Pros:

AHA works miracles, Awesome regimen.

Cons:

Takes time, Could burn at times.

I was on the regimen for about a month and a half. I started to see SOME improvement, on my cyst that i would get along the jawline but they were still there. I was about to call it quits and give into the accutane medication. Then i picked up my mail and I was happy because I finally received my AHA. WOW after 2 days the AHA pretty much made my cyst disappear! I am so glad I did not give up on the treatment and that I gave the AHA a try.. TRUST ME AHA IS A MUST IN THIS REGIMEN!!!

Pros:

- extremely effective
- fast results
- WORKS!! :-D
- more effective for me than prescription acne medications and competitor ProActiv Formula

Cons:

- itchy
- initially very drying
- initially flaking skin
- can feel like wearing a mask when so much product is left to soak into the skin and not washed off for many hours (can feel similar to wearing full-face heavy greasy makeup)

In short: BUY IT! TRY IT! IT WORKS! My backstory: I have suffered with moderate to moderately-severe acne - hundreds of whiteheads/papules/pustules, blackheads, milia, and some deep large hard raised nodules and cysts for the past 10 years. Doctors prescribed me medications for my acne, such as Akamin (minocyline) which resulted in all of my already-okay-pores becoming finer and if I went to squeeze bumps instead of hard lumps or puss coming out... clear watery liquid was all that was in there now. The medication also stopped me getting blackheads &rarely got those big hard painful cysts, but my skin still continued to be very bumpy all over and rough-to-the-touch all over my chest and back and face and all the whiteheads/papules/pustules continued to come. Aside from medication, I of course also tried just about EVERY over the counter cream, gel, mask, and powder (sulfur). I tried all the usuals... Neutrogena, Clearasil, Clean&Clear, etc etc etc. Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% 4% 6% 10%. Products with Salicylic Acid. Nothing made a really big difference consistently. I have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on trying different products for my skin. I tried ProActiv Formula. It severely aggrivated my skin. Dry, tight, extremely itchy, red and angry-looking AND THE PIMPLES NO IMPROVEMENTS. It was all-cons and ZERO positives. I tried using less product. I tried using it less frequently. But nothing made it work for my skin. I was painfully disappointed. I randomly stumbled on an acne.org clip on youtube &tried 'The Regime' procedure at home with the products I already own. For step 2 I mixed my 4% BP 50/50 with moisturizer to reduce the BP strength, followed by Step 3. I saw immediate improvement within 2 days & its come better&better over last 3 weeks. My skin is 99% clear! I'm so thrilled Dan's method works I just bought ALL of Dan's products in the biggest sizes which incl post cost me $157.92 to Australia. I'm s

Pros:

Effective for preventing moderate acne (I don't know about severe acne...).
A good amount of treatment for the price.
Even my old acne scars seem to be lighter.

Cons:

Doesn't absorb very quickly, takes some time (especially the moisturizer).
Suggested amount to use of the treatment is one large tube a month - I think you could do less (I'm using the same bottle from 6 months ago).

Good product that has worked for my moderate acne, hasn't made my skin perfect yet, but very significant progress... and much better than Proactive.

Miracle product!
I KID YOU NOT MY ACNE CLEARED UP IN A WEEK! I have had acne since middle school. My life started getting extremely stressful and my diet was trash. My face has always since then been oily as hell. I tried EVERYTHING on the market that wasn't a pill. Most of it just irritated my sensitive skin. Making me red and dry for about an hour then the oily would come back full force. THIS PRODUCT HOWEVER STARTED WORKING ON DAY TWO. Everyone's skin is different so I'm not saying you'll see results as soon as I did but I can guarantee THIS SH** WORKS! So glad I found it! MY SUGGESTIONS: Use the regime right! Don't add anything or subtract anything! Once your skin is more clear then decrease the amount. I barley use the BP anymore. I didn't keep increasing the amount of BP. Why? Because I didn't need to. You will know if you don't. Be gentle woth your face. I have a bit of rosacea on my cheeks so I can definitely tell when my skin is irritated. A light hand is the way to go. Only wash your face for 10 seconds. The longer the drier. Don't want to apply BP to dried out skin. It hurts! Be consistent.

