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

it helps but it really dries out your skin if you don't use it carefully. I suggest you start off by only using it once every night or once every other day. It is worth a try so give it a shot : )

To be fair, I have rosacea and my skin is sensitive, the product did work but I just cannot tolerate the itch & burn anymore. Even after over a month of use and in small quantities it burns so baddd!!! For people with "normal" skin, it's probably a great product- but if you have rosacea/sensitive skin-stay away it's way too strong. (still giving it a 4 because I think the extreme reaction is not "typical")

I've used this product for well over a year and am overall impressed. Good price, good product. However it does damage the skin significantly.Skin builds up a reliance and in the event you decide to change your regime to something more natural, you'll be hit with a whirlwind. I am still using this product however 3 months ago I had decided to ween myself off this product into a much more natural regimen. I got down to one application every other day. Doing this for over a month I decided to finally eliminate that application. Big Mistake. The breakouts that followed were 10 fold worse than any I had experienced in my life. I've switched products in the past as I'm now longer a young man and understand the adaption period your skin requires. However that calm after the storm never came. For over a month I persisted to no avail. In the end my confidence and personal life was suffering too severely which prompted me to start using BP, again. Transition back into form was not easy either as I took me the better part of two months to get to a level close to where I was before. However in the end I recommend this product because it did improve my situation. But do your research first and look into natural alternatives.

As a 30 year-old that has suffered with acne for 18 years, this is the best stuff out there. At first, my skin did not respond well but within a month or two, things turned around (well worth the wait!)

at first my face started to clear up and it turned extremly red. as the week progressed, the redness became more severe and it look like i had been burnt in the sun for days. the acne was dissappearing but this couldnt have been good on my face. i mean it makes your face red and dry. i went the natural way of eating fruits and detoxing and now my face is alot better and clearing up better than ever

This may work for some people, but I found the product extremely harsh. Also it stung my eyes and caused them to go cloudy for an hour after application. I don't suggest if you have sensitive skin.

WORKS GREAT! Only product that has ever worked so effectively for me, and so quickly. Very affordable as well!

You need to try this if you used proactive and it worked some what. This will work much better if used correctly. I have been using it for a little over a week and it is so much better than proactive I love it! Thanks dan!

Years ago I was clear after I went to a dermatologist that had me on something very similar to the acne.org regimen. Well, I moved and changed jobs/insurance and couldn't go to that derm anymore. So guess what? My acne came back with a vengeance, and I have not been able to find anything that works - until stumbling across this site. In short, Dan is the man. I've been on absolutely EVERYTHING, including Accutane, and *nothing* has given me these results - and in such a short amount of time,too! I've been dealing with acne for well over 15 years and because of this product I no longer cringe when I look in the mirror. That is sayin' something. In only two weeks, I've gone from a spotty mess to very close to clear. This benzoyl peroxide is even better than the one my dermatologist had me on because THIS one goes on clear, does not smell, make any sort of mess, and has a fairly light consistency. I wear makeup over this with no problem whatsoever. It's perfect! Combined with the AHA, I am finally kicking acne's butt. Don't delay, people - GET THIS. When I think about all the money I wasted on other spot treatments I could cry!

This stuff is pretty amazing. Using it as part of the regimen cleared up my acne. It does irritate the skin, but that gradually goes away somewhat. It still makes my skin a little red even after using it for a few months, but I prefer that over acne. It bleached and ruined a couple of my shirts, but I stopped applying it so low on my neck and don't have that problem any more. I don't need to use as much as recommended in the regimen. Once my acne cleared up I scaled it back some and my face is still clear. That way I don't have to wait so long for it to dry and it irritates my face less. Make sure you do the regimen twice a day and don't skip, though! Every time I skipped even once I'd end up getting a few zits over the ensuing days.
