Acne.org : Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%)

It works. That summarizes how great this product is :) I've had irregular acne for 9 years now and I've tried everything - from cheap to expensive, chemical to organic! Nothing works like this. Follow the regimen. SERIOUSLY

I haven't used the actual products, but have used similar versions. So over here we have a product called Panoxyl which is basically a cream based benzoyl Peroxide. I have been combining this with simple face washes and nivea moisturiser. Just stuff I have in the cupboard basically. I have had acne for about 15 years now (considering I am only 23 this is pretty bad right!). It has never got worse than moderate, and is mild at worse right now, but its always been very persistantand I've never got rid of it. In the last 6 years or so I have had pretty bad acne on my neck chest and back, and have mainly tried pills to get rid of these, to no avail. A month back I just got sick of the constant having to try to cover it up and I kind of want to have nice shoulders and back that I can show off! So I thought sod it, what can i lose from following this regime and seeing if the benzoyl works bearing in mind I've used it before unsuccessfully). I have been astounded and delighted :)

Best product ever. Cleared my skin so well. At first i was about to quit on this product after 6 weeks of use. My skin was so dry, and i had scabs from previous dried up acne. I bought jojoba oil and i still was flaky so i bought some Eucerin everyday protection along with CeraVe Lotion and wow! No mo flakes. I get 1 pump of Eucerin a ity bit or CeraVe lotion and a few drops of jojoba oil, best mixture for a moisturizer ever. Should sell it on the market. But what made my skin perfect was hands down the AHA+. After three and 1/2 weeks my skin was perfect. So smooth and soft. I still have a little discoloration but AHA+ fading it nicely. It took 8 weeks for my skin to get really clear from the BP but its probably because i didnt stop wearing make up during the regimen. HTH

I've been following the acne.org regimen for two weeks, previously using the Neutrogena On-The-Spot cream. A few days ago I purchased Dan's product to test it out; a great decision, I must say. Neutrogena gets hard to rub around on your after some time, and gives your face a tinge of white whereas Dan's product rubs on clear and is easy to move around on your face. There is no undesirable fragrance, unlike Neutrogena, which I very much enjoy. Plus, I'm not exactly sure why, but I find I don't even need to moisturize after I apply this product. By the way, I'm having great success with the regimen, and I have tried many many different antibiotics, creams, gels, foams, etc etc. I also have moderate-to-severe acne. I highly recommend it!

This product does make a difference on your acne - but the numerous drawbacks may not be worth the limited results. It took about two months for my skin to be able to tolerate the two pumps of product reccommended in the regimen. Even after a year and a half of usage, I still need go through 16 oz of moisturizer a month to control the dryness and flaking. Warning: If you are going to try this product, be soo careful with this stuff. Pin all your hair back before every application, or the front of your hair will start to turn blonde. After application, throroughly wash your hands and dry completely with a white towel, and remember not to pull any clothes over your head. Switch to white sheets and pillowcases, or they will become bleached. Verdict: This is a good product, but I personally, do not find it worth the hassle.

During initial two weeks, my skin was very red, chapped, and dry. It was a little embarrassing, but I persevered. My skin did improve after a few weeks, but the regimen did little to prevent my hormonal acne. Prior to using BP, my skin healed relatively quickly (2 weeks after pimple, scar would be gone) and acne scars were not a major issue. However, after starting BP, my skin healed much much slower (now scars remain from a month ago). Application of the regimen was unpleasant as well; the BP and cetaphil moisturizer felt very heavy&dirty on my skin. I read an article and did some research online about whether long term use of BP is bad for the skin, and I discovered that it is. After that, i stopped using BP altogether. As some forum members also mentioned, my skin grew dependent on BP so after I stopped, my skin got progressively worse. Do NOT use this! Puts you in a kind of loose-loose situation :/

I've used this product for 2 years and haven't developed the slightest semblance of a tolerance to it. It continues to do the job I expect it to. Just plain, simple 2.5% BP; it lasts a long time and gets the job done. Oh, and no annoying scent.

I've been using this regimen for almost a week now & it's working fairly well. My acne has been looking a bit better. The BP dries out the skin a bit.. around my mouth but I use the AHA as a moisturizer so it never stays so dry. I think people with moderate acne should try this, you'll definitely see improvements like I have ( though sometimes it mostly depends on your skin )

I've recommended the "Treatment" to several family members who have acne problems. I swear by this stuff and never plan on changing my current skin regimen. I am looking forward to trying other products from Acne.org!!!

I like this product better than any other acne medications I've used including Proactive (which didn't work at all for me). I would like to know why I'm breaking out with whiteheads vs pimples.