Read if you have ever hated your skin that much
Towards the end of the year in 2015, I don't know why my skin decided to break out so bad (college finals and stress?) but I remember crying to myself in the mirror from how "horrid" I looked. I tried accutane in high school twice and somehow keep breaking out. On top of that I've used proactive, witch hazel, face masks, tree oil (which if you are using please stop. I was advised to do so by my dermatologist since she said it increases your breakouts), etc. I got to the point where I started watching makeup tutorials on ways to cover up horrible acne. I was advised by a friend that this was a great product and actually works unlike proactive. I gave it a shot, and I will never use anything else. My skin literally looks amazing. I started to notice I maintained and cleared up a good 90% of my acne in a month, after 3 months my skin looked great to a point where I wanted to help treat the scars. I've been using this for around 6 months, and yes I still have scars where my old acne was (definitely faded a good amount), and I break out a little here and there, but I only get 1 pimple at a time now versus 20. I don't wear foundation anymore with the need to "cover up" and "hide" everything. I wear foundation because I finally feel flawless in it. I stopped covering my hair on my face too because there is no longer anything to hide. For the first time in a long time, I feel confident and comfortable in my own skin. So to whoever is reading and is debating whether or not they should pay so much money for face wash, if you've been in my shoes it is worth every cent. You should never have to feel scared and insecure about your skin. It's painful to be that person who has all the acne in a room of clear skin folks. Give this a try, stick to the directions, and I promise you'll get to a point where you don't feel the need to pick at your beautiful face ever again. I'm 100% satisfied with this product.

Your comment literally explains my life! I've always had cleared skin until the ending of 2014 during college where as my skin just broke the hell out i where i literally jid myself for w damn year not wanting to go out, now it has calm down but it still not better either, notice alot of scarring and redness spot on my face and some indentation(?) And it really sucks being in a room filled with cleared skin folks self esteem dropped so low! I really want to give this regimen a try, but im afraid of the flakyness and the whole it gets worse before it gets good because I have alot of plans and things going on especially with new years coming up and spring semester, whats your intake on this regimen when you First started it!? TIA!!!

Change my life for the better!
I am a 16 year old teen who has never faced acne but for some reason this school year I had finally got really bad acne. I was super depressed I would not leave the house I had to always wear make up no matter I would always watch different people acne journey and that would give me motivation. I could never really look at my self in the mirror as I use to. So I tried EVERYTHING! Ice, drinking nothing but water, not going to fast food places, not touching my face, aloe Vera, toothpaste, pretty much anything you can think of and I would not see any improvement. So I just gave up. Later on i notice that one of my closest friend got rid of her acne so I asked her what she have used because I was super desperate and she recommended this acne.org kit so I thought to myself what the hell what could clearly mess up my face more if it didn't work so I ordered it on a Monday and I didn't receive it till Saturday it came really quick. So I have been using this for about 5 days so far and OMG I can see a HUGE change in my skin and feel all my bumps I had before have went down 10x smaller you can barely see them and feel so confident that I could actually LOOK at myself in the mirror. This product actually saved my life. But I do have to warn you that the side effects cause dryness. My lip area is SUPER dry but it's okay because I rather have a dry skin than have acne. So if you really are tired of having acne give this product a try.

Forehead bumps gone!
I never ever write reviews but I made an account for this site just to give my input. When i first heard about acne.org I thought it was some kind of hoax because the name itself sounds like a scam and I heard about it from a youtube video and once i looked into it everyone was saying how it was a miracle and i thought it was way too good to be true and must be some sort of promotional scam thing. But I was wrong! I have literally no affiliation whatsoever with acne.org or anything I just saw it on youtube and ordered it. It took awhile to come in (like a week or two i think) and I tried using cetaphil products in the way Dan recommends if you dont want to order the kit but I feel like the kit works WAY better so I would buy the actual kit. My face has completely cleared up in only a week and a half of using it!! I am so so happy I cant stop staring at my skin. My skin before: big red pimples on cheeks, under the skin cysts on temples by my hairline, and tiny bumps all over forehead that you couldnt really see unless the light shined on me in a certain way. It cleared all of this up! (i still have redness and scarring from my cheek pimples but its only been like two weeks). What i am most amazed about it that my tiny forehead bumps all cleared because I have had success with other acne treatments in the past but they NEVER cleared my forehead bumps until this! Highly recommend! I will make a post on my page with tips for using the regimen if you want to read that too!

Amazing!!!
I just want to say, I never really post a review unless I am VERY pleased with the product and by far, this has worked wonders with my skin!! I've tried just about EVERYTHING you can think of to get rid of my severe acne and nothing has worked as well as this product. I suffered from acne since middle school and I'm 22 now. I was still getting the huge severe cystic acne all around my cheeks and chin. After the first week of using this Regimen, my face has cleared up nearly 100% and I haven't gotten a break out yet! Using this product may make your face really dry but I noticed if you put more moisturizer on it helps with the dryness. Overall, I'm happy as ever and recommend this to anyone tired of their acne!
