What advice would you give to someone who wants to start the regimen but isn't sure about adjusting their routine. I use PanOxyl twice a day which is ten percent benzoyl peroxide, but it is a wash and not a cream like the second step calls for. I also use aveeno ultra calming foaming cleanser before that. Should I just cut panoxyl out and get the benzoyl peroxide cream? Also, if I did that would you recommend a stronger cleanser since it's really more for cleaning your face than healing acne?

First off, washing your face twice back-to-back is too much and may dry out your skin, doing more harm than good. And to answer your question, you'll want an ultra-gentle face wash, the most gentle you can find, not a stronger one. So I'd lose the medicated acne wash (panoxyl) and just use the other one, along with a 2.5% BP cream or gel, followed by a moisturizer. This 3-step process works best when used in conjunction with the Acne.Org Regimen products, but can easily be adapted to other products.
Hope this is helpful!
