The Regimen

I am a teen with acne-prone skin. My skin is very oily but since this product it has been oily but flaky? When I first began to use this product it worked tremendously within the first week. I had little acne bumps all over my forehead and active pimples around my mouth, chin and cheeks, pretty much everywhere. Your skin does go through a very harsh stripping of its oils to really just dry out your acne so my skin became very flaky. It took about 3 months for my skin to completely clear and I was left with loads of hyper pigmentation/acne scars. I did not see this as much of a problem since this could be covered with makeup. Before I continue I would like to say that the moisturizer is too light and did not moisturize well, it was also very oily! :( The cleanser has no acne treatment in it and is VERY comparable to Philosophy's Purity cleanser. It removes makeup very well! Now months and months passed I would never break out but I would still have this flakiness that would make my liquid foundation not very appealing :( It would be flaky and just not "perfect". At first i thought it was fine, at least my acne was gone! I thought that if I stopped using the Benzoyl Peroxide(BP) it would stop being flaky. I also thought that it would be okay to stop using it since my skin is clear. I was wrong. I replaced the BP with the Neutragena Stress Control Toner and it really did the trick! No acne, no flakes and makeup was applying perfectly! Little did I know that one week after not using the BP my little forehead acne bumps came back! and now I have about 4 pimples randomly throughout my face. I quickly stopped using the toner and went back to the BP and it began making my skin flaky again. I started using the BP again a week ago and no improvement yet... In fact, I have gotten 2 new pimples on my cheeks. Hopefully stopping the use of the BP did not ruin my "relationship" with The Regimen forever... Wish me luck in the next few weeks!

I started using it on December 16th, in am (in pm, I was using DIfferin) for a week or two, and afterwards only Regimen (no Differin). It made difference already after the first week! However, I did not follow the dosages of BP and instead listened o my skin - I have tried using more BP but then as soon as I did, my face hurt so much that it was painful to talk! Keep in mind, my acne is mild and only on my chin and forehead, the rest of my face is normal skin. Currently, I only apply it on spots and I have no pimples on my forehead, and 2 pimples on my chin (used to be 10!). After 2 weeks of using, my face and for some reason neck (though I did not apply any BP on neck) became extreeemly itchy so I had to tell myself to stop scratching it. Now it seems like my skin calmed down since I am not trying to increase BP dosage.

Okay, so today is my 7th night of this regime. Yesterday, my face literally felt like a snake. It was tight, uncomfortable, and BURNED. First several night, I didn't notice anything different about my skin. No dryness either. But 4th night, oh my gosh, the burning was absolute insanity. It felt like my face was on fire, and the moisturizer didn't do anything to help, and frankly just made the burning worsen. Last night, I went to CVS and purchased some Aloe Vera Gel. Thank God I did cause it took care of the burning immediately, and at night I put the aquaphor all over my face, and it felt like heaven. And in the morning all the dead skin just came off when i rubbed my face. It felt great! All in all, so far, i don't see any clearing in my acne so i'm still gonna stick with it. But just beware yourself that if you do have sensitive skin make sure you have aloe vera and some aquaphor. It literally saved my life cause i would cry so much about the burning! i'm still gonna stick with it, and give some more feedback soon. Hope this helps!

August 2013 I had reached the end of my rope. I've suffered from acne since middle school and it's always demeaned my self confidence. I've been on birth control, antibiotics, and almost started accutane after receiving cystic breakouts. I was depressed and desperate and after much research I decided to try the regimen. In combination with reducing dairy and my picking tendencies, It worked. It does take some time. This is not an over night miracle, no acne treatment is. This bp has a gel base which takes a few minutes to dry. The bp does stay clear throughout the day. I feel the wash and moisturizer are unnecessary (go ahead and use Cetaphil for cleansing and moisturizing.) I also recommend clean and clear persa-gel 10 for spot treatment, this bp is thicker and more drying. My skin is not 100% clear, but I no longer develop cystic acne. Also I ordered the 8oz bp and I'm just now running out and I've had it since August and it is now December. Be patient. Acne sucks, but with the right products and discipline you can greatly improve your skin. :)

The day i got the package i was very excited. I have been on the regimen for a month i have seen resaults in this week the acne on my chin is gone i have only one bigg fat bump ! but is better than a whole bunch witch is painfull. I have only scars on my chin now. Were i most have alot of acne is on both sides of my jaws and some on my cheeks it bothers me but i have faith this kit will work so im gonna keep trying. Overall i feel this is a great product .

I have suffered from acne since I was 13 (I am now 23). I had tried everything. Every kind of topical cream pills, I even did accutane. While the accutane cleared my skin from cystic acne very quickly, it also gave me depression, stomach problems, and after my treatment was done, the acne came back. I was ready to give up when I stumbled upon this site. I was skeptical at first, like I was with all other treatments, especially knowing that accutane had failed. I didn't have much faith that this would work but boy was I wrong!! I bought the treatment, moisturizer, AHA+ and jojoba oil. (I WAS DESPERATE) My skin immediately cleared. I went from having at least 5 cystic zits on my jaw line, to ALMOST NEVER breaking out. My skin looks amazing, I could not be happier. I am concerned that my skin will grow accustomed to the treatment and that the acne will eventually come back, but I have been using the treatment for four months now and my skin still feels amazing. The only thing I will say in a not so positive light is that I still feel my face to be very greasy. Especially if I use the moisturizer (which I stopped using for about two months, but have started again only at night). I found that if I put on moisturizer in the morning, my face was shinny and super greasy throughout the day.

I used to use Proactiv Solution for six years and it worked for about 3 years and after that it didn't work for me anymore. Then I switched to Skin Id which cleared my skin in less than a week and I loved it! Unfortunately Skin Id got discontinued. Then I was skeptical about the acne.org regimen but was so desperate to find something that worked for me and decided to give it a try. The first month my skin dried and flaked like crazy! I wanted to hide in my room and not go to work nor school. Always hid under make up during those rough days. After a month I noticed a difference in my skin and that gave me hope. I've been using this regimen now for about six months and I would totally recommend it to anyone who has been having acne problem skin. I still get a break out here and there but nothing compared to a face that looked as if someone had smacked me in the face.

In high school, I used the Clinique acne system for around two years and I loved it. It always worked for me and did wonders to clear my skin up. However, during my first year of college, my skin blew up. It started off really gradual, but it kept getting worse and worse. I stopped using the Clinique system to try and find something else, but nothing really worked. Just as I was getting past the point of desperation, I decided to try Acne.org. I've been using it for almost 3 months now and I absolutely love it. It started to clear my skin within the first few weeks and continued on until I had no breakouts left. The only bad thing is that it really dried my skin out, but that goes away. I highly recommend this product to anyone out there who is struggling like I was. It changed my life and I know it can change yours!

not too sure yet to think of this product but its been a week and my acne is clearing, currently ive literally tried everything from supplements to "acne kits" and definetely for me benzoyle peroxide is a miracle worker the only downfall is that it is a bit drying ,but some jojoba will do the job, the only other complaint i have is that some facial redness has been occuring but at least im am clearing up. in case you were wondering of the supplementation of my products ( i do work at the vitamin shoppe) i take saw palmetto for excess testosterone, guggul for natural tetracycline alternative, zinc for scarring and immune system, and lots of fish oil since i work out and of course my aminos and protein for weightlifting..... but girls if you were wondering t balance your hormones if your acne is hormonal look into maca, or eveing primrose oil.

I got a kit with AHA and jojoba oil last. Though it's only a short time since I began to use it, only one week, I feel this kit is so amazing! I already recommended to some of my friends. I'm so happy that I can wake up with clear face.
