No more acne pimple after 10 days!!!
I'm 21 years old form Mauritius! I had mild/medium adult acne for 1 year now. I tried everything I could and was desperate.. until my sister told me about this product. I thought what could I lose in trying. This was the best decision i could make! I've been using the product for 10 days now and I got no more acne pimple on my face. Before that, everyday i used to get plenty of small white/yellow pimple all over my face. The only things is that my skin is breaking about due to dryness (even if I use the Regimen moisturizer) but I'm happy about it because it is removing the dark spots from previous acne off my face!! I am slowly getting back my confidence! I would definitely advice this product for anyone who is suffering form acne!

Best Product Ever
I've been suffering acne since pre adolescent, I'd try everything on the store/pharmacy, but when I used this I saw results in 3 days, in 2 week I was another person!! It's true that it started itching and my skin started having dry spots, but I used extra moisturizer by nights and problem solve! I highly recommend this product! He sufrido acne desde mi pre adolescencia, he tratado todo lo que esta en la tienda/farmacia, pero cuando use este, miré resultados en 3 días, a las 2 semanas era otra persona!! Es verdad que empezé con comezón y a tener partes resecas, pero use extra humectante por las noches y problema resuelto! Yo recomiendo altamente este producto!

Pros:

clears up acne - even cystic, skin showed improvement OVERNIGHT! absorbs almost instantly, lightweight, and no odor

Cons:

If you don't follow the directions for use at the very start of treatment then you WILL get a MAJOR amount of dryness and flaking!!! SO, USE A LITTLE AT THE START.

After a week of using the entire Acne.org regimen, my cystic acne is GONE. All I have are the dark spots left on my face where those cysts used to be. OH, and get this, the BP has rid ALL of my blackheads!!! I literally plucked the blackheads off my nose as if I were tweezing my eyebrow hairs hahah! I'm so thankful to Dan and his team! Life-changing for sure :D

Pros:

clears skin
goes on smoothly
feels good when you lather it on

Cons:

dries your skin really badly
takes time
irritated the corners of my mouth and darkened my mouth area for a while
have to keep using it

i didn't start having acne 'til my junior year of high school when i moved from california to massachusetts. i initially thought i started breaking out because of climate change. i've always had really clear/flawless skin and was one of those people who would stress over one or 2 pimples. i started using many various products which made me break out even more and i eventually developed terrible acne, all over. dark red/purple marks all over my cheeks and forehead. bumps on my chin. i freeeaaked out. i would never look people in the eye because my skin was so bad. i heard about acne.org and gave it a shot. within a month, it cleared the bumps on my face but i still had dark purple cysts on my cheeks, these didn't clear up til the 4th month of using benzoyl peroxide. i was pretty clear but still not satisfied because i had acne scars left on my right cheek. so i used ambi fade cream in hopes to clear it.....WAS A BIG MISTAKE. i put it all over my face and a couple days later, new pimples formed. so i suggest you really dont add in products. i was clear for a bit and eventually stopped using benzoyl because i ran out and didn't feel like ordering more. i began wearing makeup and well now im breaking out again. my fault. so now im back where i started. benzoyl really does help. You should consistently use it for results. At first your face will feel terrible and dry/flaky, you're going to hate it. I always got irritation around the corners of my mouth and it would darken my skin but eventually heal once my acne healed. So be patient, it really does work. I would say it takes a good 4 months if you have cysts and deep red marks like i did and if you never used this product before. Since I've used it in the past, it clears my skin faster when i get breakouts. The deep red scars took about 8 months to clear, so please be patient and don't pick at your skin.

Pros:

Goes on clear and easy
Works fast
Not overly drying after a few weeks
No scent
Absorbs well

Cons:

None so far

Best bp ever. Not a cream so it is way easy to apply and it absorbs into your skin very well. It is clear and does not have a scent. Doesn't leave white residue. Works just as well if not better than any other bp that is 10% but is way less drying. No joke, this is the best bp available. And the huge bottle is awesome.

