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

This is the best product I have come across so far and I have been using it for years. It helps with about 80% of my acne. I am sure it would be more if I could do it 2x/day, but it dries my skin out way too much. I tried it for months thinking my skin would get use to it, but it never did. But with 1x/day I am happy with the results - Not perfect, but much better than if I went without. I have noticed that some batches I order are better than others, but for the amount of product I received for the price, I can't complain. I use this in combination with Dan's moisturizer too. I wish there was a product that worked equally as well and didn't stain my cloths though :-( I use it on my chest and back as well and any time you sweat, you can kiss your cloths goodbye.

Not sure why it's taken my this long to review the "treatment" but over the past year it really has done wonders for my skin! My roommates started using it last year, and I started using it in the fall as a last-ditch effort (I had had chronic acne since elementary school and I was 21 when I first bought it and I had tried an endless supply of products before), and it worked really well. Like I stated previously, it took some getting used to but after about a month there was a noticeable improvement in my skin. It's the only one of these products I use (I use Cetaphil as moisturizer) but it still works well. I still get (rather small) whiteheads now and then but they usually go away pretty quickly and are a lot less painful than what I previously dealt with. Thanks, Dan!

I love this product! I have always had, and I mean ALWAYS, melia (little white, raised "pimples") on the sides of my nose. I would scrub and scub to try to get rid of them, but it would always come back right away. I haven't had any melia since I started using this product! It's so liberating. (My dad has it too so I guess it's genetic.) The product also cleared up my skin overall. I don't get breakouts. I have nice, clear, clean-looking skin. I highly recommend it.

I used this product for a good 3 months , first few weeks of using this product my face was red and swollen.I did not stop knowing that BP usually causes those side effects in the beginning of using it.In about a month my face slightly cleared up,and so continued on using this product hoping to get a fully cleared up skin but...it got worst.My face would turn red again but even more than the previous times and I looked like a freaking tomato it was really embarrassing.I never really saw major improvements in fact I noticed more breakouts.Horrible expirience with this product

I had the WORST acne of my life after using tretinoin for about a month. I couldn't take it anymore, so I decided to try out Dan's Regimen again. I had tried the Regimen before, but I didn't adhere to it... I also never bought any of the products from the website. So I figured I'd give the Regimen a shot again after my horrible experience with Tretinoin ( I bought the 3 things from the website). Well, it's been about 1.5 weeks, and I am so happy! Although my skin is dry and flaky, it's SO MUCH BETTER than having a million pimples all over my face. Seriously, I'll go for dry skin over acne any day. I 100% recommend you to try the regimen with 2.5% BP. Don't be like me when I first tried it out - didn't stick to the rules like Dan says. FOLLOW THE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could see a difference after only a couple days. My pimples were getting smaller. I still did have new pimples come out, but they weren't that bad. My skin seems to be wrinkly around my mouth. It was never like that before. I assume it's because of the BP. I'm going to see what I can do about that without irritating my skin.

within 3 days i got my result.it reduces my acne severity and dried out my acnes. 1-2 new acne breakout. bt im satisfied cause i had more acne.im using it for 6 days.but the worst point is its darkening my skin and makes dry.but im happy ,cause i want to get rid of my acne. did not work over acne spot.as i used clindamycin phosphate for 5days it dint work much,though BP worked only within 3 days. :):):)

u have to keep on using it

Love it!

Maybe if you only had very light acne it would work - and continue to work.

please try this, I have suffered from acne for years, and now, 20yrs old, have finally found something that works, I have tried all of the acne brands out now, and this is the only thing that has worked. I use bp with cetaphil daily facial wash for normal to oily skin. and I mosturize with palmers virgin olive oil lotion. Bp works, just be patient!
