Hey guys thanks for all the comments and views so far! To everyone asking me to make more videos I'm sorry I've been super super busy but I'll have a few new ones coming soon! :)
Main reason I have bad acne is most likely to me playing Football or Lifting which I Sweat A LOT! Is it ok to let my back acne to just go on it’s own? Or use a body acne wash??
Thank you SO much for this video. I’m a girl and kept looking up videos on results for when you don’t wash your face anymore out of desperation. All the the dozens of ladies I watched were long as hell and didn’t give any clear direction as the what they were actually doing step by step… your video is the only one I found that was clear and provided exact directions. Even the water part… I was SO thankful when you specified the hot/cold part and to not scrub with water just splash! Even the sensitive dove soap you showed is what I obsessively scrub my face with 3x a day…. Thank you so so so much for your guidance. I know this was posted years ago but you’re awesome and I appreciate you 🙏 28/F
Great video Toby! You're definitely helping people and I hope to make a video soon too. Like you said, even if it helps one person, you've done your job. And the caveman regimen that you've suggested is, in my opinion, the best way to go...
Hi guys, I've been on this regimen for about a 2 weeks now and I have had great results. Most of my acne has gone away, all I have now is acne scars(hyper pigmentation) and oily skin throughout the day. This regimen has worked great wonders to my skin. Remember everybody is different and it might not work for everyone but have faith and stick to doing this for around 3 to 4 months for best results . Tips to go by: Only let water hit your face once a day in the shower. Make sure your water temperature is luke warm, NOT HOT or COLD. Remember to change your pillow case every other day. Be confident. Have Faith.
no body no I don't put anything on my face. I try to limit my sun exposure daily. But what I do now is I put on a face mask every other day. It's called the Indian healing clay, I mix it with water, lemon juice, and olive oil, to get my skin from being dry.
Mauser sencion No, it is not. I still get occasional "small" breakouts that last me a week or so. Like little ones here and there. My hyperpigmentation scars are fading slowly. My face has gotten better. My skin is not bad, it just has a decent amount of hyperpigmentation. Other than that I think you should keep going. I recommend wetting your face twice a day, because my face looks better when I do so rather than just once at night.
I discovered that this works for me in an odd way. I went through a bad depression and stopped caring for my self. Oddly my skin got better. When I started to get a bit better I got back into the swing of things and my skin got bad. I decided to stop washing my face with the acception of on days that I wear make up. My skin has never been better!
ur story is almost identical as mine . i had really bad acne and then i got a really short haircut and i didnt like it so i just gave up on myself and stop caring abt myself then my skin got better and better for 3 months then i got 1 pimple and popped it and it started to appear more so i started using more products and it gotten worse .
This has with me too! When I’m going through a terrible time and can’t get out of bed my skin looks great but when I’m doing good and in a groove I break out pretty bad
I’m now an esthetician. I’ve always had perfect skin because I barely did anything to it. As soon as I started doing a bunch of facials and procedures in college, I suddenly am struggling with acne. I’m going to try this regimen and see how it works.
Hey Toby - just wanted to let you know that you're the fucking MAN! You inspired me to start this regimen at the start of summer (2 months ago), and it's been working like a charm. I've been struggling with acne since I was 15 - I'm 20 now. My skin tone is starting to revert back to normal after being extremely red, dehydrated and plagued with large pores for the past 3 years (after 2 years of using abrasive and harsh products). These days, I'm getting maybe a couple small whiteheads a week (down from the six or seven a day) - and the whiteheads I do get go away by the end of the day. Something I will say to anyone starting this is that I did get seborrheic dermatitis a week into this water-only regimen. My skin got these crazy red rashes/bumps and the dead skin that sloughed off was yellow. I got rid of it by rinsing my face with salt water (4 tablespoons of dead sea salt in 3 cups of water in a large bowl) - just splash once per area. I'd do this once every other day for a week (or however long it takes to get rid of the rash) *I used dead sea salt from a brand called Minera. Here's also some things I've learned since starting this regimen that may help others: 1. a. Use COLD WATER (not ice-cold, but moderately cold). I started this with warm water first and found that this did nothing to help my dehydrated skin. Since switching to cold water 1 month in, my skin has made insane improvements. b. Avoid taking long, hot showers. The steam from the shower dries your skin out, which causes further irritation. Keep it cold or keep it short; or even better, keep it both cold and short. 2. It might be beneficial to skip some days of splashing your face with water. I cut down the amount of days I workout from 6 to 3, just to give my skin a break. I try my best to only rinse my face every other day. 3. When you come to the inevitable moment where you absolutely must exfoliate, use your clean, washed fingers. You need to do this gently (no added pressure from your fingers). Make minimal contact and slowly exfoliate using a circular motion. Don't exfoliate the dead skin that won't naturally come off - it means that it isn't ready to come off. 4. Try to avoid sun exposure during peak hours (10 am - 4 pm). I know it sucks, but it's just for a couple of months. When you absolutely must be outside, wear a hat. You might need to supplement with 5000 IUs of Vitamin D3 (extremely important in skin healing) due to not getting the optimal amount of UV ray exposure. 5. Drink a lot of water and eat a shit ton of veggies and fruits. There are so many vitamins and minerals that play a role in healing skin tissue. Therefore, getting the optimal amount of these micronutrients will more than likely expedite the healing process. I try to make sure I follow this by drinking a green smoothie (apple, kale, strawberries, blueberries& avocado) and eating a salad a day. Focus on the dark, leafy greens (none of that iceberg lettuce shit - think more spinach, kale and arugula) and orange-colored veggies (carrots & sweet potatoes). 5. Get enough SLEEP - the body does the majority of its healing when you're asleep. Prioritize your sleep! I think that's about it, haha. In the past week, I started using a 1:5 diluted ACV spray and rosewater spray. I use ACV spray on days that I don't rinse my face with water, while using the rosewater on the days I do (spray rosewater on face after splashing with water). I'm not sure if it has been making any differences in the healing process, BUT I also haven't seen any drawbacks, such as irritation or increased breakouts. I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks again, Toby. You're fucking awesome. I definitely wouldn't have tried this without your videos. I also want to thank a channel called The Unconventional Life. I found it on the recommended channels from your page. The chick who runs it, Brianne, also gives a ton of insight on a minimal routine (I got the ACV and rosewater idea from her). I'd give all her acne and skin-related videos a look-through - insanely informative about her modified caveman regimen. If anyone has any questions for me, let me know. I'll try my best to answer them. PEACE!
Nikolai Forrest this was the best comment I've ever read!!!! And also I have struggled with seb derm as well!!! I'll make a video on it!!! This comment was awesome thank you again for taking the time to watch my videos and to comment! Your awesome
No problem! It was the least I could do - I'll definitely look out for your next video. EDIT: Also, just a quick update to anyone who reads this thread - I stopped using the ACV toner as I noticed it was drying my skin out and giving me small breakouts - nothing too bad, just some small whiteheads. I think my skin needs a couple more months of healing before I start adding anything (aside from water) to my skin. Aside from the minor breakouts from the ACV toner, this past week has been pretty great. It's crazy to finally feel how normal skin should act after so many years - no itching, no burning, no tightness. The breakouts are pretty much insignificant now - its really just the red skin tone I'm waiting for to go back to normal (I've seen a good amount of improvement in the last couple weeks). To anyone trying the modified caveman regimen, PLEASE give it at least two months. This regimen is different as you see improvements NOT while your skin adjusts, but after your skin adjusts. The huge improvements I've seen are very recent so just hold out for a couple more weeks if you're at the one month mark. As always, if you have any questions, let me know by replying to this comment thread. I'll try to get back as soon as I can.
