This product saved my life and face. 2 summers ago I was using the Proactiv 3 step product and that cleared my skin for the most part but then I thought "since my face isn't breaking out anymore I shouldn't need to clean my face." Well I thought wrong... After about 5 months of not cleaning my face properly it bit me in the face. I started breaking out a little here and there but then summer time came around and I had moderate-severe acne. It was the worst my face has ever gotten. Mainly across my forehead and side temples. I have very oily skin and it's very tough for it to absorb chemicals. I tried everything from natural home remedies to walmarts neutrogena face wash and even back to proactiv. Nothing was working for me and I felt like giving up. But then I did some research and found myself on this site reading through pages upon pages of reviews. At that point I didn't care about the money I just wanted my face to be somewhat clear again. I ordered this product back in the beginning of October and by the end of the month my cystic acne was gone and now I'm left with scars from picking. I just ordered more cleansing product and the AHA product in hopes that it'll help with the scars I have left. As of now I've only been having 2-3 pimples here and there but it's probably from so much stress. All in all, I absolutely love how fast and great this product works for me. It's saved my life and I hope it saves yours.

Good
I've tried Proactive, which is similar to The Regimen, and I got very similar results. It works pretty well, no doubt, but I'd rather have something that I can use long-term and the ingredients, I feel, are not safe for prolong use. When stopping use, my acne got worse, but I feel that it's a chore to rely on ingredients such as Benzoyl Peroxide on a daily basis to rid of acne. A natural remedy would be more beneficial, in my opinion. The Regimen, same as Proactive, also made my face red, which never subsided after continual use. Neither Proactive nor the Regimen rid of my acne - only reduced it by some. I followed the Regimen, as closely as possible, but the results weren't as others had experienced.

The best!
I have been using this product for about 2weeks now and the result is incredible. I'm not gonna lie I did had my miserable moment at first when I started using it. The first week of using my breakout got worse and my skin got really dry and flakey. I wouldn't even want to go outside for people to see my face. I was miserable I got stress out. But after fees day of continued use I saw that my acne was going away and I got less dry and flakey skin. I'm still at the less dry and flakey stage of the regime right now but I think it's worth it. I'm just so happy my pimples or acne is going away after trying numerous products like x-out, proactive and many other drugs store products. This has so far been my best decision ever. I so recommend this product for anyone. All you have to do is stay true to yourself and go through the first month even if you think the product is not working trust me when I said the first week was a killer for me. Some days the flakey ness was so bad that I used a toothbrush to brush it off and it actually did help on my part. for some it might take about two months to see results and I'll tell it's worth the try. I gave this a four yet because my skin is still some dry and flakey but I know it will go away. Thanks and I hope this help someone.

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.

Maybe too early for a review ,but I'll risk it.
I switched from using exposed skincare to using the acne.org regimen, about a week ago. So far I feel like it's working great and I actually haven't even experienced dry skin just too bad! I am taking it really easy on the benzoyl peroxide but am using it twice a day as my skin was used to having strong product on it. I LOVE how it feels on your skin though!It's just so light! So I'm gonna say so far,so good!!

Amazing
I ordered the trial kit and have used it for about two weeks so far. It's really amazing! The first few days I only applied the bp treatment on the really bad areas of my face. It was very drying and my skin was flaky, could not even apply makeup. But after those first days, it was bearable and I started to apply the bp all over my face. After about 6 days on the treatment, my skin was starting to heal itself: pimples were smaller and reaching the surface quicker to disappear quicker. My pores seem more refined and my skin has an overall healthy glow. I'm now bumping up the bp to twice a day and have ordered the 8oz kit. Nothing else has ever worked this way for me. Can't wait to see further results! Definitely give this product a try if you've had stubborn acne for years!

Amazing Product

Pros:

Clears cystic acne
Leaves Skin Soft

Cons:

Moisturizer makes skin feel greasy

I have suffered from acne since I was 13 (I am now 23). I had tried everything. Every kind of topical cream pills, I even did accutane. While the accutane cleared my skin from cystic acne very quickly, it also gave me depression, stomach problems, and after my treatment was done, the acne came back. I was ready to give up when I stumbled upon this site. I was skeptical at first, like I was with all other treatments, especially knowing that accutane had failed. I didn't have much faith that this would work but boy was I wrong!! I bought the treatment, moisturizer, AHA+ and jojoba oil. (I WAS DESPERATE) My skin immediately cleared. I went from having at least 5 cystic zits on my jaw line, to ALMOST NEVER breaking out. My skin looks amazing, I could not be happier. I am concerned that my skin will grow accustomed to the treatment and that the acne will eventually come back, but I have been using the treatment for four months now and my skin still feels amazing. The only thing I will say in a not so positive light is that I still feel my face to be very greasy. Especially if I use the moisturizer (which I stopped using for about two months, but have started again only at night). I found that if I put on moisturizer in the morning, my face was shinny and super greasy throughout the day.

3 Steps

I used to use Proactiv Solution for six years and it worked for about 3 years and after that it didn't work for me anymore. Then I switched to Skin Id which cleared my skin in less than a week and I loved it! Unfortunately Skin Id got discontinued. Then I was skeptical about the acne.org regimen but was so desperate to find something that worked for me and decided to give it a try. The first month my skin dried and flaked like crazy! I wanted to hide in my room and not go to work nor school. Always hid under make up during those rough days. After a month I noticed a difference in my skin and that gave me hope. I've been using this regimen now for about six months and I would totally recommend it to anyone who has been having acne problem skin. I still get a break out here and there but nothing compared to a face that looked as if someone had smacked me in the face.

BE PATIENT!

Please read this if you are giving up on the regimen!!! This product has honestly changed my life, After battling with cystic acne for 6 years and visiting the doctors around 10+ times regarding my skin issues, I believed this was going to be with me forever. A nine month round of antibiotics cleared my acne extremely well until I finished and the pimples returned, albeit not quite as terrible as before. I had tried Dan?s regimen earlier in 2018 but gave up after experiencing a horrid breakout during exams (caused mainly by stress I think). In February 2019 my acne started to come back, and I turned again to the regimen for a second attempt. The first 3 months were awful. My skin was red, flaking and irritated. I developed eczema on my neck and jawline and I couldn?t smile without it cracking and peeling off. Considering I was at uni and wanted to go out with friends and have fun it was the worst timing ever. After seeing absolutely ZERO improvement after month 3 was over I emailed the acne.org support team as a final attempt to restore hope and motivation to continue the regime. They replied telling me if I kept going I would experience clear skin, so I stuck at it. I kid you not, by the end of month 4 my skin was 85% clear. When I did have a pimple, it was no longer cystic, just a slightly inflamed clogged pore. Now in month 6/7, I have never been so happy with my skin. The irritation is gone and I am 90% clear or active acne. It would be dishonest if I said I never get acne...I probably get one tiny pimple a week and 3-4 medium sized pimples a month but overall this regimen has worked literal miracles on my face. My advice is to not give up even if you?re months in!! I was so disheartened when I saw people?s great results after a matter of weeks. All our skin is different and some just take longer than others. Trust the process!!

Honestly try it, if it works, you're in very good hands. It worked for me and I changed the moisturizer because it wasn't for me but moisturizers are unique for many different skin types/people so I heard;therefore don't knock it till you try it. The Cleanser (step 1) and Treatment (step 2) is what works. Like from human to human not a scam and they are known as top treatments from other sources. Um also it gets worse before it gets better I'm 1 month and two weeks in. Hopefully it works for you all. Good luck.
