Pros:

It works!

Cons:

Dries out skin.

It's cheap, effective and available over the counter. Use it long term and you can start to manage the dry skin. It's not a cure - it's just a treatment. I have recommended to many.

Pros:

- Get rid of acne
- Does not bleach your skin
- Can absorb quickly depending on the amount

Cons:

- Takes discipline to follow the regimen
- Itch my eyes
- Flaky skin at the beginning and dryness.
- Not a total clear skin, still get a pimple once a week here and there.

This is what I tried over the course of my acne past. I had acne for 13 years, and this is the first topical treatment that works for me. - Accutane for one year - Birth control pill which gave me perfect skin - Chinese tea - Pro active - Murad - Epiduo - Being a vegetarian for a month - Some antibiotics given by dermatologists - I tried 5 different dermatologists - Dermalogica - Zenmed - Dr. Hauschka products, organic line - Doing nothing about it The bottom line, is that I have been searching all over for the perfect product to get rid of acne and I still think that Acne.org, really changed my life because I am able to feel good about my skin now. I owe so much to Daniel, and feel so grateful and appreciative that he is able to impact the lives of so many other peeps with acne issues. Strongly recommended to give it a try.

Pros:

Cleared up my skin

Cons:

Took a long time
stings a little
you have to keep using it

I have had moderate acne since i was 12 (I'm 18) and I've tried almost every over the counter product, plus been perscribed Differin and another product which I forget the name of. Nothing worked long term. I bought this product and used it in combination with Cetaphil face wash and oil free moisturizer from my derm. I followed the regimen exactly and it works AMAZINGLY. The first week or two I noticed a small difference but I figured why not keep going, so I did, and after 6 weeks my skin was clear. When I came home from school my family commented on how clear and beautiful my skin looked. This product is seriously the bomb. You DO have gorgeous skin under your acne and this stuff will make it show. I just went backpacking for a month and couldn't wash my face, so I broke out a little, which shows you have to keep using this stuff. Get the big bottle.

Pros:

Goes on smooth, absorbs well, doesn't sting, works, is light unlike some other products

Cons:

Bleaches fabric, stings my eyes a little from the smell,

I think that this treatment works really well. It's the best treatment I've found. I use the regimen cleanser, treatment, moisturizer, and AHA. At first a lot of my blackheads weren't clearing up so I tried a gentle toner without alcohol in it and that did the trick. My face is clearer than it ever had been. My acne was so bad as a teenager that I have so many scars it looks like my face is broken out when it's not. I was on accutane and that made my face a lot better but I was still always broke out a little all the time. I tried proactive when it first came out and it peeled my skin, then I tried it again at 23 and it worked fairly well. Then I wanted something that I didn't have to pay a lot for so I tried this and I love it. I only use it at night and my face stays clear and if I get a pimple it clears up in about a day. I recommend if the regimen isn't working at first try a gentle toner. Boots brand at target has some really good ones and they aren't too expensive. It made all the difference for me!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

effective, helps maintain a clear complexion, you get a lot

Cons:

makes face dry and a little red the first couple weeks, pricey

I am really happy with the effectiveness of this product. I was using doxycycline hyclate and differin together for about a year, but I hated always being sunburnt and having a red face so I decided to change my routine. I chose to buy this product because of the good reviews and the amount you get. I slowly reduced my dosage of doxycycline hyclate and differin. Now i'm completely off of that stuff and i'm taking this product along with 100mg of zinc. My redness and sunburn has gone away and now I can spend more time in the sun. :) get it!

Pros:

Llght
quick drying
odourless
easy to buy online

Cons:

First couple of weeks redness and dryskin, but thats expected until skin adapts.

The discipline of reminding yourself and applying the treatment.

In some cases you have to be patient with it, it will get worse before it gets better just have to persevere

Right, I have used this product for well over a year now and i remember before starting the treatment i read loads of reviews to get a better idea of the product. Some were very helpful so I guess its only right i do a review also. Just by following the regimen i have managed to clear up 95% of my acne which became severe one stressful year (Stay happy peeps thats the best cheapest cure really) My routine after several months of following the regimen. And allowing the skin to clear is to only apply it at night before bed. My skin still stays clear minus the odd small head which goes away after applying the cream. That way my skin won't get accustomed to the treatment and so far its been working. If i notice more spots i will revert back to the full regimen. Just wish old scars and old redness would heal up quicker...might have to try the aha as i have been reading good things about it here.

Pros:

lightweight
dries quickly
no smell
very smooth
gets rid of acne

Cons:

bleaches stuff.
can be painful at first

when this product is used on is own,it does the job well. combined with dans whole system plus the aha formula got me clear and keeps me clear. Like everyone else who reviews this, i can say that nothing else has worked including every home remedy to prescriptions to proactive to all other acne washes. Bottom line: try this product if you are at your wits end. And get the system

Pros:

Cleared most of pimples, acne

Cons:

May sting
Does not get rid of blackhead
Does not get rid of scars

I must say, this thing really works! During the 1st week, I put too much (too excited I guess) and it made my face really red and raw-ish. But after applying the moisturizer for a few days, it eventually faded away. It cleared most of the acne on my cheeks and forehead, around 75%. But I still have blackheads on my nose and chin, and occasional one or two pimples here and there. Highly recommended :)

Pros:

it cleared my skin! i was on bp for 2+ years already and trust me, that was 2 years of heaven for me. i still had one to two pimples every two months or so, but that didn't bother me at all.

Cons:

you had to spend at least 10 minutes for the application of bp. but i was willing to do that given its GOOD results. however, it seems like bp isn't working for me anymore.

i've had mild-moderate acne ever since i was 18. i've tried everything and nothing worked. so i remember one evening in 2007, while i was mindlessly surfing on the net on 'successful cures for acne' when i found this site. i read the reviews, and thought, why dont i give it a try? so i did. i remember i broke up during the first 2-3 weeks of this regime. but it was all worth it. after a month or so, my face was CLEAR! and throughout the past two years, i almost forgot how it's like to have pimples anymore. until recently, around a month or so, i broke up like crazy. at the beginning, i thought it was just a minor break out. but nope, it persisted for around a month already and nothing seems to work anymore. :( bottom line is: it DOES work! and i do recommended it. for those who are desperately in need of a 'miracle', here is your chance. it was difficult at the beginning because my skin was SO red and dry that i didn't even want to see anyone. besides that, and as most of you are concerned with, it WILL cause a break out at the beginning. but it's so worth it. and in terms of its lasting, i guess it depends on the individual. for me, it worked for 2 years. :(

Pros:

-Affordable
-Huge tube and bottle
-Last very long
-Easy to apply
-Dries quickly

I started this product a few weeks ago. Within the first week I could tell it was working. I was still breaking out, but not as often. Also, my skin was looking healthier. I have used many products before. I used Proactiv but got off of it because it was too costly. I tried many other products like Carely's, everything at Walgreens, and the cons like AcneTix and ProNexin. I didn't have a lot of knowledge of BP but it did work with Proactiv and is working again with Dan's Regimen. It's been about 3 weeks on the BP. I haven't broken out in the last few days.