Your comments just really inspired me to give this regiment a real shot. I'm 32 years and I've been putting a fuck ton of shit on my face since 18. Harsh face washes, anti aging products and benzoyl peroxide. For years! Its now interesting to think about how my acne came about to begin with. All throughout high school I had flawless skin and all I ever did was splash water on my face in the morning. Then when I was about 18 years old, I started getting a couple pimples on my chin. I responded by putting egg whites, toothpaste, bar soap, just bullshit on my face . That's when my acne started getting really bad. So I went to a dermatologist and they gave me more shit to put on my face. "Here, fuck with your face some more," is what the doc said. And it worked pretty well with clearing me up, but apparently it was just a band aid, huh? I get mild breakouts and my skin looks thin and weak. Like.. not natural. So i'm looking forward to seeing what this regimen is going to do for my complexion.
Watching Toby's videos last August are what finally made me decide to go through with the caveman regimen. The process took much longer for me, about 7-8 months since I have been using harsh soaps and benzoyl peroxide much longer than Toby. And it was very challenging mentally, as my break outs became worse and more frequent. But I'm so thankful I did it. My skin is finally clear after 15 years of acne and trying to clear it with harsh products. If you are out of your teenage years and still struggle with acne and try constantly to fight it with products and overwashing, TRY THE CAVEMAN. It is a temporary struggle but a potentially life changing one.
@@athirakhairamulyaputri326 I intentionally avoided using sunscreen completely because I was afraid of breakouts getting worse. But I always made sure to have a good hat that covered my face and neck when being outside for extended periods. And always had a facemask when skiing this past winter.
Keep up the good work. So all throughout high school, I had great skin. It wasn't until I hit 18 and started wearing cheap makeup, using face wash and moisturizers is when I got horrible cystic acne throughout my twenties and I could not figure out for the life of me what I was doing wrong!! Like you said, the people that had the best skin around me did NOTHING. It explains why children have perfect skin and even those in poorer countries that don't use face products at all because they can't, they have the best skin!! The redness faded away after I stopped using face wash too. I love my skin again!
hey toby, thanks for these videos they are super inspiring, i just started a log on my channel, im currently about one month in and i will be updating frequently, so far so good!
god.. this is something i REALLY need to get on. i've been on accutane, then i kept washing my face, 6 months later my face has gone crazy again. i am so sick of cosmetics, soaps and this entire 20-40 minute routine i'm bound by. thank you for this video
damn man just about to pull the trigger and say fuck it and sign my life away to accutane but i prayed man and i found this channel. definitely gonna try this for three months ill def be coming back to keep this updated. thank you dude
Thank you so much for these videos bro. It is really worth and means to me, I mean for all the acne suffers. I'm suffering from acne for almost 5 years now. As you did I also tried every fucking product and all I got was irritated skin and more blackheads and whiteheads. Really appreciate your videos bro. Means a lot for me. Keep doing more videos. I would love to know what kind of diet did you followed to clear the acne... Good luck man. Hope you'll have a great smooth skin that you used to have before acne.
Alright man I've watched all of your videos. It's time to start caveman. Also got rid of all of the products just so I don't have to see them. Watching your vids actually helped me a lot man. Having someone that can actually relate is great because the typical video involves some girl who had like 3 bumps and she uses all of these products. Much love man, will try my best to update with the caveman regimen!
Update: Skin was oily first week, but got better over the last couple weeks. All of my acne has either disappeared or shrunk very small. No more pimples either! Had ALOT of them but they left very fast. My face is so smooth now and it feels great not using products. The hyper pigmentation is still here but my face isn't as red and irritated because I quit using products. My face has gotten much better in a smaller span of time. Try the modified caveman regimen.
I've been doing this for about a month now and all my acne scars finnaly faded away and I'm losing acne. I highly suggest everyone tries it for atleast a month
@@vanessaortiz9945 most of my acne is gone, finally have my confidence back. This regimen really helped. You don't have to use products or anything your skin can function on its own. Using products damages your skin.
Wow you sound exactly like to what happened to me I was so desperate to have clear skin I put all kinds of stuff on face to keep it clean and one day my husband told me leave your face alone all I do is just shower and he has flawless skin and i did as he said and my skin repaired it self I was spreading all kinds of germs from the chemicals I was using and stripping away the protective layer of my face... a almost a year and my acne is almost completely gone although I do use vitamin e oil and that's it!!
Is the Vitamin e oil a sort of moisturizer? and do you use it everytime after shower? and where can u get it from? my situation is REALLY simular to yours, plz respond
This video was super helpful. I used so many products for years before I decided to ditch all the “cleansing” products. I found out, after only using lukewarm/ cool water, my skin instantly started looking better. Ever since then, I haven’t had any more breakouts, the scars began to fade away, and my face just felt better and healthier overall. Everyone’s skin is different so I’m not sure if this will work for everyone, but I definitely recommend giving this a shot.
@@Alex-ev9nd I just splash water on my face. I’ve tried using my hands to rinse my face and there wasn’t much of a difference. My face doesn’t get that greasy and is usually dry so I don’t do it too much. Try both methods to see which one works best for your skin.
@@fruth2612 Ok. I workout and get sweaty, so I feel like when I’m in the shower splashing my face i don’t feel like I got the sweat off. I’ll try both. I just don’t want it to irritate my skin
@@Alex-ev9nd I used to feel the same way about using only water, but after about a week of only using water my skin wasn’t so irritated. Sometimes I’ll use a face wash every now and then but I break out the next day after using it. Now when I don’t use face wash, I never break out.
thank you so much for putting this out. ive heard a lot about this shit and struggled for years with acne. the way you put things so frank inspired me to try this out. THANKS
I've been trying to decide whether or not I should go on the regimen allll day long, listening to different people's opinions and debating the choice. After listening to you I've decided to give it a try. I wasn't comfortable with never using water, either, so I will also try the modified version. Thank you for explaining so thoroughly, I'm so excited to try this. I already don't use moisturizer on my face so I'm hoping I get to skip the breakout part haha.
I just started this and my face already looks so clear and it isn’t even oily looking whereas when I use product it looks extremely oily, dry, and red.
If anyone on this video is struggling with dry skin after using caveman method and quitting moisturizer, I suggest using organic aloe vera!!! It’s a cactus looking plant you can buy at the grocery store for less than $1 per branch. I personally cut the branch in half, cut that into cubes and put those cubes into the freezer for a cool / soothing aloe Vera face massage cube after warm showers. Hope this helps ❤️❤️❤️
I agree with you that Aloe Vera is a good alternative to moisturizer! Only problem for me is it made my dermatitis worse :/ But if thats not an issue for you I hope it works! Good luck!
