*** The Regimen Does Work! Give it a try.....

Pros:

Controls New Acne
Remove blackheads & whiteheads
It clears up your skin. Kill bacteria causing acne.

Cons:

Dry skin
Itchiness
Not sold in store

I have a combination of oily, dry, sensitive skin. I suffered acne since I was 21 yo. I have tried several acne products from over the counter to Dr's prescription. The only thing that really works was a combination of Accutane & acne extraction once a month. After using accutane, my skin was clear & glowing. It was a life saver for me at that time but after 10 months off of accutane, my cystic acne came back. I was put on accutane again, to make my long story short I was put on accutane 3 times but again my acne came back. I tried different prescription capsules though it made me sick but it helps a little bit. Prior to using The Regimen, I saw my Dermatologist to get the prescription and I also visited my Aesthetician 3x for acne extraction but still not much improvement. After reading the reviews about The Regimen, I finally decided to give it a try. I purchased the Regimen Kit and followed the direction precisely ( cleanser, BP & Moisturizer) twice a day. Keep in mind to Start Slow on BP. It is very important. And when in doubt use more. Week 1 I use a pea size of BP and it glides easily & absorbs quickly into my skin. The 2nd day of use, my skin was red, dry and itchy like hell. I would woke up at night finding myself scratching my face. The jaw line was very itchy. Two small pimples came out but goes away in 3 days. Normally my acne lasted longer specially the cystic one would last up to 6 weeks if not longer. My skin starts to dry out so I decided to buy the big kit Plus comes with jojoba oil & AHA. Week 2 I doubled the dosage of BP morning & night. My skin was dry, irritated, flaky, red & itching continues. I got 9 big zits came out but only lasted 4-5,days. I added jojoba oil into my moisturizer to help with the dryness and flakiness. I should of start using the jojoba oil on day 1 of the regimen. I noticed my eyes were red, watery & very sensitive to any lights. I think it got irritated from the BP. I started mixing the jojoba oil & moisturizer and apply it around my eyes & eyebrows.I noticed it did help with my eye irritation but feel the burning in my eyes when Input the BP. The skin on my right face was so red, cracked & flaking. It's hard to put a make up on, it was so caky. It does affect my self esteem but I overcome it by staying positive and I tell my customer that I'm using the Acne Regimen that's why my skin is dry and maybe looks awful:) they don't mind. In the morning, i use the small fan to speed up the drying process since I have to be at work at 7:45. Week 3 Increase the dosage of BP. Skin is still dry but cracked looking is gone. Redness is less and still finding myself scratching. Skin feels tight & dry. Flaking everywhere. Four new zits came out. They're big & painful. I can't wait for them to turn yellow so I can pop them. Yes, I pop my zit & it helps with the healing process. You have to be very extra careful when popping your zit. You don't want it to get infected & spreading the bacteria in your face. These big zits lasted for 7 days. Week 4 Maintain the same dosage of BP. Skin is clear, but still dry & flaky. The itching is less. Got 2 big zit under the skin, it was painful. I put more BP on this troubled area and it helps to shrink the size but didn't completely disappear in 7 days. Overall skin is more clear. Old acne scars are visible. Week 5 - 7 I use the same amount of BP. Skin is less dry. Redness & itchiness are gone. The 2 big zit under the skin on week 4 are completely gone. I applied 1/2 AHA+ 1/2 moisturizer into my night regimen twice a week. The AHA stings my skin but it wasn't too bad. On week 6, I started to use AHA alone once a week and I love it. It exfoliate my skin and get rid off the dry skin and peeling. My skin is clear. I would get a pimple or 2 around my period but they're gone in 3 days. So far I am happy with the result. I am glad I tried the Regimen and I am committed to continue using the regimen because it does work for me. You just have to be patience and pass those worst weeks because in the end you'll be smiling like me. If you're struggling with acne, give it a try and follow the regimen precisely. You'll see the results yourself. Good luck!

Best acne treatment I've ever used
I am a 33 year old female and ever since college I have struggled with acne. It started with the cystic kind and more recently I was just plauged by angry breakouts at least once a week. I tried proactive, Obagi, using a clairsonic, etc and have never been able to really cure my problems. I found "the regimen" online and based on the glowing reviews thought I would give it a try. Even before I received the products I started using the process of gently washing my face and even doing that seemed to help. I started using the regimen in late June and right now it is November and quite literally I have never been happier with my skin. Within a week my skin was less angry and even though I may occasionally get a blemish now (which is rare - my skin is clear - blackheads are gone - skin is not red, etc) it is mild and clears up within a day or two. After the first month of use, I added the AHA and REALLY like this product. I do also use the jojoba oil and would absolutely recommend that. I can't say enough about what the regimen has done for my life. My skin feels great to the touch and I have so much confidence I can even leave the house without makeup on and I don't feel bad at all. GIVE THIS A TRY!!

