Hey guys, so I've been sort of on/off on dans "regimen" (mostly on the bp/moisturizing) but I do however wash my face very frequently. Reason being is I work moderately outside/inside (UPS driver) so I am scared that my acne will respond negatively with the bp (some insight would be great) not sure how severe people would rate my acne, but would like some insight, and wanted to know if the marks that are on the picture "active acne" or if I have scars/pigmentation since I don't know what route to take not knowing what I have.
Thank you!
Your acne looks like it's not very bad at this point however there is some scarring and hyperpigmentation. Keep in mind that The Regimen works best when used very strictly, twice per day, every single day.
For the hyperpigmentation read here: http://www.acne.org/faq.html#redmarks

and for scars read here: http://www.acne.org/scars.php
I had the exact same thing the first time went on the regimen and they kinda mostly faded away after about 6 months. I got off the regimen and started getting acne again so I went back on it for a second time and I have lots of them like you again so I'm hoping it'll take another 6 months to start fading like it did last time. Oh and I would say it's mild since it doesn't look that bad.
