Yes, my older son is looking much better. Last week was bad for him, but once he headed into Week 4 it seemed like things got better almost overnight. The redness is way less and no new pimples! Even ...

Alyssa.. So happy for you doing so well in your race... that's GREAT!! And with a head cold no less. That's awesome. And your pics look really, really good! The redness has really gone down a lot and ...

whatanate... hang in there, sounds like your skin is purging. It's nutty how everyone seems to purge at different times on the regimen. After looking great for the first 2 weeks my older son had lots...

I'm glad you're doing well in Week 3. My younger son is doing great as well in week 3, but my older is having a lousy time of it this week. Redness and some new pimples. Basketball season started (he'...

My suggestion would be to go back to doing exactly what you were doing when your skin was clear. Go back on the regimen and stop any other topicals or prescriptions, as well as any extreme diets. If y...

Thanks for replying back to my little rant from this morning-lol. It was a bad way to start the day, looking at new zits. But he's better now and so am I. His whole face was so red this morning, even...

Wow... your new pics look so good, esp your left cheek and your chin. Very happy for you! I totally know what you mean about the marks, it looks like more acne when it's really not. If the marks would...

The only thing that Proactiv has in common with the regimen is the 2.5% BP treatment (step 2). The Proactiv cleanser is much more harsh than the cleansers that Dan recommends and the Proactiv toner is...

Glad that your dry skin is getting better! Just a few short days ago the dryness seemed really bad for you and now it's already improving, so that's great. My older son has quite a bit of redness and ...

I would definitely suggest you try the regimen. Esp if you have tried other things that haven't worked for you. I've posted on the site that my sons are doing the regimen, they are in their second wee...

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving and have a Happy Birthday too! I know what you mean about the food... my kids ate a boatload of high carb, bad-for-you food yesterday for Thanksgiving, and then did it...

I think your new pics look really good. Much less redness on your cheeks and everything looks flatter. Don't be hard on yourself... everything does look much better! My boys look good too. No new pimp...

I know what you mean about the makeup... definitely takes more effort for us girls to get the makeup off so that could be contributing to the dryness. Guys can just slap some cleanser on and splash it...

My sons are using the regimen for just over a week now and they are seeing remarkable results as well . In just one week their skin is so much improved. There could possibly be some setbacks in the up...

Hi Alyssa Sorry to hear about the dryess. But it's worth it if your skin is getting clear!! My boys have the dry skin too but it's not flaking or peeling. It's just a fine layer of dry skin covering t...

They haven't gone up to the full amt of BP yet, will prob do so in week 2. I'm keeping an eye on their skin each day for redness and irritation, I'd rather that they go slow in the beginning because I...

I love reading your updates and glad to hear everything is going well! My boys are doing well too; tomorrow will be one week for them. They both got a couple new pimples this week but nothing crazy ba...

Just wanted to follow-up... My sons have been on the regimen for over 5 days now and have bumped up to the 2x per day application. It's amazing how much improvement they are seeing in just a short tim...

Sounds like you're doing great, Atn! And it sounds like the regimen is working for you. If you can combine that with a good diet, then you're doing everything you possibly can, and I'm sure your skin...

I sure hope it's just some initial purging. I really don't even understand why people get an initial breakout when starting BP. It's supposed to kill over 99% of acne bacteria so it doesn't make sense...

Just saw the recent pic of your cheek and it's def better! All of your blemishes look flatter and less red and angry-looking. They look more like they're dying away - yay! My older son (15 yr old) wok...

Glad to read that your cheek is looking better! That's really encouraging. No major changes yet for my boys, but a couple small new pimples popped up so I think they will bump up to the 2x per day reg...

I forgot to quote you earlier so wanted to make sure you would see my above post. Thanks again for your help! I'm glad there are moms out there that really do all they can with their kid's acne situ...

I think you have to be very careful using Retin A with other active products. It can be very tough on the skin just on its own. My sons used it for a year, on its own, and I honestly don't think it he...

Thanks for your kind words, nicmic! Your Before and After pics are some of the most amazing ones on here, so you are among the ones who have inspired me to try the regimen. My kids are really good kid...
