I am 33 years old and have NEVER used a product(s) that worked.

I was skeptical yet hopeful that these Acne.org products would be helpful. After watching and reading the reviews. I decided to purchase the products from Acne.org because they are a much less expensive than the comparable drug store stuff. I didn't really have acne as a teen but started getting acne that has gotten increasingly worse since I was 25 years old. I am always very self conscious and worried that I look dirty because I have acne. Well, I have only been using the regimen for 3 weeks and when I put thestuffonfor the first time in years my face is SMOOTH! I don't know how well the pics portray because I have scars, but I have had no breakouts whatsoever and my face is clear because of The Regimen! I am so pleased and thankful for this website. My only complaint is that I did not find it sooner!

Thank you Dan. From the bottom of my heart , I feel so much better about my appearance because of these products. You rock!

I can't even begin to tell you how much of an impact your Regimen has had on me! I turned 19 in January, and my face hadn't gotten any better. I looked into buying expensive Mario Badescu products, and I was THIS close. I remembered going to Acne.org and how much it all made sense to me. So, I bought the starter kit (which has lasted me till now and will last MUCH longer), and I can't even believe the difference! I wanted to write you after the first week, but I had also been on Proactiv and Murad, so i already knew that things always just got worse. I'm proud to say that it's been three weeks today and my face is totally, perfectly, CLEAR! As a college kid I never realized how much more confidence I could have, and your Regimen helped me realize it! You changed my life Dan! Thanks and God bless!

Dear Dan,

I was nervous about writing sooner and jinxing my success with the regimen, but at this point I am certain that it works and wanted to thank you so much for all of your hard work in this area. You obviously dedicated a lot of time to figuring out what exactly worked and then even more time to creating an informational and healing forum for those who were still struggling. I knew that my acne was affecting my confidence, but it wasn't until I began following the regimen and allowing myself to imagine life without acne that I truly realized how low my self-confidence was in many situations due to it. It is clear how wonderful a person you in your presentation of facts, in your humility, and in the hard work you have obviously put into creating a great product. Thank you so much, the Regimen is nothing short of a miracle. You are my hero!

Sincerely,

Lora, Phoenix, AZ


I'm 26 years old, and I have had moderate acne since I was about 14. I have tried an ungodly amount of products and treatments over the past 12 years, over-the-counter as well as prescription. Nothing has ever worked. When I came across Dan Kern's site one day, I decided to give it a shot. The first 2 days I noticed no difference, but by the 3rd morning my skin had a fresh breakout, was extremely red, itchy, dry and irritated. I knew that these were side effects that might come up in the first week or so, as Dan warns, but I had a really hard time with it for a couple of days. Going to work or anywhere out in public was really tough. My skin was so red and dry that it was litterally flaking off and I could feel it crack when I smiled. Not that I was doing much smiling! I almost quit then. But Dan said this can happen, and you have to stick it out so that your skin can adjust. It took a lot of will power, but I stuck it out. I will tell you though, I adjusted the regimen a t!
eensy bit. See, my skin is extremely sensitive and dry to begin with, even without the BP. So here is what I do: NIGHT: I wash with the cleanser, I use a much smaller amount of the BP than what I started out using, I only use it in problem areas, and I use the moisturizer. MORNING: I wash with the cleanser, I use a teensy bit of the BP as a spot treatment only (or in major problem areas), and I use a stronger moisturizer (Alba Botanicals Jasmine & Vitamin E). I also exfoliate my skin (very gently, Dan!) at least twice a week. As all women know, it is very hard to put on makeup over flaky skin with passable results. Exfoliating eliminates the flakiness. I do it in my moring shower with the cleanser and a wash cloth, VERY GENTLY rubbing in little circles.
It has been 4 weeks now, and I don't even remember those 2 or 3 rough days at the beginning. My skin is fantastic. It is soft and lovely and CLEAR, and I'm still in shock. I don't even need to wear makeup. Dan, how can I ever thank you?

Hi,

Since I was around 15 my face broke out in terrible acne. However, unlike some you might see online that cover the face and will eventually leave scars mine where generally a few massive, red and sore ones. My whole face would look blotchy and, well, being in school like that was terrible. My inner circle of friends didn't care but I kind of lost all hope of ever curing it. As i got towards the age of around 18 it was still there but not as bad. I'd often get a lot on my chin, sides of nose and neck. I then took time to try to find a good moisturizer and face wash. However, all the ones I tried felt as if they were burning me or making my face too dry to the extent that when I laughed i'd often get a crack in my skin where it was dry. So only in the last year (i'm 23 now) I found your website and decided to try benzoyl peroxide. So as if I was forgetting the past and starting from scratch I decided to go all natural. I first decided to only but face washes and moisturizers that were made from natural ingredients.

