Some of you may remember me as one of the strongest advocates for this methid and the dude who left the site based on my success of achieving "normal, teenage looking" pimples instead of big pustules....

To anyone not sure about doing the regimen...go ahead. What's the worst that could happen? If you're on this site, you're suffering from acne. OBviously your products aren't of much help if you're sti...

So. I've heard not to use water and then to use it and some people are using olive oil at night?   I'm the only one doing that. Oil's not bad for your face, especially if you're not using anythi...

So I was wondering - any experience from trying the caveman regimen after being on the bp regimen for years? I'm afraid if I just stop it cold turkey, the acne will just come back with a rebound effec...

To the people trying/having success with this:   Are you shaving?   How often, what shaving cream, razor or electric?   Thanks   I shave once every 3 days. I shave under the neck...

I'm going to add something to this discussion, that I've found interesting.   One of my housemates always has had small bouts of acne...like he would get a pimple once in a while. He never used a...

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been here. My skin's not doing bad, I still get pimples but seriously, its "normal zits" like you would see from an average teenager, so I don't really care. In ...

I actually might drop the water, but, do you think I'll have to go thru that excessive flaking period again? Also, I remember I did "no water" for like 3 days in early september and got like excessive...

Wow, wierd. I've actually been thinking recently that my chronic bouts with dry skin are due to the excessively chlorinated water in my area. I'm living off campus in university right now, and my area...

As far as the natural oils go, I actually only did it AFTER my flaking period subsided. Like I literally walked around with TERRIBLE flaking for 1.5 weeks, and then right as it was subsiding, I starte...

I think the dead skin part is the toughest to go through. I remember that week where I had REALLY bad dry/dead skin everywhere. It was terrible, I didn want to leave the house. After a week though, it...

^ Well, I only leave it on for 20 mins, not the whole day. And it hasnt broke me out yet. In fact, when I DONT use it, my flake starts flaking again a little, so I'm actually goin to use it twice a da...

Well, the thing about how I've been doing it was just modifying your original approach. The reason is because by the time I discovered this thread, I was well into the "no topical" phase, and washing ...

^ Well, I only leave it on for 20 mins, not the whole day. And it hasnt broke me out yet. In fact, when I DONT use it, my flake starts flaking again a little, so I'm actually goin to use it twice a da...

My acne is mostly pustules, some small whiteheads, and I've had like 3 blackheads my whole life.   When my acne flares up, its big BIG pustules, but yeah, its usually pustules that range from sma...

You guys have to try it for yourself and modify it to your own needs, but going back to topicals after 7 days doesnt do shit.   I went off topicals in May, and thank god I was off school, because...

^ I just shampoo once every 3 days now. The other days I have olive oil on my hair overnight. My hair is starting to get really shiny (I have black hair).   I used to shampoo like everyday before...

Checking back in again. I'm actually happy with my skin for the time being. It might get worse if I dont sleep properly this week, and my diet is bad, but for now its going sort of well. I dont want t...

Just reporting back. My flakes are completely gone. I got a break out this weekend, but that was because I pulled almost 2 all nighters last week and I was super stressed because of midterms. However,...

My flakiness went down like 70% since I've been applying olive oil to my face for 15-20 mins at night, and then rinsiing it before I go to sleep. I dont know if its because of that or because its been...

lol, last night I didn't wash my face before I went to sleep (first time in my life, not counting days when I went to party and was too drunk to care and just passed out). Apperently overnight I forme...

Oh, lol, I thought you were just putting the experiment down. My bad.

I think what I'm going to do is just stop washing my face at night, and just take a shower in the morning. That will subside the flaking, but since flaking is a part of this regimen, I guess it'll go ...

^ I don't think you get the point of the regimen. Like I say, 100 years ago, we never had half the sh*t for acne that we have now, so I'm pretty sure the high rates of acne nowadyas past the teenage y...

i reckon that the bottled water did more harm than good. The water is fine but i think the water removed some dead skin which i prob needed to be there (whilst the skin repairs itself underneath etc)....
