I bought this cleanser that was on sale called the Oxy Daily face wash.   I didnt read it too well on the time of purchade but this cleanser contains microbeads which makes it somewhat of a semi...

I just bought this face wash that was on sale called Oxy Daily face wash ("engineered for men" apparently)   I didnt read it properly at the time of purchase but the face wash contains microbead...

That is GOOD skin. I'm truly glad that you persisted. Keep it up and those marks will indeed fade.   Pea sized amount was also good for me too, I never agreed with using even one full pump, let ...

End of week 4   I forgot to update week 3 because I had a cold, terribly sick.   Havent touched BP ever since. I got two small pimples the past two weeks but again they disappeared quickly...

Manuka honey is actually a well received ingredient for both skincare and health, it's one of the things NZ is famous for.   I do agree though that Mandy isnt really adding to the conversation, ...

I had one of those smack bang in the middle of my nose, absolute worst, went for about a month and half.   Topical treatments didnt do much for me, I believe cystic acne is caused by an internal...

If any moderators are reading this, could they possibly move this to the Personal Logs forum? I have only just realized that is appropriate.   End of week 2   Once again I changed my mind ...

I dont remember a seperate cleanser for the body but I do remember Dan recommending the large size cleanser for that.   Its good that you're optimistic, but remember to be patient. Start small, ...

My skin is oily, so I switched to a BHA exfoliant (if your skin is dry, AHA is probably better) and I'm in the clear, but this change has to be gradual, you have to ween yourself out of BP instead of ...

If you would like to try decreasing the dosage, do it slowly. And I think you need to give it time as well. When I decreased from two full pumps to just one pump, I got a few pimples, but I ignored t...

I made the same mistake. I too started the regimen with the full two pumps, but when Dan says not using enough is a mistake, he's really talking about the stage where you're maintaining the clear skin...

Hi Amy I too have considered using Bio-Oil for my acne marks, but I did my research and found that it actually contains many irritating ingredients (I highly recommend a website called Paula's Choice...

Don't use AHA if you've still got active acne, it will cause further irritation. Four weeks is the recommendation because that's when most people's active acne subsides, but some others such as yours...

What nicmic said, the sensitivity to sun is the most likely cause, so SPF is important, regimen or not. It's not just direct sunlight, sitting in the shade on a sunny day, or simply walking about on ...

End of week 1. One thing to mention, I did say I was going to apply the BP once every three nights, but I felt confident and changed that to four nights. So this week, I only applied BP twice, once o...

  I'm starting to doubt this product.   I got the AHA for the sake of assisting in fading acne marks. Havent made much progress on that.   This doesnt absorb very easily and just st...

Think of it like a gun wound, the purging process is like how the bullets must be removed before complete healing can take place. If you are breaking out a lot initially, that is how severe your acne ...

Yeah the idea is to get the skin used to producing non excessive amounts of sebum, because that was my main cause of acne, my skin used to be extremely oily before I started the Regimen. I know I word...

For the past three and a half months, I've been applying half a pump (pea size amount) once a day (night only), and I have still been clear. This "pea size amount" is how Proactiv instructs their use...

My breakout started during the year, shortly before turning 23, the acne was almost the point of severe. Made me very uncomfortable during cafe work where I had to speak face to face all day. In my s...

Sorry let me rephrase my question.   How does sun tanning affect acne marks and scars, and does applying SPF change things?

Yeah, all the more reason I'm willing to get out there. Just wondering if going for a tan will cause long term damage on acne scarred skin.

I have been on the regimen for a while now, I have no more active acne but I'm still left with post-acne marks and scars.   I have been working indoors for a long while now and I have been said ...

Hey LikeMoonlight   I saw your post in the other AHA thread and made me curious, do you use AHA daily while still using BP and/or the regular regimen? If so, are you using it as a moisturiser af...