Pros:

It works. I don't follow the rules faithfully either. If I see a clogged pore, I'll still pick and pop. But as long as I immediately wash my face and put some treatment on, it doesn't turn into a red pimple. I have no acne, and I haven't said that since before I was 12, and I'm 26 now. I forgot what it is like to walk out of the house without putting makeup on.

Cons:

The first two weeks were tough. My skin itched so badly, and it was red and flaky. This whole process takes a long time, with a lot of hand washing between each step which is a pain. Be sure not to rub the moisturizer under your eye, because it will transfer the treatment, and dry burning under-eye is miserable. My blackheads are still loud and proud on my nose. Not sure now to get rid of those rascals. The shipping takes over a week, and it's kind of expensive if you dont do the automatic order

Before starting The Regimen I had used pretty much every item in the acne aisle at Target, and some prescription medication and home remedies. No matter what I used I consistently had up to 16 blemishes at a time. After the first application of The Regimen I knew it was working, mainly because of the terrible burning, flaking, and itching. But all acne production stopped. Immediately. Now 6 months later I have NO acne, other than blackheads. It has truly changed my life

Pros:

stick with the regimen it works.
each step is awesome and after a few weeks will make ur skin glow.. in a good way. No side effects like accutane

Cons:

the first week or so is brutal.
first two weeks you will experience itchiness, redness and discomfort but stick with the regimen as the website lays out.

It works!! im pale and have ultra sensitive skin. I was on accutane so for those who were on that ur skin will not get nearly as dry as the accutane me it, and it doesnt affect ur lips like accutane. My skin did get itchy and red but the moisturizer and aha are awesome. This regimen makes my skin glow. Im acne free with a pimple or two maybe once every 6 months. For the first time in my life people complement me on my skin and dont believe me when i tell them i suffered from acne.

Pros:

-Clears up all acne!
-Easy to apply
-Odorless

Cons:

-BP can make skin very dry but if you stick with it and use jojoba oil with the moisturizer, you should be fine

I used SO MANY different products to clear up my acne but nothing worked better than the Regimen. At first, my skin was really dry and itchy from the BP but I kept on using the products and I'm glad I did! My skin slowly started clearing up and after 2.5 months, my acne was completely gone! My skin was so clear and smooth! I got so many complements from others and I felt so good! If you want to read about just how much I love it, please visit my site: [link removed]

Pros:

It Works! After soooo many years of fighting acne with doctors and prescriptions this simple routine has cleared me right up. I can't express how happy I am. I started with the suggested drug store treatments, and once I saw that they worked I ordered The Regimen kit. I have tried EVERYTHING and I am so happy that I gave this treatment a shot. Please try it, it could be the life changer you are looking for. It changed my life at 29 and now at 30 I feel beautiful and confident again!

Cons:

Takes a bit of time.

Wonderful. Try it!

Pros:

It does work!

Cons:

- Initially causes redness and irritation
- Initially causes extremely dry skin ( I added jojoba oil to the mix and my dryness ceased)
- May cause more pimples to come out but they will heal and die.
- MUST FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER!
- Must be consistent!

I started doing the regimen in october 2011 after I broke out like crazy! I've always had some acne, more than the usual person, but last year it got really bad. Initially my face got really dry and red, but I could see that my pimples were also drying out and dying. After 6 months of treatment I was cleared except for a few hyperpigmentation marks and my skin no longer got red or irritated after applying BP. I still get pimples, though not nearly as much, and doing the regimen kills them overnight.

Pros:

Really does clear your skin
Not as hard as a concept to grasp, makes sense
Reasonably priced for the quantity and quality

Cons:

Initially makes your skin very dry
Sort of a long process to do if you're doing it correctly and thoroughly

The Regimen is, in my opinion, the best acne system out there. I tried drugstore products. I tried proactive. I tried X-Out. I tried Retin-A and antibiotics and birthcontrol. The Regimen works and even at the beginning when my skin was super dry because of introducing the large amounts of benzoyl peroxide, i could still tell a difference as far as my acne went. I've never had horrible acne, but bad enough for me to not feel confident enough to want to go out with a big group of friends or look people directly into the eyes. Now, I've been using The Regimen for a little over two months, and I've never been happier with my skin. It's clear. It's rough at first because if you're following the Regimen's instructions like you should be, your skin will dry up. DEFINITELY BUY THE JOJOBA OIL AND THE AHA+. They definitely help with the flakiness. Push through the first few weeks and you'll be very satisfied with the results. 100% recommend this product.