I have oily skin and hormonal imbalance. I wash my face with water. - Air dry your face. Don’t dry with towels they’re full of bacteria. - If you wear makeup use micellar water or witch hazel to clean it off. Witch hazel also helps cleanse without stripping off too much. Any type of products you use, use in MODERATION. I plan on doing a video also. Thank you!
you look so good! im on 18th day of caveman regiment no water at all, dryness and flaking overload, im so happy I saw your video, this inspire me alot, what you said in this video is very true, me also realized that all the product even the mildest product even for babies have tons of chemicals and every time i wash my face my face is red and look angry. Then I saw video of Tracy of the Love vitamins then I realized to throw all this chemicals and do the the caveman regiment. I wish I also achieve the success like you have.
2months and 1week of caveman regiment, and my face improve alot,, I only have 2 spots and Its way smaller and dry so fast,less noticesable. To those starting caveman regiment keep going 1month is very hard but worth it. Im doing hardcore caveman regiment meaning no water at all.Modified caveman regiment or water only is alright it defend in your preference.
thanks a lot bro .. been doing caveman regimen about a year now and your right it will be worst before it will get better dont loose hope just keep going on .. 8 hours sleep and no stress will help to :) been washing my face by water once a day only when taking a bath .. thank you and godbless
@@johnnytsunami3558 I’m really lazy with my skincare routine, but I do make sure to cleanse my skin and moisturize! I exfoliate when my skin becomes flaky and dry.
Going to try this never had acne and bam have cystic acne and it drives me insane feel embarrassed going out have bought tonssssssssss of face products to drugstore to high end and nothing 😩😩😩 I never use to wash my face and had perfect skin I had 1 bad break out and started to use products and it worsened definitely going back to not messing with my face I heard it gets worst before it gets better which makes sense and makes sense that natural your skin will heal itself
I think the idea is great... now I notice that I have been using lots of skin care products. I found that the redness and pimple only raise at the part(face) where I applied the product . now I understand why only some part of my face has pimple while rest isn't . thank you..
I haven't washed my face or used product for over three years. I haven't suffered from acne for over three years. My skin is now consistently clear and even.
@@rageur6546 I let water go on my face in the shower before bedtime, and rub my face dry with a towel. I have recently added argan oil to my face after the shower, and that has been a wonderful addition. Still no acne. I don't wear any makeup though, which may contribute as to why I have no acne.
I’ve been doing this regimen along with drinking close to a gallon of water a day because it was drying my skin out and drinking water is incredible for acne and hydrating my acne is pretty much all gone and it’s been 2 weeks thank you Despite what all your friends say like eww why don’t you wash your face in a few weeks you have clear skin and you’re gonna be laughing at them now
I had oily skin, I've been following this thing for 8 months and my skin is not oily. I still get some acne but it heals pretty fast and i mean I feel my skin a lot more smooth and it has more elasticity now. This regimen should be tried by everyone with sensitive and red skin it really helps
@@7orakel its getting better, 1st and 2nd month you will get more acne and accumulate lots and lots dead skin, but as time goes by, it will get better One thing i did is i put a little amount of moisturizer when i got out of the pool cause of chlorine
Ayy im doing this caveman regimen for about 2 months just like what you said let your skin heals itself 😁i also wash my face once only night time before going to bed cold water as always
I want to thank you sincerely. I saw this video last year and it's one of the video that make me keep through this Cavemen journey. My acne was way worse than yours. Then started only washing my face with soap and put nothing on. Now 7 months later, MY SKIN IS SUPER CLEAR!! THANK YOU!
I'll try this and I'll let you know if it works! I've gone completely natural and that has helped, but I haven't tried this as painful it is to hear not to wash your face! You'll hear from me soon, thanks for the video:)
This video saved my skin fr. It was so red, dry and irritated, then i stopped using everything (except sunscreen when im out for a long time), and only wash my face with water morning and evening. Now its pretty much back to normal, and it hasnt even been a full 3 months yet. Seriously thanks so much for this video bro!
@@self_lovecare what worked for me was to just leave it alone. badically let your skin breathe and fix itself. dont put anything on it (not even sunscreen until a couple of weeks in). splash cold water in your face once a day in the beginning to avoid too much bacteria and skin cells building up. and just wait. it will get better and you can slowly start going back to normal. at least this is what worked for me. hope you figure it out bro
@@self_lovecare beacuse of not doing anything mostly. just a little water here and there when the face felt very greasy or sweaty. and then padding it dry gently with a towel. it takes time tho. ive been doing it for three months now, and my skin is like 80% back to normal. just remember to still protect yourself from sun. i got really badly sunburned a couple of times cause i was in the sun too long. your barrier is super fragile in the beginning, so stick to the shade as much ad you can. it will heal eventually, believe me
I used to wash my face alot, still had acne. When I went to army basic training I couldn't use none of the face products. After 3 months i was there I had perfect clear skin
It all boils down to the ***PH BALANCE*** and this pretty much goes for everything from our skin to your hair, mouth & other internal/external parts. When the ph balance gets disturbed then we begin seeing its effects and so with skin we'll have breakouts, with hair it will depend on the ph of your scalp AND CIRCULATION. It is not expensive to have great skin. Some breakout are due to a hormonal issue and for that you could speak with a Esthetician and together you can implement a good skin care regime into your day. GREAT VIDEO and THANKS FOR SHARING~
People with acne prone skin have sensitive skin. There is a deficiency of Linoleic fatty acid. They are prone to clogged pores, and have a baseline barrier weakness and baseline inflammation of the skin. Less is more. Even water can irritate sensitive skin. Cleansing is not necessary unless to remove makeup in which I recommend a gentle makeup wipe. Some people swear by bioderma micellar water but I find wipes even more gentle and less drying.
I’ve tried the cavemen regimen before but I just gave up in few days because I couldn’t deal with the flakiness. BUT, as my moisturizer is irritating my skin atm I’ve decided to do the cavemen regime again, won’t give up this time.
This has worked for me! I use a cold wet washcloth in the morning to clean my face and I shower at night. My skin has cleared up completely after years of acne!
I mean just wash it normally with water but dont wash it like once a day if u have oily skin. Acne is hormonal usually I assume so washing it with soup/other products wont make it go away. U should grow out of it eventually
I watch your video everytime i feel hopeless. Acne is the most confidence killer, i try not to think abt it but i cant resist it. Its only been 1 week, i know it not long enough. I got whiteheads and bumps a lot on my face. I guess my face is detoxing itself ? Hope it gets better. Have nothing to lose 😟
Yes dear sister your face is detoxing i am on 2nd month 11th day still having whiteheads and tiny bumps and clogged pores.. But these are some detox symptoms it may last upto 4 months.. Just love the way you are.. Because whatever you need to live God already has created that like water, plants, air, fruits,.. You don't need soaps face washes to be clean they did more harm than good to me.. I totally damaged my skin due to glycolic acid toner and over cleansing and over exfoliation.. But still i don't loose hope on my skin. Just eat healthy keep hydrated... And leave the rest on your skin.. I am with you.. You also be with me please.. Let's support each other
Okay guys I’m doing this, started yesterday and I’m going to go for a week. I’m on day 2, woke up like an hour ago and my skin doesn’t look any different so far. I’ll keep you updated Day 3 - just looked in the mirror, my skin always looks better in the morning butttttt it does look a bit clearer. Might just be placebo effect but I’ll stick with it, very difficult to not moisturise Day 4- just woke up and looked in the mirror, my skin does look really good, still some spots but not that many. I have had a new one on my nose but that’s literally the oiliest place I get so that’s understandable. I’ve also noticed the pigmentation from the previous spots are fading a bit quicker than they have before. Still weird not moisturising so I want to try only moisturising in the morning and not at night just to feel a little bit normal, won’t do that until after the week is over though. Day 5 - my skin looks the clearest it’s been in a while. I still have a couple of spots but probably like 3 and the rest is just texture but my skin looks really good compared to when I first started.
