Pros:

- cleared up my skin
- not too expensive
- doesn't have a harsh scent
- lasts for a long time

Cons:

-time consuming

I have spent soooo much money on sooo many products and NOTHING has worked as well as this regimen, and on a really short time. I am so impressed that I want to tell everyone about it so we all can be acne-free like me =D I added the aha+ to the regimen a month after I started on it. My day routine= cleanser, treatment and aha+. My night routine= cleanser, treatment and moisturizer =D I love it! not too expensive, really worth the price. I just have light marks left, the aha+ is slowly taking care of it.

Pros:

- Cleared up acne very well.

Cons:

- Drying! Flakes! And I have oily skin!
- Hate the moisturizer.

It's a toss up- do I prefer dry skin to breakouts? Well, I am off it right now, have been for a month, and I am breaking out like nobody's business. Going to the dermatologist to make sure the breakout isn't an allergy-related rash (Not due to the regimen at all- it's just that I have very sensitive skin.) if it's just good old-fashioned acne- back to the regimen I go!

Pros:

cleared up my acne! I only use the cleanser and the treatment. Based on previous reviews I did not purchase the moisturizer, I use the Olay moisturizer (at any drugstore, don't get the one w/ SPF). Cleared up my acne within a few weeks. AMAZING! I've tried everything else, this is the only one that has worked this well for me so far.

Cons:

dried out my skin and irritated it a little at first. I didn't use the 2-3 full pumps like Dan recommends, I find that just 1.5 pumps of the cleanser is fine.

if you've tried all else and failed, TRY THIS PRODUCT! truly amazing and much less expensive that going to a dermatologist.

Pros:

seemed to be clearing up my acne for the first week or so

Cons:

skin dry and flaky and scary, unable to apply makeup
MASSIVE breakout after stopped
made red marks linger FOREVER

do yourself a favor and don't put this harsh chemical on your face. please just don't. I only had mild acne before using this product (mostly whiteheads and blackheads, barely any inflamed pimples, and very little red marks), after starting to use this product my skin became super dry and after a week, some underlying pimples came out. I understood that as pimples formed before I started this product, so I carried on. but my face was getting worse and worse over time, i got more inflamed pimples than I EVER did in my life, and the red marks linger FOREVER. I used to be SUPER NOT red-marks-prone, like even with a pretty bad pimple, my red marks will go away in less than a week. Now it's been 2 weeks since i stopped using the product, and the red marks I got during that period are still evident! I'm very upset with this product. I used to be able to wear not that much makeup, and I could wake up in the morning and see my roommates without makeup since my face wasn't that bad. Now I have to time myself and rush to the bathroom and layer tons of tons of makeup on my face before anyone wakes up...I'm so so so upset and can only pray to God to make my face better :(

Pros:

-Good for mild acne
-Simple Regimen to follow
-Skin does not become resistant to BP over years of usage compared to other antibiotics

Cons:

-NOT good for more severe cases of acne
-VERY time consuming
-Discolors pillows
-Can leave face oily
-Redness and dryness will surely occur
-Expensive

This regimen and the philosophy of using only a low dose of Benzoyl Peroxide for all acne cases is silly. The low dose of BP is great for people with mild acne, but does not cover the wide range of acne cases that may exist. I have suffered with acne for years. I have been prescribed everything under the sun including adapalene, Retin- A, Duac, and most others. For me Duac(5%BP 1%clindmycin) worked best for the years that I took it. After three years of carefree and perfect skin Duac's results became mediocre and my dermatologist said the BP was still working but my skin had become resistant to the clindamycin. (my skin is under control now, but I'm using a complex mix of antibiotics and retinoids) If you aren't allergic to clindamycin and have not taken it before, Duac is a much better choice and covers a much wider range of acne cases than the regimen. It has prescription strength antibiotics, which you can only get from a doctor, and it is much less time consuming to use than the regimen (5 minutes a day as oppose to 25 X2). In conclusion, the regimen is perfectly okay for mild to very mild acne sufferers, but anything more complex a dermatologist should be consulted.

Pros:

-Honestly, nothing.

Cons:

- Made my skin extremely sensitive to even the slighest touch.
- Made my cystic pimples WORSE.
- My dermatologist said using Benzoyl Peroxide twice a day is VERY BAD for your skin.

I guess it wasn't right for me.

Cons:

flakiness, dry skin, burnt skin

it seemed to clear my skin on week 4-5; however, right now i am on my week 8 and my skin looks as bad as it has never looked before. It looks burnt. I have red patches on my skin. It is itchy and it burns when i put moisturizer. I have decreased the amount of benzoyl peroxide to one pump...but im not just nor sure anymore. I feel like im burning my skin. It became rough on the touch. What should I do? Stick to it or leave it? Anyone?
