Thanks for checking it out! Maine is a special place.

Unfortunately Accutane destroys the natural lubrication of your skin...so that will be the case for some time. I would follow the advice to do everything in your power to not further dry out your skin. The swipe method will help in the long run with scarring as a sort of dermabrasion, but I'm afraid it will take time as well. Wishing you all the best.

That is awesome!! Appreciate you taking a chance and finding success. Spread the word.

I did, no particular reason but wanted to shift focus over here (I was still getting a ton of inquiries via reddit). Rea;;y happy to hear you are seeing success, look forward to hearing future progress. And exactly right regarding the swipe routine, well done.

Listening now, thank you!

Hey sorry I missed it. How are things going now? If your skin is still oily I would reduce the swipe method to every other day (if not every few days) and adjust accordingly. The entire theory here is less is more and if you are still oily that means your skin is compensating for being overly dry. Hope that helps.

@@seanmauceri4249 Hi, thanks for answering! So it's been over 2 months so far and I can say that I am still definitely getting pimples. I still have been getting pustules on my forehead and cheeks and got a small one recently on my nose. For a while I was getting a lot near my eye brows but I think that has lessened a little. Most of my pustules are on my chin and jawline area ( especially my right jawline ) which makes me believe this is hormonal acne. I never sleep using a pillow and have been doing the swiping method with cold water only every other day or just a few times per week. I only wet my face with cold water and do the swiping at night. About a month ago I also started using oil blotting sheets and have been using 2-3 sheets per day. I still get quite oily but the sheets help remove a lot of oil that is produced constantly. Overall, I don't think my acne has gotten worse since I stopped the use of cleansers/moisturizer but I don't think it has necessarily gotten any better either. I'm probably going to try this for one more month (until October 13th) which will make it a total of 3 months on this regimen. If I'm still getting acne by then which I think is very likely (especially on my jawlines) I'm thinking about using cleansers again but not daily. I'm not sure if that would be the right move after 3 months or if I should try to continue the regimen. I heard that results for this usually show around 2-3 months so if by my 3rd month I'm still getting acne, maybe this regimen isn't working for me. I'd like to hear your thoughts. Thank you!

Just take a quick shower use COLD water to wash away the sweat...a splash of cold water via the sink is fine too.

Also would this method work for body, butt acne? Like I’m taking about nodular cystic body acne.

Sunscreen is not ideal for the same reasons given for moisturizer, but some people need to use it due to their skin type, which is unavoidable.

Cold water is fine yeah!

Keep us in the loop, you got this!

It won't let me edit again so I'm gonna have to post the update down here* I'm not sure what day it is exactly but I think its somewhere around 2+ weeks. My skin honestly looks so good right now, like its 70% healed and most of my bad acne scarring on my forehead has just disappeared as well as my hyperpigmentation. I started taking vitamin d about a week and a half into this and I believe it was what pushed my skin to the next level coupled with getting no soap on my face and the swiping technique. This will be probably my last update, but I can officially say that this technique does in fact work. (The vitamin d part is essential I believe.) Good luck everyone on their journey to good skin and please do yourself a favor and try this technique for at least 2 weeks, you won't regret it.

Wishing you well, keep us updated!

Any updates?

@@WoWTips4u I'd definitely say it's improved. No new cysts have formed in my usual spots so I'm mainly dealing with the scarring that was left behind which seems to slowly be fading. In general I'd say my face is a lot less irritated. It's only been 3 weeks so I'm still skeptical but so far, it's been an improvement yeah.

@@Cirby64 Great to hear. I'm about a week in and have noticed significant fades in my pigmentation and no new acne. I'll be continuing it but will be reducing the swipe method to around 3-4 times a week (as opposed to daily), as my skin is somewhat oily in the evening. Best of luck with your journey.

Unfortunately not. I understand that's not possible for some skin types/lifestyles ect, but it defeats the purpose of this method.

update: my skin is still oily in the mornings especially on the forehead. I definitely feel like I'm getting a lot more small whitehead pimples as well, especially on the forehead once again.

I don't really feel as if my skin is improving as I'm still getting pimples. Mostly on my forehead, cheeks, chin, and right jawline. It's been around 3 weeks.

I truly believe less is more and I don't think we need to be dependent on any product what so ever. Hope that helps.

@@seanmauceri4249 thanks again for the info

So awesome to hear it, spread the word!

Thank you for the kind words, just trying to help others from making the mistakes I made. Wishing you well, keep us updated and good luck!!

You certainly can try, but I don't think it would do much good. The entire idea here is there is nothing to be relied upon other than the occasional swipe to exfoliate. Let the skin naturally balance out and remove any source that might be drying you out, leading to an increase in oil production.

@@seanmauceri4249 Thanks man. Will do.

@@mohashemzadeh8334 Anytime, keep us in the loop!

Hey thanks for the comment, wishing you well! I ONLY use Dr.Bronners soap. ONLY! Understandably my skin is very delicate it seems and any conventional soap dries me out like crazy (scalp, nether regions ect.). Dr. Bronners is the only product I've found that doesn't do this. Most importantly it is excellent at creating suds, unlike every other so called natural soap out there (commercial soap uses SLS, an engine degreaser to create suds). Good luck!

You've got this!! Keep us in the loop.

Good luck, you've got this!! To so many I say, what do you have to lose!? Enjoy your summer.

Have you tried any electric razors that shave vs trim? That might be your best solution. I can't recommend any shaving cream in particular that wouldn't be drying unfortunately, but open to any suggestions if others have a recommendation.