Right guys so I tried this like last week but stopped but my skin was really good, but I started getting a lot of whiteheads on my cheek and on my chin. Idk whether it was kind of just purging from the lack of moisture or not but I was also still using benzoyl peroxide, I think it got better because it was literally just that on my face idk. My skin is worse before I started but I’ve been putting petroleum jelly on my face so it’s kind of clogged idk. Might go back to it after my birthday in like 2 days cus I’m not gunna see anyone so doesn’t really matter, will let you know again 😭
Guys, I’ve have been doing this regimen for about 4 weeks now and all I can say is... it actually works. Not all of my dark spots/acne marks have gone away yet, but it’s getting there. I was skeptical at first and it felt unnatural for the first week but trust him. it’s going to be the best for you.
I sometimes think of it as s cut you get on your arm or something...you don’t go putting some chemical and ALSO start scrubbing it all crazy or even just a little. All you do is ignore it and do nothing about it an it just goes away on its own. Just let it heal to go away....not put stuff on it to go away.
I am on my 5th day with only using a cold cloth to wipe my face one time and I haven’t had any cystic breakouts I usually breakout every other day with a new pimple somewhere on my face. Face is very tight and dry, but is looking totally different already. I’m never buying a facial cleanser again! Ive spent hundreds on tons of serums, cleansers, toners, etc I’m sooo happy this is working 🥰🥰🥰
I stopped using products...one week on and my skin is getting some more acne but my skin still feels good..better than before. It will get clearer I believe just like yours did. Thanks for an informative video.
thanks so much for this video! I tend to deal mostly with small red under the skin pimples but my biggest problem is really hyperpigmentation (dark spots). would you suggest doing the caveman regimen or just using products seeing as they are fairly small breakouts?
My acne wasn’t like TERRIBLE but it was still there and active, but I started this about 4 weeks ago and it’s working amazing, sometimes I don’t wash my face but if i rlly needed to i use cold water only morning or night
my acne eventually got so bad and I was just like "f**k it, my face is already messed up, I have nothing else to lose." so I tried not washing my face because before I started washing my face it was perfectly clear (with some blackheads though), but after I started washing my face I began getting acne and acne scars. So, yes, please try this, my face has never been closer to being clear in years. Im about a month in and already have great results so definately try ditching the products. Also, I do wash my face with water .
When I was a teen, I had bad acne for a year due to puberty. I was desperate to make it better so in the beginning I tried prescribed medicine for acne and it made it WORSE. Much worse. I stopped the medicine and began washing my face with water only in the shower and massaging my skin, rubbing dry patches and acne softly to dislodge dirt and after a year it was all gone. I've been doing this ever since and my main rule for acne and pimples still remains: don't touch your pimples/acne unless you are in the shower washing it or it WILL spread. If you leave it alone and don't touch it and wash properly it will go away. That is for hormonal acne/pimples. If it's genetic it's a whole other story and just washing with water might not even help.
Hi!! So I’m a teenager and I only have a few pimples but they really lower my self esteem because I just cant help but pick them! It leaves scars and I use minimal (just recently) products on it but I think I’ll try this out! My goal is to get clear skin before summer , I will be eating healthier and only washing my face gently with water! I’ll find this video in about four months and update you on my journey!!!!!❤️
My breakout started this mid March, it was so bad that I decided to consult my doctor (not a dermatologist or esthetician) and he recommended me this regimen. At first I doubted it is going to work and will just worsen the situation. But after watching this video and seeing how pretty you are now, I'm going to give it a try. This is my first week though. I really hope this would help. Wish me luck.
I never did skincare till I was 15, i’m now 16 and a couple months ago in the summer I broke out horribly. Coming across this video even though it was posted a while ago, i’m going to finally try this. I’ve kept depending on products and nothing has really worked. Little breakouts to then more breakouts getting bigger and it been so painful. I think the constant change in products, also hormones coming along with it but products have clogged my pores. I don’t break out at all around my neck, back, arms, chest just my face and it’s not super bad but it’s more than what I normally have. If it’s just my face it must be the products, so i’m going to finally let my face recover and regulate itself and let it do what it needs to do. Fingers crossed my skin can get back to the way it was. 😅
@@us7v223 gave up, made my acne worse lmao, it’s now all good, but after doing it for around a month it just wouldn’t calm down. It doesn’t work for everyone sadly.
@@us7v223 I did around 3 weeks and a few days so just about 1 month, I figured by 2 weeks my skin would settle a little but just felt so oily and being out a lot and coming back and not washing my face felt awful. The air, the hard water in the shower, coming to winter my face was feeling more dry, it just wasn’t working because moisturiser on its own, buildup will just clog pores. Don’t stop if it’s working for you, but if you don’t see the results you want by 2 months, it may not be your thing. People say skincare is rubbish but for me and many, it is not rubbish at all, it can be important. Sunscreen to protect our faces from UV light, it’s very damaging. A gentle cleanser to wash dirt, oil and skin buildup. Our body’s shed once a month, so all that buildup can be prevented. If you’re acne prone, a spot treatment is key, it won’t go away effectively if you don’t do anything, not really it can depend. Moisturiser, our face has a skin barrier that’s very delicate, it can easily loose moisture from the drying air. All these things are important, our skins the biggest organ and needs to be taken care of. That’s just my personal opinion. :)
i used to depend so much on kbeauty n salicylic acid products and i think thats how i messed up my moisture barrier. My skin started to break out really bad but I got so tired to trying new products that I just stuck to washing with water. I broke out a lot around my jaw at first but i realised my forehead acne (which i struggled with) cleared up so fast.
Found this video all the way from over in the UK. Gonna give this a try, thanks man keep up the good work!
CSKStan1 thank you so much!
Hey guys thanks for all the comments and views so far! To everyone asking me to make more videos I'm sorry I've been super super busy but I'll have a few new ones coming soon! :)
Toby Gomez what about the acne scarr?
What about your diet?
Main reason I have bad acne is most likely to me playing Football or Lifting which I Sweat A LOT! Is it ok to let my back acne to just go on it’s own? Or use a body acne wash??
Thank you SO much for this video. I’m a girl and kept looking up videos on results for when you don’t wash your face anymore out of desperation. All the the dozens of ladies I watched were long as hell and didn’t give any clear direction as the what they were actually doing step by step… your video is the only one I found that was clear and provided exact directions. Even the water part… I was SO thankful when you specified the hot/cold part and to not scrub with water just splash! Even the sensitive dove soap you showed is what I obsessively scrub my face with 3x a day…. Thank you so so so much for your guidance. I know this was posted years ago but you’re awesome and I appreciate you 🙏 28/F
Great video Toby! You're definitely helping people and I hope to make a video soon too. Like you said, even if it helps one person, you've done your job. And the caveman regimen that you've suggested is, in my opinion, the best way to go...
