too harsh

Pros:

oderless, reduses spots, and it was quite cheap (in britian it was just over £5)

Cons:

in the first week makes skin dry but if you use moisturiser it will go back to normal

this treatment works for me and it has reduced the size of my spots and cleared up my skin and if you don't mind having a bit of dry skin a for a few days this is a product for you

It doesn't ball up on me.
It's clear.
It works.
And I get a great amount compared to on the spot.
Dries quickly.
Stays on, through workouts.

Slight red skin (for me anyway)

It's worth it, and a money saver.

Pros:

?? Have not experienced any, and have now switched to a different system to see if things change

Cons:

See below

This didnt seem too bad the first few days, but nothing got any better either. The things I experienced were 1) extreme dryness of skin 2) VERY tedious to apply, takes a long time to soak in, and makes it almost impossible for a moisturizer to soak in on top 3) moisturizer (almost any moisturizer) would burn when applied over the BP 4) no clearing of skin, didnt really make it any worse either other than the drying, flaking, peeling, and redness 5) because of the drying, it was also impossible to wear any makeup without looking like an alligator 6)even after 3 months, nothing changed. I was religious - gentle 10 second wash, pat dry, 2 pumps treatment, moisturize twice a day. 7) upon quitting and switching to a less harsh treatment, at the very least my skin is no longer flaky, dry, and irritated. My acne is still not gone, but better than it was on Acne.org regimen. If you are interested, I have switched to Carley's clear and smooth, which seems to be working ok, but not completely clearing me yet. At lease it doesnt take long and isnt hurting my skin more.

It works! :)
Downside first: It dries out your skin, so moisturize and avoid eye area! Upside: It has almost completely stopped my breakouts. I've been using this for 6 months, but saw results within the first few weeks. I truly wish I would have given this a chance earlier. I've had moderate acne for around 10 years, and it would have saved my skin from a lot of scarring. Advice: When moisturizing after this treatment (even after you let it dry), don't moisturize the under-eye area with the lotion you've just been spreading around your face. Some of the BP mixes with that lotion, and you don't want that getting anywhere near the delicate skin around you eyes. If you want to hydrate the eye area, wash you hands first and then apply your moisturizer to that area.

that explains why the skin around my eyes has become more thin, thank you.

Pros:

YES IT WORKS

Cons:

you need a good moisturizer, it'll flake your skin

no other product has worked as well as this one(honestly) and later on, you dont even have to use it twice everyday

Pros:

I like the fact that it's a gel instead of a cream. And most importantly - it works!

Cons:

very drying

After having acne for 20 years, and trying every product and every diet on the market, I finally found something that works. I love the whole Acne.org system.

Pros:

Very effective over time
Invisible after rubbing in
Reasonable cost

Cons:

Skin peeling

This stuff is amazing. For the last ten years (since my early teens) I've tried tons of medications, from generic to prescription, and the only thing that beats the Acne.org treatment in my book is Accutane. And since the former is cheaper, easier to obtain, and doesn't cause joint pain / suicidal depression / incurable colon disorders, I know which one I'd recommend. Acnefree and Proactiv started out promising, but within a month the acne came back with a vengeance, and neither medication seemed to put a dent in it afterward. In contrast, the Acne.org treatment seemed ineffective at first, but as the months went by my pimples got smaller and less frequent, until they nearly disappeared. There are still a few stubborn holdouts, but their small size makes them easily manageable, and they too seem to be fading. Even though a decade of near continuous mild/moderate acne has left my face a little scarred, it hasn't looked this clear since elementary school. I use a little less than the dosage that Daniel Kern recommends in his videos, and it seems to work just as well as larger amounts do. Even so, it dries out my skin badly; at first I thought I could get away with skipping moisturizer, but it didn't take me long to reconsider. Four or five months in, I tried dropping the medication entirely, to see how long it'd take for the pimples to come back. As it turns out, two days. Well played, Dan. Here's a glowing review, on top of the wads of cash you're going to end up taking from me.

Pros:

Clears up acne.

Cons:

Drying
Bleaches

I've had acne since my teens and it was getting old. Nothing was working for me. I even tried a hardcore regimen of prescription acne medications, with only moderate success. Since I switched to Dan's Regimen, I've had clear(er) skin for the first time in over ten years. When I first started using this, my acne actually worsened in certain areas; not only were there larger, more visible pimples, they HURT. Badly. But I stuck with it, and after about a month, I started to see drastic improvement. Six weeks in, aside from old scars, I only have about one or two visible pimples at a time--such an improvement. Plus, the gel dries clear and residue-free, unlike cream-based BP treatments. The negatives to this treatment are that it causes a burning, tight, dry feeling and that it bleaches everything it contacts. My night shirts all have big blotchy white stains from rubbing against my chin during the night. However, I use white towels and pillowcases to prevent excess linen destruction and consider a few bleached nightshirts a worthy sacrifice for my smooth, clear skin!
