The Acne.org regimen outlined by founder Dan Kern on his website was a godsend to me a few years ago when I was absolutely plagued by cystic acne. For those of you that don't know about it, cystic acne is basically when you have a pimple that sits deep under your skin and fills with pus. The pimple never comes to a head, and so you can not extract the pus and dirt easily. In fact, if you consult a dermatologist about this issue, the first thing they'll tell you is not to try and pop the cyst yourself.
I first found out about this regimen from a friend who had watched a video from Wayne Goss (Gossmakeupartist) on YouTube. When I noticed how clear her skin had become, I was curious to find out what products she was using. From there began my research into how I wanted to use a benzoyl peroxide treatment, which is certainly not for the faint of heart. I chose to purchase the 32 ounce bottle of benzoyl peroxide gel from acne.org, and began using it with Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer on September 19, 2011.
While the process of acclimating to this regimen was quite tough, my skin was about 90% clear a week after I began using it. This was major for me, as I have suffered from acne since the age of 13. I have filmed a YouTube video reviewing this regimen, and I'll link it to this post. The picture below is of the two remaining products I have from my last shipment from Acne.org.

Acne occurs when the pores of your skin become clogged, most often on the face, neck, back, and chest. No one knows exactly why this happens, but we do know that testosterone plays a part, as does heredity
ReplyDeleteYes, my family is definitely plagued with varying forms of acne, which is why I wanted to make sure my viewers understand that I am certainly not "cured". Thanks for the comment!!
