The Regimen: Complete Acne.org Treatment Kit

As you can see from the photo I have moderate cystic acne with bad scarring. After the many interventions, over the counter (Neutrogena, murad etc.), birth control, a 10% BP solution, all sorts of serums, dermatologist prescribed meds, nothing has resolved my acne. I tried the Korean Skincare routine which made my non acne affected skin greatly improve in texture and overall health, but did not touch the stubborn acne. The photos are from the morning after my first application, days 34, 62, and 100 after the morning routine when my skin is as bad as it gets (sorry for the bad lighting). Within one night of using it, my cystic acne started turning into whiteheads which is very uncommon for my skin. This appears to be a repeating event where any red bumps that start to surface inevitably are turning into whiteheads that eventually burst with the lightest of touch. I used neosporin - I find it helps with the scarring and inflammation. I can have eczema patches around my eyes or ears if they get too dry so I have to keep the BP at least 1 inch away from those areas (sometimes the BP migrates with the lotion so be careful there). I started this regimen in late summer so the first week my skin burned anytime I went outdoors hence the sunblock (I really like the Neutrogena daily moisturizer with spf 30). If you can avoid wearing makeup or at the very least only use eye makeup for the first week, I highly recommend doing so. If not, use moisturizing foundations etc. stay away from matte finishes because it will severely dry out your skin and flake. I was able to go back to my matte makeup ~2 weeks in, but not every day or I get flaky. Application: Be diligent on washing your hands (~30sec) any time before touching your face - with that here is my routine. As I mentioned I had great results with the K Skincare routine so I weaved my serums and toners into this routine. I only recommend keeping what you already know works great for you. If wearing makeup, I use a cotton ball with remover (the wipes ended up being too rough). Make sure you get it all off because this face wash is far too gentle to remove make up. I let my skin dry ~10 minutes, wash my hands, and apply my klairs toner. Let that dry ~5 min, wash hands, and then apply my essence. I let this dry for 15 minutes, wash hands, and then apply BP (avoiding eyes and ears). I let this dry for 15 minutes, wash my hands, apply my vita C serum and lotion to areas without BP. Then I start to apply to areas with BP, being careful to not let it migrate. I have also found if the BP gets on my neck, it gives me a light red rash. It took me two weeks before I felt comfortable with using the BP 2x/day and I stopped increasing the amount after about a nickel sized drop. I didn't want to have a terrible reaction to the BP so I took my time and let my skin adjust. I still have a red tint to my skin, light sunburn type, but really is only noticeable under bright fluorescents. The BP is very harsh and drying on your skin, but if you're like me and very desperate for a resolution, this system works. I give every skin care routine 3-4 months to control my acne. At first I did not like the lotion that came with this product as it really did not do a great job and definitely could not stand up to winter use. Winter for me consists of 15-35 F so I purchased the jojoba oil from the same manufacturer as the price was competitive compared to other, similar products on amazon. I used it as the company instructed, mixing 5 drops into my lotion step, but had okay results. I got a separate clear plastic bottle to mix them (lotion and oil) and had vast improvements. I think my skin needed more so I mixed them to a consistency where if I flip the bottle upside down, the mixture will fairly rapidly fall. This keep my skin hydrated in the single digits days we've been getting with zero flakes. If you have dry skin, buy the oil! It really will save you on going through the itchy, red, flaky period and BONUS it's great to put on chapped lips before bed during winter months From my photos, this system obviously works! I did go through the "it gets worse, before getting better" period but at around two months in I had a lot of improvement that only continued. At 100 days in I maybe get one blemish per month and it will go away within a week. When wearing just a foundation (no concealer) my skin looks amazing and you can't even really see my discoloration or scarring. I would 10/10 recommend this to anyone who suffers as I did (finally past tense) from acne. Goodluck and Cheers!

