Wish I never started using this product.
I was DESPERATE. I wanted my acne to be gone for good so I did my research and after trying numerous products (that never seemed to work) I stumbled upon "the regimen". I lasted about a week just researching the product and seeing videos from people who have bought the it; since they were all satisfied and claimed they had amazing results, I went ahead and bought it. It just made my acne worst. I started getting acne in places around my face that I wouldn't normally get. Now I am in no way bashing the product I am just writing this because when i bought the product there seemed to barely ( if any) have any "bad" reviews. Also I am aware that there is a certain way the product should be put on and all that but sadly for me it just didn't work. All in all, some products dont work on everyone and this definitely did not work for me. GOOD LUCK!

This product brings all acne under the skin to the surface before it clears it up! That is what I found happened to my face too! Don't lose hope. You must be persistent for about a month and a half before you start seeing real results and about 4-6 months before your face will be 100% clear! This stuff isn't a one week miracle but it certainly is a miracle is you're patient with it and go through the annoying breakouts and dry skin first!

I experience the same thing. I never had acne around my mouth or on my cheeks and jawline but I've been using the regimen for over 2 months now and it just keeps spreading. It did go away on my forehead and temples but keeps appearing in new places. Still hoping it gets better but it might just be wishful thinking!:/

Seeing results within 4 days
I had very light acne as a teenager. I started to use proactive which dried my skin out terribly, made my face red & made my acne worse! I now have moderate acne because of it. But Im on the regimen for 4 days now & im seeing crazy results. I never thought this would work so fast. Now I have less acne. The redness on my face is also gone, the dark spots are fading slowly. This is the only product that helped me. I tried steroids, Birth control, more meds, even went to a dermatologist to take out all my pimples(it made it worse btw) I spent so much money trying to find the product that actually works. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WORKS. I definitely recommend this product. Thank you so so so much for this product!

Clearing Up
For those who just want to know 'did it work?', I'll just say I have been using it for almost six weeks now and my acne has improved significantly. I have tried many, many products, prescription and over the counter. Even tried smearing raw honey and cinnamon over my face and to no avail. Nothing worked and some things just made it worse. The Acne.or regimen is still working and hopefully my acne will clear up completely in the next couple weeks. The dryness however can be quite embarrassing but if the treatment works, it is well worth it! I give it five stars in hopes that it will work.

This product is a life saver.
I've had mild to extreme acne since the 5th grade, and it got worse each year leading up to now. Acne has always been my worst flaw and my biggest insecurity. I've always covered it up with layers of makeup just so I felt comfortable in public. After 4 years of living in misery with my acne, and after trying many, MANY products, I found this regimen. I was a little on the edge about trying it, because I found it online and heard of it in commercials. I don't normally trust the internet for my medications. I watched plenty of youtube reviews and checked with my facialist before I bought it. I will never, ever regret buying this regimen. It works better than the products my dermatologist suggested. When I started using this treatment, my acne flared within the first week, but I continued to use it, in hope that my acne would die down. After the first week, my face started to become clearer and clearer. I've now been using this product for a month, and worn makeup with it, and my skin has never looked better. Thanks to Acne.org, I no longer have to be ashamed of my acne, and I feel beautiful. I am never, EVER turning back from this regimen, and I can't wait until my face is completely clear.

Slayed my Teenage Acne
At the age of fourteen, I was suffering from some serious acne. It would spread all over my forehead...Yep, the one place where everyone looks. Let's not forget about the acne on the sides of my temple and on my chin..It was all fabulous...Not. I tried everything that I could find in my local drug store...I tried simple cleansers like Clean and Clear Morning burst or a simple Oil free cleanser...No progress..I even tried facial scrubs and clay mask..Nothing. Finally, I remembered that I had ordered a sample size regimen last year for $5. I remember how little acne I had and my clear face after trying out the product..Immediately, I ordered the full size regimen kit and saw beautiful results two days after..Two days after, my acne became smaller..Over time, my face began to clear and I now have one pimple from forgetting to use the regimen twice per day (whoops !) Within three weeks, I saw my results and now , at the age of 15, I feel amazing :) Hope you can too!

I'm 13 with hormonal acne and somewhat oily skin. Will this help me? Also, school starts in 2 1/2 weeks so I don't know if it would be a bad idea to start it now. What do you think?

Im kinda commenting too late but if you have started doing it then i suggest taking zinc because its supposed to control acne caused by hormones. If you do this make sure you take copper supplements too because zinc can deplete the copper in your body.

