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

It's cheap, effective and available over the counter. Use it long term and you can start to manage the dry skin. It's not a cure - it's just a treatment. I have recommended to many.

This is the best BP out there. I was concerned that the 2.5% would not be strong enough because I have used as high as 10% in the past. However, the 2.5% is just perfect... using this BP morning and night as recommended really helps to fight pimples all day. From my own experience, I must say, for me at least, it was very important to START SLOW. I was using too much, too soon and my skin got very red and itchy. Once I slowed down and reduced the amount, my skin got much better. I feel that every person's skin is different, so everyone should use the amount that is right for them. So some people may never have to use the full amount that Dan suggests. But this BP is honestly great, its a clear formula that absorbs quickly into the skin and fights pimples very well. I only hope that I will continue to see the same great results, and then I will never stop buying this product!

As long as you use it twice a day, following with a moisturizer afterwards and not skipping it should clear all your pimples.

if your gonna use BP, you mind as well as use one that doesn't irritate and is very smooth. I've only used couple of weeks so I can't tell you much of my acne clearing, but my cysts are getting smaller and it is much less red. However, I find that after using this BP, new pimples are coming at faster rate, forming zits faster, and sometimes it will spread to next pore, creating several tiny zits. Not sure if it's because of BP. But so far I like it more than any other BPs I've used and definitely will keep using it. If you moisturize well after each use, you won't dry as much and should be fine.

3 weeks and im liking it, hopefully it keeps showing results

I started using the regimen 2 weeks ago and i'm currently on my 3rd week. My face is getting really irritated, red, dry, itchy and even swollen. I asked people around me who used this kit before and they said it is normal. yet, the swelling is what got me concerned. Does anyone have the same symptoms as me when they used it because I am extremely worried and not sure whether or not to quit the regimen. Thanks

This is so much more cost effective (especially in the big container) than buying small tubes, a few at a time. It works exactly the way it's been described in the regimen. I LOVE it!

I have been using the daniel kern regimen for about a month now and after a month i have seen a lot of results. My skin is clear with the occasional pimple and my skin tone is down. Even though this is all true the more and more i use the regimen my skin begins to get dryer and dryer in places where my skin has never been dry. Its beginning to seem that im aging more everyday. Now after doing research, i realize that this treatment is only a preventative and once one were to stop using it many zits would arise. Im only nineteen and Im already seeing some of the terrible effects of BP. Im going to begin to try and wean myself off of it. For some advice of users of the treatment i would HIGHLY recommend jojoba oil use in between wash and treatment. But don't stay on BP for a very long time, its not a cure. I think worlds of this treatment due to its power and results. All of the products are great and work as they advertise. But I cant continue to use it. Now my regimen will be to wash and mosturize with jojoba... and the only use the regimen at night. I plan on switching to desert essense face wash as soon as i am done weaning myself off of this treatment. Thank you dan for being sincere and trying to help people. I can only say that for me, I cannot continue to use this BP. The moisturizer is unbelieveble(may continue to use)

Great product, really improved my skin tone. My acne wasn't too bad but this completely got rid of acne that appeared everyday. No more blotchy red spots on my face. You MUST get the moisturizer to go along with it. I didn't to start and used Olay and it was horrible, it didn't absorb and I had the white color all over my face. Also, the AHA+ was the difference maker. The treatment alone helped but the AHA+ really did the trick. I don't use the moisturizer at night and go right from the BP to AHA+ on my entire face which seems to work the best for me. Wish the random pimples would completely go away but I can deal with them since its much better than before. I've used this product for over a year and it has been steadily improving that whole time. You should stick with this for at least two months because thats how long it took to show big improvement for me.

I am amazed by how well this product works for me. I have struggled with moderate acne since I was 25, and for the first time in four years my skin is completely clear. I've been using this product for roughly 6 weeks. The product is easy to apply and feels very cool and comfortable. Expect dry, flaky skin for a few weeks after starting with this product, even when using moisturizer and joboba oil. However, by week 5 my skin was pretty much back to normal (minus the acne). This product is well worth the dryness, because this is the only acne product I have used that actually cleared my skin and is keeping it clear.
