bfg-- lmao about the glass! i did put the edge on the cyst - hurt so bad. too funny. i'll try the right way tomorrow. can't risk it tonight as i have a function this evening and somewhere to go in the a.m. and i don't want to end up red and splotchy. when do i do the cyst trick-- after i do the reg? before? during the day?
john-- it definitely could be old cysts coming to the surface. how much longer did this phase last for you? if i'm on day 15 please tell me how soon the light at the end of the tunnel might be here.
i'm going to keep on doing this reg, at least another 2 weeks. hopefully by then we'll see some improvement. thanks again to everyone for the input and support.

I would wait until this round of cystic acne breaks then see how things go.
i'll be frank. the thing with benzoyl peroxide, in my experience, is that periodic usage of benzoyl peroxide is worse than not using it at all. That is, using benzoyl peroxide on an inconsistent basis is the worse thing you can do for your skin. I read on a web site that the bacteria will grow at full force if you miss a washing. letsplay, i really encourage you to find time to do it twice a day. and if it still doesn't work, then i don't know waht to say, and that you should perhaps try something else.

Just wake up a few minutes earlier go do the reg. and then be on your way. Its what I do every morning. Its not like it takes that long.
Hello, I'm new to this website. I came across this post and went through every page. It seems like there have been many people who have started this regimine and have been seeing possitve results but, of course I'm still a little scared to start it. haha I just went out and bought all the supplies you recominded. I'm not possitive I got the right stuff though,I'm gonna list what I got...
1. Oxy daily wash 10% BP
2. Oxy bar soap extreme alpine scent
3.Metamucil capsules with 100% natural psyillium fiber
I did see some alpine scent body wash...
anyway, I also got some Oxy face scrub 2% salicylic acid that came with a small bottle of Oxy lotion 10%BP...I wanted to know if I could use that somehow in this regimine, If not, I'll just try to return them.
So, please let me know if I got the right products before I start...I also had some more questions, I wanted to know if you'd mind me sending you a private message. (sorry, I can't think of your name right now!) If not, please message me. thanks so much!

I believe items one, two, and three are correct. Although I'm sure Bfg will tell you that the other items you picked up are not necessary.
Is the use of rags really essential, or could you just wash off the BP after the 10-15 minute period?I'm on Accutane at the moment, but I'm going to be looking for a maintenance regimen once I'm off it in 3 months, and this sounds quite promising.
You will find the answer to that question a few post up. I dont want to have to keep repeating myself.

Make sure its oxy chill factor. the rest are correct. As for the other stuff you got. face scrub etc. Return the other stuff. You dont need it and if you do use it you fall outside of my reg and I cannot assure you of the results. Folks Please do not add onto my reg. It is setup in a balance way for it to work. Adding moist. to it is about as far as I will go with adding onto it. Thats only in the case of people having super dry skin from it.
ah, the person before you said he thought they were all right and I know you said chill factor but, I figured it would be okay. I can't return it now since I used it last night and this morning. OOPS! Hopefully, It'll do the trick. I didn't mean to go outside the regimen, It was an accident and I'll return the other stuff. So, this is my first day...I really hope this works for me! I'll be checkin' in to let you know how it's going. and I'm gonna hunt you down BFG, if my face starts melting off or something. lol

aww shit, sorry, I shouldn't have said anything.
I'm on day 5 - looking good. My husband commented today on how much smaller the cysts are now. This is the first thing I've found that pulls all the crap to the surface, which I find absolutely necessary.
On a repulsive note, as the cysts come to the surface and I can needle the suckers, there is actually an odor. Not a pleasant one. Stuff has been festering under there for quite some time.
Gross. I can barely believe I'm a girl.
I've been on this regime for 4 days and all I can say it's looking pretty good. I know it's a little too early to judge but no other regime I've been on has lifted this much gunk up this fast. Almost all of my little cysts have surfaced into pustules/papules and it doesn't hurt as much to move my mouth. Plus my acne isn't as red and inflammed as it was before on DKR's reg. But, I still got a ways to go and at this rate I think I should see a huge improvement in the next couple of weeks.
Well I've been on this reg for 2 weeks now. The first week on it was amazing. I thought I had finally found a solution. The thing I really noticed was the fact that it cleared all of these stupid little white bumps on my face. I would run my finger across my cheek and be able to feel them. With time they started to spread to my neck and that's when I realized I needed to try something fast. It got rid of those bumps on my neck as well. The largest white bump on my face turned into a cyst which really sucked but I thought it was worth it.
Now, 2 weeks later my skin seems to be at its worst. I have two annoyingly painful zits on my left cheek which is a place where I usually never get acne. The cyst is flattened but it's still pretty visible. I got another two zits on my chin and just random red spots that aren't very serious. Before this reg I was getting acne primarily on the right side of my face especially by my jawline. While doing this I haven't gotten much there at all. Anyway, I still plan on continuing this because bfg said that the fiber tends to stir up things in your system. I hope he's right! We'll see in another month or so...
let me give you guys a few words of encouragement or of my experience.
In my experience, a pimple never resolves until the little hard seed inside a pimple is removed. If its not removed, it will just stay under the skin and keep on manifesting itself over and over again. I had this one cyst that stayed for around 6 months, repeating cycles of flaring up and going down. UNTIL one day...the plug finally came out. that bastard.
Anyhow, my point is, there is lots of shit under the skin that results from unresolved past acne that we don't know about. For me, I never had to deal with it while on this regimen, because i was just under accutane, and most of the crap was pulled out laready. And lemme tell you, ALOT OF CRAP came out when i was on accutane. Nevertheless, after my course of accutane, new acne kept popping up. That's where this regimen helped and is working to prevent any new pimples.
keep having faith. Let all the crap to come out. in my experience with cysts, pimples don't go away unless the hard seed comes out, so let the regimen do its job.
Yes this not a fast reg. That because it works at fighting your acne in a different way by pulling it up to the surface. But the ending result is a much deeper, clearer and healthier looking skin. Not the sun dried or sun burnt skin like other regs have you. Like I said the first week might have you looking clear from the get go. But as the drawing effect digs deeper. Thats when your real acne problems starts. Its also worth noting what your seeing is what would have surfaced over a course of a month. Pretty nasty to think about. I think its also important to note. Also its always important to treat a little past your acne prone areas. Sometimes going along right at the edge line can cause problems.

what if your entire face is acne prone? I've been applying the wash to my entire face and letting it sit for 15 minutes. I also didn't get the chill factor, I got the original 10% BP on accident. I can't return it now so, please let me know if it's even worth continuing with what I have. thanks!
When would you say the initial break out period ends?? Right now I get a like one or two new zits a day. Many of which do come to a head, although I do have about 3 right now that are smaller, but kinda painful and havn't come to a head. I def. notice a change in my skin, but it looks so bad that I am a little apprehensive. Is this type of breaking out normal??? And when will it stop?? I will continue to do the reg. I have been on it for about 2 1/2 weeks and will give it at least a month.
I started taking the fiber tabs three weeks ago and i also noticed my acne getting worse mostly where i was already prone to acne(lower cheek/jawline), but also places that i rarely get a cyst like my forehead and chin, now its getting back to normal.I havent applied the chill factor or bar soap cuz i just started using duac gel and dont want to mix the two even though i got strong skin.
