I would try to keep everything as simple as possible in your routine. Maybe just stick to BP and moisturizer for now. Aha and jojoba don't always work for everyone and they could be causing you more t...

I agree with the above that you should drink plenty of water, and I would give up the fish oil. If you've tried something for several months and seen no improvement, then it could possibly be making i...

Grapeseed oil used along with the regimen really seems to help fade hyperpigmentation. Plus it's very gentle and non irritating, and doesn't cause breakouts.

Hot water seems to make acne more red and irritated. It dies down after being out of the shower, but I think over time it can have a cumulative bad effect if hot showers are taken regularly

Purpose Liquid is good. Alpha Hydrox Foaming Cleanser is even better if you can find it. I don't think Cetaphil cleans all that well and leaves a film on the face.

Here are a few things that worked for my sons on the regimen, used along with 2.5% BP:   Alpha Hydrox Foaming Cleanser Replace Moisturizer with pure grapeseed oil Take one 500 mg B5 daily &nb...

OP: drop the BP. It was a gamble, it didn't pay. Discover why you are getting acne and deal with it.

Purplesky... Unless you can site specific studies that back up what you say, or post Before and After pictures backing up that your methods work...Be Gone! No one takes you seriously.

To the OP... hang in there. It's tough in the early weeks and can seem like a lot of ups and downs. One day your skin is looking better, the next day it seems bad again. The regimen may not be a perfe...

    After 7 weeks, it sounds like BP just isn't going to work for you. BP doesn't actually work that well for most people, it's just something that has been noted as helping some people for...

You probably have a sensitivity to the jojoba oil. Oils such as that are pretty inert and I can't imagine that it would cause stinging unless you had a sensitivity to it. I would stop using it and pos...

My sons started on the regimen after using Retin A for nearly a year (with mediocre results). They didn't wait in between... stopped Retin A one day and started BP the next. It was no problem.

Dans moisturizer didn't work out for my son either. Caused irritation and redness, and then a huge breakout. Moisturizers seem to be very problematic, what works for one person can be horrible for ano...

If you are still breaking out regularly you should switch your moisturizer, possibly cleanser too. Something isn't working. Also, try to stick to a healthy diet and make sure you are not eating anythi...

Wow... Your skin looks awesome! I can honestly say I was worried for you when I saw your Before pics, I thought you would have no choice but to go on Accutane. But now that I've seen your latest pics ...

I would try using a lower strength BP and applying it twice a day, more like the regimen suggests. Also, I think the cleanser may be too harsh, and you should probably not scrub too hard or use hot wa...

Grape seed oil is another one you could try. It's very light, good for acne-prone sensitive skin.

I have used the 10% Enhanced Lotion and the 14% pads and I like both, but the pads are quite strong so probably wouldn't recommend using them with BP. My son uses the 10% Oil-Free Gel which is a clear...

Perhaps it's not the BP but some other ingredient in the CVS product you are using. Have you tried switching to a different BP product?

I was going to suggest Alpha Hydrox too... can you buy it online? They have a good 10% AHA lotion and an oil-free gel.

Your skin looks great... Good for you!! One question I have... Did the minor scarring you had on your forehead in the Before pic fade away on its own while you were on the regimen? You mentioned you h...

Thanks for responding so quickly! He's going to start your routine for the back tonight. His face has cleared up really well using BP (doing regimen once a day), and taking a zinc supplement. But his ...

Hi all, I too suffer from severe back acne (since teenage years, and now I am in my 30s). It must be genetics because my parents have moderate back acne. When I say it's severe, I mean I would have,...

I agree with Sendmeangels that you should see a derm. You need to get the active acne under control and that will lead to better skin and less scarring. If seeing a derm is not possible, then I would ...

I agree. I would just use the BP. Irritation = Pimples.   In my experience, tretinoin did very little to prevent breakouts. On the other hand, BP kills acne bacteria.
