I've been using some advices from Dan's routine (acne.org) for about 3-4 weeks now. I'm washing my face very gently with very mild cleanser (Cetaphil Skin Cleanser) twice a day. In the morning I follow it by a moisturizer, 5-10 min after washing. In the evening I also used to put a very tiny amount of clindoxyl gel (with 5% benzol peroxide) all over my face. This step was in between cleansing and moisturizing. It seemed to work very well. However I wanted to use 2.5% benzol peroxide, which is very hard to find in a store.
I ordered Dan's kit that includes cleanser, treatment lotion, and moisturizer. Finally it arrived today. I was so excited. I've just tried it and I'm not very impressed. The cleanser left my face very dry. I followed it with a small amount of treatment, which absorbed very well and was ok. Moisturizer took a long time to absorb and now 15 min later my face is very shiny. I will probably not use this moisturizer for daytime. This is only my first time using the product. I'll stick to it for a few days and maybe I'll like it.
My advice to any person with acne is to be very very very gentle. Wash your face at most twice a day, and always use a moisturizer. I've learned it the hard way. I used to wash my face four times a day. I used different masks and home remedies for acne and it only aggravated it. I would definitely recommend to watch Dan's videos and read about his regimen. There are many useful tips there. You can easily modify his regimen as I did. Just watch how your skin reacts to a product or routine and modify it accordingly.
