It's official, Daniel Kern was sent from Heaven to stop acne once and for all. He did just that. This product, this regimen WORKS! I used it for 1 year and then it stopped working but I believe it must have been because I was getting sloppy with the applications and such (also I was stressed over many things which could have contributed to the acne a little). So I went to a dermatologist for almost a whole year getting prescribed the most expensive garbage ever basically wasting my time. I decided to give the regimen one last try to relive my great acne free year and now it's been 4 days....my face went from 9 pimples to 2. It's working again because my face has not been this clear since the last time I was on the regimen. You wanna try this? DO IT. Do NOT hesitate, this will be the best decision you have made. If it stops working then you may wanna see if you're doing something wrong or what is going on in your life and hold it out, it could work again as it has for me.

Pros:

-dries face (great if you have super oily skin like mine)
-shrinks pores
-gets rid of blackheads
-cleared face
-restored skin color

Cons:

-super drying at first to where you are flakey
-may make your face red at first too

this treatment is amazing. I have tried sooooo many things and keep getting dissappointed. Topical: Differin, Ziana, Tazorac, Benzaclin, Aczone, Avar Oral: Trimethoprim, Doryx, Minocycline I was on Differin and a sodium sulfate gel with Solodyn and all it did after 3+ months was make my face super oily, have humongous pores with blackheads, huge cysts in my cheeks and jawline. I saw the BP treatment and thought what the heck I have nothing left to lose. My face dried overnight and after a week the large zits in my cheeks and jawline stopped coming and had almost completely vanished, my pores shrunk at least 5 times smaller than they were before and all the blackheads I had were completely gone. At first I had really dry dry skin to where it was super flakey but I would take dry skin over zitty, oily, huged pored face anyday. The moisturizer and AHA fixed that really well. I have never seen something work so fast and so productively in all the years that I have had acne:) amazinggggggggggggggggggg. seriously.

Pros:

Got rid of most of my acne, very affordable, and very fast turn around to get the orders out.

Cons:

Dry skin, occasional breakouts that are pretty bad, I'd say I get one or two random pimples per week still.

Great product, really improved my skin tone. My acne wasn't too bad but this completely got rid of acne that appeared everyday. No more blotchy red spots on my face. You MUST get the moisturizer to go along with it. I didn't to start and used Olay and it was horrible, it didn't absorb and I had the white color all over my face. Also, the AHA+ was the difference maker. The treatment alone helped but the AHA+ really did the trick. I don't use the moisturizer at night and go right from the BP to AHA+ on my entire face which seems to work the best for me. Wish the random pimples would completely go away but I can deal with them since its much better than before. I've used this product for over a year and it has been steadily improving that whole time. You should stick with this for at least two months because thats how long it took to show big improvement for me.

Pros:

Applies easily and clears skin.

Cons:

Can be drying.

I am amazed by how well this product works for me. I have struggled with moderate acne since I was 25, and for the first time in four years my skin is completely clear. I've been using this product for roughly 6 weeks. The product is easy to apply and feels very cool and comfortable. Expect dry, flaky skin for a few weeks after starting with this product, even when using moisturizer and joboba oil. However, by week 5 my skin was pretty much back to normal (minus the acne). This product is well worth the dryness, because this is the only acne product I have used that actually cleared my skin and is keeping it clear.

Pros:

Goes on smooth and clear, with no residue. Once your skin adjusts to it, it actually feels quite nice putting it on. Oxygenates the skin to prevent new pimples from forming, and heals up existing pimples faster.

Cons:

Can be drying in the beginning. If you have sensitive skin, you should start out with a once a day application, and then bump it up to twice a day once your skin adjusts.

Nothing I have ever used to treat my acne has worked so well. The only other thing that I ever used that got me completely clear was Retin-a, which decided to stop working for me a few months ago. I was breaking out like I wasn't even treating my acne at all, and the stuff was far too expensive to keep buying if it wasn't going to do the same job it did before. I started using this stuff, and after a little over a week, my skin is completely clear and smooth. All I have left are my scars, but I'm okay with that. I'm still getting used to be able to wash my face without pain, and I'm actually comfortable not wearing any foundation! Truly a wonderful product. The key is to just remember to be patient, as the adjustment period of your skin and how fast it clears up is different for each person.

Pros:

Teh best i've used for getting rid of acne. Dries up the acne very quickly. Goes on smooth and absorbs quickly.

Cons:

My skin is VERY sensitive, so sometimes my face likes to go on a flaking rage, even with the moisturizer and jojoba oil!

Even the most sensitive skin should start becoming more resiliant towards the BP. IMPORTANT: If a part of your face should become a little flakey, make sure not to keep putting BP on it, or else it will become more and more flakey, and eventually cause a breakout! Instead, just skip 1 BP session on that part of the face, and allow it to go back to normal before adding more BP. This is just my experience though. BUY IT! =D

Pros:

Eliminated pretty much every pimple on my skin after just 2 days!
The morning after the first use I could immediately see that existing zits had faded. It stops new zits from emerging.

Cons:

Like every other review given on this website I agree with the fact that it dries out ur skin. When you start using the BP, start with a small dosage, to see how your skin reacts. Up the dosage when you see it reacts well. Use moisturiser after BP.

I have tried pretty much every available acne treatment, from everything I could find in stores to Proactiv, and this method works best for me. I use 5% BP as 2.5% is unfortunately not available in my country, and in the beginning I feared that this concentration would do more worse than good, but it didn't. The things you have to keep in mind when using this regime is that it does not work miracles. Don't expect your face to be 100% after the first day, but be consistent and hang on. It worked for me, and it WILL work for you! And dont let the messages about flaking and dry skin scare you off, this you can fix with a good, non-comedogene moisturiser. Stop looking at yourself in the mirror with disgust, and start improving your skin with this regime, because it works! Thanks to acne.org, you guys did an amazing job! You changed my life!

Pros:

-It really does work!
-NO more pimples (Perfect Skin)!
-Marks are fading!

Cons:

NOTHING!

-The ONLY acne regimen that has worked! People, listen to me, I'm the PERFECT example of someone who has tried EVERYTHING (Birth Control pils, all type of Anti-biotics, Accutane, diets, natural remedies)! Nothing has worked until NOW! I was very skeptical about Dan's regimen, but decided to try it after reading all the wonderful reviews. For those of you who have not had positive results, I'm sorry (it could be that you're either allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide or it simply has no effect on your type of skin). -Dan, I want to THANK YOU! As a fashion model, my stuggle with acne became intolerable since everyone expects that I be/look PERFECT. Now, I do NOT have to worry about acne! Thanks so much for this WONDER! -For all of you who are skeptical, scared, worried about trying the regimen, give it a shot! You have NOTHING to lose and EVERYTHING to gain!

Pros:

good price (college student)
doesn't smell bad.

Cons:

none.
a little drying, but that's what BP is suppose to do!

i have mixed-dry-oily mild acne. This BP works better than the proactive repairing lotion (which i used for 6 years!). i decided to switch to this product because i felt that i deserved more consistent results than what proactiv was giving me. I recommend this to anyone who was once religous with proactiv, but is ready for a change. It's worth a shot, it seems to be working for me!

Pros:

No fragrance. Does not irratate my skin. Drys quick. Does not feel like I have anything on my face once it drys.

Cons:

Non

I tried MANY of the over the counter acne products with ZERO success UNTIL I found Dan's 2.5% BP. The stuff cleared my adult acne almost immediately after using it only a month. The 2.5% formula is mild enough to not irriate (my) skin while still delivering enough BP to take care of my acne.
