Skin is doing pretty well. No new breakouts, no flaking, very minimal redness. All of my old stuff is dying and drying up quickly. OH forgot to add...I do have one little pimple that appeared in the center of my nose, but I'm not surprised or worried about that because I don't apply BP to the center of my nose, the skin of my nose is just too sensitive for it.
Other than that? Smooth sailing. I've been using the AHA on my dark marks and I feel like it's doing a great job of slowly but surely fading some old scars.
In non-skin related news watched the new episode of Game of Thrones tonight and HOLY FUCK...craziest episode yet. If any of you guys are fans of the show you'll know what I'm talking about.
Take care guys!

I haven't watched the latest episode yet and I'm so afraid that I'm going to read something that spoils it for me! Everyone's reactions have been "WHAT THE HELL, GOT!?" So, I can't wait to watch it today! I LOVE the show and the books! So, I sorta know what's going to happen, but....still....
AHA is great, right? I didn't use Dan's stuff, but I still loved that it lightened my marks up. I'm using diluted lemon juice now and I'm having pretty much the same results. 4 week mark for pretty much any successful-seeming regimen usually means better and better skin from now on! 
Yay!
I am curious as to how much Benzoyl Peroxide you use. I have just reached the fourth week of regimen use and am using rough one and a quarter pumps of BP. My skin tends to be somewhat dry/flaky as a result. What do you find is a good amount to use? Also, when do you apply AHA+ to your dark spots?

lol yeah last night after that episode like almost everyone on my Facebook friends list put up a status like "GOT, WTF???" I'm such a huge fan of both the shows and the books, and since you've read them you know what happens already...but I swear the way they depict it in the show is just so incredibly shocking and jarring. I'm literally addicted to that show
AHA is definitely pretty awesome! I started out using it after moisturizing but I didn't notice it doing much because I was applying it after having already applied jojoba oil, so now what I do is apply it about 10 minutes after BP BEFORE moisturizing and I've noticed major results. I think I wasn't getting the full effect because the jojoba kinda sits on your skin and I dunno if the AHA was actually absorbing.
I am curious as to how much Benzoyl Peroxide you use. I have just reached the fourth week of regimen use and am using rough one and a quarter pumps of BP. My skin tends to be somewhat dry/flaky as a result. What do you find is a good amount to use? Also, when do you apply AHA+ to your dark spots?
Right now I use almost a full finger's length of BP. I'm using the tube and not the pump-bottle, so I just measure it out by almost a full finger's length. I think the flakiness is natural for most people, before going on the Regimen I used Epiduo for many years as spot treatment and I think that's part of the reason I don't flake much from the BP. I just get very small amounts of localized dryness like around my temples and sometimes on my chin.
And what I've found works best for me when it comes to the AHA is to spot treat with it about 10 minutes after I apply BP, and then let it absorb for about 10 minutes before moisturizing. I only use the AHA at night too to prevent a ton of over-drying.
Day #28:
Well another one of those days with not a whole lot to report. My skin is doing really well, no new breakouts aside from that one on my nose. Speaking of that one, it turned into a fair-sized whitehead like smack-dab in the center of my nose...soooo not attractive, haha. I ended up popping it since whiteheads rarely scar for me and it's just such an obvious blemish that I wanna speed up the healing process for it the best I can. I make it a point not to pick or pop pimples almost EVER on my face and I'm pretty steadfast about not doing that, but I've read that whiteheads can usually be safely popped so I don't think I'll get any scarring from it.
But all other areas of my face feel really smooth and all the old stuff is fading away so nicely...hope it lasts!
Yes, I just started watching season 2 yesterday!!
I used to watch the Borgias along with this show, I just don't know why I stopped watching them!
I think you're mving slower than me with the BP lol I'm already at full finger's length and have been for the past 2 weeks
Ah good! Lots of fun stuff goes down in Season 2, I swear this show just has epic moments in almost every season, haha. I have been moving a bit slow with the BP but almost up to a full finger's length now, getting there slowly but surely!
Day #29:
Skin update today: No new breakouts at all and the one on my nose is healing nicely. I'm ramping up to almost the full finger's length of BP and I'm getting some extra dryness on my face, but no major flaking or redness yet. My update would be longer if I was experiencing breakouts but luckily so far I haven't gotten much new stuff, so might as well keep it short.
As always, wishing you guys well!
I am s happy for you Regimen brother! You definitely seem to be doing better than us ladies....lol. Keep up the progress - you'll be clear in no time!
Thank you my Regimen sister! lol don't worry we'll all be doing good soon, just gotta keep on truckin
Day #30:
Okay, skin update time. Little bit of redness today but otherwise my skin is doing really well. No new breakouts except for a tiny little thing on my chin that is already dying...and the one on my nose scabbed over and the scab fell off, left a red mark...so hopefully that'll fade soon. AHA continues to be fading the dark marks really well and I'm feeling so optimistic about things right now. Also been talking to a girl for about a month and a half now, lots of flirting and attraction between us, and we made it official a few days ago...so I have a girlfriend now. So things are looking up in that avenue of my life, lol. I'm tired of letting my skin hold me back when it comes to girls, and I'm just gonna start not caring about it anymore and live my life to the fullest. If she doesn't care about my scars why should I be so worried about them?
Anyways, hope everyone had a good day!

Wow, lucky you!! That was me like last week lol then I just recently started breaking out again 
I'm happy that your love life is going great! we all need some lovin' haha
I think we overthink things a lot when truly people that aren't superficial look past things like acne. If she's actually bothered by it then she's not worth it!

I definitely agree on the over thinking things comment, and thanks so much!
Day #31:
Just shaved now time for a skin update. Skin is still doing good, two new tiny whiteheads on my chin but they're soooo small I didn't even know if I should really count them, but I might as well. Otherwise things are looking good and I'm not having any major issues.
Hang tough, Regimen buddies.
