Pros:

nothing for sensitive skin

Cons:

my face was destroyed
not for sensitive skin
extreme redness
dryness

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

Pros:

None

Cons:

Medicinal Smell
Very Drying, even when following exact regimen
Stings the Eyes

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.

Pros:

Clear and smooth

Cons:

Made me break out more
Clumps under the moisturizer
Hard to put makeup on top of it

I paid 8 bucks for shipping for a bottle of BP hoping that it would clear my horrible acne. Instead, I broke out even more after a month of us and I got new scars on my face now. I followed the regimen religiously, which involves Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer. It's what he recommended before he decided to make money out of it. Worse yet, it clumps under with the moisturizer and makeup. Nothing like he promised about it being smooth as a gel. If you are not applying anything on top of it, then it's a good clear product. It was a total waste of my money.

Are you kidding me??!?!??!?!
Are you serious, Dan? I saw all the good reviews of this regimen, and look where it took me. My skin got so flaky and it looks absolutely disgusting and it made my skin to get worse and more sensitive and I am having break outs. What is this? Also, I don't understand why you charged me for another this whole kit even though I DID NOT order on September 10!!!!! I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why you are saying that my order has been shipped.. Shipped to where? To heaven? Seriously, give my freaking money back. Send it directly through my bank account. I am so very disappointed with this regimen and your service. This regimen was my last hope for my acne, but you made it worse and you gave me more stress by taking my money away from my bank account even though I DID NOT order this freaking regimen again. HA. You better respond to my email ASAP and give my money back and I don't even want your regimen, your kit anymore. Take them with you and give me my money back NOW.

Been using this for many years now. The first time I used it my skin got worse before it got better... My skin got flaky and it purged. Good thing about the flakiness was that it renewed my skin faster, hence the scars faded faster too.. Hang in there.

Please try it again and give it at least a month before you judge. My skin went through a seriously scary, flakey phase and now it's beautiful. Takes time and patience!

It happened to me at first, but I apply more (a lot) moisturizer in the nights and help me a lot, and on the day I use at least protection SPF 30 (société Prime & Defend).

Pros:

none

Cons:

flaky skin
dries top layer of skin making acne worse
seems good at first but gets worse in time
creates large cysts
company does not honor warranty

This product will fool you. At first it seems like it's working, but what Benzyl Peroxide does is dry your top layer of skin causing the clogged pores underneath to erupt in time. You will have more severe acne after using this product than you started with. Also don't expect a refund from this company. I returned my unused product and never received my promised refund even after multiple emails. Not only did I lose the money I spent on the product, I lost the money I spent to return it. Buyer Beware!

Pros:

- Helped clear my neck/back

- Worked temporarily

Cons:

- Became extremely worse

- Would make my skin peel and become flaky during the middle of the day

I dont know what the f**k happened. I fought acne for several years but it was never bad because I always had it under control. It started annoying me, so being the perfectionist that I am I wanted to get rid of it once and for all. I started taking this product and it was a smooth ride at first, I was getting better day by day and then out of nowhere it went far south. I don't know if I got an allergic reaction or maybe it was going to get this bad either way (which I highly doubt) but it got severe. Like an idiot I kept on using it for another week or two because I convinced myself it was getting all the acne out and would then improve. Wrong. My acne was getting so red and painful that I actually couldn't even sleep or smile because I would feel the pain. I refused to look at myself in the mirror because I was disgusted with myself. Multiple zits would form on each other, I'm getting grossed out just talking about it. It's 6 months later and I'm still trying to recover, it's a lot better but my face has bad post-acne marks and I will probably have permanent scars from this horrible experience I've had. People have had success with this and I'm happy for them but I regret using this product everyday of my life. I wish I just battled teenage acne by just washing my face like I used to, because now I don't know what the f**k to do anymore. I can't believe I'm going to have acne scars on my face because of this.

Pros:

a lot of product, last a long way.
great expectation

Cons:

sting your eyes
inflammation on the spot area
allergic reaction after about one month of use. Itchiness and horrible texture of my skin. Make you more sensitive to sun exposure, causing -in my case- more hyper pigmentation.

it was working really good for about a month, after that i started to developed what i think is an allergic reaction to acne.org BP. Every night i applied the product in my problem areas, and by next morning the covered area presented a horrible allergic reaction: a) the skin was red b) supper itchy, c) raised from the rest of the skin d) didnt improve the existing pimples e) awful texture of the skin in the BP covered area.(like i had salt grains under my skin). f) take about one week to get rid of the reaction. Then, after about a month of use, i switched to neutrogena 2.5 PB and that product is working just fine. Conclusion, im not allergic to BP, but im allergic only to acne.org BP brand. i really wanted to find a miracle product to improve my acne, but i havent yet. anybody with the same story?