First I'd like to say that growing up, I never had acne. My skin was flawless during my teens. Once I hit my mid 20's, I began getting these big breakouts that would never rise. They'd last on my skin for weeks, and hurt. Then they'd slowly start to reduce in size and ultimately leave a dark scar on my face. Hence, Cystic Acne. This past year I discovered Acne.org and am now a HUGE fan of the site. THANK YOU DAN!!! If only I'd found it sooner. I spent countless hours perusing the site, reading product reviews, browsing forums, and trying all the new natural remedies out there. I found solace in reading others success stories. By 26 I thought my acne would subside but it was only getting worse. I would say my acne was moderate, though I was never without a cyst on my face. One goes away, another one starts. So, I began my quest in finding a solution. I can say I have tried every kind of natural home remedy on the market. Lemon juice toner, apple cider vinegar toner, calamine lotion, castor oil/olive oil cleanse, tea tree oil, sulfur, salicylic, you name it. I also started taking vitamins like Primrose oil, a multi-vitamin and drinking Rooibos tea. It's unclear if any of those helped me. Perhaps I was trying too much on my face which was causing more inflammation. All I know is that one night, I brokedown. I spent hours reading Acne.org Regimen reviews, watching numerous Youtube videos and I decided I had nothing to lose. I bought the Regimen and looked forward to starting it. After continued use of all three products, twice a day, I can confidently say my skin is now clear. It's been almost 10 weeks and I haven't had any breakouts in about 3 weeks. Occasionally, I'll get a small breakout but it rises really fast and dries up in a day or two. I never thought my skin would be soft again! I honestly didn't think it would work. There were some rough patches but I kept on going and am happy that I did. Like past reviewers, here's how my skin felt each week. Week 1: No huge changes, other than mild dryness. Week 2: Really dry skin, especially in T-zone areas. Itchy and flaky with makeup. Week 3: Still really dry. At this point, I was using Jojoba oil as a toner before my moisturizer and still adding a few drops of oil when moisturizing. Very flaky with makeup. Week 4: The dryness started to subside. Jojoba was working really well. I experimented with AHA this week but when I did it burned my skin really bad. Then I read reviews to wait a few weeks before using so I waited. Week 5: I noticed my skin really soft. Much softer than before. No real big breakouts, only small ones that dried up fast. Skin was not as dry. Week 6: Began using AHA twice a week as a moisturizer at night only. LOVE THIS STUFF!! Skin is officially better with dryness. My makeup is no longer cakey (except under the eye area). Make sure to add an eye cream. This has helped me tremendously. Week 7-10: I have clear skin! I haven't had a cyst in a few weeks. Skin is no longer dry. My advice to you: stick to the plan and push yourself to get past the dry patches. In my case, it lasted for a month, but once I got past that 4 weeks, I was on the right track to softer more hydrated skin. It's IMPERATIVE to use the moisturizer. Do not be afraid of it. I purchased the AHA from the start after reading past reviews but regretted using it so soon. It did burn at first, and like Dan says, wait until a few weeks or months before using it. I use it now only twice a week at night and my skin has never felt softer the next morning. I no longer use the Jojoba oil daily, only once in a while. One thing I'll note is I haven't increased the amount of BP. I'm using the same amount as I started with, maybe less now. I find that I am OK with this. If you are considering it and feel you've tried everything else there is, I highly recommend the Regimen. For the price, it's a great value and so far has lasted me two months, used morning and night every single day. It's worth a shot! Best of luck to you :)

Wow... (First of all excuse my un perfect english as i am french but i am sure you ll understand) I am 23, I have oily skin and acne for about 7 years. My acne is moderate but for some reasons when my skin is very inflammated turns to severe. My acne is hormonal as i have clear skin one week a month. I break out one week before my periods and then it takes like 2 weeks to clear up. I was using BP 5 before the regimen but it didn t worked so well, it was helping reduce the size of my blemishes but that is it, i was scrubbing my face 4-6 times a week which is a lot, i was doing clay masks 2 times a week and was so desperate that i would use every product which promised to clear the acne...a disaster... It s been a month that i am using the regimen and I LOVE MY SKIN!! THANK U to all the acne.org team!!!!! My skin has balanced. I started on february 18th, i am using the regimen am and pm and try to be as gentle as possible. I am not using exfoliants and scrubs etc... On day 2 i broke out, But i was mentally prepared and motivated to stick to the regimen during at least 3 month. It was mainly tiny white bumps on my chin and around my mouth. I also had a huge cyst. Day 7- my skin was dry as f...!!! I felt that my skin was thick and very very dry so i was mixing the moisturizer with jojoba oil and i would put it on my face at night by gently massaging first and as it penetrates into the skin very quickly and doesn t let any oily feeling i would add a second thick layer