Pros:

effective, consistent, informative, lasting results

Cons:

adjusting to peroxide was not fun, lots of flakiness, but follow the regime and it will be worth it!

I have had cystic acne on my face since my freshman year of college. The severity fluctuates with my monthly cycles. Unable to go on BC, I sought help from a dermatologist. She placed me on oral antibiotics. The antibiotics helped for a couple years, but diminished in effectiveness over time. About a year ago, I stopped taking the meds in preparation of starting a family. My acne started to get out of control. It stopped being predictable and took over my face. The cysts were concentrated on my chin. There was a time when I could count 10 cysts on my chin alone. It hurt to eat, smile etc. And the overall effect on my self image goes without saying. I tried everything. EVERYTHING. I spent money on every over the counter acne treatment. I tried natural stuff to the stuff that makes you feel like your face is going to melt off. Nothing worked. I have been on this site before. One night, (after a pity party and crying spell) I decided to try Dan's tips. I followed his guide to treating acne by buying the recommended products at the drug store. I started to see results. After a couple weeks, I decided to order the products from the man himself. I followed the regime to the letter. I even printed out the directions and taped it to my mirror. I wanted to give it every opportunity to work. The first couple weeks were difficult. I have sensitive skin and I flaked pretty badly. If I tried to wear make up for long periods of time I wanted to scratch my face off. I persevered, and thank God I did! Four months after starting the regime my face is completely clear. That is right. COMPLETELY clear. Most of my acne cleared up the first month or so with my cysts on my chin taking the longest to leave. Now all I am left with are scars, which hopefully will fade with time. I do get an occasional cyst, but it clears up quickly. I did not want to review prematurely. The results are real and they are lasting. I will be following this r

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.

Pros:

cleared my acne
improved my complexion
gave me my confidence back

Cons:

must be consistent to see results

I don't even know what to say but thanks for changing my life, Dan. I had very bad acne before starting the regimen. I tried Differin, Retin-A and all they did was leave my skin dry, red, and flaky with no results. I tried using over the counter systems but none completely cleared my acne and after a month stopped working. I even got so desperate I thought it was a good idea to use 10% benzoyl peroxide and a big scrub brush on my face twice a day. My face was swollen and red it was so painful. I found reviews on the regimen and just had to try it. This system has completely cleared my acne and has given me my confidence back. If you are reading this and have acne please please please give it a try.

Pros:

i have been using these products for a little over a week, my skin is starting to clear up, my pore is getting smaller, my skin tone feels so much smoother. The cleanser is amazing, i never had a cleanser who actually remover all my make up away.

Cons:

The treatment makes my skin a little dry, i only use it once a day (at night time), i use two pump of the moisturizer and i add a few drop of jojoba oil to help with the dryness.

The bottom line these product work for me, and it's so important to follow the direction and be very gentle with your skin, use very light on the treatment first time start the products. Thank you Dan :)

Pros:

Clears up acne almost immediately

Cons:

Is irritating to people with sensitive skin
Flakiness is a major issue
Time consuming

This product is a miracle. I've used everything to get rid of my acne for what seems like centuries. I finally stumbled across this product and I LOVE IT!!!!!. I wish I would have started off with the jojoba oil and AHA kit though....After a few weeks my face was sooo dry and severly flaky. I couldn't even attempt to wear makeup it was so bad. In the end it was definitely worth the pain and flakiness to have beautiful glowing skin!!!! :)

Pros:

Cleared my skin

Cons:

EXTREME dryness/flakiness during the WHOLE process, even using lots of moisturizer with extra jojoba added.
Is only a temporary fix, unless you plan on using it literally forever

I would definitely recommend trying this system if you've tried everything else. I've been on Accutane, several medications, and am currently trying to clear my acne naturally. I want to say that this system works wonders, but I was tired of keeping up with it, and in the long run it actually really hurt my skin because it became resistant/sore from it. Don't even think about trying this system and then stopping it when your face clears up - your acne will come back much much worse because of your skin relying on the BP... I might have to try it again with a natural face wash and natural moisturizer if nothing else works. 3 out of 5 because it does work, but skin starts to rely on it. The moisturizer can also be irritating for people with sensitive skin, it caused mine to turn beat red for a few hours after every use. Doesn't find the source of the acne just fixes it temporarily, just like all other medications.

I LOVE IT!!!

The first to two weeks, you will experience some dryness and that's normal. For the passed 5-6 years I have tried all kind of products you name it, I even went to the Doctor for a laser acne treatment that cost me around $3,000 and it didn't even help a little bit. 



Love, love, love this products.
