my skin seems to have an allergic reaction

Hello. I was actually really looking forward to using the regimen, and also expectet great results, but now i regret even buying it.

I was on day 14 of the 3 step regimen (cleanser, treatment, moistrizer) and was using the products according to the instructions. (I didn't use any other products for the last two weeks) I woke up this morning with my skin feeling extremely itchy and red. It looks like got a sunburn all over my face. I am not sure, but I suspect my skin reacted allerigic to one of the products, probaby the benzoyl peroxide?

Obviously I won't be using it again, which is really upsetting since I spent quite a lot of money on the skincare products.

DO NOT USE

the worst products which have completely ruined my face. I have been using the cleanser and moisturizer everyday for about 2.5 weeks now and I have cystic acne all over. Before I would break out mainly on my chin and maybe a pimple a week. I have like 5 big bumps everywhere. Its going to take me a long time to clear these scars now! BEWARE

Do not use this regimen

DO NOT USE THIS REGIMEN!!!

If I could rate this 0 stars I would, but it has to get 1.

I have been struggling with acne for years and I tried this regimen a couple years ago. It didn't really work because I would pick at my skin. I decided to pick up this regimen again a couple weeks ago because my face had been doing better but it wasn't completely clear yet. My face automatically started getting worse. I was breaking out with cystic pimples and so many white heads. I assumed this was my skin getting used to the products again and that it would get worse before it got better. Then after it started to get really bad after a month, I looked at the ingredients. There are so many harsh chemicals, not to mention alcohol and fragrance in these products that should NOT be going on your skin. 

Not only did the regimen severely break me out, my skin was peeling and flaking off. I understand this is common for people and you have to manage how much you use the products and ease them into your routine. I did start out small with the use of benzoyl peroxide (only at night) but i would wake up with huge pimples with my skin peeling off around it. This benzoyl peroxide is 2.5% too, which is crazy it would have such a harsh reaction. I have been using 5% benzoyl peroxide for most of my life and it has never made my skin so dry. 

Moral of the story: this regimen has way too many chemicals and is way too harsh on your skin. If you're really trying to clear your acne, do your research and focus on the ingredients that are in your products. They are only telling you to strictly stick to this regimen so you keep buying their products.

Not for me

I have mild to moderate acne. I started this regimen 2 months ago. I used the cleanser, BP, and lotion for a month, then I incorporated the AHA. My acne has not improved at all. I followed the instructions exactly. I am not sensitive to BP, but I feel that this particular formula made it so my face could not heal properly. Every time I would break out I would be left with large dry red marks on my face. This has never happened to me before using this product. I advise caution when using this product. I think it might be for people who have very sever acne. It does dry out your face, but that is to be expected considering all the chemicals you are using on your face. Week one I thought I was improving somewhat, week two my face seemed to be getting worse. I kept going with the product because I read a lot of reviews that said you get worse before you get better. I kept going until month one hit then I incorporated the AHA. It has been two months on this regimen and my face looks terrible. I have terrible marks on my cheeks and I still break out everywhere on my face. I originally started this regimen after coming off birth control. After a couple of months being of the birth control I started to break out. I ordered these products, but I wish I did not. I feel that if you are in the same situation I was in and you are trying to combat acne due to stopping birth control you should just let it take its course. I do not usually write reviews but I wanted the people in similar situation to read what I went through. Most of the reviews on here are positive, so it is hard to say whether or not my experience was a fluke. I went back to using Cerave face cleanser and La Roche Posay 5.5 BP as a spot treatment. Hopefully this helps a little. 

I still use the AHA to prevent wrinkles, but I do not think it does anything for breakouts. For the people who do decide to try this regimen I hope this is their miracle product.

Scam
I would advise no one to buy this product. I followed all the instructions to the T when I bought this back in March. I placed my order on the 6th of March. I did get it quite quickly considering it was shipped to the U.K (which was ridiculous that I had to pay another couple of dollars for when I was spending so much on the kit) anyway I followed it to the T and no results at all. The products made no difference to my skin after 2 months of trying. I didn't give up because I was really upset that I would have wasted all that money for no reason. I was a bit skeptical to buy the product in the first place so I wish I went with my gut instinct and never actually purchased these. The only good thing about the whole kit I bought was the moisturiser. I do use this and it makes my skin feel nice but I'm sure I could purchase a good moisturiser in the U.K for less then £44.07.

Not for everyone
This regimen made my face flaky and will not use it ever again. My skin tone got terrible and not natural. I started getting large pimples although I used to have only 5-6 tiny ones. I don't recommend this regimen to anyone as it makes your skin get addicted to the product and your skin will be 10x oilier when you stop using it. Now it has been 5 months after I stopped using it and my skin finally looks like before although I ended up getting few scares because of this regimen.

Wish I would have never tried it :(
I had very light acne, maybe 3-4 pimples OCCASIONALLY. But I was used to not having any at all so I wanted my clear skin back. I read really good reviews about the regimen & had friends that used it so I decided to purchase. 6 days into the regimen my skin was noticeably worse. Call it "purging" or whatever you want but it just got worse & worse after that. I began getting LARGE white zits- which I never never used to. My skin is now broken out worse than ever around my mouth & chin as well as red & flaky. It has made me not want to leave the house- I can't even put makeup on because of the condition of my skin. I've been using for 16 days & will not continue. I have now been put on birth control to try & combat what this has done to my skin.

to those with sensitive skin
I tried this product with so much great attitude bc i had read so many reviews on this saying it works and all of that. My skin type is actually oily but not as much on my cheeks. So after the first week of using this my face was sooooo red and it stung and my skin was just extremely dry. My first thought was ' its just the process..many people said this happened' so i waited.. i kept using it, just less bp, for about 3 weeks and yet nothing had changed! still red, still irritated, and now just 10x more sensitive than it already was. after the 4th week i realized that all it had done was just burned off my skin on my cheeck bomes and cheeks. It was flakey and dry even at the 4th week so i finally just stopped using it bc my face literally hurt & it was just so red. So yea if you have sensitive skin just let this be a warning :(

Dissatisfied
I ordered this product after seeing great reviews. I followed the directions precisely; however, I'm very disappointed. I used this product only TWO days and my face reacted badly. My skin is extremely dry, itchy, irritated, and sensitive. I have small irritation bumps all over. I used minimal of the benzoyl, and even added the jojoba oil. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

Dude that's normal, if you've never used BP before, you need to let your skin adjust to this new product that of course will make your skin dry and itchy. Once your skin adjusts you will start to see results. It even SAYS that on here before you buy it

Made my acne worse and resistant to products.
Prior to using the regimen, I had an all-natural skincare routine. My skin was crystal clear, except for a bunch of little whiteheads on my cheeks and occasional pimples along my hairline. I decided to buy this to clear up the whiteheads. During the first week, it broke my forehead out like CRAZY. It was gone by the next week, but my skin was insanely dry. I even tried to add jojoba oil to the moisturizer like the instructions said to, but my skin still had dry patches and felt dull and miserable. I continued to use this for about six-seven weeks, to which my skin worsened. I regret using this product so much. I stopped using it and my acne flared up, and I returned to my holistic routine. It's been about a month and my acne is more aggravated and red as ever. My skin is badly scarred and full of dark spots again. I'm so sad, it took me years to clear up my skin and now I'm back to where I started. I have oily-combo skin. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SYSTEM. It ruined my skin, ruined my confidence, and ruined my wallet as well.
