Stick with it and it will really work
I tried doxocycline, minocycline, and a bunch of other over the counter products which did absolutely nothing. My acne was at its worst and i was desperate to find the quickest solution to fixing my face. I then tried the Regimen by Acne.org and I can't be much happier! The week by week guide they gave me(its also on the website) was accurate and by 2 months I had zero pimples left on my face. The only thing I have now 3 almost 4 months into it is the red acne scars on my face which really arnt that bad and are gradeually fading away. This system works way better then Proactiv or any of that over the counter stuff, I thought that because Proactiv didnt work for me that the regimen wouldnt work for me either as it seems to be the same ingredients. Proactiv is garbage and I have no idea what they are putting in that stuff but it certainly isnt what is in the Regimen. If you want a clear face as bad as I did then put 100% effort into making sure you are staying fully commited to the Regimen and I promise you you will get the results you want. P.S. my favorite product is the AHA. I put it on after the Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment and it seems to make my scars disappear faster although it does make your face slightly more red the day after but I dont mind that.

Amazing Product - Please give it a try!

Pros:

Begins working immediately
No side effects
See full results in 3-4 months

Cons:

NONE

I have tried every acne product available (creams, antibiotics, birth control pills) and this product is the only one that has worked for me and without side effects. I am 20 years old and my acne started at age 17. I had it on my face, back, chest, and shoulders and The Regimen has completely cleared all areas. I have oily skin so the products have not dried my skin. It started working immediately and after two months it kicked into high gear and after three months I was completely clear. My skin is soft and smooth and it got rid of all the big stuff and the little stuff that the derm told me was very hard to clear (even on the sides of my face). I use Duac every morning on my face and the full treatment on my back, chest and shoulders. At night I use the full treatment on all areas. This product has no side effects and it has literally given me my life back. I attend college and this is the best I have felt since sophomore year in high school. I can again wear clothes that expose my back, chest and shoulders. I am on my fifth month and it is also fading my acne scars. I am actually looking forward to beach time next summer. Please try this product! Once you establish a routine it doesn't take much time at all. As a matter of fact I sleep in fifteen minutes longer than I did six months ago because I don't need to apply as much make up and cover up. My derm is very impressed with the results!

it works

Pros:

it works

Cons:

drying at first

I started using the regimen one year ago. Within 6 weeks my face was completely clear. After a few months I bought the AHA+, which allowed me to only perform the regimen once a day. This worked for a few months but then my skin was not perfectly clear so I had to go back to twice a day. Recently, I ran out of the products for about a month and my skin is not looking good right now. After a week of being back on the regimen, my face is looking better and I know it will bd back to perfect soon!

Seeing results within 4 days
I had very light acne as a teenager. I started to use proactive which dried my skin out terribly, made my face red & made my acne worse! I now have moderate acne because of it. But Im on the regimen for 4 days now & im seeing crazy results. I never thought this would work so fast. Now I have less acne. The redness on my face is also gone, the dark spots are fading slowly. This is the only product that helped me. I tried steroids, Birth control, more meds, even went to a dermatologist to take out all my pimples(it made it worse btw) I spent so much money trying to find the product that actually works. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WORKS. I definitely recommend this product. Thank you so so so much for this product!

AMAZING & LIFE CHANGING
So, baaically all of my late teens/early 20s I was struggling with occasional pimples.. At one point it got so bad where I really needed to do something about it. I tried every single thing in the drugstores, then I finally turned to Proactiv. Proactiv did work for me but then suddenly just stopped. I finally came across Acne.org regimen. And let me just say.. This has been the best decision of my life. My skin is BEAUTIFULLY CLEAR. And people are really noticing. Not only did it clear up my skin completely and help breakouts.. But I literally don't get pimples anymore. People have been saying 'wow! Your skin is glowing' and how great my complexion is. It's a great feeling.. All because of this regimen. I suggest YOU TRY IT. There is nothing better!

Will my skin worsen if I stop using it?