of the same mixture so it can be absorbed by my skin during the night... I still have blemishes but they heal quicker than before. Week 2- my skin is still dry and i still have around 5 blemishes in every side of my face plus 4 blemishes on my chin that are just permanently here hahaha...the day they will go away is the day i will know that this regimen is the bomb! Week 3- wow...amazed...my pores are now so 'normal'. i decided to add an extra tool, though not recommended by Dan...my olay gentle face brush at night to get rid of the dead skin...i felt like my skin needed this extra push to be clearer...it didn t broke me out as i make sure not to rub that much. Week 4- march 15th...my skin is definitely not as dry as it was on week 2, now my skin is thinner, soother and so smooth, even under a bright light i am no longer afraid to look at my skin actually i love it, my confidence is back, i can look people in the eyes, compliments are coming from everywhere, "you look good, you are beautiful today" etc...i am no longer afraid to walk around with no make up on, i am not ashamed when my boyfriend want to touch my face, i feel good about myself and that is price less, i enjoy doing my makeup now, and thank s god i don t have deep scars at all just dark spots but when i put some councealer i have a baby skin you can t even tell that i once had acne. Plus the moisturizer fades dark spots and even tone the skin. I am still using the regimen religiously and as summer is around the corner i will buy cetaphil moisturizer which contain spf for AM and i also want to try the AHA from acne.org To sum up: i am amazed and HOPE that it will continue because one month is not so much but i am positive because not one product i have been using in my life (proactiv, BP 5, effaclar, etc) have made my skin look that good! The cleanser last me 1 month it is almost over The BP is still full The moisturizer will last me one more month

I wish i had listened to the bad reviews before buying this product, I blame no one but my self, I am an idiot i should have done more research first, but my misfortune is to your Benefit. I want to start off by saying PLEASE do not use benzoyl peroxide on your face or anywhere on your body for that matter. This stuff will make your acne worse that is my promise to you! your skin will develop scaring easily and will greatly delay the healing process for your hyper-pigmentation, acne marks/scars, redness, and cause wrinkling. If you thought you had bad acne you haven't seen anything yet!! your skin will damage and get 1000x worse then what it is now that is another promise. There is always a natural safe way to heal acne, something is causing your acne you just need to find out what that is! PLEASE continue reading to hear my story and what happend to me and thousands of other people that have used this product and are trying to find ways to heal their skin back to normal. I had Low - mild surface acne, no more then 3-4 small surface pimples, no scars on my face to begin with, and also suffered from clogged puffy congested pores, I found this regimen and it claimed to make your skin smooth, clear, and acne free!! whats not to love about all those things. so i bit the bullet and went for it, I started this Regimen on November of 2017, i used it for 2 weeks without any problems and i could already tell that my surface pimples were decreasing, and no further ones came up. after the first 2 weeks I got my very first CYSTIC ACNE, it hurt like hell and was very deep in the skin, this was a shock to me so i went online and everyone including the creator DAN said it is normal and it will clear its self, this is part of the regimen?? so i was skeptical but i continued because there was 80% of people saying its normal. but there was my mistake I should have quit right there and then, instead of continuing because my face just kept getting worse from there! on week 3 i got an extra 2 cysts week 4 i got 3 more extra cysts and every week from then on i kept getting increased amount of cystic acne I DID THIS FOR 3 WHOLE MONTHS until i stopped in February of 2018! When i stopped the treatment my face went mental and i started to get more and more acne on every section of my face more so on the thinner areas like around chin/jaw, middle of eye brows, around mouth and nose, i researched and found from people who have used this before that you should not stop abruptly, but instead slowly decrease your BP usage over the course of 1-2 months, or your face will go mental because it is so use to the BP it needs it to continue balancing your skin. why cant sellers warn us of all the negative effects of a product instead of just telling us the good quality's of the product? anyways MY FACE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED!!!! I now have SEVERE DEEP ACNE SCARING all over my face as well as my face is now sensitive to light and anything to the touch + irritation all over my skin and facial hair area's.I am still currently suffering from this still, my face has slowly decreased the amount of cyst since I stopping the benzoyl peroxide treatment but i still get at least 1 or 2 new cysts every week, along with 15-20 surface pimples/whiteheads, and 10-15 comodomes under the skin that don't go away easily either. This has hit me like a train going 500kms/h and i honestly caused me to spiraled into depression, i don't go out in public anymore, I quit my job temporarily to find a resolution to this, and