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.

Great intro to a great product line
I wanted to give the acne.org line a try because there were so many positive reviews on YouTube. I have been a lurker of this product line for years! When I saw the $5 offer for this travel size kit, I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did - I have never seen such quick results with a product line, and I've tried everything from ProActiv to Murad. I went 3 days without a breakout! That has never happened and I just turned 33 yesterday; I have been dealing with acne since I was 16 years old. I got one pimple on my forehead yesterday, but it is dying a quick death. I am using Retin-A gel 3 nights a week so that one pimple purge may be the result of that or it could be the hair oil I put in my hair. The rest of my face looks beautiful!! I'm super excited and it has only been 5 days. I can't wait to see what my skin looks like in the next few weeks :)

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.

As long as you stick with the regimen and follow the directions - it will work!
I typically don't write reviews but, I feel so compelled to do so because the regimen is soooo effective! My acne began after I gave birth to my son and worsened as I used make up to cover it up. My advice would be to follow the directions on acne.org and stick to it! I would also recommend using very little benzo peroxide when first starting because I used too much and my face was extremely dry, itchy, and flaking. NOT FUN. I started the regimen in april and I wanted to give up after a month or so because new pimples erupted on my face! But this is NORMAL. Thank God I stuck through it because now (june) my face is clear! I used all drug store products. I lovvvve the results and I urge you to try it AND STICK TO IT! ☺☺☺

Stick with it and it will really work
I tried doxocycline, minocycline, and a bunch of other over the counter products which did absolutely nothing. My acne was at its worst and i was desperate to find the quickest solution to fixing my face. I then tried the Regimen by Acne.org and I can't be much happier! The week by week guide they gave me(its also on the website) was accurate and by 2 months I had zero pimples left on my face. The only thing I have now 3 almost 4 months into it is the red acne scars on my face which really arnt that bad and are gradeually fading away. This system works way better then Proactiv or any of that over the counter stuff, I thought that because Proactiv didnt work for me that the regimen wouldnt work for me either as it seems to be the same ingredients. Proactiv is garbage and I have no idea what they are putting in that stuff but it certainly isnt what is in the Regimen. If you want a clear face as bad as I did then put 100% effort into making sure you are staying fully commited to the Regimen and I promise you you will get the results you want. P.S. my favorite product is the AHA. I put it on after the Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment and it seems to make my scars disappear faster although it does make your face slightly more red the day after but I dont mind that.

Adult Acne
Getting use to this product takes time, but it was worth the wait. I have been using this product since Fall 2012 and have little to no skin issues now. As maintenance, I only need to use it once a day and can even skip a day here or there. However, if I completely stop then it starts to come back. I used Accutane many years ago and due to never ending stress I started to break out again, but thanks to the Regimen I have been able to control it and it cost less than the $65 a month I was spending on a prescription from my Dermatologists.

Holy Grail of acne remedies!

Pros:

Clears skin/great price
lightens hyperpigmentation/ evens out skin tone
leaves skin soft and smooth/ do not need any other products

Cons:

I didn't hear about it earlier!
Can be a little drying in the begining (goes away)

So I had never had acne until I reached my thirties, and it seemed everything I tried made my skin worse, I tried these product after watching a few of the videos. I can't express how wonderful these products are, not only did they clear up my severe acne but my hyperpigmentation is almost completely gone. I made some rookie mistakes in the beginning trying to add some of my old products in which cause new breakouts. When I only used acne.org products I got back on track and have completely clear skin. I have been using it for about 5 months and my skin has a glow that it hasn't had in years. I couldn't be happier with it.

Don't stop using it or you'll get breakouts!

Pros:

Clears acne quickly!
Good Price, good amount

Cons:

Must keep using
Makes skin flaky!!

I am a teen with acne-prone skin. My skin is very oily but since this product it has been oily but flaky? When I first began to use this product it worked tremendously within the first week. I had little acne bumps all over my forehead and active pimples around my mouth, chin and cheeks, pretty much everywhere. Your skin does go through a very harsh stripping of its oils to really just dry out your acne so my skin became very flaky. It took about 3 months for my skin to completely clear and I was left with loads of hyper pigmentation/acne scars. I did not see this as much of a problem since this could be covered with makeup. Before I continue I would like to say that the moisturizer is too light and did not moisturize well, it was also very oily! :( The cleanser has no acne treatment in it and is VERY comparable to Philosophy's Purity cleanser. It removes makeup very well! Now months and months passed I would never break out but I would still have this flakiness that would make my liquid foundation not very appealing :( It would be flaky and just not "perfect". At first i thought it was fine, at least my acne was gone! I thought that if I stopped using the Benzoyl Peroxide(BP) it would stop being flaky. I also thought that it would be okay to stop using it since my skin is clear. I was wrong. I replaced the BP with the Neutragena Stress Control Toner and it really did the trick! No acne, no flakes and makeup was applying perfectly! Little did I know that one week after not using the BP my little forehead acne bumps came back! and now I have about 4 pimples randomly throughout my face. I quickly stopped using the toner and went back to the BP and it began making my skin flaky again. I started using the BP again a week ago and no improvement yet... In fact, I have gotten 2 new pimples on my cheeks. Hopefully stopping the use of the BP did not ruin my "relationship" with The Regimen forever... Wish me luck in the next few weeks!

Absolute Miacle !!

Pros:

Does what it says
Clears completely
Leaves the skin glowing

Cons:

Dryness and Flakiness( for few weeks until you get used to)

I am so glad after seeing a big difference in my skin. I never had severe acne before but recently 6 months ago due to stress , my face had few pimples here and there and it then grew more. I have tried different home made remedies as well as I tried using Clearasil products but the product involved scrubbing and that made my skin even worse. One day I met a friend who had acne problem in the past and when I met her and her skin was perfect and glowing. I asked her how and then I came to know about this miracle . I immediately ordered the products, though it took a while for my kit to come. Second kit I ordered was here in 3 days. Very Impressive . Initially I started with the Cleanser , Treatment and moisturizer and my skin went from oily to dry and the moment I started increasing the dosage of BP my skin was experiencing extreme flakiness. But after about 5 weeks I was used to BP and my skin started reducing on itchiness. As Dan says more itchiness more acne, less itchiness less acne. Gradually I introduced after 6 weeks The Regimen Kit Plus which has AHA+ and Jojoba Oil. My skin cleared drastically. Its been 2 months and 2 weeks now and I still have few weeks to go to get my skin clear completely. I am going to stick to this products as they are perfect for the skin. But I totally recommend this product to everyone. Follow the step as instructed and it will work wonders.

One month of usage, happy!

Pros:

prevents new pimples
less oily skin

Cons:

Moisturizer smells, cannot be used with your significant other
Itchy face & neck

I started using it on December 16th, in am (in pm, I was using DIfferin) for a week or two, and afterwards only Regimen (no Differin). It made difference already after the first week! However, I did not follow the dosages of BP and instead listened o my skin - I have tried using more BP but then as soon as I did, my face hurt so much that it was painful to talk! Keep in mind, my acne is mild and only on my chin and forehead, the rest of my face is normal skin. Currently, I only apply it on spots and I have no pimples on my forehead, and 2 pimples on my chin (used to be 10!). After 2 weeks of using, my face and for some reason neck (though I did not apply any BP on neck) became extreeemly itchy so I had to tell myself to stop scratching it. Now it seems like my skin calmed down since I am not trying to increase BP dosage.