Pros:

-Works, helps you control acne and prevent new ones from forming
-Odorless
-Goes on smooth since its a gel type of formula
-Makes face feel clean after moisturizing

Cons:

-May bleach clothes/pillow cover if your not careful
-Bleaches your hair if you don't rinse your hair around the face
-May burn/irritate skin if you apply on your forehead and sweat during workout
-Fumes may irritate sensitive eyes
-May cause redness in certain areas
-May increase sunburn if no sunblock is used
-Doesn't clear acne 100%, maybe 85%-90% for me
-Takes up of time in your day to do the regimen (especially when your on vacation)

I have been using it consistently for about 5 years everyday, it was the best thing I could find after trying a whole mess of products at the store. I was 18 (24 now) and my acne was moderately severe and it wasn't getting any better. After using it consistently, it was working and I never stopped since recently (totally regret it). My skin looked great for 2 weeks after quitting it (to try some natrual alternatives) but then soon after I'm back to exactly what I looked like 5 years ago, too embarrassed to go out now with all these cysts and pustules white heads on my face. I guess I have to get back to using this. I find that also I have to watch my diet as well, completely avoiding milk, which for some reason causes me to breakout even on the regimen which sucks cause I like milk, and avoiding alcohol which also sucks. Just do this regimen, eat a balanced diet, any applying some jojoba oil to my moisturizer (cause my skin gets dry), it helped me look normal and acne free.

Pros:

Works better than anything I've ever tried
Fast
Easy to do
Able to use day and night--goes on clear
Almost entirely clear skin

Cons:

Flakiness similar to accutane
Lots of initial redness

I love this stuff. Used everything else from accutane many years ago to recently retin-a and tetracycline. Only this has worked. Went from have 2-4 new pimples every day to once a week. Almost entirely clear. Make sure to get a good moisturizer though.

Pros:

-Works!!
-Absorbs easily

Cons:

-Can dry skin out at first, or with over application. Get to know your skin. You'll know when you need more or less of BP.
-Bleaches your pillows, towels clothes. (i just use white linens =)

I have been using this product for 5 years now I can't believe I'm only reviewing it now. It has cured my acne. I did not have cystic acne but I had a fair amount of breakouts, I'd say moderate. It was bad enough that it hurt my self esteem. I am not on the Regimen I just use the treatment. I like to experiment with different moisturizers and creams but I stay loyal to my treatment every night. My skin has been perfect except for the occasional hormonal breakout. I cannot thank Dan enough for what his product has done for my skin. I'm going to try the AHA next. I'm still in my early twenties but I'd like to keep wrinkles at bay. What I learned from this program is to take care of my face. DO NOT TOUCH IT, BE GENTLE. I know my skin now, I know if i need more or less BP, or what moisturizers it likes, to the temperature of the water it needs. Thanks Dan for making me love my skin!

Pros:

Fantastic results

Cons:

Very Drying (but that is the nature of BP)

I'm only on the 11th day of using this product, but I am the most impressed with it out of any product I've ever used. Aside from a few days of ridiculously dry/flaky/itchy skin, I can definitely tell that it is working! While my skin is red from the product working on it all day, I can tell that my pores are shrinking and my skin is smoothing out. I'm still getting new bumps, but they are healing insanely fast! I am really excited to keep watching my skin heal! I've never seen results like this before! A word of advice - when your skin becomes dry and flaky, resist the urge to scrub it! Never scrub! Scrubbing takes away your skin's chance to heal!

Pros:

well absorbed

Cons:

made my skin a bit red..but this is BP.

Due to my super sensitive skin I use this really lightly on my jaw line as I have moderate acne. (even though Dan's regime suggested a more generous amount) It worked better than Spectro's BP and I really like this product. Made my acne die down a lot more. And I sometimes use this as a spot treatment and it gets rid of my acne within 2 days max., which is great! Even though the shipping fee was a bit of a bummer I still think it was worth the purchase.