i distanced my self from all my friends and family because i cant bare them to see me like this.... The worst part of all this is I wake up every morning hateing myself because i chose to do this, and i will never forgive myself for doing so.... Some of you might think i'm going over board because its just ANCE but if you saw how i look before and after you would be shocked at how bad it became and not only that but i continue to get Cysts and severe acne all over my face week after week after week with no end in sight, . if anyone has any suggestions on how i can help heal my skin faster or what i can use to speed the hyperpigmentation process please let me know i am trying to find a way out but everywhere i look people are telling me it takes years for your skin to heal back to normal. LASTLY please i beg of you, do not make the same mistake I did, find a way to heal your acne the natural way do your research first, there are lots of tips out there, from Diet, cleanliness, stress, Birth control pills, working out and a lot more. if i helped change 1 persons mind by writing this review then i am happy and i have done my part. From my knowledge and research this does not only pertain to Acne.org Regemin, this is all benzoyl peroxide/retin A/retinoid treatments and ingredients, but everyone's skin is different and my experience was with benzoyl peroxide. even if there is a 1% chance that your skin could react badly to something you should not do it! If you are reading this and you are on the acne.org regemin or benzoyl peroxide treatment please don't just stop the treatment just like that, you must slowly decrease your usage over the course of a few months and then stop or else your skin will go mental and self destruct. Thank you for reading to the end and i hope this helped you.

I've been holding off on writing this review because I was positive my face would adjust to the Acne.org Regmin and would go back to the way it was, if not worse, when I started using these products. There aren't enough good things I can say about Acne.org. For the last 18 years of my life, I'm currently 28, I've had awful pale skin: extremely prone to redness (to the point where people think I have a rash if I just quickly scratch an itch), very oily skin all over my face except around my eyes which are always dry, and horribly prone to break outs which most heavily affected around my mouth,jaw and forehead. "Time of the month" didn't matter, I was always broken out, though I'm sure hormones and stress were some of the biggest factors. I've seen dermatologists (biggest waste of money), tried over the counter remedy soaps (unscented, antibacterial, sensitive, etc- nothing), Proactiv (everything got 2x worse), Clarsonic and light treatment. Those last two showed the best improvement, but my skin only got about 20% better. Because everything I tried in the past, I thought Acne.org would just be more of the same. The reason I decided to give it a go was their website. They had a lot of information/explanations I'd never seen before and structure around their program. They also talk about alternative drugstore options which I'd never seen before. This was the best decision I ever made. My face as actually been clear about 5 months now with only 1 pimple I can actually recall. For me that's completely unheard of. Every time my mom sees me says she can't believe how good my face looks and she was always the first to point out how bad my skin looked, which only made me a lot more insecure. (What happened to your face? Doesn't that hurt?). To hear my mom now tell me how good it looks whenever she sees me is AMAZING. There are a few things that are critical to keep in mind with these products which all go back to things they mention on their website: follow their steps and suggestions! 1- Be really gentle with your skin while using this stuff. For me this was particularly important at the beginning month to month and a half, which is the hardest part of starting this product. Like just about all other acne treatments you have to give it a month or two because your skin is purging. Which leads to 2: your skin will get worse before it gets better and I've yet to come across anyone say differently. I personally had a huge problem with flaking and dryness (which looks even worse when you put make up on top of it). I contribute some of I felt was excessive dryness to the fact that I was taking Pantothenic Acid capsules which are also good for acne. To help with the dryness and even out my skin tone I started using Acne.org AHA Lotion. And that brings me to my final point; 3- start off SLOW with SMALL amounts of Treament and AHA (if you decide to use it) because it is easy to use too much and feel like your face is going to burn off. you need to work up to the larger amounts. You can always add a little more to your face if you didn't get enough out of the tube/bottle at first, but once you put too much of this stuff on it feels near impossible to cool off your face even after trying to wash it off. Now that I'm several months into using the products, I feel like I can be a little more flexible in my routine. The only thing I'm really thinking about changing is to maybe find a thicker moisturizer for winter. But I do like that their moisturize has a yellow tinge since it helps neutralize redness. Like my title says: my miracle product. I refuse to stop using this for a long time and I tell everyone I can about this stuff. Bravo Acne.org.
