Pros good acne preventive
gel is smooth and applies nicely
Cons drying, but use moisturizer
Bottom line For BP, I think this is the best formula I have tried. I am 38 and still dealing with skin issues..my skin is extremely sensitive and I have mild rosasea. Using this product nightly, applying as indicated by the directions, keeps my acne very manageable. I use only at night, since I use the rosacea cream in the AM. If I stray from using it, I do pay for it with little breakouts. For spot treatments, I dab Proactiv acne drying mask on them, and that does well for me. For mosturizer, I am currently using Cerave--in the the PM and the AM.

Pros - clears up acne fast
- drys up pimples and reduces them in size
- goes on smooth
- goes well under makeup (foundation) giving you a matte finish
- did not dry out my skin
- really cheap for a lot of it
Cons - cant go sun tanning
Bottom line I bought the 5% BP. The Benzagel brand.

I was my face with Johnson's Natural Head-To-Toe baby wash. Then i let my face dry for 5 mins. When its completely dry, i evenly apply the Benzagel all over my face (excluding under and around the eyes, mouth, and nose). I let that dry. Then i apply spectro moisturizer. It works perfectly! I do the same in the morning except i subtitute the moisturizer with Vichy's Dermablend foundation (it has enough moisturizer in the formula). Ive think ive found my perfect routine :)

I saw improvment after the first use. In a week my face was completely clear! I think it works differently for everyone, but it was amazing.

Pros None
Cons Caused severe irritation and an awful rash that looked like acne scars or the chicken pox.
Bottom line The only thing I can thank the Acne.org Regiment for is showing my (awful) allergy to benzoyl peroxide.

I have mildly oily skin which never really gets irritated or dry. I switched to the Acne.org method using Cetaphil cleaner and lotion (which I had used before) and Nutrogena On-The-Spot as the BP. Within the first few days my skin got irritated and I started getting more/larger acne, which from reading reviews seemed normal. Then by the end of the first week I started "scarring." Big red circles that looked like acne scars wherever a zit had been. It looked like I had a disease. I lived with this condition, hoping it would become better, for two awful weeks. I started wearing more makeup (all non comedogenic) to hide it, but it showed through. I was miserable. I finally decided enough was enough and switched to Mary Kay's system for oily skin: a mild cleanser, a Salicylic acid toner, and an oil control lotion. Within one use, not exaggerating, the scarring started to fade. it only took three days to go away completely.

Its obvious that the Regiment has worked for a lot of people, but I didn't read a single review of someone with this reaction. I had no idea I was allergic until this so I just wanted there to be a review out there!

Pros - big size tube
- dries smooth, not sticky
- spreads well
- is already clearing up my skin
Bottom line I am so glad I switched to this from the previous treatment I was using. I had no idea how huge the tube would be! It is working better than my previous treatment, with little to no sting.

Pros works quickly
does not dry skin
low cost
The 8 oz tube lasts a long time
Cons none for me
Bottom line I had teenage acne.

I obtained two different products for my acne from a dermatologist over a period of a year and neither worked for me.

I ordered your product which I use as instructed and everyone has noticed a difference within 2 weeks. I would say my acne has cleared up 80%
Very happy with my new appearance.
I will certainly recommend your product to anyone. The price is a present to all of us who have limited funds to spend on acne products when saving for college is a priority.

Pros Very high quality Benzoyl peroxide, goes on light and absorbs very nicely leaving no white residue since it is a BP Gel, this it the most effective BP and I have tried them all over since my teens Im 28 now and found something that really works! and is light, does not sting, or smell bad, this has helped keep me clear
Cons none for me.
Bottom line with our busy lives it can seem very hard to stick the regime every day in and day out, but its worth it, its all about dedication baby! I some times forget to do it myself and still have been clearer than before I started using all of Acne.org's products I am currently using the Treatment, AHA at night, and Cleanser twice a day and to shave and it has worked for me!
Give it a shot! you wont regret it

Pros -worked FAST.
-clear gel.
-doesnt rub off.
-short drying time.
Cons -made face very dry for first couple weeks, stings eyes bad while it dries, pre mature aging (from what I've heard).
Bottom line I love this! I finally decided after 2 and a half weeks I'd write a review. And I have to say this really worked, and fast. I always had very light acne, 1-2 zits at the most, but during the summer I started breaking out really bad (in my opinion) with almost moderate acne. Two weeks of extreme drying, I am clear, with the exception of a couple zits from the aha purging. Thank you Dan! You literally brought my self confidence back! :) keep up the good work!

Pros helped my acne TREMENDOUSLY
Cons dries out skin just a bit but it is so worth it
Bottom line ive been using this for about a month and i am so happy. i was skeptical about buying it at fisrt cus i had tried EVERYTHING to help my acne but i figured why not. just after 4 weeks i havent had any bad breakouts and im happy to say that i dont have any zits on my face. and trust me, i had a ton about a month ago. i remember i would wake up every morning and have at least 5 new zits a day but now my only problem is flakiness. pls pls pls try this its helped me so much and i know how it feels to suffer with acne it really sucks. follow the regimen and all will be well

Pros Cheap for the quantity you get
Cons made my skin ultra oily
did not absorb..... ever
Bottom line I really wanted to be able to use this product but it never absorbed into by skin and made me look like I had a super shiny face. Even after hours it just seemed to sit on top of my skin like a lovely coat of wax all dry and shiny. I am returning, and continuing to use Neutrogena's on the spot treatment that seems to do a much nicer job.
