Pros:

Clears Acne
Doesn't smell
Reduces pore size
Helps fade acne scars

Cons:

Shipping price
Slow shipping (takes 4/5 days to get to my house)

I would recommend this product to everyone! This regimen works! Iv'e had moderate acne since I was 12 years old. I am now 22 and my face is clear! This is the only thing that works for me. I'm so happy I tired it. I used to waste tons of money on Proactiv Solution every month. Proactiv did not work for me. I finally looked online for something that "actually" worked and this is it! If you have moderate acne like me, do yourself a favor and purchase this! Read the instructions VERY carefully and follow them exactly and your face will clear up. Don't get discouraged when your face is as dry, cracking and peeling for a week or two, that is normal. Your face will get used to it and it will be soft, smooth and acne free. I bought my first kit in April 2012 and was 100% acne free by June 2012. My advice is to stick with it and if you run out of the Cleanser, run to Walmart and buy Cetaphil for sensitive skin and use that in the mean time. It is so similar, but I feel like Cetaphil doesn't take off makeup as well as the Acne.org cleanser. Anyway hope you take my advice! Good luck :)

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.

THE GAME CHANGER
I owe this regimen everything!!!!!!! I've had severely bad acne since middle school. Black heads, white heads, cystic acne, little bumpy dotted textured skin.. everything. I've tried products such as Murad, skinID, Proactive, LUSH products targeted towards acne and oily skin, Shiseido, First Aid Beauty... I can't even keep track. I've done pimple extraction facials, which helped a bit for a few weeks, only for the acne to continue it's horrid cycle. Then one day I saw a YouTube video about Acne.org! It was a girl I knew who had acne and was raving about it being a total lifesaver. I did my research and decided to order it January 2016. Since it's been awhile since my skin has been the best it's been ever been, my story isn't too lengthy. I followed the regimen.. every instruction and all. It did flare up a little and certain products were kind of harsh on my skin. But I was to ride it out and let it work its magic. And that's exactly what happened! A month or two later my skin was looking brand new. The texture had evened out, 70% of my acne was gone, my skin looked so much more even in color since some of it was red from acne or dark from old acne scars, it was a miracle! I've only reordered the benzoyl peroxide once and have added the glycolic acid to my new regimen, which is also on the level of holy grail status. These products are also super affordable, which made this experience even more possible for me since I was a broke college student. If you're hesitant about trying it, just do it!! I used to be SUPER self conscious about my acne and now people are asking me if I'm wearing foundation when I'm bare-faced. I usually don't do reviews but I felt like I owed this regimen some sort of recognition and a thank you! My constant battle with acne has been defeated! Hopefully yours can be too! Good luck to all! :)

acne regimen
The Acne regimen is an absolute miracle. I only been on the regiment for a little over a month now, and my skin looks better than it ever has. My confidence has been restored and i don't feel ashamed about my skin anymore. I didn't have severe acne but i did have hyper pigmentation and it is slowly fading away . I feel as if I don't have to cover my face up with makeup anymore, and that truly makes me happy. Finding this acne regimen is such a blessing to me and I am so thankful because i'm able to feel pretty again.

Thumbs all the way up
I've tried every product under the sun including two rounds of Accutane, acne always came back. This regimen is the BEST REGIMEN I've ever came across. You follow the exact directions, and week after week you WILL notice a difference. I'm really happy with this regimen. I feel normal. I don't have to put a pound of make up to hide my skin, let alone feeling like hiding from the world. I'm so glad I gave this a chance. It's been a year and a half and this is a part of my DAILY routine. Just a heads up - GET WHITE PILLOW CASES! It will bleach any colored sheets & pillow cases.. but clear skin is SO worth it. Remember there is NO cure for acne - not even Accutane - the key to clearer skin is consistency, patience, and FAITH that it will get better. I hope that all of my fellow acne suffers get clear because I know how it can take over your life. You will feel so free when it goes away!

Amazing product
I have been on this site for years and I've always seen the acne.org regimen advertised, but always thought it was just a sales ploy to get people that come here to buy a product that doesn't work, boy was I wrong! My acne has slowly been coming back after a third round on accutane and I thought I would give this a shot to finally control this lifelong problem. Especially since while accutane has worked for me, my acne has always come back. I've used this regimen for about a month and I'm completely clear! I don't have one pimple. I seriously can't believe it. The only complaint I have is that it makes my skin very dry, especially when I try to use make-up but I've been experimenting with putting more jojoba oil into the moisturizer and its helping a lot! Also, I can't recommend enough how important it is to start SLOWLY. I'm sensitive to benzoyl peroxide, but I started very slowly and the moisturizer balances out the benzoyl peroxide. This is a time consuming regimen but I don't even care. My skin means everything to me and I'm so happy. My skin looks like it did while on accutane and I hope it stays this way. :)

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.

