The best product I've ever purchased!!
This product has changed my life completely. Every night I would look In ge mirror cry. I went to the Dermatologist COUNTLESS times and nothing worked AT ALL. Going to get a facial would somewhat work for about 2-5 days . Almost given up ,my last option was to go on Acutane (retin A infamously known for bad side effects) I did NOT want to go on the drug neither did my mom want me to... THEN a friend recommended what she said had cleared her acne in less than 3 months. At first It sounded fishy, how would a cream clear up my face so well? (I had previously used several types of cream treatments the dermamtogist had haven me and none had worked) But I was desperate and tried it. Here I am at month 3 and all I can say is .LIFE.CHANGING . My confidence has gone up SOOOO much, I feel like actually wanting to take pictures and go out to places. If you are feeling like I was 3 months ago..PLEASE get on the regime! I hope it can change your life as much as it's changed mine! I've been there... I 100% know how you feel. My only regret is that I didn't buy this product sooner!

Pleased
I have had acne ever since the age of 12. I am now 18 going on 19 & it is pretty severe on my cheeks & chin. I started using the regimen in September & its now November. I have seen drastic changes in the active acne I used to have before using the product. I used to have bumps, cysts, and whiteheads all across my cheeks and chin area, but now they just look like inflamed, red scars for the most part. I definelty have far less active acne, but I'll still get a whitehead or a cyst around my chin area every couple of days, which probably has to do with hormones and diet (even though I'm vegan & eat pretty healthy). I'm going to experiment with eliminating things from my diet and stay on the regimen a little longer, then im going to work on getting rid of the hyperpigmented scars.

Amazing Product

I had moderate cystic acne since late middle school despite adopting an extremely healthy diet and drinking a lot of water. I started using this about 3 years ago because I was sick of prescribed treatments which would only work for a short period of time. Right away it decreased the inflammation and redness on my face. However, it does take a while to see the full effect- about month and a week to be specific (for me). The slow process didn't bother me because I did see a steady improvement over the 5 weeks. My skin has remained completely clear except the occasional blemish around my time of menstruation. I do not use the full amount that it says to because my skin remains clear and less dry with half the amount. My skin is no longer oily and it can get dry sometimes, but overall my skin has gotten use to the drying nature of the product and is not flaky anymore. I would like to note that I do not use the rest of the regimen; instead I use Dr. Bronner's almond & hemp soap to wash my face and Alaffia powerful neem facial moisturizer (day) and Earth Mama baby non-scents lotion (night) to moisturize after the acne.org treatment. This is nothing against the cleanser and moisturizer of the acne.org regimen- I've never tried them, but my way is more natural. I do use the AHA and jojoba and I love them.

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

Works great, but is not an all-in-all cure
This definitely got the job done in terms of clearing up most of my acne, but because my acne was hormonal, this was not the cure for me. I definitely recommend this product, but for those suffering from more severe acne, this will only help partially, since it may not be addressing the root of the issue. I highly suggest using this regimen WITH an elimination diet to see what foods may be creating hormone imbalances or inflammation, therefore causing the acne.

I agree. It has worked wonders on my skin without a doubt, but when it comes to hormones it has met its match. While it has no real control over those kind of break outs, I will say that it does make them go away quicker. So regardless of it not being able to prevent these or not, it still is a great product for eliminating the majority of acne and lessens the duration of the rest.

Life changing & affordable
This has changed my skin completely. I started using the regime 2 weeks ago and my milia around my eyes and my acne has completely gone away. I use the entire acne line and it's increduble! And the price point is amazing!

Acne.org for the win
I had used Proactiv for years to help with my mild acne. It cleared my face up for a while but then my acne had returned. A couple of times I had tried to stop using proactiv and my face would FREAK OUT and I would get the worst breakouts of my life. I was truly worried my skin was so dependent of the product that I'd never be able to stop using it. I finally switched to acne.org and it has changed my life. Within the first week I already saw awesome results. I have now been using it for about 5 months and I couldn't be happier!!! My skin has never been so clear and I MIGHT get 1 pimple a month. I am extremely satisfied with this product. I'm not a huge fan of the moisturizer so I use cera ve lotion instead. It works perfectly to moisturize my skin especially since the benzoyl peroxide dries out my skin pretty bad. I highly recommend this product!!!

Could anyone help?
Well, actually I have mild acnee : whiteheads and blackheads on my forhead and chin and some cystic acnee pimples on my cheeks. When I started using the BP 5% (about the 2nd week) my acnee started to fade away, I was really happy But then after couple of weeks I started purging and new acnee appears on my skin especially on my jawline (thus I hadn't such issue before BP) I ve been using BP for 2 months now and I still didn't notice any positive changes although Im moisturizing well What do you advise me ?

Hi! To me it sounds like you might need to make al lifestyle change. Sometimes when topical treatments just aren't quite enough, the answer to completely clear skin is a healthier body inside ( that way the treatment and your lifestyle can work together to prevent acne). I would recommend eating more fruits and vegetables as well as eating less dairy, meat, and foods high in sugar ( these things cause inflammation). Having a normal sleep schedule and doing light exercise can also be helpful. On the note of sleeping- change your sheets very often, as well as the towel you use to dry your face (I use a separate towel for my face and hair/body). Always was your face after you wash your hair to prevent shampoo+ conditioner residue from clogging your pores- also be careful of hair products that might get on your face. As far as makeup goes, always use a natural foundation (this can be challenging to find). I use the physicians formula powder and liquid foundations. Obviously wash your makeup brushes often and be mindful of the soap that you use to wash them with. Other things you could use on your face: Dr. Bronner's castile soap for cleansing and hemp oil to moisturize (hemp oil is amazing at reducing inflammation and will not clog pores!). If nothing else helps, I would get blood work done and make sure that you are not deficient in any vitamins and everything is within range. For example, when Leucine or zinc are low, the skin can act up ( definitely ask for these things to be tested as well as hormone levels). Always supplement under the direction of a physician though. Good luck!

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
