Update: I washed my face on Day 17 because I had a presentation to make for school. The way my classroom is set up, the front is under direct, bright light and I knew I couldn't be confident presentin...

Hi everybody! I'm pretty new here and came across this thread. I feel I have nothing to lose so I am officially starting this no washing regimen TODAY.   I washed last night with the following: &...

I've followed the following regimen so far:   -4 days without washing, then I washed with Purpose cleanser   -5 days without washing, then I washed with Purpose cleanser   -2 days with...

Try to think about the no water/limited water regimen in these terms -- using Dan's regimen (washing/BP/moisturizer) as recommended may take MONTHS for results to come about. Check out the 'right stat...

Acnejean, I'm sorry if you have explained it before, there are 15 pages to shift through and I'm too lazy to check, but have you considered reducing your regimen? I'm looking at the first page and not...

Update: So day 26 of water only (33 days since any topical) and no active pimples anywhere. Instead I have a very dry, dull, rough apperance of dead skin almost all over my face. Starting yesterday ...

o.k. so after the skin has healed is it ok to allow water to touch ur face without thinking about it? Like 1x a day during your shower? I can't imagine doing this for the rest of my life (avoiding w...

I was looking at my hand today, for some reason, and I noted something which relates to the issue of irritation and the length of time it may take for it to subside. I have an odd way of writing --...

Cant u get an electric shaver NEC? I wouldnt put shaving cream on your face as u are breaking the cycle and it will throw u bck a few days in my opinion. Good luck with your job. Yeah im the same...

It has been four days since I've washed my face, and the oiliness has noticeably decreased around the cheeks. It's still present on the nose, though.   In the right light, it actually appears li...

I'm really becoming aggrivated with my skin. It's ridiculous. After my last post 9 days ago I began exfoliating more, as I believed that was my problem, and what happens by the reemergence of redness....

What I've adopted recently is an approach of only washing with water when I'm about to go out. In that case I run lukewarm water over my face, shave (if necessary), then gently wipe a washcloth over m...

It's interesting that you bring this up because I have the same problem.   It's likely an issue involving blockage embedded deep within the pores, of which topicals just can't reach.   Eve...

I will have to admit... I disagree with this whole "do not wash at all" thing.   I think you can have success with this, but it is really not needed... not to mention you all probably smell horri...

I have noticed a pattern in that it seems the "no chemicals/washing" regimen works best for people with like inflamed acne/cysts. I haven't seen many people saying it helps blackheads and hyperprolife...

I've been a proponent of the "Caveman Regimen" for quite awhile, having experienced the benefits myself on several occasions dating back to May when Waterwater's thread first sprung up.   However...

O.K. so my face is extremely dry/flaky. I have not done anything, but let water run over my face when I shower each night for 9 days now...(I started this initially Oct. 25th, but I've caved in and e...

DAY 1 of restarting nothing regimen.   Last night before I went out I washed my entire face with Dan's cleanser. It literally took 15 minutes to completely wash away the dead skin/flakes/etc. af...

About to enter Day 8 of not washing my face. Tone hasn't really improved since Day 4.   What I noticed today is the oilyness is now only present on my nose. For the first week it was the same le...

So it appears that my overall complexion has improved since starting this, however, if I get real close to the mirror my skin seems dull and tired, but definetly no inflamed acne. Although I'm please...

Interesting how, entering my third day of not washing my face, I've had these strange itching sensation in both of my eyes. It happened today out of nowhere. Just before logging onto this site I notic...

I have 2 questions though. Should I be shampooing my hair daily still?(without washing my face) and I don't know what to do with shaving while on this regimen. What to do!! Use water ? Shaving cream? ...

Even waterwater never claimed this regimen as a cure. Nothing works 100% for everyone. Here's what I noticed with myself:   - Never seem to have more than one active pimple on my face at any po...

Since last posting I have abandoned water only and adopted an approach of cleansing/applying BP in the morning, cleansing/applyingBP/applyingAHA at night.   It has been over a month, and althoug...
