Saved my face
I`m 22 years old male, I had CYSTIC ACNE since 19. I bought acne.org regimen and in 2 week time i was clearing up, but for myself - I also started to eat organic/healthy foods and apples which MOST definetlly helped. I can also stronly recommend eating coconut oil, various seed oils, honey, probiotics. Do some quality reaserch how to eat healthy for good skin!!! Till that nothing worked - no treatment (lasers and creams). I have been using the regimen for 3 months, and acne has reduced by 90%. Really happy about it, so I definetlly recommend it :) Skin is kinda dry now, but that doesn`t bother me, nor does the minimal blemishes :)

The GREAT but the BAD
so I got this at the end of February. I was DYING for it to come in. I had used the treatment & lotion a long time ago and the treatment cleared my acne but it came back months later and I tried benzogel but it didn't do ANYTHING for me so I ordered the whole kit. my skin was getting awful. like EVERYONE was commenting on it!!!!! especially that I had beautiful clear skin. so I got it...I followed the instructions. every day I woke up with CLEARER, BETTER, MORE BEAUTIFUL SKIn!!!!!!! but... after about 2-3 weeks of using it my skin is dry as hell. I stopped using the treatment in the hope it clears. I got jojoba oil too. around my eyes is like a sahara, its so flaking and awful. my skin texture from close up is bad, very dry and flaky. is it worth the dryness and eye irritation that my skin is clear? HELL YEAH. TRY IT. I RECOMMEND IT. be sparingly with the treatment. or maybe its the lotion that is hurting my eyes, who knows!

Worst mistake ever!! 😠- 😠-
If there is anything i regret more than anything in this world is buying this product. Worst mistake of my life. Bought this product 3-4 months ago and my acne has drastically gotten worse. i tried inboxing the acne.org team to find out what could be wrong and all they did was ignore me. I have decided to use up all the product since it was so damn expensive but that is the first and last time buying this. I feel conned and i have warned all my friends who were to buy it against buying it. My acne is so bad right now i cannot believe it. I was so excited when i ordered this product. I felt like i could fly halfway and meet the plane flying this product to me as i could not wait to use it and i was 100% certain that my acne journey would finally come to an end. Now all i do is look at my face and shed tears 😪😪😪

For some it could take less than 3-4 months to see results. Others more.. In my case I was lucky to see my skin clear around 3 months. I wish you the best in this regimen and I know exactly how you feel but if it helps maybe keep trying it and if that doesn't work then I'd recommend a dermatologist.. Best of luck!

Try skipping the program's moisturizer, and find another gentle one. That is the one product that could cause issues for some. Also, did you try adding fish oil & zinc to your daily multi? I had much better results when doing that. Definitely check out the 'Diet & Stress' section--found under the About Acne tab on the right side. Also, stay out of the sun, and use sunscreen daily. Another help, may be to get your hormones checked out (blood work under a doctor's care), as there may be more to your situation that what is obvious. I am not doubting your diligence, it is just some people need more than just the regimen to see results. Wishing you the best.

Best thing I could have done for myself!
I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING from Pro Activ, to drugstore, to natural, to prescription and NOTHING worked. I started using acne.org and was feeling a bit discouraged at first as my skin got so dry I could hardly stand it and I felt embarrassed to go in public with my flakey face. THIS PASSES; your skin will adjust to the peroxide in about one months time and from there on our you will see massive results. I could not believe how incredibly this cleared up my skin. It got rid of all those nasty little bumps under my skin, all the blackheads on my nose, and prevents breakouts 9/10. (I do get a small pimple here and there from time to time but nothing that doesn't go away within one day!) I would recommend this to anyone who has lost hope. Splurge on this product and treat yourself to an incredible new face. You will not be disappointed that you tried this product! Things to keep in mind: You MUST be patient with the regimine as your skin may get worse before it gets better but it WILL get better. FOLLOW THE STEPS CLOSELY if you want results! The regimine is pretty strict and it can be time consuming. Don't lose hope if you don't see results right away as this system takes time to work. You won't see perfect skin in a couple weeks. It may takes moths for your complexion to be perfectly clear!

AMAZING!!! Started working immediately!
I have struggled with severe acne since I was really young. Nothing ever worked to get rid of my acne to a point that i felt comfortable wearing little to no makeup. I saw this regimen on this random video on youtube and was like that looks amazing. so i did some (or should i say a ton) of research. I decided after a few weeks to just go ahead and take the plunge. I had pretty high hopes ones a figured the product could never amount up to but boy was i wrong! I started this regimen and within three day (yeah three days) my skin was already starting to look so much better. I was getting compliment from friend and my family! I hadn't told any one i was starting this btw. Ive been on this for awhile now and i can say that my skin has never ever looked this good!! it really shocks me that not only did it get rid of my current acne but any future breakouts like whatsoever! i haven't had one pimple in over 2 weeks! like what!! I recommend this product to any one and everyone who suffers with mild to sever acne it will change you skin and it change your confidence! Oh and make sure to buy the jojoba oil with the regimen because unless your like extremely oily this will dry you out seriously for the first week or so. but if you use the jojoba oil you will be good to go!

