Your products are so great!

After 6 weeks on the regimen, my pimples have disappeared! I used to break out every month and now that is a distant memory. I went from using the Treatment twice a day to only at night because my skin has improved so much. I use the AHA in the morning in place of the Treatment.

I hope you are working on a dark mark/scar eraser for those zits we used to have that are still visible. My dream!!

I love these products, I just ordered a kit for my niece and I hope she has as much success as I have had.

Thanks, your website is great too.

It's really all about the regimen. It just makes so much sense. I started having serious issues with acne when I was 14. I'm talking horrible cystic acne on my chin. So I started Proactiv which sort of worked. Kind of. The problem with Proactiv is the cleanser which is just a horribly irritating exfoliator. Nobody should be exfoliating their face two times a day. Anyways, so there I was slowly killing my skin until I clued in that the only thing that was helping was the benzoil peroxide. So I stopped using the other garbage and was only using the benzoil peroxide. Miracle. My face was beautiful. Beautiful. However, it didn't last as long as I would have liked because as I was increasing the amount of BP I was using, I wasn't getting a shipment of Proactive soon enough. So then I thought it just wasn't working anymore. I cancelled my account and tried different products for about a year. No good. Then last April, I found this site. And there it was; the words benzoil peroxide. So I went to the pharmacy and I bought the stuff Clean and Clear makes which is 5% but nonetheless... I had beautiful skin again just in time for my highschool graduation and it was the best feeling in the world. I've been using it ever since and I still get the same great benefits. The only problem I'd say is that the 5% really does increase my skin sensitivity but I havent been able to find any 2.5% bezoil peroxide anywhere close to home. So i'll settle. I've never had such beautiful skin and I just want to say thank you. This really does work. I gave myself a month with a good, oil-free moisturizer, and I saw amazing results. Thank you so much!

hey, i'm one of your most devoted users, i've been using your regimen for about half a year now. I am newly 15 and i started getting acne the summer of 2000. It really wasn't bad at first but then it got worse, I had big huge lumps and i thought i'd have to go on accutane. I was scared because i heard it did stuff like make you sick and things like that, but one day i was surfing and i found your site and since wal-mart is down the street, i got the products quickly, I use your regimen and i am now clear of acne, but one thing is that you gotta keep doing it, for if you don't, you could break out. But man it's good to have clear skin. The little naive kids don't ask if you had the chicken pops :-). People with clear skin! Don't take advantage of it!!!

Thanks so much for making these products! I have sen some experience in just 1 day! yup 1 day! I found this site and I just wanted to give it a try. I have been struggling with acne when i was 13. now im 15. Everyone looked into my face and seen a TOTAL DIFFERENCE. I was so amazed. I would recommend this to my family and friends. I have tried everything to clear my acne but NOTHING worked WELL on me. I am continuing to use this product until i see FULL results. Thanks Dan!!

Hey Dan, before i get on to the Regimen, I just wanted to say thanks so much for creating this neutral and informative website. I feel that I can trust the information, that it has been well researched and has no commercial alterior motives.

I've had light to sometimes moderate acne since my early teens and have been tormented by it during bad outbreaks. I committed all the original sins like washing my face too much, irritating it with too much products - because I thought acne was caused by dirt or "grease" and desperately wanted to have control over it.

I started using the Regimen before but didn't use it properly - i was using the Benzoyl Peroxide as a spot treatment, infrequently and with a harsh cleanser like Clearasil. It made my skin dry and flaky so i stopped using it.

But then after reading through the site properly, a few years later, and understanding the science behind how it works, I started the Regimen again, building up the benzoyl peroxide slowly and using Cetaphil as a gentle cleanser. It took about a month to see results.

And now I've been doing it for about 6 months and for the first time in years, I am comfortable seeing people without make up on. I still have occasional breakouts but they are much more infrequent and much more managable. I catch the inflammation sooner and it is generally less noticeable under makeup. Gradually my skin is getting better and better because I'm getting less breakouts and so therefore there is less red scarring when my skin is clear.

I almost didn't want to write because i don't want to jinx it. But i am continuing to apply a thin layer of benzoyl peroxide every morning and evening, to maintain this.I use a Vichy Normaderm moisturiser, Clean and Clear Oil Blotting sheets throughout the day (because of makeup) and Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup. I've also for the first time been in a position to wear night cream (Nivea).

Thanks again Dan and keep up the good work!

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!

thank you so much dan. This website has inspired me to get clear. After suffering with acne for the past 4 years i am now at the tender age of 20 and am looking forward to regaining my self confidence. I stumbled across this site one night after spending hours looking at endless useless home remedies. One month after using your supplies i am on the verge of being completely clear and my acne scars are even improving. My dermatologist always gave me so much negative feedback when the answer was so simple to become clear. I have been on differin for almost a year and im sure it has helped with some scarring but i never could stop the breakouts. I was inspired to try your regimen because of the success stories and now im writing one of my own. thank you for changing my life and i hope to stay clear and my scarring will continue to improve under your regimen.

Hi Dan, I'm 26 years old and have had moderate acne breakouts since I was about 15. I've tried most perscriptions.. Benzomyacin, Benzoclin, Differin, Tazacor, and Retin-A, topically; Erythromyacin, Minocycline, and Tetracylcine orally; and many many over the counter products including Pro-Active (which is irritating to order with their stupid "club" sending your more when you don't need it) and Burt's Bees all natural skin regimen (which smells great.. but didn't clear up my acne). The only product that ever worked for me was Benzomyacin but it has to be refrigerated for it's effectiveness to stay potent and I have a job that requires a lot of travel so this was difficult for me. I kept stopping treatment and the acne kept coming back. I was having my latest breakout at age 25 when I decided to do some research of my own and found your website. I tried your regimen and your benzoyl peroxide treatment and now my skin is clearer than ever before! I am truly amazed. I just have to keep using the gel... because I still get breakouts as soon as I stop, but your gel is easy to apply and travel with so I've finally be able to keep up the regimen. Thanks!

Dan, I just wanted to thank you. I have tried products from proactive, murad, dermatologica, Obagi, and so many more and none of them have worked for me. Three months ago my fiance found your website and we ordered some of your acne gell. I haven't had acne since!!!!!

Thank You so much,

Julie, California


Completely, 100% clear from following the regimen!

Thank you so so much I've got my confidence back and feel amazing!