So that night I first used the face wash which left my skin quite dry. I then applied the benzoyl peroxide in certain areas and after that dried I was generous with the moisturizer I applied.

Anyway, after awhile of doing your regimen I feel that my skin has gotten so much better. My chin rarely get spots and it's all going good. Thankfully it never go so bad that I got scars but on closer inspection I personally feel that my face might have a slightly gravely look to it but that could be just me. If there's one thing I've learned over the years it's when you have acne and look in the mirror day in day out you find stuff that no one else would even notice, you're your biggest critic I guess.

A huge thanks from Ireland. It's not perfect yet but I'm over the hump.

Thank you

I used to think that bad skin was just the way of life for me. I'm healthy, low-stress, low-maintenance and don't wear make-up. I couldn't figure out why my breakouts were getting out of control and would never clear up for more than a couple weeks no matter what I'd try.

I found your website and because of the examples and open advice, I decided to try it. I never really concerned myself with looks, per se. I just notice that at 27, I shouldn't be so discouraged about the way I look because of horrible skin. I'd breakout one week and have scars to last even after the next breakout - a cycle of monthly problems. I was covered in marks, painful red bumps and/or pimples. I had enough when I noticed that I had no clear sections at all. Since age 13 it's usually been the 'T' section but with a face covered in acne, it's very difficult for people to see past the diseased look.

I am no longer frustrated by anyone's crazy advice (wash/don't wash, scrub/don't scrub, toners, masks, potions!!), most of these folks have no clue what's it's like to have bad acne. In less than one month, you have completely changed me life. This is the first time in almost 15 yrs......I have NO new breakouts. I've stopped going to the dermatologist, wasting incredible amounts of money and time. I am not taking pills, overpriced globs of prescription meds and it's been more than the usual one good face day! I experienced very little irritation - mild face wash, benzoyl peroxide, moisturizer (with SPF) and that's it!!!

Bless you for sharing your miracle regime and not scamming the world. This is truly the simplest, most effective and ultra affordable life-altering gift in the world for me. I'm stationed in Korea and any time I have a friend with my previous life's problems, I give them my benzoyl peroxide and they are happy campers. I remember the pain I went through and love you for helping me show my outer beauty. Sadly, I'd always shy away from cameras so I have no pictures to show the before and after effects. Believe me, anyone who's known me prior to this - can vouch, I look as though I had a complete make over.

Constantly, remarkably and enjoyably - Clear!!!

I just wanted to say that I have tried everything to fight my acne problems. I have had moderate (and occasionaly serious) acne problems since I was 12 years old, and I am now 20 facing the same issue. I stumbled across your regimen on the internet when I was desperately searching for a solution (yet again). The process seemed simple, it didn't seem like you were marketing a product, and there seemed to be numerous testimonials, so I figured why not. I've been on the regimen for only about two weeks now, and I started seeing results from Day 1. As I said, it has been a couple weeks and already I am nearly acne-free. All that remains are a few red spots from past zits. Because of the early age when this problem began, I never really developed socially, I was always too embarrased to hang out with people, or talk to people I didn't know. Now I go out with friends, meet new people, I even did karaoke at a bar in front of a huge crowd last Friday. I just want to say Thank You for your help. My skin hasn't been this clear in almost nine years. I'm already spreading the word about your regimen to others.

THANK YOU,

Charles


My daughter's dermatologist wanted to put her on Accutane, but I was concerned about the side effects. I researched options and found your website.

I am thrilled to report that my daughter's skin has never looked better. (A friend who lives out of town saw her this summer for the first time in awhile, and she said that my daughter's skin looked flawless. Nice compliment!)

My daughter was using two types of antibiotics and tons of expensive creams that cost several hundred dollars even with our co-pay. She's off all of those now. Your regimen really works, and I've been telling everyone I know with teenage kids to try it. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this effective treatment.

Your karma is ROCKING.

my sister, who is 9 years older than me, battled acne from her early teen years into her mid-twenties [lack of a good face wash, i guess] and then she discovered acne.org. when i got to about the right age to start breaking out, she warned me because she didn't want me to get acne scars like she has. i procrastinated, and consequently started breaking out [big surprise, right?] anyway, she told me about your website, which cleared her acne up amazingly within weeks of starting the program. i have never had any problem with my acne, and i've been on the regimen for over a year now.

I LOVE these products ... I use them every morning and night and will always be a repeat customer .. after trying many, many products this is the only one that cleared up my adult acne and kept it off ... I started to use the natural soap on my son's legs that were so dry that after taking a shower he would scream because they itched and hurt so bad .. after using the soap for 2 days he came up and told me that his legs didn't make him wanna cry anymore .. he is 6 years old!! I have told all my friends and family about these products and refer anyone and everyone to this website!! You guys are wonderful!!!!
