Yep, it works by allowing your skin to neutralize and balance itself out. We don't really "need" to slather products onto our skin so I think Cavemen regimen is great but unfortunately it doesn't always cure acne for everyone. I'm glad it works for you though, keep it up!

Hi, I'm new to the forum I just joined because I had really good success with a modified caveman and wanted to share my success with it and encourage people to try it. My personal theory is that all the washing and drying causes deep damage to your skin. The acne is actually all that damage moving to the surface. So if you never wash and dry out your skin you never create that damage. I don't think it's bacteria caused. One of your skins primary jobs is to protect your body from external stuff so it should be pretty tough.
I agree that it probably wont cure Absolutely everybody because I think there might be some special medical cases that are different. But I thinka largepercentage of people who suffer from it would benefit from chillingout on theircleansing. I don't even use soap anymore I just rub my face gently with my wet fingers once a week and that's it. All the nonsense about cleansing your pores is causing a lot of people to over wash.
