 still in progress, but good news......., 2008-05-23
I am 22 years old and I thought I had cured my acne by taking accutane years ago when I was 16. My acne reappeared 3 years later not as worse but still bad and I started taking accutane for the second time which I don't recommend to anybody unless your acne is Severe severe or cannot be cured by this program which is a small chance. My acne surprisingly reappeared once again. So as you can imagine my acne is not that severe but is very persistant. This program is working very well so far.
This program works as long as you follow it to the letter and if you buy the right acid concentrations, including the key steps that are the sun block of 15 or higher and the ice
The last step of that program tells you to use the ice packs and bp gel, and then leave the rest of bp gel on your face for the rest of the night, but how do you do if you wanna go out at night? well, what I did and has worked so far is to run the ice cubes over my face and then put your ice pack but do not put bp gel just to get rid of those inflammations. Do not do this all the time, though, since your bp is what kills the bacteria, you dont wanna go out all the time haha just every once in a while or every weekend. It is worthy to say no sometimes. Remember it only takes 6 weeks so do the sacrifice. Another and I think the most important thing is,you know, as this doctor explains that there are several types of acne. well, mine I think is psychological since I keep squeezing even though I know it worsens my acne. I hate those white heads but, indeed, what I am doing is prolonguing my situation, so extremely important that you don't touch your face at all. Don't get weak and start squeezing. they will go away and leaving a markless face if you follow the program.
I've been doing so for 2 weeks and my face has gotten way better. It looks different, it looks healthy.

 simple, 2008-05-12
ok. morning: wash affected area with salycylic acid soap or apply salycylic liquid + drop of water. wash with warm water. apply an SPF moisturizer. night: wash with salycyclic acid soap. ice the affected area until it becomes cool to the touch. immediately afterwards, apply cold benzoil peroxide gel. immediately afterwards, apply ice bag and keep the skin cold for about 15 minutes. let the remaining BP work overnight. why the long instructions? jeez.

conclusion pending, 2008-03-18
As of today, I've done the first part of the program for 10 weeks. I've only gotten two or three pimples a week for a month, and they go away more easily than they used to. Let's call it a 70-80% improvement. The products I used were Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash (2% salicylic acid), Paula's Choice 8% Alpha Hydroxy Gel (8% glycolic acid, no salicylic acid), Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (2.5% benzoyl peroxide), and Eucerin Extra Protective Moisture Lotion (SPF 30, non-comedogenic).
I'm moving onto the maintenance program to see what happens. I'll be using Peter Thomas Roth Glycolic Acid 3% Facial Wash, NutriBiotic Face Creme (alpha lipoic acid, DMAE, vitamin c ester, tocotrienol), and the same moisturizer. Updates in 2-3 weeks.

Very pleased, 2008-02-08
Book was in good shape. So far the treatment seems to be working, but it may be too early to tell. Lot's of good helpful information. My teenager is reading the book herself and applying the treatment, however I had to get one of the ingredients from a local compounding pharmacy with a prescription.

I Didn't Believe Anybody Could Help Me, 2008-01-31
When I first saw this book at the library, I thought, "Yeah, but not for me." I struggled with acne as a pre-teen (12) and tried everything my pediatrician told me. Only "growing up" helped me. I got it back at age 40, so bad I wouldnt let my boyfriend see me in regular light (he said he didn't care, but...). I checked the book out and by the second chapter, I went online and purchased the book for myself. I had to have it and I still swear by it. (His comment about "feeling your face every morning before getting out of bed" really hit me. I thought I was the only person that did that!)
He suggests 95% of the cases can be virtually cured. I thought surely I was in the 5%. Within TWO DAYS I saw improvement! Within two weeks, when I saw my family doctor for a general appointment, she didn't understand why I was concerned about my now minimal acne, but recommended a dermatologist. By the time of my appointment with the derm., about six weeks into the program, I had no acne to show him. But he was happy to prescribe a $100 face wash. Forget it--I didn't buy it.
Yes, it takes time every day. If you were in my position, and apparently many are, it's worth it. In my case, after I was acne-free, I didn't need to follow it daily. I found the amounts recommended most helpful..."twice the active ingredient" does not necessarily mean it will help twice as good. This was helpful news.
This book worked for me! One note, however, in my state (IN), you can't get one of the components, glycolic acid, without a prescription. I got one from my family doc. She, thought his plan made sense. But I had to go to the hospital pharmacy because no local pharm had anything close, even with a script. It turned out I didn't need it, but it was very inexpensive (about $20)for a prescription med. The important thing is to identify what kind of acne you have. I had two types but not all three, which is why I didn't need the glycolic acid. That's the trick and it explained why treatments as a child didn't help--my pediatrician was only treating one. This book was a godsend for me! I still get an occasional small breakout, but the "plan" sets me back on track.
