Pros:

Good value and quantity.Love the smooth light texture. Absorbs quickly. Works to control acne!!

Cons:

Can bleach stuff, clothing and bedding as well. Can cause burning sensation on sensitive skin around eyes.

For years I've suffered with adult acne. I found relief in using Proactiv, but it was expensive. Then I found acne.org site and was turned on to the regimen. It's basically very similar to Proactiv, the key is the 2.5% BP applied to clean skin. I only buy the BP and use OTC cleanser & moisturizer. My teenage daughter also started having acne and so we started on this at the same time. We buy 8oz size and share, this lasts us 6 months. The way I figure it up, I spend $40 over 6 month period for all our products, a $10 sav'g over Proactiv and I now get enough product for 2 people rather than just myself. I love, love, love it!!!! And so does my daughter!!! It really works!!! NO MORE ACNE! I use moisturizer before applying BP and now don't have issues with spreading BP into sensitive areas. Avoids the burn and still same great effects.

Pros:

Spreads well, absorbs fast, feels great

This stuff absolutely rocks. It goes on great and I like the mild smell it has. It seems to irritate my skin less than other BP treatments as well. Oh yea, and it works!

Pros:

Does not burn
No smell
Locks in moisture

Cons:

The same bottle decreases in effectiveness after about 12 months. Need to reorder as BP does dissociate in solution and become less effective over time.

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

Pros:

Great Texture
Goes on smooth, silky vs. Neutrogena On the spot tx.
Works great with moisturizers
Has greatly improved my skin (acne) within the 1st few days. with continued used I can tell I will still continue to see great improvement.

Cons:

Mild burning when I first started treatment. Usually goes away within 5 or so minutes.
Makes my skin a tad bit dry w/ mild flaking, but nothing compared to Neutrogena on the spot tx.

I would say yes definetly give this a whirl..it doesn't cost too much and the shipping was really fast. I rec'd my package within 2 days. The bottle is a very good size and even w/ the 3 pump use, it should last awhile. I can't rave enough about the texture of this BP. I was using Neutrogena on the Spot treatment before and had to use in very small amounts because it would dry so quickly. My skin does very well with this gel texture. I've noticed some mild breakouts but my old one's are clearing up quite nicely and with continued use I feel they will slowly clear as well.

Pros:

- doesn't smell
- doesn't burn
- creamy texture
- works!!!

Cons:

nothing at all

I was 2 days shy of my doctor putting me on Acutane. My acne was that severe and I was 28 and absolutely sick of it. In a last ditch effort, I made a leap of faith and ordered all of the acne.org products. I saw results within two days!!! My husband could not believe his eyes and neither could I. I practically burst into tears at the sight of my new skin. Love, love, love all of these products.

Pros:

Works better than anything I've ever tried
Fast
Easy to do
Able to use day and night--goes on clear
Almost entirely clear skin

Cons:

Flakiness similar to accutane
Lots of initial redness

I love this stuff. Used everything else from accutane many years ago to recently retin-a and tetracycline. Only this has worked. Went from have 2-4 new pimples every day to once a week. Almost entirely clear. Make sure to get a good moisturizer though.

Pros:

10 times better than proactive.
No smell
generous size compared to proactive
$$$$ = perfect

Cons:

None

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!

Pros:

No scent
Cleared up acne
Works great as an overnight spot treatment
A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS :)

Cons:

NONE.

This product is magical! Like a lot of you, I tried every product from every company and despite the promises to clear 100% of acne I found myself either worse off or with no change at all. I came to Acne.org to find reviews on other products and when I found out Dan sold products I decided to give it a try. I have a sensitive face so I had about 2 weeks worth of peeling, itching and burning while trying to get used to the BP but once that subsided I was able to look into the mirror for the first time in my life and feel confident. I got compliments left and right from people I didn't even know and I felt so good about myself. I'm going to be using this product for the rest of my life, I love it so much! P.S. I know how extremely uncomfortable it can be during the time period that you're skin is trying to get used to the BP but please believe me when I say DON'T GIVE UP! Your skin will eventually get used to it and all of your acne will be gone for good. Just hang in there and good luck to everyone who is suffering with acne, it will get better :)

Pros:

This product goes on light and smooth, does not irritate whatsoever. It clears any current outbreaks overnight and prevents new ones. Using it everyday will help you maintain clear, healthy skin.

Cons:

Might take a few days for your skin to get used to it. AVOID EYE AREA!! If your regimen also includes an eye cream...I would use the eye cream first, let it completely absorb/dry before you use the treatment. Also, make sure to let the treatment completely absorb/dry before applying moisure lotion (as the directions state) to further ensure you will not irritate delicate eye skin..

I never had a problem with acne during my teens and early twenties. In my late twenties I got "adult acne" and as a woman a common problem...rosacea in the balls of my cheeks, and little pimples under the skin that never formed a head, and were continually there!! I tried some products from the drug store...they were very harsh for my skin. I also tried proactiv and it bleached all my towels!! Anyway, the acne.org treatment is THE BEST..it goes on light and smooth, does not irritate, and is a reasonable part of a daily routine. I appreciate the discreet packaging in shipment and the bottle itself. I literally cannot imagine life without this product...Im 31 now , so [link removed] you better provide this for another...I dont know...50 years!! xoxox I would not be without it!!!

Pros:

Completely cleared my acne
Doesn't leave a residue
Cheap
Dries quickly

Cons:

Drying, but all acne treatments are...
Bleaches clothes and towels

I tried this product and regimen after seemingly all else failed, and it brought my skin from being damaged, bespeckled, incredibly acne prone, blotchy and unhealthy to radiant, absolutely flawless, glowing, youthful and completely without acne. For as long as I get acne, I will never go off the regimen. I highly recommend this.