​@@seanmauceri4249 Thank you for the response. I have not tried the electric razor that shaves, but I can try. I have a few more questions. Can you water shave with a two blade? Also, in the colder months if your skin gets dry what would you do or does the skin just naturally balance out?

Your call, keep it simple and don't stress it regardless. I workout all the time and think little to nothing of getting sweaty now and again. I go on 4 hour bike rides, spending all day outside in the elements. Any sense of a routine or concern for my skin is a complete after thought in this regard. A quick splash of cold water is fine if you feel the need to refresh yourself. Hope this helps!

Wishing you well and I'm confident it will help you!

I am all in favor of vitamins! Ideally best found via healthy organic foods and vegetables, but I do take zinc, multi, c, d, fish oil ect...as most all should!

Been a while since I've been on here obviously, just trying to catch up with the comments. Any update for us?

@@seanmauceri4249 well my skin hasn’t cleared up yet, even though it’s way less oily since i started following your tips. I think I have to eradicate most of the bacteria that are present at the moment with the help of antibiotics. Once my face clears up (hopefully), I will still follow your routine because I think it will help my skin the most if it can regulate itself. I think it just needs a small push to get rid of the bacteria. With their current numbers it may be too hard for the skin to defend on its own. But I have a feeling that once their numbers are down, they won’t be reproducing so easily because my skin has gotten less oily thanks to your advice. Let’s hope for the best haha!

Personally I recommend one NOT use any moisturizers, but I do think if your skin is desperately dry it is worth experimenting with.

@@seanmauceri4249 I have to say this has cured my acne completely (didn't use any creams or soaps), I didn't have bad acne at all but would have discolouring and the odd white head but that has all gone away finally. Thankyou so much!! The only thing now is the season is changing from autumn to winter now and my skin is getting really dry and flaky I was just wondering if you experienced the same thing during season changes and if you did how long did it take your skin to adjust?

@@MultiTheswede Heck yeah!! Very glad to hear it. I experience the same and in the drier months tend to skip the swipe method to every other day or every few days. Once in a great while I will moisturize, something I was initially against and thankfully don't see any negative effects. Thanks for sharing and spread the good word!!

Word right ? Because I’m wondering if the swipe method is effective in getting rid of the dirt alone

Let me know if You found anything that works my Situation is really similar to yours

Sorry to read this! I suppose it is not for everyone, but I do believe my principle is sound. Any update here given it's been 2 months??

A little bit of cold water is perfectly fine. Just a general rule to avoid hot water streaming on the face for any period of time. I swim ect. with no concern of water, just when it's hot as it will strip the natural oils on our face (have you ever tried to clean dishes with hot water vs cold?).

Hey Israel, ultimately I think 90% of this is simply avoiding soap, hot water, products or anything that will dry out your skin, leading to an increase in oil production. Are you shaving above the beard line or doing anything that might irritate this area? Maybe you figured something out that you can share given this comment was made 3 months ago? Anyhow hope all is well!

Sadly I did. My skin was BAD...so it took a solid year plus to fade and disappear. I do believe the swipe method will help in this regard, as it will act as a long term dermabrasion.

Has it worked? Also, I don’t think 2000iu is enough. Try more like 5000-10000iu

@@ldb6382 10 000 iu a day is making a difference for me now. Started at 5000 but since 10000 ive been getting better results

@@TheDNM77 I thought so too, but I just don't want to throw my 60 remaining pills away.

@@ldb6382 I would say no effect; I even have pimples on my neck now

@@zaro9280 ive cleared up my skin to almost 100% with this. Something i do once a day is remove all technology and just sit on my couch practicing deep breathing, trying to get my heart rate down and really just to clear my mind. I find your mental state has a lot to do with acne since stress does affect the balance of hormones

Bro, fruit is life. Never ever limit fruit. Sugar is good for you, it’s a nutrient! Never ever limit fruits

Less is more, I would do the bare minimum. Out of sight out of mind. Cleaning becomes a compulsion, a bad one at that and counter productive.

Sorry to hear it Trey. Any update for us? I suppose it's not a sure thing for all, I just believe so many have created a chronic condition via soap, products, routine ect. I appreciate you trying and hope you find a solution that ultimately works for you.

@@seanmauceri4249 I am still using your method. I have seen some progress. My breakouts seem very cyclical. I clear up for a week or so, then get another breakout, then it clears up again. Staying consistent with this method, so not sure what to do to stop the breakouts from coming back.

@@gosox1356 this is exactly how mine have been as well. are you still doing this method? if so how are things? I'm about 2.5 months in and my results are mixed to say the least

@@jorgeivan9452 yeah I'm still using it because I get the same/slightly better results using this than using curology or proactive or any other products which I've used in the past. This one doesn't cost money at least.

@@gosox1356 damn that’s good bro, I’m glad it’s somewhat working out for you. And I know what you mean,I had prescription products and things got pricy so this is def cheaper. If I don’t see definite results at the like 3.5 month mark I’m probably gonna have to go on accutane which I’m fearing. In theory this shit makes sense and I want to believe in it but it’s hard to say rn.

Sad reality of the situation. Just a matter of time and patience. It took me a long while until my hyperpigmentation went away and as I have commented elsewhere I do believe the swipe method will accelerate this process.

@@seanmauceri4249 my skins getting better now, how long did it take you?

@@shahanh1040 Happy to read this. It took a while to be honest, likely a good year or so for the hyperpigmentation to diminish. Just hang in there, you're heading in the right direction!!
