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

This did clear my acne but did not prevent or treat blackheads effectively. I started to develop blackheads on my cheeks which I had not experienced for some time. It darkened my complexion ( I am an Asian Pakistani) and made my skin very dry. I do not know if it was the BP, the moisturiser or the AHA but something bleached my bedsheets and tops. Personally, I prefer Epiduo which contains 2.5% BP and 0.1% Adapalene. In comparison to the acne.org BP you only need to apply a pea-sized amount once a day or night. Epiduo has been effective at preventing my acne, blackheads and my hyperpigmentation. Epiduo lasts much longer and has not made my skin too dry either.

I used this product for months but did not make any difference in my skin and in some ways made my acne worse! I know it is loads of good reviews on this and I do believe it work for some types of skin but i don't think is for everyone, for the price (which was quite expensive because I live in the UK) I would not recommend it to anyone.

Not sure how this is a thing. I mean...I tried it for 3 months. My skin has never been so dull looking and the acne still was a problem. Also, you can buy a soft Cleaner like Cetaphil (or others), get Benzol Peroxide and a non comedogenic moisturizer at Wal-Mart for half the price of this. I'm sure you can get some AHA somewhere for much cheaper as well too. I didn't look too much for that one. Just like with any product, you may get lucky and have it clear your acne. The price to pay for most of those who use BP every day is dull, lifeless, dry skin. Even with a ton of moisturizer and adding the Jojoba oil and trying the AHA. I gave it 2 stars because I know that getting most of these products at Wal-Mart can definitely clear the skin of some people. If you don't mind likely having dull, lifeless looking skin. Some of you won't mind...getting it clear is the only priority and I can get that.

This worked great for my skin and cleared up some acne for a few months but not fully, still had breakouts. Towards the end of my tube, this product applied to my face made it SUPER red the next day and I had patches of rednesss wherever I applied. I bought a new tube thinking that it was probably defective after time passed, but same result. RED PATCHES, made it look like i had a skin disease.

Acne.org Benzoyl Peroxide is the best BP product I've tried. I used it for about 3 years. The problem that I faced and the reason I stopped using it was because I started getting occasional cystic acne around my chin and jaw line after 2 years of use. The rest of my face was doing quite well. Had very few if any whiteheads and regular zits. I stopped using Benzoyl Peroxide when I moved to France, where it isn't legal over the counter, anywhere in the EU for that matter. I decided I wasn't comfortable using a product that has caused cancer in animals, or stains my clothes, towels, and sheets. Since going off Benz. Peroxide, I haven't had any cystic acne, but my face is more clogged overall, my forehead isn't as clear as it used to be. I am in the process of searching for an alternative that combats my oily/shiny skin and keeps away whiteheads/small zits.

Don't buy.

So after giving The Regimen a fair 3 month trial I can honestly say it did not work for me. At first it seemed like it did, then of course there was the bad breakout.. Ever since then I've been waiting for it to get better.. It hasn't. It went from my cheeks and chin, to my forehead and neck. I've gotten more cystic acne while on the regimen then ever before. It's super painful and I was so bummed to find out this is just another product on my list of stuff that just didn't work..

I'm hesitant to use more than a minimal amount on my face. I know the breaking out and redness is supposed to be a phase, but even after weeks of starting treatment, my shoulders were still horrendously rough and dry, so I was a bit unwilling to find out how my face would react.

The main downside of this gel to me, was scars after every single pimple. I DID NOT used to get any scars before. Now that I've stopped using it for about a year,I wont get those shallow scars anymore and it took a year for them to go away. Another problem was the hyper-pigmentation, for some reason they were more resistant than usual while on Dan's BP. To prove this to myself I applied the gel a couple of times to my chest acne. Yep, the H-pigmentation left behind was darker and more resistant than usual. Unfortunately I had to stop using this gel after getting a good control over my acne. I wish I could continue using it. I just thought I share my experience with every one, specially with those who think they are at the early stages of experiencing scars and are worried about the marks on their face, so the good news is you wont need any laser treatment or anything, they both will fade over time after you stop using BP gel...but if you're not worried about scars ...then carry on, because it the best stuff to control acne

it works for some but not for some. I guess my acne was quite bad as it was cystic ones. I'm sticking to the 5% and the jojoba moisturiser.