Finally some one said it leave your skin alone let it heal by itself thank you for making this video bro ❤🔥
All the soaps and cleansers he pulled out we’re all the ones I used💀
Hahahahaha :/
SAME
Did you take them out?
😂😂😂
Hi guys, I've been on this regimen for about a 2 weeks now and I have had great results. Most of my acne has gone away, all I have now is acne scars(hyper pigmentation) and oily skin throughout the day. This regimen has worked great wonders to my skin. Remember everybody is different and it might not work for everyone but have faith and stick to doing this for around 3 to 4 months for best results . Tips to go by: Only let water hit your face once a day in the shower. Make sure your water temperature is luke warm, NOT HOT or COLD. Remember to change your pillow case every other day. Be confident. Have Faith.
BobsPranksYT your awesome keep it up!!
do you use any moisturizer or sunscreen? my skin gets really oily too but I am really confused about the sunblock
no body no I don't put anything on my face. I try to limit my sun exposure daily. But what I do now is I put on a face mask every other day. It's called the Indian healing clay, I mix it with water, lemon juice, and olive oil, to get my skin from being dry.
BobsPranksYT is your skin completely clear now or does it look pretty decent ?
Mauser sencion No, it is not. I still get occasional "small" breakouts that last me a week or so. Like little ones here and there. My hyperpigmentation scars are fading slowly. My face has gotten better. My skin is not bad, it just has a decent amount of hyperpigmentation. Other than that I think you should keep going. I recommend wetting your face twice a day, because my face looks better when I do so rather than just once at night.
Congratulations on the clearer skin, i aspire to be like you some day :)
1) gonna try this
2) your eyebrows and bone structure are phenomenal
Chris'Cauldron how did it go
I discovered that this works for me in an odd way. I went through a bad depression and stopped caring for my self. Oddly my skin got better. When I started to get a bit better I got back into the swing of things and my skin got bad. I decided to stop washing my face with the acception of on days that I wear make up. My skin has never been better!
You can use erase your face or makeup eraser cloths to remove makeup.. also check your ingredients to make sure they are not clogging cosdna
ur story is almost identical as mine . i had really bad acne and then i got a really short haircut and i didnt like it so i just gave up on myself and stop caring abt myself then my skin got better and better for 3 months then i got 1 pimple and popped it and it started to appear more so i started using more products and it gotten worse .
This has with me too! When I’m going through a terrible time and can’t get out of bed my skin looks great but when I’m doing good and in a groove I break out pretty bad
Unfortunately this quit working for me. I have no idea what happened 😔.
@@24kbrand0n2 it's more than a little. Back to painful cysts again sadly.
This video is a real eye opener
Thank you 🙏
I am defineilty doing this ! I went through the same thing as you and I've tried every product and this regimen is the most natural way.
Kyla Russell hello , how did it go?
I’m now an esthetician. I’ve always had perfect skin because I barely did anything to it. As soon as I started doing a bunch of facials and procedures in college, I suddenly am struggling with acne. I’m going to try this regimen and see how it works.
How is it going?
Updates ?
What happened in the end?
@@jacqueline6780 she dead
Wondering how you are going to do your job knowing that skincare is the biggest BS of the century lmao
Hey Toby - just wanted to let you know that you're the fucking MAN! You inspired me to start this regimen at the start of summer (2 months ago), and it's been working like a charm. I've been struggling with acne since I was 15 - I'm 20 now.
My skin tone is starting to revert back to normal after being extremely red, dehydrated and plagued with large pores for the past 3 years (after 2 years of using abrasive and harsh products). These days, I'm getting maybe a couple small whiteheads a week (down from the six or seven a day) - and the whiteheads I do get go away by the end of the day.
Something I will say to anyone starting this is that I did get seborrheic dermatitis a week into this water-only regimen. My skin got these crazy red rashes/bumps and the dead skin that sloughed off was yellow. I got rid of it by rinsing my face with salt water (4 tablespoons of dead sea salt in 3 cups of water in a large bowl) - just splash once per area. I'd do this once every other day for a week (or however long it takes to get rid of the rash)
*I used dead sea salt from a brand called Minera.
Here's also some things I've learned since starting this regimen that may help others:
1. a. Use COLD WATER (not ice-cold, but moderately cold). I started this with warm water first and found that this did nothing to help my dehydrated skin. Since switching to cold water 1 month in, my skin has made insane improvements.
b. Avoid taking long, hot showers. The steam from the shower dries your skin out, which causes further irritation. Keep it cold or keep it short; or even better, keep it both cold and short.
2. It might be beneficial to skip some days of splashing your face with water. I cut down the amount of days I workout from 6 to 3, just to give my skin a break. I try my best to only rinse my face every other day.
3. When you come to the inevitable moment where you absolutely must exfoliate, use your clean, washed fingers. You need to do this gently (no added pressure from your fingers). Make minimal contact and slowly exfoliate using a circular motion. Don't exfoliate the dead skin that won't naturally come off - it means that it isn't ready to come off.
4. Try to avoid sun exposure during peak hours (10 am - 4 pm). I know it sucks, but it's just for a couple of months. When you absolutely must be outside, wear a hat. You might need to supplement with 5000 IUs of Vitamin D3 (extremely important in skin healing) due to not getting the optimal amount of UV ray exposure.
5. Drink a lot of water and eat a shit ton of veggies and fruits. There are so many vitamins and minerals that play a role in healing skin tissue. Therefore, getting the optimal amount of these micronutrients will more than likely expedite the healing process. I try to make sure I follow this by drinking a green smoothie (apple, kale, strawberries, blueberries& avocado) and eating a salad a day. Focus on the dark, leafy greens (none of that iceberg lettuce shit - think more spinach, kale and arugula) and orange-colored veggies (carrots & sweet potatoes).
5. Get enough SLEEP - the body does the majority of its healing when you're asleep. Prioritize your sleep!
I think that's about it, haha. In the past week, I started using a 1:5 diluted ACV spray and rosewater spray. I use ACV spray on days that I don't rinse my face with water, while using the rosewater on the days I do (spray rosewater on face after splashing with water). I'm not sure if it has been making any differences in the healing process, BUT I also haven't seen any drawbacks, such as irritation or increased breakouts. I'll keep you guys posted.
Thanks again, Toby. You're fucking awesome. I definitely wouldn't have tried this without your videos. I also want to thank a channel called The Unconventional Life. I found it on the recommended channels from your page. The chick who runs it, Brianne, also gives a ton of insight on a minimal routine (I got the ACV and rosewater idea from her). I'd give all her acne and skin-related videos a look-through - insanely informative about her modified caveman regimen.
If anyone has any questions for me, let me know. I'll try my best to answer them.
PEACE!
Nikolai Forrest this was the best comment I've ever read!!!! And also I have struggled with seb derm as well!!! I'll make a video on it!!! This comment was awesome thank you again for taking the time to watch my videos and to comment! Your awesome
No problem! It was the least I could do - I'll definitely look out for your next video.
EDIT: Also, just a quick update to anyone who reads this thread -
I stopped using the ACV toner as I noticed it was drying my skin out and giving me small breakouts - nothing too bad, just some small whiteheads. I think my skin needs a couple more months of healing before I start adding anything (aside from water) to my skin.
