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

this BP just doesn't suit my skin. i won't say this is a bad product as people have different sensitivity. after applying this, my acne got worsen. from the small bump became bigger bump and it reddened the acnes. i gave it up.

I bought this about 2 months ago and was only using it sparadically until my acne got worse. I only get acne on the lower half of my face, with my chin being the main concern. I break out in cystic acne,although mild, can still leave some hyperpigmentation and scars. I have been using this once a day, every night before bed. I ONLY apply it to my chin and only use little more then a pea sized amount . I was previously using it twice a day as suggested, however, it was drying my skin out something terrible. My skin is still dry and flaky ,even while using this once a day. I also use the moisturizer (which I love) and a couple of drops of jojaba oil after the BP has been absorbed. I have also been spot treating a couple of dark marks that have been lingering for a while with the glycolic acid. The acne on my chin is mostly hormonal but I'm sick of the dark marks and scarring it is leaving on my skin. So far I have been using the benzoyl peroxide faithfully for about 3 weeks (the glycolic every few days, as I found it would leave almost an orange tint to my skin where I applied it .. which does disappear after a few days thank God) Overall, I have definetly noticed a reduction in the amount of cysts on my chin. Although the flaking is unpleasant , I feel like there has been a reduction in the hyperpigmentation as well as you can literally "peel off" your dark marks (gross I know) I also think time has played a part in the reduction of dark marks but the BP has definetly helped. If your reading this and unsure about buying , just give it a shot. I will update in a month or so, but as of right now I am happy with this product. To Respond to a comment I saw below mine... I had zero issues with the shipping time. I ordered from Canada and did not pay extra for quicker shipping. I got mine in six days which is nothing I'm going to complain about.

Im just commenting on the shipping time I havent tried the product yet. I ordered on 4/17 and didnt receive until 04/25. To come from California to Illinois the shipping could be better. I will be testing the regimen for 2 months. Will come back and update. 5/10/17 Ive been using the treatment now for about 20 days. So far I have seen a reduction in whiteheads, not much for clogged pores but I still have hope. I use the treatment day and night and always be sure to use spf in the morning. Im still on the hunt for a good mineral spf that doesnt leave a white cast since I am darker skinned. I do break out close to my under eyes however I try hard to not it close to my eye area because it can leave the skin raw, red and burning (been there done that). I will be adding the aha+ as a nightly moisturizer once I hit 30 days on the regimen to hopefully help with my hyper pigmentation issue.I do experience some dryness no flaking skin. Im hoping this regimen clears my skin and keeps it clear, I spend so much money on product. I will update again at 2 and a half months. 5/22/17 I'm not longer using this product since being prescribed Benzoyl peroxide and clyndimicyn gel from my derm. The combination of the two works alot better for me vs just BP alone. Since using ive seen a reduction in clogged pores and white heads. I've also seen my skin is alot less oily. My skin While on the acne.org BP I never had an issue with prolonged excessive dry skin. My skin dried out for about a week before it went back to normal. If you can get a prescription from a derm for treatment this does work just slowly. I also only have to use my BP/CLYND gel once a day so way more convenient and since I have insurance its alot cheaper than acne.org as well.

Works well like other 2.5 benzoyl peroxide. What makes this product special is that it glides on the skin easily making the application a breeze. Secondly, it absorbs well and does not feel greasy. Lastly, it works well with using a moisturizer after it. This product did not have a purging effect on my skin. My acne just got better. but I would not say that it is what cured my acne. I would attribute I would say 30%.

I've had moderate to severe cystic acne all my life from puberty (I'm 21 now). I've been on the regimen for 3 months now and I do see an improvement but I'm not breakout free yet. Pimples that I do get seem to be going away faster and stubborn cysts are definitely shrinking. The downside is that this regimen takes a really long time to work and the dryness is excessive - I've even had to quit wearing skin makeup (not even a tinted moisturiser). I do intend to continue using this for about a year. If I'm not clear by then, I'll quit and head back to the dermatologist.

Conclusion: Follow Dan's advice- If skin discolouration (brown/orange 'tanning') occurs during use, stop immediately. BP Pro's: It was pretty good at stopping new spots appearing. BP Con's: 1. Every spot that did appear when using BP would scar and so the number of apparent spots on my face would not be any less than before using BP, even though far less new spots were appearing. (When i say scar, I mean hyperpigmentation marks, each of which take 6-9 months to disappear for me) 2. 'Tanning' (Skin discolouration): Dan does say that one side effect of BP is skin discolouration and that BP should be stopped if this occurs. I started to 'tan' after a week or two of using the product - skin was becoming more orange/brown, but not in a nice tan way - my skin was an unhealthy shade and there were noticeable rings around my eyes and lines on my neck (where I wasn't using BP). A lot of users on acne . org say this is a common and temporary side effect which may go away, so I persevered. It did not go away, and I stopped BP. However, it is now 4-5 months since stopping BP (and all other acne . org products) and the 'tan' is still as apparent as it was 1 week after stopping - there has been no fading in the last 4 months so it seems it may be permanent. The resultant 'tan lines' are almost as much of a problem as the acne itself, and whilst acne will disappear with age, I am now worried that the 'tan' wont. Other relevant details: - I built up (over a period of 1 month or so) to applying BP twice daily. I would use dan's moisuriser and cleanser as directed too. I also added in AHA after another month or so and used this every couple of days. I followed all of the acne . org instructions. I did not have any other side effects from BP (other than dry skin, which became less of a problem upon using AHA). After the 'tanning' became quite apparent, I reduced the BP to once daily, not twice, and did not observe any change. I thought the 'tan' may have been due to the yellow pigment in the moisturiser but this was not the case (I trialled switching moisturisers and this did not change anything). I also thought that the 'tan' may have been due to the UV sensitivity that occurs upon using AHA, however it was winter at the time (in UK) and there was essentially zero sun. - I have white skin which tans averagely - I am not particularly sensitive to the sun.

I'm a 36 year old male who has struggled with acne and have long used this product. It does work, but the quality has gone down a bit. Feels a bit diluted. Personally I've gotten tired of smearing this all over my face every day. It will dry your skin and bleach everything including pillow cases and sheets. I'm going to try switching to a wash.

I always thought I was allergic to benzoyl peroxide until I found the acne.org products and regimen. This benzoyl peroxide strength works great-- you don't need a higher percentage. The key is to moisturize sufficiently after using it. I have extremely oily skin, but I use a moisturizer (Cerave pm facial moisturizing lotion, oddly enough) mixed with a drop of acne.org jojoba oil after the bp lotion in the morning, and the same moisturizer mixed with acne.org AHA lotion after bp lotion before bed. I've been doing this for 8 months and my skin is clear with great texture and no flakiness for the first time in DECADES: all thanks to the regimen developed by acne.org.

I've been using this for 8 weeks now. I had a lot of cystic acne break out the first 4 weeks of use but now I will only get a few pimples here and there. I am going to continue and hoping my skin completely clears up. I have tried everything and this is my last hope. My scars have become more noticeable and my face is red most of the time. Could anyone let me know if this redness will go away ? And what is the best scar treatment to use while on the regimen?

I have just recently started using this product. I heard many great things so I decided to give it a go. I have been using the regimen for about a little over a week now, and I have started to acquire a lot of dry skin. It has gotten to the point where it is all over my face and looks crusty and awful. I read some reviews on the treatment and realized some others have been experiencing this also. Does anyone know how long the dry skin on my face will last? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
