Pros:

This stuff keeps my face clear. I mean NICE! I haven't had nice skin since I was ten (I'm 23 now),and I've been using this four months now, and have been recommending it to all my friends with acne problems. Use it consistently and you will be happy!

Cons:

None that I can think of. Benzoyl peroxide stains, but that's the nature of the beast. That is nothing compared to finally getting nice skin.

Before I tried this stuff, I had been on a prescribed antibiotic (doxycycline) and antiobiotic acne cream (DuAc: clyndamycin and 10% benzoyl peroxide) for two years. I got decent results, but it never totally cleared me up and it never even touched the deeper red marks on the sides of my face. I tried this 2.5% benxoyd peroxide from this site because I got tired of putting antibiotics into my body for so long, and because a friend told me it worked for her "like magic." Well Im so glad I did. My face is clear now!! I didn't think that would ever happen. I went from purplish/red deep acne on the sides of my face, with topical zits here and there, and now if I get 1 zit it's only because I didn't use my 2.5% benz. peroxide last night. Be patient and use it consistently (use a lot like Dan suggests). I saw some results within a week, and it only keeps getting better for me. MY mom keeps saying "That stuff you're using is working GREAT on you!"

Pros:

Awesome!! Nothing else worked and I was ready to go on Acutane...I'm 41 and the mother of 3 so this was my last hope. It is the best and as many acne suffers would say, I've tried everything.

Cons:

No cons!!!

I suffered from some acne in my teen years and then a breakout every now and then in between, but when I turned 39, all of a sudden I started getting systemic acne mainly on my cheeks and chin. Several at a time and they would take forever to go away. I picked and then started scaring. It was unsightly and I couldn't believe I was dealing with this at my age, now 41. I was ready to go on acutane but my dermatoligist said he needed to try one more antibiotic. I started the Doxycyl twice a day about 4 months ago, the same time the regimin came in the mail. I thought to continue using both, and my skin has made a 95% improvement. I am now only taking 1 doxycyl a day and think that I can stop soon, but I really feel that it is the regimen, and not the doxycyl. I have been on other antibiotics and they have not worked. I think this is the best product and I am ordering more. It lasts a long time! I have my self confidence back and I know it is because of these products!!!!!

Pros:

This gel form of benzoyl peroxide really works better than all others. In 2 weeks following the regimen, my face has cleared up.If I do get a zit, it does not turn big and only lasts for 1 or 2 days. This is a must try. remember to stick with it!

Cons:

Did initially dry my skin and cause flaking, which BP doesnt. I use lac-hydryn five lotion with a few drops of jojoba oil and it took care of the dryness and flaking. It even helped improve my skin tone which is great.

You must try this BP gel with the regimen. It absorbs well when you gently massage it into your skin. You need to stick to the regimen even if you suffer break outs.I have moderate acne and it has cleared me up very well. I dont know how well it would work for those who have severe acne. Stick to the regimen!

Pros:

Feels great - smooth, goes on easily, isn't too thick or thin.
I've really seen a difference in my skin - I have mildish acne but it gets worse around my period. However this hasn't happened since I've been using it.

Cons:

My skin is a little bit dry, but not as bad as it has been in the past and I haven't even tried using a moisturizer yet, so I'm not worried. It doesn't smell great, but it's not terrible.

I've had acne for probably four or five years, and it's been a constant source of embarrassment/irritation to me. My doctor had been saying that BP was the only thing that works, but I hadn't been able to find anything less than 10%, which was way too harsh for my skin. I'm going to be using this product indefinitely.

Pros:

Great stuff! This product saved my face and confidence. Perfect size and potency- I'll use it for the rest of my life.

Cons:

None

I've used this for the past year and a half. When I started, my acne was moderate-on a good day. I noticed results within weeks, and now my face is completely clear with the exception of the occasional breakout which happens every few months. I owe Dan so much - Thank You for providing this product and regimen to all of us.

By far best treatment i had

I tried many otc products and visited a couple of derma already. This is by far the most effective and consistent treatment i had. I have been using this since 2014 together with the Regimen facial wash, moisturizer and AHA. My acne has been controlled since then. Unlike proactiv which was only effective for the first 2yrs. So happy to came across this website and community. I even recommended this to my friends :)

Good day,

I just started the regimen and would love to ask.

so i know that the first week, you only apply the BP once per day and just a pea size.

 

Please help with week two.

I know you have to now apply twice per day at this stage but do you increase the BP or it must still be pea size but twice a day?

Works Very Well
I am a 24 year old female and have been dealing with moderate, extremely persistent acne on and off for about 10 years. I have been on five rounds of Accutane which all helped for awhile but the acne would come back. After countless OTC products and other prescriptions/oral medications, I finally decided to try the acne.org regimen. I spent a lot of time reading reviews and trying to decide if it was something I wanted to use. I was hesitant as I live in Canada and knew that the shipping would be expensive. However, about two and a half months ago I decided to order the starter kit. I have been using it faithfully and diligently 2x per day as directed and my skin is now completely clear. It took about 5-6 weeks until my skin really became clear and the breakouts stopped. I have now been able to drop down to just one pump of the BP instead of a full two pumps as I was getting quite irritated from it. I really like this system for its acne-clearing performance- it really works well if you stick to it. I do find that my skin is still very dry and can become irritated on and off, and I will just adjust the routine accordingly. I have never written a review but promised myself that I would if this actually worked- all these reviews helped me decide if I should use the acne.org products and I hope that my review can do the same for you!