Not for me
So I never write reviews but in this case I thought it was necessary. I have very sensitive/problematic skin with moderate acne. I've tried so many different drugstore products and nothing worked for me. So I did my research and decided to order the regimen with the jojoba oil. I followed the instructions very carefully and it seemed to be working for the first two weeks but then things started to go downhill. My skin got SOOOOO dry. Especially around my chin, mouth and nose. I could barely open my mouth without my skin cracking. I layered on the jojoba oil and moisturizer but nothing worked. My acne started coming back, my skin was red and very irritated and I was losing hope but I decided to keep using the products. Then I reached the 1 month mark and decided maybe the gycolic acid would help with the dryness... WORST decision of my life. My skin got waaaay worse. My skin burned, turned red (and stayed red) and the dryness got even worse. It made me so upset that I decided to take a break from using the product. I couldn't stand the dryness, burning and discomfort anymore. My guess is my skin is too sensitive for this product. I may continue using it as a spot treatment once my skin has healed but I'm not sure. So to all you fair, sensitive skinned beauties out there, proceed with caution.

Simple and effective.
Take 3-6 months and try it. After all, you've probably spent lots of time and money on lots of other products, right? Here's the thing, though: DO NOT add non-regimen products to your routine. If you wear make-up, read Daniel Kern's information about cosmetics and be very savvy about the all-over cosmetics you buy (foundation, primer, blush, powder, etc). I used a popular chain cosmetic store's very generous return policy to try out skin-friendly brands. I selected items that were fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and with as few ingredients as possible. When I found a winner, I knew my choice would not be overriding the benefits of the regimen. Also, be aware of other external factors that can cause acne. The regimen is not a miracle cure. My cystic acne required prescription care as a teenager. I still have large pores and am prone to blackheads. That said, the regimen keeps my skin consistent amid life's inconsistencies. I still have stress acne and some breakouts around a certain time of the month. That might mean one or two small pimples, though, compared to major fallout from a vicious acne cycle (stress, major breakout, stress over breakout, more breakout, scarring, stress. etc.). Take the time and effort to give your skin the chance it deserves. And I really hope the regimen works for you as it has, happily, worked for me.

it works but super duper dry and flaky

Pros:

it somewhat does get rid of pimples

Cons:

super duper dry
flaky and redness on skin
it burns your face

My sisters and I used this product for a month. I stopped after I notice the dryness. My sister kept on using because she wants to get rid of her pimples. It does works but it is super dry. My sister face becone flaky and red. IIt's like she is having an alergic reaction or it is buring her face reallt badly. I'm feling really bad for her b/c she care about her skin a lot. Now this product make her skin look worst than before. It works but you have to suffer a lot. It is up to you to decide wwhether or not you willing to taake that risk

When you cant use the regimen anymore...

Pros:

works

Cons:

cant use it anymore

I loved the regimen... when I could use it. I used one pump every night for about a year and a half before I developed an allergic reaction to it. My eyes got REALLY swollen and itchy (not the normal redness that occurs at the start of the regimen) I had to stop even though I knew I was going to start breaking out again. That really freaked me out so I started to do some research on alternatives. I've tried a lot of recommended products and some weird cooky homemade remedies as well. My acne is mostly hormonal but what I've found to be most affective should work for any type of breakout. I use Burt's Bees Soap Bark and Chamomile face wash twice a day. I use Aveeno daily moisturizer (using non facial moisturizer scared me at first, but its really about finding what YOUR skin likes) in the morning and wipe my face down with lemon juice (bottled is fine) before bed. When I get a spot break out, I soak it in warm salty water with a cotton swap. I ice it and then I cover it in lemon juice and salt and wait for it to dry. Ive also found aspirin dissolved in witches hazel to be affective for relieving redness. In addition, excersizing really seems to help (which is kind of weird I know haha.) Good luck!!

Works Better Than Most!

Pros:

Works Very Well
Products help my makeup spread more evenly and cover my scars better
Almost like a religious ritual

Cons:

Takes a long time for the products to dry
Difficult to follow the regimen every day
I'm not very attractive at night with a goopy face

I am 27 years old and have been suffering from acne and the resulting scars for about fifteen years. It's only gotten worse as I've gotten older, which sucks as someone attempting to look professional. A combination of the acne.org Regimen and mineral makeup have made a huge difference in my life. My medication history: In high school, I went on birth control and it made my skin look like that of a beautiful newborn baby. So smooth and perfect. A few months after going off of birth control (mood swings and weight gain were killer), the acne came back. Badly. I went on antibiotics in college and they worked great the first time around, but the idea of being on antibiotics for so long made me uncomfortable so I ditched them after a year. Again, acne returned in full force. The next year, I went back on the same antibiotics and they didn't work at all. I then went to a dermatologist and was prescribed a 10% benzoyl peroxide wash as well as an insanely expensive cream to use 2x a day, which I used as directed and it barely worked. After that, I gave up for awhile and just washed my face with whatever salicylic acid product I had lying around. Obviously that didn't do much. About a year ago I bought the acne.org Regimen for the first time and it has worked better than everything else besides the oral medication which I'd rather stay away from. I'm giving the Regimen a 5/5 because it works pretty well for me and I don't use it EXACTLY as directed all the time. There are nights I just don't feel like slathering tons of cream on my face in front of my boyfriend, if you get my drift. And there are mornings I'm in too much of a hurry to wait for all of the products to dry, so I only apply the lotion. As a woman, I'm also able to conceal 95% of my acne with makeup, aided by the acne.org lotion which works really well as a base on which to evenly distribute my foundation (I use Bare Minerals). Again, I don't use this product exactly as directly, but even so I have been very satisfied by the results in combination with a good mineral makeup.
