It seems that I have tried everything - Proactive, SkinID, visiting dermatologists, Neutrogena, Clean & Clear, Purpose, Cetaphil, Differin....the list goes on and on but nothing has worked for a long period of time. In fact, I truly believe my skin is suffering from my high levels of stress and until I can de-stress, I will just not have clear skin. However, I'm willing to give these products above a try since there are so many rave reviews!
Dan Kern, founder of Acne.org, does not push you to purchase his products. In fact, he also recommends many drugstore products to use as substitutes. However, even with the drugstore products, it is KEY to follow the regimen precisely; the main idea is to be as gentle as possible with your skin.
To be honest, the moisturizer is intimidating me since it contains Jojoba Oil. I have never in my life willingly applied oil to my face! However, after some research, I have found that when jojoba oil is applied to the skin, it can trick the skin into believing it produces enough oil. As a result, there is balanced oil production. Maybe this is exactly what I need?
Who knows! But I will give it a try and let you know how it goes after a few weeks!
Month 4 Update: I absolutely love the Regimen. If you have any doubts, please stick with it.....it will be worth it!
Month 8 Update: Still in love...I haven't had one break out in 4 months! I can't believe it!
