Has anyone used the Alpha Hydrox brand- 12% Glycolic acid in a souflee form? Did you like it better than Dan's? Did it make marks appear lighter faster or texture more even? What are your though...

1. lighten and soften up red, indented scars (boxcar-they are small and shallow)? 2. will it make a big difference over time? 3. will the AHA still help even if I keep applying BP?

Yes, the AHA is more liquid-y than the BP, that is completely normal:) There are no hard and fast rules about the amount of AHA you should use. I either use a thin finger's length like Dan suggests,...

While I don't have olive skin, I have been using Dan's AHA religiously for the past few years. I think it's a great product and has been very effective in improving my skin tone and texture, but it d...

HI Maybemonday...I think I am going to keep using AHA for now. Some days when I wake up my marks look lighter and other days they look more red. I have only been using it for 3 weeks in varying techni...

I have olive skin tone surprisingly enough with Polish, German, Swedish, and Welsh ancestry. Why, I'll never know. My dad looks straight up Italian / Hispanic, it's really quite strange but moving on....

I also have olive skin and am dealing with the exact same thing. I was wondering if I should try to use BP only once a day to see if that helps. I have been on the regimen for 4 months as well and it ...

Hi Sweetsleep, I have enjoyed reading your blog. Can I ask how long it took you to get completely clear? I have been on the Regimen for 12 weeks and although my cystic acne has slowed a lot, I am sti...

@AyeAye... OMG... Isn't it crazy that you start to see the signs of aging marching across your face now that acne isn't much of an issue anymore? I was flabbergasted when I realized that my eyes were ...

I just want to say hi nycqueen and AyeAye, you guys were having so much fun I wanted to join the party! Isn't it annoying how irritated our skin gets when we try to use our exfoliating brushes or pads...

Does anyone know the effect of AHA with cystic acne? I haven't heard any specifics on this...

drpsnw, that is great that your method is working for you (I eat a lot of different kinds of fruit but I still have cysts )! Congrats on beating your acne, I wish we could all be so lucky!

Bjgsam, you're welcome! I wish you great success and I know if you follow this you will get results. I agree with Darkwizzie who said people gave up on the regimen because it wasn't producing results ...

Hi, I am new to the acne.org regimen (just started 4 days ago) and I have a couple questions, as I am just a little confused. First of all, I was wondering if I was supposed to stop any previous acne ...

Congrats on being acne-free! I have to say I am a bit skeptical that your fruit smoothies are the sole reason you cleared, though (not trying to rain on your parade or be an ass, just my gut feeling)....

I am taking the same pill and am doing the regimen twice a day. My skin has adjusted to the BP and is not flakey, as long as I use the jojoba oil with it (5 drops with each application of moisturizer)...

Hi Mystory, I am a newbie to the boards (longtime lurker, new poster) and last year I started getting cystic acne. I thought it might be because I got off the pill 8 months before (8 months is a long ...

@lovebug... I understand your frustration but things will get better with time... Remember that your friends and hubby are there to support you and won't judge you based on your acne... You will notic...

Hey @lovebug77... Welcome to the acne.org family!!! Eight weeks into the regimen can still be a rough time for your skin, especially if you get cystic acne... You have to keep in mind that DKR is a sl...

Hi Everybody, I am new to the message boards and I have been on the regimen for 8 weeks. I am still having some cysts come up and am getting so frustrated. I have been enjoying this thread and the upd...
