Great until you stop using it..
Ive used the regimen for 3 moths it cleared all my acne except a few pimples, a week after i ran out i started getting my acne back 2 weeks after i have full blown acne, my advice don't but the cleanser its a waste of money just buy the bp and moisturizer. and if you plan to solve your acne in the long term this isn't the product your looking for.

Not for long run

Pros:

no acne

Cons:

no acne ONLY while using it
your skin never gets a break from all the chemicals
just a short time solution

First of all I want to say, I've been dealing with acne for most of my teen years (I'm 24 now)...since I was 15.....I had REALLY bad acne, so I know how it feels not to want to leave the house and crying in the bathroom over this problem. At 18 I used a product similar to this regiment...helped me a lot....cleared my face 85%...I was really pleased. But acne came back WHEN I STOPPED using it. Cca 2 years (maybe 2.5 ) ago I tried The regiment, my cousin was using it so she ordered some for me to. Same as everybody, redness, itchiness, flaking, and in the end no acne. But when I STOPPED USING, it came back. So, in terms of "does it work", yes, this product DOES get you rid of acne. It's a hard chemical that kills everything on your skin...so it kills bacteria and acne too. So if you want to get rid of acne, sure, this product will help you. BUT... Not good for a long run. Sure it's great to have selfesteem and great skin after using The regiment, but consider the fact that you are putting a harsh chemical on your skin everyday..while in the same time trying to help your skin by using lots of moisturizer. It's like killing a person and then bringing him back to life over and over. And when you stop using it, the acne WILL come back ( lots of people who RECCOMEND this product here also say the same, it comes back ). So you need to ALWAYS be using it. You can't live without it if you want nice skin. So basically, you didn't do anything with this. You didn't cure the problem, your masking it for a while. And to use this chemical everyday for years...boy...i don't wanna know what your skin is gonna look like when you youngsters turn like 30-40.... And me....I completely changed the way I eat. I eat much more fruit and vegetables, occasionally take some vitamins, dink A LOOOOOT of water, work out....and my skin....it's sooo beautiful. It took me a while by doing all this things but it was worth it. I get a few pimples around my period but the go away when that's over. So consider whats good for your skin not just in the moment but for the time to come. Good luck to ya ;)

Just didnt work for me
I have been using this product for almost a year now. At first it seen to work but then it just stopped. I continued using it but i got break outs just the same. Not only that my skin got very sensitive to the product, it burn so bad its almost unbearable. My skin is so dry after washing and using the bp to the point it feels as if its going to break. And adding the moisturizer is more torture as it burns my skin as well. Am very disappointing as i was hoping this would work for me.

Pros:

Clears active pimples

Cons:

-Flakiness
-Dryness
-destroys skin tone
-makes hyperpigmentation worse
-once you're on the stuff you're on forever unless you want your acne back

Listen guys, this stuff does clear acne if you're on it long enough. It took me 4 months and I was "pimple free." This does NOT include the terrible dark marks it leaves behind. I would not recommend this if you're looking for a solution for your acne. My face is now starting to get some of it's tone back that the bp destroyed. Once you're finally clear, you would think you could gradually get off the stuff, but no. You're on it for life. I personally think your skin gets addicted to it and has more trouble fighting off acne now that I'm off of it. Bottom line is, I would not recommend this product

Hang in there. It gets worse before it gets better. You need to use it for at least a month to tell if it's workimg

Didnt work for me
I waited for so long before writing this. I have paid a lot of money to get this to Europe, and I have been using it religiously for the last four months, hoping it can change my life due to the amount of good reviews it has online. Before starting this, I had a couple of pimples per week.. nothing dramatic.. I could not still stand it, so I decided to buy this product. I can say that this is the biggest mistake ive ever made. My face is ten times worse than it was. It's all flaky (and no, it didnt disappear with time), and I have pimples in areas i didnt have them before. In the first two months, i thought it could be an initial breakout or so, but no. This product simply didnt work for me. I wish I never bought it.

it works but super duper dry and flaky

Pros:

it somewhat does get rid of pimples

Cons:

super duper dry
flaky and redness on skin
it burns your face

My sisters and I used this product for a month. I stopped after I notice the dryness. My sister kept on using because she wants to get rid of her pimples. It does works but it is super dry. My sister face becone flaky and red. IIt's like she is having an alergic reaction or it is buring her face reallt badly. I'm feling really bad for her b/c she care about her skin a lot. Now this product make her skin look worst than before. It works but you have to suffer a lot. It is up to you to decide wwhether or not you willing to taake that risk

When you cant use the regimen anymore...

Pros:

works

Cons:

cant use it anymore

I loved the regimen... when I could use it. I used one pump every night for about a year and a half before I developed an allergic reaction to it. My eyes got REALLY swollen and itchy (not the normal redness that occurs at the start of the regimen) I had to stop even though I knew I was going to start breaking out again. That really freaked me out so I started to do some research on alternatives. I've tried a lot of recommended products and some weird cooky homemade remedies as well. My acne is mostly hormonal but what I've found to be most affective should work for any type of breakout. I use Burt's Bees Soap Bark and Chamomile face wash twice a day. I use Aveeno daily moisturizer (using non facial moisturizer scared me at first, but its really about finding what YOUR skin likes) in the morning and wipe my face down with lemon juice (bottled is fine) before bed. When I get a spot break out, I soak it in warm salty water with a cotton swap. I ice it and then I cover it in lemon juice and salt and wait for it to dry. Ive also found aspirin dissolved in witches hazel to be affective for relieving redness. In addition, excersizing really seems to help (which is kind of weird I know haha.) Good luck!!

NOTHING SPECIAL
Didn't help for my mild to severe acne. Might work on skin that doesn't break out a lot
