Another "cure" that doesn't treat the root of the problem...:
Desperately, I tried Dan Kern's Regimen. It DID completely clear my skin for about 6 weeks and worked better than any other external treatment I have ever tried. Unfortunately, I gradually started developing pimples/breakouts again and, no matter how much of the BP I applied to my skin, the pimples would NOT go away. In fact, the breakouts were so much more stubborn than they were BEFORE I started the treatment that NOTHING would make them go away. I had 2 huge pimples on the side of my face that took 6... more info
Some observations:
Everything in this book, which basically explains the "clear skin" regimen, is available on Dan Kern's website (acne.org) for FREE, making this book a pointless purchase in itself.

Some things I've noticed after using the regimen: PROS: 1) If you have never used benzoyl peroxide (2.5%) before, you will most likely get good results overall.

Finally:
Dan's skin care regimen is the only thing that has worked for my acne - I tried everything from Proactiv to oral medications like Acutane.

Good, but...:
His method really did work to clear up my acne but my skin was also very dry no matter how much moisturizer I used. I've had moderate acne for about 15yrs and have tried everything like most other people. Right now I'm using just a basic cleanser (Cetaphil) and pure grapeseed oil as a moisturizer and drying agent and it's working out okay. I read about in Earthly Bodies & Heavenly Hair by Falconi which I highly recommend for natural skin care ideas. (Also you can get most of the info on Kern's website.)