Aside from the minor breakouts from the ACV toner, this past week has been pretty great. It's crazy to finally feel how normal skin should act after so many years - no itching, no burning, no tightness. The breakouts are pretty much insignificant now - its really just the red skin tone I'm waiting for to go back to normal (I've seen a good amount of improvement in the last couple weeks).
To anyone trying the modified caveman regimen, PLEASE give it at least two months. This regimen is different as you see improvements NOT while your skin adjusts, but after your skin adjusts. The huge improvements I've seen are very recent so just hold out for a couple more weeks if you're at the one month mark.
As always, if you have any questions, let me know by replying to this comment thread. I'll try to get back as soon as I can.
Your comments just really inspired me to give this regiment a real shot. I'm 32 years and I've been putting a fuck ton of shit on my face since 18. Harsh face washes, anti aging products and benzoyl peroxide. For years! Its now interesting to think about how my acne came about to begin with.
All throughout high school I had flawless skin and all I ever did was splash water on my face in the morning. Then when I was about 18 years old, I started getting a couple pimples on my chin. I responded by putting egg whites, toothpaste, bar soap, just bullshit on my face . That's when my acne started getting really bad. So I went to a dermatologist and they gave me more shit to put on my face. "Here, fuck with your face some more," is what the doc said. And it worked pretty well with clearing me up, but apparently it was just a band aid, huh? I get mild breakouts and my skin looks thin and weak. Like.. not natural. So i'm looking forward to seeing what this regimen is going to do for my complexion.
Nikolai Forrest Hey! I know it's been 2 years now. But how is it going with your skin? Are you still doing caveman regimen? Any updates?
Nikolai Forrest And thanks for the tips btw! It really helped me alot not to lose hope
Watching Toby's videos last August are what finally made me decide to go through with the caveman regimen. The process took much longer for me, about 7-8 months since I have been using harsh soaps and benzoyl peroxide much longer than Toby. And it was very challenging mentally, as my break outs became worse and more frequent. But I'm so thankful I did it. My skin is finally clear after 15 years of acne and trying to clear it with harsh products.
If you are out of your teenage years and still struggle with acne and try constantly to fight it with products and overwashing, TRY THE CAVEMAN. It is a temporary struggle but a potentially life changing one.
hey, i’ve been on the caveman regimen for 2 days now. Do you use any sunscreen when you go out? i live in a tropical area and it’s summer:/
@@athirakhairamulyaputri326 I intentionally avoided using sunscreen completely because I was afraid of breakouts getting worse. But I always made sure to have a good hat that covered my face and neck when being outside for extended periods. And always had a facemask when skiing this past winter.
@@athirakhairamulyaputri326 how's your skin doing?
Is teenager can do this regimen?

Keep up the good work. So all throughout high school, I had great skin. It wasn't until I hit 18 and started wearing cheap makeup, using face wash and moisturizers is when I got horrible cystic acne throughout my twenties and I could not figure out for the life of me what I was doing wrong!! Like you said, the people that had the best skin around me did NOTHING. It explains why children have perfect skin and even those in poorer countries that don't use face products at all because they can't, they have the best skin!! The redness faded away after I stopped using face wash too. I love my skin again!
sierexx s do u use a wash cloth to exfoliate your skin weekly or every few days?
do u use sunscreen in the morning?

Thank you so much for these videos bro. It is really worth and means to me, I mean for all the acne suffers. I'm suffering from acne for almost 5 years now. As you did I also tried every fucking product and all I got was irritated skin and more blackheads and whiteheads. Really appreciate your videos bro. Means a lot for me. Keep doing more videos. I would love to know what kind of diet did you followed to clear the acne... Good luck man. Hope you'll have a great smooth skin that you used to have before acne.

This video changed my life three years ago man. Haven't put a chemical on my face in years and never looked better.
🥳👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 so happy for you
Alright man I've watched all of your videos. It's time to start caveman. Also got rid of all of the products just so I don't have to see them. Watching your vids actually helped me a lot man. Having someone that can actually relate is great because the typical video involves some girl who had like 3 bumps and she uses all of these products. Much love man, will try my best to update with the caveman regimen!
Update: Skin was oily first week, but got better over the last couple weeks. All of my acne has either disappeared or shrunk very small. No more pimples either! Had ALOT of them but they left very fast. My face is so smooth now and it feels great not using products. The hyper pigmentation is still here but my face isn't as red and irritated because I quit using products. My face has gotten much better in a smaller span of time. Try the modified caveman regimen.

@@vanessaortiz9945 most of my acne is gone, finally have my confidence back. This regimen really helped. You don't have to use products or anything your skin can function on its own. Using products damages your skin.
@@barricade2oo410 did it also clear scars ? And one other thing , did you ever try the urine treatment jajaaj
Are you suppose to splash your face with water every morning and every night or what
@@trelucero268 you just don't use products and leave your skin alone. Take cold showers, cold water helps your skin.
Thank you for this video!! Keep doing you
Wow you sound exactly like to what happened to me I was so desperate to have clear skin I put all kinds of stuff on face to keep it clean and one day my husband told me leave your face alone all I do is just shower and he has flawless skin and i did as he said and my skin repaired it self I was spreading all kinds of germs from the chemicals I was using and stripping away the protective layer of my face... a almost a year and my acne is almost completely gone although I do use vitamin e oil and that's it!!
Is the Vitamin e oil a sort of moisturizer? and do you use it everytime after shower? and where can u get it from? my situation is REALLY simular to yours, plz respond
This video was super helpful. I used so many products for years before I decided to ditch all the “cleansing” products. I found out, after only using lukewarm/ cool water, my skin instantly started looking better. Ever since then, I haven’t had any more breakouts, the scars began to fade away, and my face just felt better and healthier overall. Everyone’s skin is different so I’m not sure if this will work for everyone, but I definitely recommend giving this a shot.
Did you just splash the water in face. Or did you just use your hands to rinse it, like you would do when your cleansing ?
@@Alex-ev9nd I just splash water on my face. I’ve tried using my hands to rinse my face and there wasn’t much of a difference. My face doesn’t get that greasy and is usually dry so I don’t do it too much. Try both methods to see which one works best for your skin.
@@fruth2612 Ok. I workout and get sweaty, so I feel like when I’m in the shower splashing my face i don’t feel like I got the sweat off. I’ll try both. I just don’t want it to irritate my skin
@@Alex-ev9nd I used to feel the same way about using only water, but after about a week of only using water my skin wasn’t so irritated. Sometimes I’ll use a face wash every now and then but I break out the next day after using it. Now when I don’t use face wash, I never break out.
@@fruth2612 ok. Also when i workout and get sweaty should I rinse my face right after or how? Because the sweat clogs the pores and stuff.
thank you so much for putting this out. ive heard a lot about this shit and struggled for years with acne. the way you put things so frank inspired me to try this out. THANKS
I've been trying to decide whether or not I should go on the regimen allll day long, listening to different people's opinions and debating the choice. After listening to you I've decided to give it a try. I wasn't comfortable with never using water, either, so I will also try the modified version. Thank you for explaining so thoroughly, I'm so excited to try this. I already don't use moisturizer on my face so I'm hoping I get to skip the breakout part haha.
Kindred Heart how did it go
I just started this and my face already looks so clear and it isn’t even oily looking whereas when I use product it looks extremely oily, dry, and red.
