The only product that worked
My daughter had mild acne for the last two years. I took her to several dermatologist and no cream worked. I came across acne.org and I decided to give it a try after I read the reviews. I ordered the products one time but somehow due to a glitch in the internet I was told I ended up ordering a year supply. After I requested for a refund and sent the products back, I was able to get my money back even though it took me a few weeks to get the credit. Bottom line, my daughter was very happy to use these products and she has asked me to order them again. The products have really worked and she is clear of acne. I highly recommend using these products, they really work.

Worked wonders!! Eventually lol

Pros:

Clear skin!!

Cons:

Dry skin at first

I started the regimen about three years ago and I haven't gone a day since where i haven't used it. At first my skin was really dry and flaky (i have extremely sensitive skin though) and the jojoba oil helped with that (i still use it every night and morning in my moisturizer and i have baby soft skin now!!) after 3 months of using it, i had zero acne just dry skin and eventually the dry skin did go away. I have extremely clear skin now, i'll get the odd zit here and there but who doesn't? These products changed my life! Though it was hard at first, it worked wonders in the end. If you're just starting this product, keep going!!!!!!!! I promise it will work for you!!

Elegant formulas for a great price.

Pros:

Product are exceptionally gentle.
They are easy to spread and absorb.
BP is gentle, yet effective at combating acne.

Cons:

Shipping takes forever.
No SPF.
This is a Pro: The products are huge and value priced.

I am 30 and have struggled with acne since my early twenties. Even though I have acne, my skin is normal to dry. I started to use the Regimen about a month ago with drug store products. Formulation wise, they weren't very elegant and left a white cast on my skin. I started to use Dan's products about a week into the Regimen, and wow!, what a difference! The texture of every product make them easy to spread and absorb. The cleanser is super gentle. The BP leaves no white cast, so it is easy to use the recommended dose. I also found that it wasn't as irritating as the BP cream I was using. I love the Jojoba Oil and AHA+, they really smooth my skin out and combat any flakes caused by the BP. Finally the moisturizer is highly moisturizing and a little on the rich side. I have normal, not oily, skin and so I like that. I mix it with the Jojoba Oil to give my skin extra hydration; I haven't had any problems with flakes because of it. I highly recommend the Regimen to anyone struggling with acne, but especially do it with Dan's products because of the quality and elegance of the formulations.

Pros:

Clears up acne quickly
Cost
Easy

Cons:

Dry skin

I've had light acne all through my teens, and to try and control it, I started proactiv. after 8 months of it getting worse, i've been searching for anything to help my now moderate acne. I LOVE this product. It's the only thing that works! I've order the jojoba oil and AHA+ and can't wait to get it. I recommend to ANYONE! Don't wait until you have a crying fit and are at your wits end. I can't say enough good things!

Pros:

This stuff is AWESOME! I used to have breakouts periodically throughout my life with brief periods of clear skin. As an adult in the business world, you don't want any breakouts. I tried it, continued to wear my makeup, foundation, etc. and it cleared my skin. I mean SMOOTH, soft, CLEAR SKIN.
At first, there was a texturizing skin adjustment, but once your skin gets used to the product you'll love it. There have been times where I didn't even do the treatment, either too tired or away from hom

Cons:

Not a "Con" really more of a workaround. I’ve found that some makeup isn’t removed with the mild cleansing (with your fingers) only. Your skin/makeup may require you incorporate a textured cleansing cloth – like the long ones used for the body to lightly exfoliate & cleanse the face completely removing the makeup residue. REMEMBER, DO NOT SCRUB. I found these cleansing cloths at the 99-cent store and cut them into thirds yielding me three face washcloths.Then when I'm done I can simply tos

Set relistic expectations & find the routine that works best for YOUR skin type!. No pills! Inexpensive! No weird treatment to make you feel like a leper! No negative stigmas associated when using this regime! Let's be honest, as a woman our sex appeal is in the face ' that's the first thing a man sees & touches - your FACE! Finally' if you think you lost it, go get your SEXY BACK!! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

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.
