Swelling and rash
I have been using regimen for 3 days now and the area below my left eye is swollen and red. My whole face is covered with rash and very irritated. I am not sure if this is a normal response to BP or should I stop using it. Please help. Thank you

Hyperpigmentation
I used the system about 3 months last year and got very smooth skin but extereme discoloration. I got dark eye bags, darkened acne marks, every little indentation or elevation on my faces looked very different from the skin around it. I felt like a monster...but with smooth skin. I quit using the system. Weekly glycolic acid perls, noxema, and fade cream are working for me now. I wish I could upload a pic. I know the maker says it doesn't cause hyperpigmentation but for me it did

Swelling?
I started using the treatment on my face on the first day at night and when I woke up my eyes were swollen and irritated and very dry. The rest of my face is fine it's just my eyes are very puffy and red all around the area. Should I stop using the product or keep doing it?

Happened to me but i stuck it out. I've been on the regimen for 3 years now and it was an uphill in the beginning. I can't remember exactly but it definitely took me some time to get use to it before my eyes finally normalized. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure..
When I first started using these products my face was itchy and irritated. So I stopped using it. I just started back using it for 2 weeks now and my face is flaky but not irritated. My eye lids are also flaky but I never use the product in that area. Any suggestions?

Continue using if you want to see results. My skin got disgusting flaky everyday but I continued and I eventually got rid of all my pimples. Also I wouldn't use the moisturizer they provide I use a heavy duty night one like philosophy which has really made a difference.

FAILED REGIMEN!!!!! DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD
Hello! *UPDATE* Unfortunately I have to stop the treatment cause I'm definitely reacting to the benzoyl peroxide. The whole right side of my face is swollen and the acne on my forehead and cheeks get worse every single day!!! This is the 4th week and this is extremely disappointing, as I was looking forward to this regimen being my last resort. Also, I don't believe the cleanser does anything. When I wash my face morning and night, I use my finger just to scratch the side of my nose and the amount of dirt that comes out is horrible. I'm not allowed to wash my face hard just so I don't irritate it more, but gosh!! The dirt is annoying. I can actually see the dirt still sitting on my face when I'm done washing it. The cleanser doesn't do anything at all. Before I got on the regimen, my face was presentable. I could still manage to go out, but now this has only made me feel/look worse than I have been. Sometimes it's supposed to get worse before it gets better but damn!! I don't think the right side of my face should be swollen for days. Looks like I've been in a fight or have a whole bunch of candy in my mouth. I'll show pictures but I'm too embarrassed and Insecure to. Just to make things clear, I followed the instructions as stated. I watched what I ate, washed my hands constantly, changed pillows cases, covered my hair to sleep. Basically changed my lifestyle routine just so I see wonderful results and write success story but I look like a creature right now. I'm extremely sad and disappointed. I'm not trying to risk staying on this regimen before I end up in an emergency room. *FIRST REVIEW* I started on this regimen and I'm 2 weeks in. Ive followed the instructions to the T but sadly, I've been breaking out extremely bad. Consistent Pus filled pimples on my forehead and checks. My face is actually worse than it was before I started on this regimen. It hurts/itches really bad and I get depressed when I look at my face. I stay away from junk/oily food, I exercise, wash my hands every seconds, keep hands away from face, change pillow case and beddings every week and also use a different towel on my face. Is this my body just purging or am I reacting to this regimen. I honestly don't want to believe it's a reaction cause it has worked well for a lot of people and I'm hoping it would work for me too. Can someone/Dan please advice? I really don't want to give up

There is some itching associated with initial benzoyl peroxide use. If it's really bad like you said, you may have an allergy to benzoyl peroxide especially if it hurts.

Just keep following the regimen. It will get better in a month or two in. Im glad I did not give up, I am a year in and my face is completley clear.

thanks @Tchristina @sarawold. But I'm going to stop this regimen for my own health and sanity

Made my skin worse...
The first few weeks my skin started to clear up...over a month in and all of a sudden my skin freaked out! My face is extremely red and inflamed, while also being very sensitive and flaky. I really want to stop using this before it does too much damage. But, people say their acne comes back worse than ever. Any ideas on what to do?? I never even had bad acne in the first place, but wanted to get rid of the ones that were there for good. WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. Do NOT buy this!

Not for me - Moderate, hormonal, adult acne.
I have moderate, adult, hormonal acne. Unfortunately, the Acne.Org Regimen did not work for me. I used it for 6 weeks and noticed no improvement in my skin. I was very excited to try to this treatment after reading/seeing so many positive reviews and am very disappointed to conclude it isn't for me. I used it as directed, except with less moisturizer than advised because my skin was not drying like most people who use it. My skin was still oily and if I used as much moisturizer as directed, my face was shiny after a couple hours and I was dabbing with paper towels. I did experience the unpleasant burning and itching in the first 3 weeks but it eventually went away. I did not feel like the cleanser did much. After washing with the cleanser, my face felt no different, I didn't feel like it was removing oils, etc. The BP wasn't that bad because my face was used to 10% BP, except I only used 10% BP once a week before I started Acne.org. I also feel that for having no improvements in my skin, it's 100% NOT worth using BP so damaging to my already damaged skin. I did not like the moisturizer, I felt it was too oily for my skin. I will not be purchasing this treatment again or recommending it to anyone.

You said using it as directed, means starts only small amount and adding more until 2 full pumps gradually? Maybe for some people, determination required to make the skin clearing up completely. I hated the waiting moment from BP to moisturizer that took me 15 mins each time, twice a day. But yes, we have to do it religiously. Some people clearing up fast, some dont. Hope you dont give up with the situation :) Good luck!

Pretty Redundant
Worked first week, then caused breakouts which I thought was purging. But then onto month 2 and I woke up every morning with a new pimple somewhere. Scars and PIE got darker. skin wasn't red at all for me but got flaky with none of the benefits. Maybe just not for me :/
August 3, 2017
Please don't give up! If you use it constantly and as directed, hopefully it might lead to better result any time soon :)

LIFE CHANGER
This has legit changed my life. Best product in the entire world. Cleared my skin in weeks, and one year later continues to keep it clear. One of the best things to happen to me!

How is your skin now? Is it very dry? Do you have to use BP daily? or can you have for instance a week break?