If anyone on this video is struggling with dry skin after using caveman method and quitting moisturizer, I suggest using organic aloe vera!!! It’s a cactus looking plant you can buy at the grocery store for less than $1 per branch. I personally cut the branch in half, cut that into cubes and put those cubes into the freezer for a cool / soothing aloe Vera face massage cube after warm showers. Hope this helps ❤️❤️❤️
I agree with you that Aloe Vera is a good alternative to moisturizer! Only problem for me is it made my dermatitis worse :/ But if thats not an issue for you I hope it works! Good luck!
I feel like I was getting coached lol thanks! I will try this✨
Thanks Toby, I'll try this today onwards
Damn I'm so inspired rn starting from today
@Haiti News Info Haiti News Info didn’t work it gets worse after what helped me was going to a dermatologist
I have oily skin and hormonal imbalance. I wash my face with water.
- Air dry your face. Don’t dry with towels they’re full of bacteria.
- If you wear makeup use micellar water or witch hazel to clean it off. Witch hazel also helps cleanse without stripping off too much.
Any type of products you use, use in MODERATION. I plan on doing a video also. Thank you!
Savannah Garcia do u wash ur face only with water once or twice a day?
you look so good! im on 18th day of caveman regiment no water at all, dryness and flaking overload, im so happy I saw your video, this inspire me alot, what you said in this video is very true, me also realized that all the product even the mildest product even for babies have tons of chemicals and every time i wash my face my face is red and look angry. Then I saw video of Tracy of the Love vitamins then I realized to throw all this chemicals and do the the caveman regiment. I wish I also achieve the success like you have.
EM joaquin thank you for watching! I am super glad that it helped!!! Wishing you the best!
2months and 1week of caveman regiment, and my face improve alot,, I only have 2 spots and Its way smaller and dry so fast,less noticesable. To those starting caveman regiment keep going 1month is very hard but worth it. Im doing hardcore caveman regiment meaning no water at all.Modified caveman regiment or water only is alright it defend in your preference.
do u use a wash cloth to exfoliate your skin weekly or every few days?
thanks a lot bro .. been doing caveman regimen about a year now and your right it will be worst before it will get better dont loose hope just keep going on .. 8 hours sleep and no stress will help to :) been washing my face by water once a day only when taking a bath .. thank you and godbless

@@lars4108 so your skin is completely heal or repaired bcz of just water
@@self_lovecare beacuse of not doing anything mostly. just a little water here and there when the face felt very greasy or sweaty. and then padding it dry gently with a towel. it takes time tho. ive been doing it for three months now, and my skin is like 80% back to normal. just remember to still protect yourself from sun. i got really badly sunburned a couple of times cause i was in the sun too long. your barrier is super fragile in the beginning, so stick to the shade as much ad you can. it will heal eventually, believe me

It all boils down to the ***PH BALANCE*** and this pretty much goes for everything from our skin to your hair, mouth & other internal/external parts. When the ph balance gets disturbed then we begin seeing its effects and so with skin we'll have breakouts, with hair it will depend on the ph of your scalp AND CIRCULATION. It is not expensive to have great skin. Some breakout are due to a hormonal issue and for that you could speak with a Esthetician and together you can implement a good skin care regime into your day. GREAT VIDEO and THANKS FOR SHARING~
People with acne prone skin have sensitive skin. There is a deficiency of Linoleic fatty acid. They are prone to clogged pores, and have a baseline barrier weakness and baseline inflammation of the skin. Less is more. Even water can irritate sensitive skin. Cleansing is not necessary unless to remove makeup in which I recommend a gentle makeup wipe. Some people swear by bioderma micellar water but I find wipes even more gentle and less drying.
Thanks for this. ❤️
I’ve tried the cavemen regimen before but I just gave up in few days because I couldn’t deal with the flakiness. BUT, as my moisturizer is irritating my skin atm I’ve decided to do the cavemen regime again, won’t give up this time.
Elle H. How’s it going? Mine has gotten bad lately and I want to try this
Updated
This has worked for me! I use a cold wet washcloth in the morning to clean my face and I shower at night. My skin has cleared up completely after years of acne!
Laura Lily meaning we still need to exfoliate with wash cloth? As u are doing that during morning
You can use a microfiber cloth and water to clean your face.. “erase your face” cloths work great and are super soft
Washcloths and water exfoliate. You can do it once a week or more often if your skin tolerates. Use microfiber cloths which are the vest for skin
@@michellecostanza3724 are we gently patting it on the face or what ?
Doing it now. Third day now. Really dry around the mouth, but gotta do it. Love your positivity man.
Any updates?
any updtaes
Just made it worse that time I tried this for me.
I mean just wash it normally with water but dont wash it like once a day if u have oily skin. Acne is hormonal usually I assume so washing it with soup/other products wont make it go away. U should grow out of it eventually
But using these products wont make it worse either. So it doesn’t make a difference. In my opinion
Hey man thx for the advice and I going to try it rn ( even thou I got to do nothing basically)
I watch your video everytime i feel hopeless. Acne is the most confidence killer, i try not to think abt it but i cant resist it. Its only been 1 week, i know it not long enough. I got whiteheads and bumps a lot on my face. I guess my face is detoxing itself ? Hope it gets better. Have nothing to lose 😟
Yes dear sister your face is detoxing i am on 2nd month 11th day still having whiteheads and tiny bumps and clogged pores.. But these are some detox symptoms it may last upto 4 months.. Just love the way you are.. Because whatever you need to live God already has created that like water, plants, air, fruits,.. You don't need soaps face washes to be clean they did more harm than good to me.. I totally damaged my skin due to glycolic acid toner and over cleansing and over exfoliation.. But still i don't loose hope on my skin. Just eat healthy keep hydrated... And leave the rest on your skin.. I am with you.. You also be with me please.. Let's support each other
did you let water touch your face or you let the dead skin just build up? and if so did it just fall off on its own?
Okay guys I’m doing this, started yesterday and I’m going to go for a week. I’m on day 2, woke up like an hour ago and my skin doesn’t look any different so far. I’ll keep you updated
Day 3 - just looked in the mirror, my skin always looks better in the morning butttttt it does look a bit clearer. Might just be placebo effect but I’ll stick with it, very difficult to not moisturise
Day 4- just woke up and looked in the mirror, my skin does look really good, still some spots but not that many. I have had a new one on my nose but that’s literally the oiliest place I get so that’s understandable. I’ve also noticed the pigmentation from the previous spots are fading a bit quicker than they have before. Still weird not moisturising so I want to try only moisturising in the morning and not at night just to feel a little bit normal, won’t do that until after the week is over though.
Day 5 - my skin looks the clearest it’s been in a while. I still have a couple of spots but probably like 3 and the rest is just texture but my skin looks really good compared to when I first started.
Right guys so I tried this like last week but stopped but my skin was really good, but I started getting a lot of whiteheads on my cheek and on my chin. Idk whether it was kind of just purging from the lack of moisture or not but I was also still using benzoyl peroxide, I think it got better because it was literally just that on my face idk. My skin is worse before I started but I’ve been putting petroleum jelly on my face so it’s kind of clogged idk. Might go back to it after my birthday in like 2 days cus I’m not gunna see anyone so doesn’t really matter, will let you know again 😭
Hey can you give me your instagram maybe and delete the message after it? I would like to ask you some questions
You are a life saver amen brother
You helped me bruh and I'm 37 skin dang near clear now. Thanks
Guys, I’ve have been doing this regimen for about 4 weeks now and all I can say is... it actually works. Not all of my dark spots/acne marks have gone away yet, but it’s getting there. I was skeptical at first and it felt unnatural for the first week but trust him. it’s going to be the best for you.
