The Regimen

I have tried everything--and I mean everything, to clear my acne. Nothing over the counter or prescribed to me by my dermatologist ever worked. I came across The Regimen a day before my next dermatology appointment and decided to order it, so I canceled my appointment. I have not returned to the dermatologist since I began using this product! I have to warn you that the beginning can be very difficult. Your skin will flake (it's inevitable) and even get itchy at times. In the beginning this caused me to break out even more at times (it was so incredibly frustrating), but then I reduced the amount of BP that I used. Anyway, I decided to stick with it and 4 and a half months later I am SO happy that I did. It will take time. It's not an over night miracle. Now, I hardly ever get a pimple except once in a while around my menstrual cycle. But, before using The Regimen I can't remember a time when I didn't have at least 2-3 blemishes at the same time (and that was on a good day). If you've been dealing with acne for as long as I have or even longer, this product is definitely worth a shot.

Love this product. I stumbed upon the acne.org site while looking for a 'cure' after trying so many different products from the drugstore and NOT wanting to spend $150 on a prescription cream. THANK YOU ACNE.ORG!!!

I was really hoping that this would be the product that work for me. I'm in my mid twenties with severe acne. I have deep dark skin. This product made my skin soo dark and i saw no results. It saddens me because I had such high hopes in it. Also, every morning I woke up with puffy eyes while using this product. I only used it for 3 weeks. I personally wouldn't recommend it to dark skinned people, especially those with sensitive skin.

OMG!! I wish I had never used this product! I followed instructions for over 2 months. I noticed my face started breaking out but I thought it was the way the product works, so I give it time! NEVER GOT BETTER!! I'm still regretting using it. I have a semi-dry skin. My acne is now located all around my Chin.

I had never had a struggle with acne until I started going to beauty school at the age of 19.   I have no clue as to way in my early twenties WWIII decided to happen on my face but it HURT, a lot.   But I found acne.org a few years later and that totally changed the game. After using "Regimen"   I only seemed to get acne if I wore makeup for too long, didn't clean my brushes very often or from constantly eating junk food.   Then after I started eating a clean vegan diet I noticed even clearer skin.   I am happy to say that I haven't had a bad break out in...2 or 3 years?   It's been a minute.   Now I never skip washing my face when I wake up and once more before bed.   I stay clear as long as I keep that routine up!   Thanks Acne.org :) For anyone experiencing irritation here's a few tips 1. make sure you only have the cleanser on your face for 10 seconds no more than that! 2. BIGGEST HELP wait for each application to dry completely if you noticed even the smallest amount of left over product it can sting! This stuff used to make my eyes red but if you let each application dry all the way it should save you some trouble. 3. Wash twice a day and if you feel too dry drink water and check your diet! 4. Play with the amounts. You don't have to follow the directions 100%. I hardly use any Benzoyl Peroxide any more. Heck I hardly use the full recommended amount of all the products anymore. It does take time but once you are in a good routine with it you can play around with the amounts. For instance if you are too dry go easy on the cleanser and peroxide. Maybe even use a very neutral moisturizer (just be careful around the eyes). I hope this helps :)

Didn't help for my mild to severe acne. Might work on skin that doesn't break out a lot

I'm a 27 year old female who has struggled with mild to moderate acne since i was probably around 12 years old. I have combination dry/oily and Asian skin so it is prone to scarring and hyperpigmentation. I am also a bit of a picker which doesn't help :(. I've tried lots of regimens (like Proactiv which i used for years but it just wasnt getting rid of my acne) and made multiple visits to dermatologists which, although effective, were very expensive and time-consuming. I've found that this regimen has been the MOST cost-effective thing I've tried. I get bad hormonal breakouts from my face to my chest and back so the Acne.org regimen was the most practical thing for me. I love that all my problems can be addressed by just one 4 step treatment (with the AHA) and I don't have to spend extra for add on treatments for my back. I noticed improvements in my skin just 1-2 weeks after starting. I still get a few breakouts during my time of the month but they aren't as big as before and they do heal faster. This will dry your skin at first but it is expected and i just use more moisturizer and a non-comedogenic night cream before bed. After 4 weeks, my skin has adjusted to the regimen nicely. Nothing I've tried has worked this well to decrease my acne. Like i said, I do break out still but soooo much less and it's only been a month. that's more progress than I've seen with anything else I've tried. I can wear a lot less makeup when going out and people have said my skin looks so much clearer. Also, my chest and back have completely cleared up and all that's left are my post inflammatory hyperpigmentation marks which the AHA is helping to fade out. THIS REALLY DOES WORK GUYS. But as is for any regimen, patience is key. Will post another update at my 2 month mark. :)

