This is quite common and perfectly normal. A red face and burning sensation is par for the course in the early weeks of the regimen until your skin adjusts to the BP. So long as you are following th...

Hi Jan, congrats on reaching the end of week 1. Sounds like you're going nice and slow, so hopefully your dryness shouldnt be too bad. I felt the same way about the acne org moisturiser, thinking ...

I'm sure you can always find cheaper products but you may not be able to find cheaper products that produce the same results for acne prone skin. I find Dan's products really cost effective even thou...

I use all of Dan's products although in the early stages of following the regimen I didnt find his moisturiser to be moisturising enough, but whenever I tried other products (such as cetaphil, and cer...

Its normal. It doesnt have a seal. Good luck with the product, I think Dan's BP is the best.

Wonderful results, and not surprisingly you look incredibly happy. Well done and congratulations!

Agree with NYCQUEEN, you can't skip any steps of the regimen because you just wont get the results. Irritation is one cause of acne breakouts and dry skin is irritated skin. You may not feel that yo...

It may not work for some people but it worked for me. But in order for it to work, you need to be mentally prepared for a month or so of pure awfulness (based on personal experience). LIke the abov...

When I first used AHA+ I had a small break out again after being clear from the regimen, but it only lasted a week or so and then cleared up again. Its a shame that we all have different reactions to...

Hi Paulinarae, if you are up to your third week and applying two pumps of BP a day, you're doing really well. I also experienced what you are currently going through in the first month and a couple o...

Try it. I started using it when I was about 80% clear (and hovering around that % for a few weeks) and it took me all the way to 100% clear. Whether it was a coincidence or not, I did break out a ...

I had the exact same experience, early in the regimen. One night I used dermologica moisturiser and it was amazing and my skin was so soft and hydrated the next morning. But by the next afternoon I ...

Be prepared for a month of hell, but if you can get through it you will be rewarded Added to the itchiness, burning, redness and dry flaking skin, I also had red eyes and swollen eye lids. But I p...

Its normal in the early weeks. I used to dread the last stage of the regimen of putting on moisturiser because that was the stage that used to burn like crazy. It gets better though as your skin get...

I would suggest just adding a few drops into the moisturiser. Many people following the regimen applied the jojoba oil on their face as a type of exfoliant before cleansing, but personally I didnt wa...

You may find you have to build up a tolerance for AHA, especially when your skin is already trying to adjust to BP. In the early stages of following the regimen (and 4 weeks is early), try only apply...

The two pumps does seem to be un-necessary for some people but for me it was vital. I have extremely dry skin anyway and obviously the BP just made that worse. I applied the two pumps of moisturiser...

I really enjoyed looking at your log, very thorough and I'm sure new people to the regimen (or contemplating following the regimen) will find it invaluable. You certainly are experiencing severe fla...

I think it depends on the type of makeup you use. I find that the Acne.org cleanser takes my makeup off just fine in the suggested 10 second time limit, but if you wear foundation such as "double wea...

Like FitandFresh, my skin got a lot worse in the second week where all the tiny underskin bumps that had been lingering under the skin for years all popped up to the surface. So basically my face was...

This happened to me too, although only to a small part of my neck, not such a large area as you seem to be experiencing. I second the recommendation to apply moisturiser to your neck before applying ...

^ I found that antihistimine eye drops (for alergies) helped with the puffiness. Give that a go before you abandon the regimen altogether.

Hi there, the regimen is a topical treatment so you will need to continue to do it for as long as you still suffer from acne. Once you are clear it would be best to periodically stop the regimen to ...

My suggestion is to not mess around with the regimen until you are completely clear. Follow it exactly and once you are clear, you can then start to experiment with adjustments to work out what works...

I think it looks great - clean, professional and genuine. I know when I first stumbled onto Acne.org a year ago and read about The Regimen my initial thought was that the website looked a bit 'home m...
