Be patient, be consistent, and be gentle with your skin

I just finished my 3rd week on the regimen and I couldn't be happier with the results. I had never experienced severe acne, I had more of a moderate acne which would get a little worse around that time of the month and my skin used to be super red all the time, especially around my cheeks and chin. The first week and onto the 2nd week on the regimen I got a little breakout (as it is stated on the acne.org website) and i had read about that prior to starting the regimen so I did not freak out. But that cleared up very quickly. My face got super super super dry and flaky at the end of 1st week and all 2nd week. I went on youtube and search for videos and found that some people who use the regimen use some sort of face oil to exfoliate. (keep in mind, I haven't started using the AHA glycolic acid yet because the instructions says to start that only after being on the regimen for a month) So since I use jojoba oil with the moisturizer to help with dryness, I did what people suggested on youtube and went ahead and exfoliated my face using just jojoba oil and my finger tips (gently doing circular motions all over my face) It worked! This happened the 3rd week. My skin is naturally oily but im loving the extra moister because of how dry I got from the benzoyl peroxide(the treatment). I haven't been able to wear any makeup, I did try putting on makeup and it just looked terrible due to the peeling and dryness. But I do not care at this point, my skin is acne free, the only thing I gotta work on from now on is fading the scarring from old acne. SO FAR SO GOOD. Thank you Acne.org for boosting up my confidence and self-esteem. I hope that in a couple of weeks I can wear some makeup though, I miss getting all dolled up :) <3 

The reason I gave it 4 stars is because I haven't been on the regimen for that long and I believe my skin will get even clearer and smoother as time goes.

Regimen reciew

Two days after beginning the regimen, I was receiving compliments that my skin was significantly clearer. It?s been about a year and three months since I?ve started, and my skin is at its best in a while, but I feel like my face has grown accustomed to the treatment and won?t improve from where it is now. The regimen still did amazing work though!

BE PATIENT!

Please read this if you are giving up on the regimen!!! This product has honestly changed my life, After battling with cystic acne for 6 years and visiting the doctors around 10+ times regarding my skin issues, I believed this was going to be with me forever. A nine month round of antibiotics cleared my acne extremely well until I finished and the pimples returned, albeit not quite as terrible as before. I had tried Dan?s regimen earlier in 2018 but gave up after experiencing a horrid breakout during exams (caused mainly by stress I think). In February 2019 my acne started to come back, and I turned again to the regimen for a second attempt. The first 3 months were awful. My skin was red, flaking and irritated. I developed eczema on my neck and jawline and I couldn?t smile without it cracking and peeling off. Considering I was at uni and wanted to go out with friends and have fun it was the worst timing ever. After seeing absolutely ZERO improvement after month 3 was over I emailed the acne.org support team as a final attempt to restore hope and motivation to continue the regime. They replied telling me if I kept going I would experience clear skin, so I stuck at it. I kid you not, by the end of month 4 my skin was 85% clear. When I did have a pimple, it was no longer cystic, just a slightly inflamed clogged pore. Now in month 6/7, I have never been so happy with my skin. The irritation is gone and I am 90% clear or active acne. It would be dishonest if I said I never get acne...I probably get one tiny pimple a week and 3-4 medium sized pimples a month but overall this regimen has worked literal miracles on my face. My advice is to not give up even if you?re months in!! I was so disheartened when I saw people?s great results after a matter of weeks. All our skin is different and some just take longer than others. Trust the process!!

Good products but non suitable packaging

My box arrived crushed, the products had opened and poured into the box. So I had less product and it was disappointing. The containers should be more suitable, especially for international transport. Otherwise I used this kit for 1 month and I was surprised at its effectiveness I would recommend it!

Honestly try it, if it works, you're in very good hands. It worked for me and I changed the moisturizer because it wasn't for me but moisturizers are unique for many different skin types/people so I heard;therefore don't knock it till you try it. The Cleanser (step 1) and Treatment (step 2) is what works. Like from human to human not a scam and they are known as top treatments from other sources. Um also it gets worse before it gets better I'm 1 month and two weeks in. Hopefully it works for you all. Good luck.

It's decent
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.

saved my confidence
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!!!

Two month review
I'm on my second week of using these products and things are going well. The first week my skin was very dry, burned, and flaky but my acne was clearing up. There was even a day when I had no active acne! A first for me in a long time! However now the second week I am having a small breakout. Which they said is normal. I have two or three large pimples and clogged pores on my nose but the rest of my skin seems to be doing okay. I have to say I do enjoy the cleanser and how effortlessly it cleans my skin. Unlike any cleanser I've used before. Although it tends to dry out my face. The benzoyl peroxide goes on clear which is good and haven't experienced any bleaching with it yet. The moisturizer is also good as it doesn't irritate my skin or make it greasy. What I like most about these products is their ability to control the skins oil production. My skin is extremely oily and have never been able to control it until now and I've tried everything out there. What I dislike most is how much of each product I have to use which makes me feel I will run out quickly. (This stuff is expensive). My skin looks mostly like what it did before but less oily and slightly smoother. I will update in a couple weeks to track the progress. 1 MONTH UPDATE I have been using the regimen for a month and I still feel like I'm waiting to see the full effect of these products. I still get acne (maybe from stress?) but my skin is overall smoother. I am no longer dry but I am not oily either. I also have less clogged pores than before. I am now applying a generous amount of BP coating the skin entirely. One thing to note these products do nothing to fade acne scars. In fact the scars I've been getting are almost worse than before and are taking a while to fade. The acne seems to form quicker with these products but they don't fade any quicker. Definitely nothing dramatic but there's small positive changes. Still hoping I can get completely clear. 2 MONTH UPDATE Skin is acne free for the most part and have only broke out once in the past month. However every acne has left a bad mark so I don't feel like my skin is truly clear. I am currently searching for something to help the scarring while staying on the regimen (aha has not helped much). I am also concerned of skin discoloration another user has mentioned. I've noticed a slight unpleasant tan but didn't think anything of it until I saw another review about it. My skin is also somewhat rough and dry even with moisturizer. It's especially apparent when I apply sunscreen (needed on the regimine). Despite causing some addition skin concerns, overall I am impressed with the results and it has been a positive experience.

After 2 week did your skin become better already?
November 1, 2017
I've been considering buying the regime. Thank you for your update. What scares me is that there seems to be a lot of side effects to the overall good result. I have moderate acne and I don't want my skin to get worse...I ordered the travel size benzoyl peroxide and will use it with my regular skincare routine to see if that alone will make a difference. I know that in the past when I used benzoyl peroxide, I didn't put it all over my face just on the effected areas. And I used very little BP (I always used like a pea-size amount and never increased it) even though my dermatologist told me to put it all over my face. I never followed those instructions because it is crazy drying to my skin. So just applying BP to the pimple prone areas was good enough and I had pleasant results from it. I hope I will achieve similar results again.

Not bad
The face wash doesn't seem to have anything on it, and the moisturizer is good for hydration. Also the regimen works well! you just have to keep using it in order for your acne to stay away which is kind of annoying. I've been using the regimen alone with only using the moisturizer when I need it and it has faded most of my dark-spots. I recommend the regimen ! Maybe the moisturizer, if you truly have dry skin, otherwise your skin stays oily throughout the day. I don't recommend the face wash though.
