The Regimen

I'm 3 weeks in and I've gotten a lot of compliments from my bf/family about how much better my skin is looking!  I have very sensitive, cystic acne skin and I've tried everything at the drugstore and on amazon to get rid of it.  I went to a derm. once and they wanted to put me on accutane but I personally didn't want to do it.  I will say I probably got a little too excited with the treatment on week 2 and my face got EXTREMELY dry.  I waited though and pulled through.  I did have to swap moisturizers because I personally did not love the one that comes with the kit.  But after I did that and started using some jojoba oil my dryness has almost completely gone away.  I'm not 100% clear yet, but the difference between day one and now is insane.  I'm even on my period and haven't seen anything new pop up (usually its like a madhouse of pimples).  One piece of advice though, stay away from foundation that has salicylic acid in it.  My face burned when I tried using my clinique foundation with salicylic acid and itched the rest of the day.  I swapped to a mineral powder foundation and now I'm such a happy camper.  Do try this, it's worth it if you have hormonal or cystic acne.  And remember that there are going to be some rough, dry, peely, pimply days but if you just keep going you're going to feel like it was all so worth it!! 

I left this same review on the big bottles..

This regimen not only worked for me, but 3 of my friends who all have different types and severity of acne. This photo is of my skin now. Nothing else ever did the trick like the regimen. My friends and I always joke how we are "slaves to the reg" because we need it so badly and we can't ever skip it.

READ: My acne did not go away until about a month - month and a half. I only get pimples if I skip the regimen a few times or half-ass it for a while. Even on nights where you are super tired, drank a bunch, or mornings you want to sleep in and skip it.. remember you are a "slave to the reg". It is VERY worth it though.. nothing like smooth skin! If you do decide to try this product, be sure to use it consistently and follow the instructions very closely for at least a few weeks. I am SO glad I did.

My biggest question is why this regimen isn't as popular as these other super overpriced acne products? Oh wells more for us people who know about it haha. Acne.org gives large quantities of their products for an accurate and realistic price. I usually don't use the whole pump of the lotion and cleanser so I can last about 4-5 months with one regimen purchase, and it is super worth it! My skin has never been clearer, glowier (is that a word?) and healthier. Even if I get a random pimple I apply more of the benzyl and AHA and the buggah is gone. I started the regimen about 2 years ago and I had moderate acne, but sometimes would get cysts that would hurt, so this product truly has eased my pain and given me confidence. I also get compliments on my skin now, like how I used to in middle school before acne happened haha. I would add a pic of the results but some people are scary and I don't want my face over the internet, Ill add this smiley face though :)

I’m three months in and have noticed a slight change not enough to give a full 5 star review. My acne is not as bad anymore  and I still have blemishes that I’m trying to banish. Like in the whole three months there has never been a day or days that I haven’t had a breakout. I’m going to push through and finish the kit and give an updated review later. 

I love this product!!!! I recommend this regimen to everyone I meet. I get so many compliments on my skin. I started this regimen over 3 years ago and like it says in the directions it took about 3 months of discipline and strict following of the rules and since then my whole face cleared up of all acne, along my scars disappearing. I'm so happy I found this product, it really changed my life. My boyfriend has severe acne all over his face and neck, very bad scarring and I just started him on this regimen a little under a month ago when i got a re-up of my kit! Ill post some pictures of his face to show progress since I don't have and before pictures showing my acne before use.

I have mild to sometimes moderate acne and the regimen itself defintely helped clear my acne. But it left my skin mostly my cheeks extremely red and irritated. Using the regimen my skin was extremely dry even having oily skin, my skin would constantly peel off sometimes in hard clumps. It also tanned my skin unnaturally. Don't use if you have sensitive skin.

I started the Regimen a few weeks ago, and I just got a breakout on my cheek, a place I've never had anything before. I don't know if it is getting worse before better, but I am worried.

I've tried many products many brands but this is the one that I see the best results.
