Use Cetaphil dry to very dry moisturizing cream. Nothing else has ever worked for me and I've experimented with the regimen for 10 years.

I first got acne when I was 17, out of nowhere. I had never had a pimple before in my life. I've been on the regimen since 20. I'm now 30. For a lot of us, there is no growing out of acne.

From my experience (10 years on the regimen, living in a cold climate) the only thing that works to mask the flakes is cetaphil dry to very dry moisturizing cream. I know you're not supposed to use a ...

I started the regimen when I was 20. I stopped a few times to see if I "outgrew" my acne. I'm now 30 and am still using the regimen. I never thought I'd be 30 and still have acne, but that's life. Con...

I note on the do's and dont's list, that Moisturizing creams are a "don't. I use Cetaphil dry to very dry Moisturizing Cream, because every single other moisturizer I have ever used (and I have tried ...

BP will bleach anything, no matter the mixture.

Anyone have any advice? I'm not popping my pimples, nor am I going out into the sun, but 3 months back on the regimen my face isn't clearing up at all and every single pimple is leaving behind big re...

The Regimen is a method of last resort due to it's time consuming nature and side effects. I've stopped a few times, thinking there has to be something else that can help which doesn't take an hour ea...

As a 30 year old who has had acne since 18, the only thing that has "cured" my acne is exposure to sunlight on a daily basis. When I had summer jobs outside, I never had acne. Vitamin D supplements do...

I was on the regimen for about 8 years. It wasn't a fix but it reduced my acne. I quit the regimen last year as I got fed up with the flakyness and lack of total success. I started it again about 3-4 ...

I developed acne at 17. I turn 30 in 2 days. It hasn't gotten better at all. People who say acne just goes away in their 20's are quite lucky.

I'm glad this method works for some of you and that its helping with the dryness, but I still recommend that you follow the regimen exactly as Dan has described. Believe me I understand how awful the ...

I started the regimen at 20. I always thought I'd grow out of acne in my 20's. I turn 30 in two weeks and if I stop the regimen my acne comes roaring back. Some people don't grow out of acne, it looks...

Hi Jarlo, sorry to hear that you're struggling with dry skin. The fifth week mark is a horrible time because you start questioning whether you are just replacing acne with lizard skin. I was exactly t...

I use Cetaphil dry to very dry moisturizer, lots of a jojobo, aha+ and humidifier. It's a catch 22, cut back on the bp and the acne comes back, follow the routine and the flakyness never stops. I have...

Even when I only did the regimen once a day instead of twice a day for YEARS, i still couldn't stop the flaking. I tried AHA+ and while it worked well on my back it resulted in the worst breakout I ha...

Im now using cetaphil with joboba oils. So far its been 5 days and my flakes have disappeared. Also for the shinyness I use CVS oil absorbing sheets. There $5 and they bring 50 sheets(there on sale no...

I've never been able to cure the flakyness in all the years I've been on the regimen. I'm covered in flakes when I wake up, around my mouth when I eat, when I'm in the shower. I've tried the most powe...

I've used every moisturizer ever made along with jojoba oil several time a day and I've never been able to get rid of flaking when eating, waking up from sleeping, or even in the shower. I've never ha...

I'm in the same situation as many here. I was so sick of the reigmen after 10 years. Lately (I'm 30) The acne marks that were being left behind on the reigmen were terrible. They were big and didn't f...

My experience: Benzoyl peroxide: Gets into the skin and does its thing amazingly well. 2.5% works better than 5% or 10% because it is less irritating but still creates plenty of oxygen to kill the b...

The bodyshop Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion.

It didnt do much for me

I tried those suggestions. They don't work. For many, accutane is the only answer.

Congrats to you. Life must be unreal now.
