Pros:

Really starting to see results now after about 3 months of regular use. Smooths out complexion, evens out skin tone and unblocks pores

Cons:

Iritates at first, takes time, but be patient!

I am pregnant at the moment and there is nothing I can take for this acne. The AHA and the jojoba oil have really helped me a lot and have balanced the oil production in my skin. Cannot use the benzyl peroxide while pregnant but the AHA has helped immensly. I am looking forward to having this baby and using spiro again in combination with these great products, I am certain my skin will then be clearer than ever!

Be patient, be consistent, and be gentle with your skin

I just finished my 3rd week on the regimen and I couldn't be happier with the results. I had never experienced severe acne, I had more of a moderate acne which would get a little worse around that time of the month and my skin used to be super red all the time, especially around my cheeks and chin. The first week and onto the 2nd week on the regimen I got a little breakout (as it is stated on the acne.org website) and i had read about that prior to starting the regimen so I did not freak out. But that cleared up very quickly. My face got super super super dry and flaky at the end of 1st week and all 2nd week. I went on youtube and search for videos and found that some people who use the regimen use some sort of face oil to exfoliate. (keep in mind, I haven't started using the AHA glycolic acid yet because the instructions says to start that only after being on the regimen for a month) So since I use jojoba oil with the moisturizer to help with dryness, I did what people suggested on youtube and went ahead and exfoliated my face using just jojoba oil and my finger tips (gently doing circular motions all over my face) It worked! This happened the 3rd week. My skin is naturally oily but im loving the extra moister because of how dry I got from the benzoyl peroxide(the treatment). I haven't been able to wear any makeup, I did try putting on makeup and it just looked terrible due to the peeling and dryness. But I do not care at this point, my skin is acne free, the only thing I gotta work on from now on is fading the scarring from old acne. SO FAR SO GOOD. Thank you Acne.org for boosting up my confidence and self-esteem. I hope that in a couple of weeks I can wear some makeup though, I miss getting all dolled up :) <3 

The reason I gave it 4 stars is because I haven't been on the regimen for that long and I believe my skin will get even clearer and smoother as time goes.

Regimen reciew

Two days after beginning the regimen, I was receiving compliments that my skin was significantly clearer. It?s been about a year and three months since I?ve started, and my skin is at its best in a while, but I feel like my face has grown accustomed to the treatment and won?t improve from where it is now. The regimen still did amazing work though!

Good products but non suitable packaging

My box arrived crushed, the products had opened and poured into the box. So I had less product and it was disappointing. The containers should be more suitable, especially for international transport. Otherwise I used this kit for 1 month and I was surprised at its effectiveness I would recommend it!

Good but help
So I recently bought this acne treatment and I'm currently going through the first week. My acne is already definately improving, it is less irritated and a LOT less visible. My only problem is the rest of my face (cheeks, chin) where I don't have much acne but still enough to be using the BP on. At the moment I'm only using the BP once a day and then only a pea size amount like it says in the instructions. But my face is really red, irritated, itchy, very dry, my eyes are puffy, and when I apply the BP or moisturizer my skin burns so much.I know it says in the instructions that during the first week my skin will be "red, irritated, and itches while it adjusts to the treatment", but it also says that some people can be allergic to BP. How should I know whether to keep using the treatment? I know a lot of people went through the same thing, so I don't really want to give it up, but what can I start doing so that my irritation goes away?

I can't say for sure whether or not you're allergic but the first few weeks are really tough. I was surprised by how burnt, red and crispy my skin was. I'd say stick with it, just make sure you're keeping all of the products very far away from your eyes. Good luck!

Be very gentle while you wash your face and while you apply the BP and avoid the eyes area completely otherwise I would say give it time and try to use once a day mostly at night.I hope it works for you.

just feels good
My moderate acne hasn't cleared up much in the 10 weeks I've been steady on the regimen, but my skin feels healthier and happier. Dryness is a downside, and I tan easier I guess with the moisturizer on just my face and jawline (tanline). Will continue to use and adding in the glycolic acid soon.

honest
i came acros this . just to try it, it worked wonderfully. at first my skin got red and irritated. but that was because i wasnt using the proper amount. then i got used to it. but when my skin seemed to start clearing up would run out. and i would break out again. so i have so many scars. well not many, but now i buy the big kit. and so far im getting there again.

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!