This. Works. 2 weeks in.
Since about 5 years ago I have had oily and acne prone skin. The last 1-2 years it has taken a turn for the worse and at times my chin was totally covered in white horrible cysts and what not. This have certainly affected me negatively. I get VERY self-conscious when I'm talking to someone and I know I have acne all over my face. The most days I'd like to stay home so that I won't get in contact with any other human. I've tried cleaning and moisturizing morning and evening to no avail, perhaps this was due to not being gentle enough, whatever it didn't work at all. The last couple of months I've been trying the caveman regimen, e.g do not wash or in any manner treat your face. I believe that for people that aren't acne prone, this may just work due to the irritation caused by overusing products. For my part, this just made my face look really awful. The acne didn't disappear and my face took on a grainy and bumpy texture. I kept waiting for the caveman regimen to start working, It never did. The hyperpigmentation from old acne lingered and made my face look all red even if I at the time didn't have any active acne. Stumbled upon this site and thought "What the hell, It doesn't matter if things get worse now". And the first couple of days it might have. My skin got very flaky, red and itched like hell. Had a couple of acne popping up in my chin area, as per usual. I'm now 2 weeks into the routine and the benzoyl peroxide isn't the pain in the ass it used to be. Okay now to the pros. All active acne has subsided and my hyperpigmentation is fading slowly. The one thing that stands out the most perhaps is the texture of my face. It is completely smooth. I can't remember a time when my face was this smooth to the touch. This regimen is just amazing in so many ways. Haven't been using Dan's products but similiar products that can be found in the country I live. I would recommend this to everyone who has acne problem. Thanks Dan, your great!

A BIG thank you
I have tried medication (both western and chinese) and different methods to cure my acne. some of them worked for a while and then stopped working, and some made my problem even worse. The side-effects for western medicine was extremely significant as it caused severe diarrhoea. Regimen was a bit of a pain to start with, but I am very glad that I started it. It was the best decision I could have ever made.

Only thing that cleared my skin

Pros:

Cleared my skin
affordable

I started the regimen almost two years ago when I was in eighth grade. At that point I had struggled with acne for about four years. My acne was my biggest insecurity and caused me to be very depressed. After reading all the reviews online I decided to give it a shot. At first, all it did was make my skin dry and flakey. Using jojoba oil really helped with that although it does make your face shiny. I still got acne. However after about three or four monthes my acne was basically gone and has been ever since. I still break out during that time of month but comapared to the severe acne I don't mind. This changed my skin and made me so much more confident. I also really like that this is unscented. I briefly tried proactive and the scent was awful.

Switched from Proactiv and never going back

Pros:

Ease of use
Gentle
Products last a long time

Cons:

Time (on a tight schedule)

I'm currently 20, average athletic female college student. I'm from a moderately humid and very hot place, and I go to school in one of the most variable climates in the US - the plains. It's either bitter cold or blistering heat, but you can always count on almost no humidity and lots of wind. I started using Proactiv a couple years ago when my skin really changed and I started having some pretty noticeable acne issues. I've always had pretty normal combination skin - slightly sensitive but pretty balanced. But it started getting more and more oily over time, and acne became prevalent, as did my embarrassment. At first, Proactiv was a dream. I couldn't imagine ever using anything else. But over time, my skin became accustomed to how harsh the treatment is, and it started getting even MORE oily. I couldn't even make it until lunch time without feeling like I needed to wash my face again. And just months before, I was having to use extra lotion because the most sensitive parts of my face were dry, flaky, even cracking some. But my acne was still gone... Until a few months later. Eventually, the oiliness got bad enough that my acne was coming back. I knew it was time for something else. I'd heard about acne.org, and I'd done a lot of research about using the oil cleansing method - I figured anything was worth a shot. Especially because, at this point, it was obviously the texture and intensity of Proactiv that was doing this to my skin. I still was very hesitant to try oil cleansing though, so I went with this. It was obvious after extensive research that Dan knows what he's talking about - he understands we need to be gentle with our skin. Within two weeks, my skin was worlds better. I do find though, as I'm sure others have, that if I forget/fall asleep/get lazy and don't wash my face at night every now and then, it's definitely a problem. My acne is always there waiting to come back with a vengeance, but it always gets back under control. I use the cleanser while I'm in the shower in the morning - two pumps. I try to follow the directions Dan has provided where time is concerned. Make sure your skin is actually dry before the treatment, and that it's completely soaked in before you moisturize. It REALLY does make a difference. I don't really use a large amount of either the treatment or moisturizer - I find I don't need it. Just enough that I'm not having to really rub my face, but not so much as to have excess. For me, a pea size to dime size amount does the trick. I use the jojoba oil on an as-needed basis, and I mix half AHA and half moisturizer at night instead of using 100% moisturizer. I'm so so glad I switched. I'm saving money, and I know this is worlds better for my skin. Not to mention, the environmentally conscious manner in which these products are produced is a definite bonus. Keep it up Dan, thank you! Also - quick note on cost. Not only is this regimen cheaper than most, I find that the products last much longer than anticipated. I bought my first kit about 4 months ago, and the only thing I've had to buy more of is the cleanser.
