The Regimen

So when I first used the regimen, it was amazing, worked like a charm. It got rid of my acne and the AA+ got rid of my dark spots and my skin was flawless for a couple of months. But now my face is just always really oily, my pores are huge and I have never had those problems before using the product. I do not get bad acne like I did before I started using this regimen but I do get multiple little bumps around my nose, in between my eyebrows and even on my nose and I NEVER had those problems. So I'm not sure what's going on. I did loosen up on the strict steps but I've gotten back to it for at least 2 months now and still have not seen a change. Besides that, my skin is still acne free but from those mini bumps i do have new scars and it sucks. As a side note I started using the regimen late January 2017 and it's now early November 2017.

Before I started on this regimen I tried a lot of stuff that didn't work. My confidence was terrible and I was always sorry for myself and tried to hide my face in public. It takes patience with this regimen but after 3 months my skin was fabulous and clear. I did though change the moisturiser to a more moisturising one and the cleanser because it ran out and the shipping to Denmark is quite expensive. I'm so thankfull for this regimen tho!!!

i am a 24 year old women...i never really struggled with acne until now!!!!!!! i have been using this product for about 3 weeks now. i am still getting pimples here and there, but they dont last as long as usual now that i am on the regimen. im going to continue with this product for the next 9 weeks and will update you guys . so far so good tho lol!!!

I've had acne since i was thirteen and i've bought the regimen, proactiv, acnefree, etc many times. I would say these products are for the average joe with decent skin. It will not eliminate acne but it may help keep it at bay for those who are in the beginning stages. Not great for those who have struggled with it for quite sometime as you'll need to address it in a different way (diet, sleep, hormonal etc). So although this did help a little, it didn't prevent the inevitable. The odds were stacked against this regimen for me as acne runs in my fathers side of the family. Look into what causes acne and you'll better understand. None the less, great for the average joe who still has hope to preventing the acne from getting worse.

I started getting small pimples on my cheeks never really on my forehead nor chin until about 10 months ago. I started getting small pimples in between my eyebrows & above. I never really worried about them because I was so used to getting small/medium sized ones on my cheeks. I would try everything to anything to get rid of them. I tried many drug store cleansers, exfoliaters, creams, everything!!!!!! I also tried homemade masks and nothing worked. About 9 months ago I started to notice bumps under my skin and they would hurt I even made the mistake of popping it while it was still under the skin & not noticeable & I made it so much worse. It turned out I was getting cystic acne. I applied everything from ice to zit cream to even vapor rub because of a video I watched. After that it was not as noticeable but it was still there. Weeks later I got one of those damn pimples on my chin the place where I had never gotten a single pimple. I felt so bad about myself because even my family would point it out. The day after I got that pimple I went to school and I would cover it with my hand and I did not look at anyone in the face. The was the limit & I decided to take action. I was in class watching reviews about acne products and I came across this. I talked to my parents & they decided to pay for it which I thank them for. The regimen burned & it dried my skin out so bad that my makeup would look really cakey & everyone noticed it was flaky. I was so embarrassed because I couldn't do anything about it. That day I had a date & I was so embarrassed to show him my skin he didn't point it out so that was good. I was mad at this regimen because instead of gelping it made my skin look & feel worse. I was going to stop it after 1 1/2 weeks but I decided to keep going & im glad I did my skin is now so much better & I feel confident not wearing makeup. Thank you Acne.org

Now, to begin. I'm a 16 year old high school Junior. The first encounter with acne was my freshman year of high school at the beginning of summer. It was just a view zits so I brushed it off thinking no big deal. Near the start of school, my acne took an explosive turning point. Zits and cysts began forming everywhere. I started becoming desperate and ashamed of my face. Going to into public, I'd always wear a hoodie to shield my face. I've used every possible home remedie. Some did have effect, but not enough to stop my acne. It would comeback more stronger. Then about 2 months ago I discovered the regimen. I'm not really a skeptical kind of guy. I was pretty impulsive ordering it immediately. After purchase and arrival, I tried it. Worked great at first, but I had a problem picking zits, I eventually stopped and let the acne regimen do its thing. It definitely cures acne, I mean I still have some breakouts, but nothing too noticeable. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because of the obnoxious dry skin. Beware the dry skin.

Its my first week and seems like is working I'll come back in a month.

Okay so I been using the regimen for a little over a year. It worked wonders for my skin I have oily cystic prone skin moderate acne. I followed the regimen to the T. Every single step and instruction for a complete 3 months my skin was completely cleared not one single acne at all but my skin was excessively too dry not to mention my skin is oily but it dried out my skin too much it hurt to smile or even talk because it became so dry and tight. I stopped using the regimen since my acne was gone and decide to buy moisturizing cleaners and that was good for my skin so I bought Lush products (mask of magnanimity, dark Angels , and cosmetic warrior) my skin kept clear for another 4 months then I ran out of my lush products and my skin was not dry anymore so I decided to just buy a gentle cleanser (cetaphils) then out of no where my skin broke out only on my forehead terrible cystic acne and I haven't been able till this day to get rid of my cystic acne on my forehead. I went back to using the regimen for just 2 weeks but my skin is starting to crack and become extremely dry again. I love these products it does its job but it's extremely over drying to my skin.

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!

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!