The ULTIMATE Acne Cure

Pros:

It WORKS
It's EASY
NO adverse side effects

Let me preface this review by first stating that I seldom (if ever) write reviews for any of the products that I use on a daily basis (or write in all caps, for that matter); on the rare occasions that I DO comment on product it is in light of the product's extraordinary virtue or unbearable flaw. In this case, it's the former. This review is lengthy, but supremely worth it! Do read. Daniel Kern's "The Regimen" is a marvel. It is the single most effective acne treatment system in existence at the moment. It bears the fewest adverse side-effects, comes equipped with a knowledgeable and supportive community, is genuine in its approach, and flat out works. I should know, I've tried every acne treatment system in existence. I've consumed every antibiotic known to man at near megadoses, I've used every cream, lotion, and astringent on the market with zero success, and I've ben subject to 5 rounds light treatment with costs totalling $2500 ($500 a shot). None of that stuff worked, like, AT ALL!. The only treatment I was fortunate to avoid is isotretoin (more on that later). In fact, to give justice to the product, I think I'll extoll the virtues of the "The Regimen" piece by piece. (1) The Cleanser: The best cleanser period. It's odourlessness makes it the best smelling cleanser out there, it foams (AWESOME!), it's gentle, and it's substantial. In fact, my whole family now uses it because it's so darned good; it blows the cetaphil stuff right out of the water, and that's saying a lot. (2) The Treatment: It's 2.5% benzoyl peroxide done right! I consider myself a BP connoisseur (I went all the way up to 12% at one point, yikes!), and the Acne.org BP is the finest stuff you'll ever find. First of all, the format of the container (I use the 16 oz.) creates the essential "The Regimen" psychological framework: just when you think you've used too much, USE MORE! The amount of BP I used initially would overwhelm most, but it was essential in my process. Furthermore, the fact that the Acne.org BP is an a gel based medium (as opposed to a cream) is incredible; it means that it doesn't have to be applied with the speed and agility of a jewel thief, because it won't immediately dry on the face, it goes on with a soothing sensation and, most importantly, WILL NOT turn white when exposed to moisture (i.e. perspiration). Alas, I can indulge in a mid-day tennis match without excusing myself to wash my face before hand. (3) The Moisturizer: I dare you to find another moisturizer out there with licorice root extract, and no that $10/oz. designer stuff you find online or at the department store DOES NOT COUNT. This stuff is rich without being greasy, and readily penetrates the skin without dissipating too quickly. I mean, this stuff is pretty sweet! A few drop of Jojoba, which in my opinion is not essential to the regimen and that I've only recently introduced to my routine, takes it to a whole new level. In conclusion, "The Regimen" cures acne. In a few months it did what years (!!!!!!) of antibiotics and 10% BP creams could not do: it eliminated my cystic acne. The very first picture I took of myself the day I started "The Regimen" still induces fear, anxiety, and a sense of shock at the individual I once was; acne truly did dominate my life at one point. Remember, earlier in this post I mentioned how I avoided the wrath of isotretoin? Well, it's true. Now, I know isotretoin is a treatment that works for many people, but, after having read the horror stories, I was resolved to never touch the stuff. After a 5th dermatologist telling me that isotretoin was my last resort, I turned to the interweb and found Acne.org. I'm glad I did. "The Regimen" was my last stop before isotretoin. But it worked! "The Regimen" worked for me because it is just that, regimented. It employs the best products, ensures that you apply them correctly, is free of serious adverse side-effects, and comes with a supportive and informative community, free o' charge. It has given my the gift of glowing skin and the confidence to behave in a fashion consistent with my own personality and life goals. Thank you Acne. org! -doctor neutrino Male, 20

A miracle!

Pros:

Fast clearing
No smell
Works!

Cons:

Dryness
Itchyness
Flakyness

I suffered with serious breakouts on my forehead for about a year. It was absolutely embarrassing! I felt so unconfident in my appearance. I didn't even want to go to school! I tried every drugstore product out there and nothing worked for me. One day when I was on YouTube, I came across a video that changed my life! This girl was raving about these products and I was curious about them so I checked out the website. I ended up ordering it which I was hesitant about at first but i'm so glad I did! The Regimen cleared my skin in less than a week!! Yes, there was some dryness here and there but other than that, it was amazing! I am so happy with this product and will continue to repurchase it again and again! Thank you Dan! You are a lifesaver.