HeartBrokenV how are you dealing with the dead skin mask man ? 🙌
Bang Trickyz it’s really uncomfortable but you’ll get through it
HeartBrokenV I destroyed my Forehead and have marks now and dead skin that is yellow, what can I do man ? 🙏
Bang Trickyz best thing is to leave your skin alone. Let your skin natural oils heal itself
How is your skin now?
I am trying this and it’s been about a month since I started and my skin has never been clearer, it did get worse but now it’s rapidly improving!
Female Covers do u use a wash cloth to exfoliate your skin weekly or every few days?
At what point did it get worse?
I sometimes think of it as s cut you get on your arm or something...you don’t go putting some chemical and ALSO start scrubbing it all crazy or even just a little. All you do is ignore it and do nothing about it an it just goes away on its own. Just let it heal to go away....not put stuff on it to go away.
I am on my 5th day with only using a cold cloth to wipe my face one time and I haven’t had any cystic breakouts I usually breakout every other day with a new pimple somewhere on my face.
Face is very tight and dry, but is looking totally different already.
I’m never buying a facial cleanser again! Ive spent hundreds on tons of serums, cleansers, toners, etc I’m sooo happy this is working 🥰🥰🥰
Do u splash or rub with water?
@@shaiksadik2541 I just splash or use a cloth to wipe one time
I stopped using products...one week on and my skin is getting some more acne but my skin still feels good..better than before.
It will get clearer I believe just like yours did. Thanks for an informative video.
Mausam Shrestha heck yeah that’s awesome! I’m really glad you found it helpful! Good luck!
How’s ur skin doing now?
@@BellaThePomeranian No new acne..still somewhat sensitive tho...my skin isn’t smooth yet.
@@mausamshrestha2532 I’m starting today
@@mausamshrestha2532 so you didnty get a itchy face?
You're beautiful omg!!! and thanks for the advice 🤓
thanks so much for this video! I tend to deal mostly with small red under the skin pimples but my biggest problem is really hyperpigmentation (dark spots). would you suggest doing the caveman regimen or just using products seeing as they are fairly small breakouts?
I really believe this because when we were kids we didn't use anything and our skin was beautiful
You. Are. SO. Pretty 😵
Jesse Takala tbh
I recommend this method if you want a great treatment for your acne problem: AcneSun.xyz
So. Are. You
@Chip Fisher stfu
How tf is he pretty? Handsome you mean? He is a,man so masculine not feminine
The first cleanser he pulled out was the exact one I’ve been using for months...
Aria Brown did you try the caveman regimen ? How did it go ?
Yep, update
great video! do you experience excess skin/built up oil? that's my main problem right now with the regimen
Tq bro for ur honest review ill try it
My acne wasn’t like TERRIBLE but it was still there and active, but I started this about 4 weeks ago and it’s working amazing, sometimes I don’t wash my face but if i rlly needed to i use cold water only morning or night
my acne eventually got so bad and I was just like "f**k it, my face is already messed up, I have nothing else to lose." so I tried not washing my face because before I started washing my face it was perfectly clear (with some blackheads though), but after I started washing my face I began getting acne and acne scars. So, yes, please try this, my face has never been closer to being clear in years. Im about a month in and already have great results so definately try ditching the products. Also, I do wash my face with water .
When I was a teen, I had bad acne for a year due to puberty. I was desperate to make it better so in the beginning I tried prescribed medicine for acne and it made it WORSE. Much worse. I stopped the medicine and began washing my face with water only in the shower and massaging my skin, rubbing dry patches and acne softly to dislodge dirt and after a year it was all gone. I've been doing this ever since and my main rule for acne and pimples still remains: don't touch your pimples/acne unless you are in the shower washing it or it WILL spread. If you leave it alone and don't touch it and wash properly it will go away. That is for hormonal acne/pimples. If it's genetic it's a whole other story and just washing with water might not even help.
Hi!! So I’m a teenager and I only have a few pimples but they really lower my self esteem because I just cant help but pick them! It leaves scars and I use minimal (just recently) products on it but I think I’ll try this out! My goal is to get clear skin before summer , I will be eating healthier and only washing my face gently with water! I’ll find this video in about four months and update you on my journey!!!!!❤️
Hey how’s the progression if ur still going?
updates
Great video.
Justin Bermudez thank you! I appreciate it!!
My breakout started this mid March, it was so bad that I decided to consult my doctor (not a dermatologist or esthetician) and he recommended me this regimen. At first I doubted it is going to work and will just worsen the situation. But after watching this video and seeing how pretty you are now, I'm going to give it a try. This is my first week though. I really hope this would help. Wish me luck.
How did it go?
How did it go?
Wow awesome how a dermatologist knows this
how’d it go?
Results?
I never did skincare till I was 15, i’m now 16 and a couple months ago in the summer I broke out horribly. Coming across this video even though it was posted a while ago, i’m going to finally try this. I’ve kept depending on products and nothing has really worked. Little breakouts to then more breakouts getting bigger and it been so painful. I think the constant change in products, also hormones coming along with it but products have clogged my pores. I don’t break out at all around my neck, back, arms, chest just my face and it’s not super bad but it’s more than what I normally have. If it’s just my face it must be the products, so i’m going to finally let my face recover and regulate itself and let it do what it needs to do. Fingers crossed my skin can get back to the way it was. 😅
how it's going bro?
@@us7v223 gave up, made my acne worse lmao, it’s now all good, but after doing it for around a month it just wouldn’t calm down. It doesn’t work for everyone sadly.
@@sunxbloom_ how many weeks/ months did u try?
@@us7v223 I did around 3 weeks and a few days so just about 1 month, I figured by 2 weeks my skin would settle a little but just felt so oily and being out a lot and coming back and not washing my face felt awful. The air, the hard water in the shower, coming to winter my face was feeling more dry, it just wasn’t working because moisturiser on its own, buildup will just clog pores. Don’t stop if it’s working for you, but if you don’t see the results you want by 2 months, it may not be your thing. People say skincare is rubbish but for me and many, it is not rubbish at all, it can be important. Sunscreen to protect our faces from UV light, it’s very damaging. A gentle cleanser to wash dirt, oil and skin buildup. Our body’s shed once a month, so all that buildup can be prevented. If you’re acne prone, a spot treatment is key, it won’t go away effectively if you don’t do anything, not really it can depend. Moisturiser, our face has a skin barrier that’s very delicate, it can easily loose moisture from the drying air. All these things are important, our skins the biggest organ and needs to be taken care of. That’s just my personal opinion. :)
@@sunxbloom_ thanks mate
i used to depend so much on kbeauty n salicylic acid products and i think thats how i messed up my moisture barrier. My skin started to break out really bad but I got so tired to trying new products that I just stuck to washing with water. I broke out a lot around my jaw at first but i realised my forehead acne (which i struggled with) cleared up so fast.
The caveman regimen also really helps with dry skin ;)