I'm pretty sure I've never written a review for anything in my life but I just had to write one for this. About 6 months ago I stopped taking birth control and for those of you that don't know, one of the perks of being on BC is flawless skin. Roughly 1 month after I got off BC I started breaking out. At first it was only a pimple here and there and then it got progressively worse. I shelled out hundreds of dollars on products and face tools that claim to "ride you of acne forever" and to no avail. Nothing worked for me. My self esteem was shot and there was A LOT of crying and "why me's". As I was just about to give up and accept my fate of having an acne ridden face for the rest of my life I figured I'd try one last thing. After watching a ton of youtube reviews I finally gave in and ordered the regimen and omg I'm so happy I did and I really wish I ordered it 6 months sooner. I've been on the regimen for 3 weeks now and my skin is SO much better. I can't even tell you how pleased I am. I saw the inflammation of my skin and active acne decreasing within the first few days. I still get 1 or 2 pimples here and there but they clear up in no time. Plus I figured that would decrease as I continue the regimen and it's no where NEAR as bad as it was before! Like everyone else my skin was super dry but I started using jojoba oil by itself as a night time moisturizer and the moisturizer that comes with the regimen in the morning, followed by a moisturizer with SPF. Now all I have left is hyper-pigmentation from acne scars ( I'm a picker :( ) but I just ordered the glycolic acid to start using at my 1-month mark which is supposed to help with that. I can't wait until my skin is back to its flawless self! Thank you so much acne.org you're seriously a life saver!!

I was a bit skeptical when first buying the Regimen, but after doing research, hearing great reviews and growing tired of unable to be comfortable in my own skin, I decided to take the chance and place my order. I carefully read and followed all the directions, precisely. Within the first 2 weeks I began to see change. The inflammation and redness from my acne was reducing much more than ever! Now, I did also notice my skin getting much more dry, but I'm guessing that's how it works, right? Anyways after completing my first month of the regimen my skin was SOOO MUCH MORE CLEAR! It's not completely clear yet,I still do have redness and acne, but the regimen has given me better results than any other product I have used, and trust me I have used SEVERAL! This regimen also helped me to regain my confidence and love for my skin once again! I now go around school WITHOUT makeup which helps the regimen to work much better from my experience and I get compliments from my friends saying how much my acne has reduced because even when I did wear makeup it was still very noticeable. Now I can't wait to see what the second month brings me. P.S. if you're wanting to know my skin type- I have combination skin that leans more to the dry side around my cheeks and jaw those are also the parts that got more patchy and dry

If you're at your wits end with acne and have tried everything, don't hesitate, PLEASE do yourself a huge favor and start the acne.org treatment. One of the best decisions I've ever made! I literally never review anything but wanted to review this amazing regimen and acne.org products. I've always had persistent acne, concentrated in a few areas (especially in between my eyebrows). After going on birth control to treat acne and regulate my periods last year, I started getting scarring acne everywhere on my face. Turns out estrogen messes with your melanin production, and some people actually experience worse acne once starting birth control. It was devastating to my confidence. There was a lot of crying. I tried all sorts of natural remedies, like cutting out dairy, but nothing worked. Eventually I quit birth control, which helped, but I was still experiencing consistent, scarring acne. I was always on this site looking at reviews for other acne remedies, but one day I decided to buy the treatment after looking at all the positive reviews, especially on youtube. I had tried benzoyl peroxide in the past, but once I looked into the "regimen" that Dan gives you, I realized I had been using it all wrong. I would only put it on fully formed zits instead of using it as a proactive measure. If you follow the regimen by gently washing your face, applying A LOT of BP, and then moisturizing (morning and night), your face WILL clear. I had really dry skin at first but I just used a lot of moisturizer and my skin adjusted after a few weeks. The first weeks weren't pretty though. Adding in the AHA also helped a ton with dryness. Mine cleared after about a month, although I do still have discoloration left over. I still do the regimen morning and night, and my skin has never looked better. I never think about acne anymore. I might get a few around my period, but with the regimen they go away pretty fast. I actually use cetaphil cleanser now (it's easier to pick up at the store), but I always buy the benzoyl peroxide gel from this site because it goes on clear and it's the most cost-effective. A big bottle lasts me around 8 months. My advice: buy the regimen, and watch the videos/instructions on the acne.org website to make sure you're using it correctly. It might take a while, but eventually your skin will clear and you will have your confidence back! It's honestly been life-changing for me.