Quite amazing
I've had cystic acne for 2, long miserable years. My acne days actually started before that. It wasn't bad of course, but I remember way back in the second grade I was so embarrassed because I had a big ol' zit on my chin on picture day! the SECOND grade!!! Okay so it's just been really hard for me. I'm a rising ninth grader and I can't even express how awful middle school was for me (ya know just crying in the bathroom stalls and shedding a tear in the back of the line....just the same old stuff). EVERY person that surrounded me had the most beautiful skin that I dreamed of. The awful looks they gave me will be something I'll never forget. I remember exactly how I discovered this product. I was having one of the worst breakouts in my life and was an emotional wreck and was watching all these videos on YouTube on how people cleared up their skin. Then some girl was talking about the acne.org regimen and that was something I had not heard of before so I did tons of research on it. That was way back in January and i finally got it in June. I got it in June because I didn't wanna go to school with peely dry skin which was supposed to be one of the side effects. Surprisingly, I didn't experience dry skin AT ALL!!! Throughout all the things I have tried (neutrogena deep cleanser, pink grapefruit acne wash, epiduo, x-out, retin-a, purpose, clearasil, 2 different l'oreal face washes, and SO much more things that I don't feel like typing) none have ever dried me out. I think this is because I have the most oily skin in the whole world!!! Like you could scrape the oil off my face and bake a cake with it. It literally looks like I got cooking spray and sprayed my face for 30 seconds straight. No joke. And one time this girl that I don't even talked to comes up to me and says "uh, are you sweaty?" and I said no so then she said "oh....well you're REALLY shiny...." Needless to say, I simply walked away and ignored her stupid little comment. But anyways I so far have experienced nothing but good things from this! When I first used it, I'm pretty sure it brought up the zits and whatnot that were forming under my skin to the surface. After those went away (they were gone by the time I was in bed that night) and felt like some sort of progress had been made. So about the products themselves. I love them all of course, but I should just let you know what they're all like. The cleanser is super runny and lathers extremely well. I really like it. But I have to admit, I don't wash my face for less than 10 seconds like you're supposed to, and I don't use my hands. I use the l'oreal scrublet that goes with their face washes (when I was trying those...p.s. l'oreal isn't that bad, to be honest. If you have mild acne, try their salicylic acid acne wash. I helped me some but didn't clear up my cystic acne). So the actually benzoyl peroxide medication is my very best friend cuz he's the one who kills that disgusting acne. It's a gel that's a little thicker than that of aloe Vera and has a whitish color. The moisturizer is pretty good as well. A little bit can get you far (for me at least). It is yellow and is not as thick as your everyday lotion. I also must let you know that I do exfoliate sometimes with st. Ives invigorating apricot scrub (it's as CVS just so ya know). I'm also not sure if you'll care but I use fructis' full and plush shampoo/conditioner because I have found that it doesn't cause acne on my back and forehead as other shampoos and conditioners have done. Goodness I have written a lot but that could be a good thing because it will show you how THANKFUL I AM FOR THIS!!!!! I SOMETIMES CRY BECAUSE I AM SO MUCH HAPPIER WITH MYSELF AND AM SOO MUCH MORE CONFIDENT!! I CAN MAKE EYE CONTACT AGAIN! I DONT HAVE TO FAKE A SMILE ANYMORE!!! THANKS DAN YOURE THE BEST!!!!

Give it time but it works
My son is almost 16 and had fairly bad acne, not horrible, but I know it bothered him. He kept his feelings about it to himself, as some boys tend to do, but I knew it was really bothering him. A friend of his told him about acne.org and I very reluctantly ordered it--we had tried so many different "regimens" that I had no faith one way or another--just spending another 50 bucks that I could hardly afford. He has followed the treatment to the letter and after about 5 weeks, I saw his skin tonight and it was like his 12 year old skin again. A few pimples here and there but not what it was before. The key is you have to follow the instructions religiously and be at peace with the 50 bucks a month it'll cost you. But the difference in how he feels is worth it...one less night out for me or new shoes is worth seeing him feel confident about himself again. Be sure to buy Jojo oil as the regime make the skin very, very dry. I left one star of because the instructions are really bad, basically a slip of paper with some rules to follow. [link removed] should understand that some careful words of encouragement can keep people with the program. Other than that, if you're a parent who is concerned about your child's acne, and if your child can stick with a routine, this product does what it claims to do.

Works fast and effectively
I've been using the regimen on and off for many years, and it definitely works. A first time user should find minor relief within just one day/night; as the skin will feel a bit drier (in a positive way) and a tiny reduction in acne overnight. Within a few weeks, it sticks and works more and more. The effect tapers off within 1-2 weeks after you stop using it. It's important to follow the instructions particularly for the benzoyl peroxide part, particularly the part about thoroughly rubbing it in after applying it. Otherwise, you're left with a wet and icky feeling on your face. It's also important to not skimp on the moisturizer, or your skin will get dry. To name a few downsides of the product: It smells a bit icky, feels a bit wet (rub it in thoroughly but gently to minimize this), and bleaches textiles. You really can't apply it in the morning and head out for school or work; it will smell and feel uncomfortable, particularly if you mix it up with the moisturizer, and your clothes will get bleached. I just apply it in the evening after my daily shower and it will be fully absorbed the morning after. I put on a white t-shirt (white textiles do not get miscolored by it) for the evening, before applying it. One more note: You can use other face wash and moisturizer products; the cheap and plentiful amounts of benzoyl peroxide treatment is what makes the regimen great. I would give benzoyl peroxide 4 stars because of the downsides of smell and bleaching, but that's not the fault of the regimen, so I give 5 stars all in all.

AMAZING & LIFE CHANGING
So, baaically all of my late teens/early 20s I was struggling with occasional pimples.. At one point it got so bad where I really needed to do something about it. I tried every single thing in the drugstores, then I finally turned to Proactiv. Proactiv did work for me but then suddenly just stopped. I finally came across Acne.org regimen. And let me just say.. This has been the best decision of my life. My skin is BEAUTIFULLY CLEAR. And people are really noticing. Not only did it clear up my skin completely and help breakouts.. But I literally don't get pimples anymore. People have been saying 'wow! Your skin is glowing' and how great my complexion is. It's a great feeling.. All because of this regimen. I suggest YOU TRY IT. There is nothing better!

Same happened to me during the first month dry skin with little improvement that looked terrible under makeup. UNTIL month 2!! I started the regimen May 10th with severe acne, an uncountable amount of pimples/cysts, even some with multiple heads :( now on July 7th, I have ONE pimple. ONE small pimple on my chin that is hardly noticeable! It truly is a miracle. I know it is really tough to get through that first month of dry skin, but if you ever come back to the regimen stick it out for one more month!!
