Hi, i can't really complain about my acne since its not that bad.
(Pics soon after i shave)
Its composed with White Heads  and Black Heads, once in a while it forms a pimple that is ready to pop with "white stuff"
I exfoliated for a month (1 September to 2 October), No results, except for my upper arms that are better.
So i decided to try Benzoyl Peroxide, However my local pharmacies and malls don't have a single product with Benzoyl Peroxide, like Clean & Clear (FML), its not on stock.
I would love to acquire the Kits from Acne.org BUT:
- Body kit ~80$ (ok) + minimum (40$) Shipping
i can't afford that.
Today i acquired from Uriage, D.S Cleansing Gel regulating foaming gel.

Ideal for:
-Body
-Face
-Scalp (i got dandruff, and  when body heat rises i get really itchy will this help?)

To be honest i don't think this will do anything, but since my acne is not inflammatory and its not severe, who knows, those are my expectations. But i had the money, exfoliating was getting me nowhere, could not acquire BP, why not?

Also the regimen requires a cleanser, BP, and AHA+
What does the cleanser actually do?
Anyone knows products similar to AHA+ from Acne.org?

Can i use it instead of Acne.org Cleanser?
Ty for your time.

AHA+ isn't required, but you do need a moisturizer.
Cleanser primes the surface of the skin to enhance the penetration of benzoyl peroxide. Cleanser (by itself) doesn't help with acne.
Again, just look for a generic moisturizer. It doesn't need to contain "fancy" ingredients. What are the ingredients? I'll do my best to determine if it's okay.

This are the ingredients, thx for the info.

They look different from acne, but they are also ugly -.-
My back is like this too, does BP fix this too?

That cleanser contains sodium laureth sulfate as the 2nd ingredient. This ingredient is similar to sodium lauryl sulfate, whichstrips the skin, damaging its protective barrier and introducesirritation. It's a good idea to avoid using cleansers that contain these ingredients on the Regimen. If they're one of the last few ingredients, it should be okay, but here it's listed 2nd.

Ty for that info, but since i will using this only, for a month, shouldnt be that bad right?

You can use whatever you want, but some products aren't ideal to use with the Regimen, and this is one of them. You may not get great results. Good luck

Well, just placed a order for 8o.z BP and 16 o.z Cleanser.
For the body regimen the moisturizer is not required, instead there is AHA+, is that just to help fade the marks?
Or can i expect results with cleanser and BP?

Hi, it looks like you have clogged pores & ingrown hair! which cause bumps. You can check my post about Body/Back acne. Hope it helps. I used benzoyl peroxide for 2 years on my face and it helped then but once you stop it comes back like crazzzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyy! So make sure you think carefully about it!
