it works!

Pros:

it works

Cons:

expensive to ship to UK

after 7 months on accutane, acne returned and it was bad. And on top of acne returning I lost 50% of my hair. So, in a desperate attempt I decided to give regimen a try and it did wonders to my skin. I have no active acne and my skin is under control. It is costly for me to get it from states as I live in UK but I have no other option at the moment. I recommend it, give it a try:)

LOVE IT!!!!!!

Pros:

Works quickly
gets rid of acne

Cons:

It dries your skin

My best friend and I both purchased the acne.org regimen almost a year ago. We both suffer from severe cystic acne. Our acne is mostly on our cheeks and chin. We never get acne on our foreheads. When I purchased it I followed the directions exactly how it said. After a week I saw a big difference. Even my family started seeing a difference. The only down side I experienced when I first started using the regimen was I still had acne not as bad which is expected ( it take time to get rid of acne) but my skin was extremely dry. It was flaky and putting make up on top made it so much worst. My friend said this happened to her too. After a month of using it I only had acne scars and I stop using the regimen like the direction said I used it here and there. My friend stop using it after a week because she wasn't getting results like I was. If you are a person that wants to see results quick, please use it for two months and then decide weather it worked or not. I'm not the type that likes to stick to a regimen for to long and I like to try new things. But when ever my acne gets bad I always go back to the Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment. I really don't care for the cleanser or the moisturizer that comes with the regimen, So I didn't repurchase it. You can get better ones from the drugstore. But the Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment works really well. It is the only thing that really help get rid of my cystic acne.

Not good as a long-term product

Pros:

Eliminated major zits
Controlled oil
prevents future breakouts

Cons:

Drying
Dulled skin

Acne type: Moderate to moderate sever The Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment was somewhat effective for the first several weeks that I used it. The Regimen required a smaller amount of BP to be used at first and then slowly amping up the dosage. My skin cooperated well with the small dosage of BP during the first three weeks. However, the BP started giving my skin problems the fourth week and all the time afterwards. First of all, the BP totally dulled my skin. The BP gave my skin kind of a gray cast on my face, rather than a natural healthier glow on my skin. I wish that the BP had some sort of extra ingredient where it would "renew" the skin where the acne was to reduce scarring. This probably was due to the fact that the BP was drying even with the moisturizer I applied afterwards. My skin was not necessarily flaky...my face just looked like dead skin was laying on top of it. BP may be effective for the actual acne, but it is indeed harsh for the skin around it unfortunately. So for me personally, BP is not worth the damage. In addition, all of my acne scars have not disappeared. I used this product for 4 months consistently. This product may prevent future breakout, but it does not clear up the skin completely.

Pros:

Fragrance free, inexpensive

Cons:

None

At 40 years old I started having severe cystic breakouts along my jawline, the side of my cheeks and occasionally around my mouth. After googling 'acne' a million times trying to find answers, I clicked on this site that kept coming up and started reading. I was skeptical, but had nothing to lose. If I had before and after photos to show I would! This has been a miracle really, I am so grateful to Dan. I nave never written a review on anything, but I feel this is so important! The regimen works!

Pros:

*It works on my daughter's acne-prone skin.
*It's gentle enough that she's able to use it daily without irritating her sensitive skin.
*The tube is HUGE and inexpensive and should last her a year.

Cons:

None yet.

We finally found an inexpensive, low-strength BP gel that my daughter is able to use without the burning and irritation that came with higher-strength BP gels. Since she's able to use it everyday her skin is FINALLY almost clear now, and she'll be able to continue using it as a preventive medication along with her prescription of Differin. It's size alone makes it inexpensive; 8 of the 1-ounce drugstore bottles of BP gel would cost around $40 before tax. I think this was less than half that. Highly recommend!

Pros:

~ No new breakouts
~ My skin is so smooth
~ No acne on my face!
~ Amazing results
~ My confidence is sky high !
~ GO AND BUY THIS PRODUCT!

Cons:

~ Very drying at first
~ My skin got worse before it got better
~ Stings my eyes
~ Took me over a month to see results, but definitely worth it!

I have suffered from light/moderate acne since the age of 13 which meant I had acne during my whole time at secondary school. I had to constantly cake make-up on to hide the horrible blemishes! I had no confidence because my skin was so bad :( I have tried every single product on the British market and nothing seemed to work (except for Panoxyl). In the end I decided to venture over seas and find a product from the States. I have been wanting to try this product for over a year and a half after hearing such amazing reviews surrounding it! A massive issue was that it costed over £50 ($60) to get shipped to the UK direct from acne.org :( In the end I purchased the regimen from Amazon for a fraction of the cost :) In the first month of using this product my acne worsened and was very painful and itchy. My skin was flaky and dry but I persevered knowing that these symptoms were normal. This isn't a product that you apply and wake up the next day with perfect skin; it takes time for your skin to adjust to the Benzyl Peroxide and everyone's skin reacts in different ways! For me, my skin got worse before it got better. After two months of using this product my skin started clearing up and I mean it looked AMAZING! My life has been turned around!!! I feel so confident and normal now my skin is clear. I still get the odd spot around my period, but that is nothing in comparison to what I had before trying this regimen Anyone with acne BUY THIS REGIMEN! It will change your skin for the better! Thank you Dan Kern :)

Pros:

Gets ri of acne, old, new, and popped all the same.
Fantastic quantity for price.
Feels good on skin.
No odor.

Cons:

Dries skin but i find this good for stubborn pimples be w little moisturizer does the trick perfectly.
Does bleach towels but that's to be expected.

I didn't feel right not posting a review after Ive tested this for a few months and finally found the perfect formula. If I apply two full squirts morning and night, I am IMMUNE to acne. Thanks so much Dan.

Pros:

Clears skin

Cons:

Dries skin(Use jojoba/olive oil to combat).

I have been using BP from acne.org for the past year and a half and my light/moderate acne has completely vanished. It cleared my face in about a week and has not stopped working over time. Once in a blue moon, I'll get a pimple, but for the most part I'm clear. Love this product! Completely worth it!

Pros:

I would say the best 2.5% benzoyl peroxide ever! I love the texture because it is so easy to apply and it saves me a lot of time. I usually took about 10-15 mins applying other benzoyl peroxide cream. Now, 3 mins is enough. Secondly, even with first application, i can see the difference. Upon first day on this regimen, the frequency of acne appearing is reduced extensively. I cant wait to wake up every morning to see my face gets better. This is definitely THE ONE!

Cons:

I know it will bleach fabrics, so to counter that, whenever i go to work, i will use a white singlet or tshirt inside to avoid it from bleaching my outer shirt ( that is if you are using it on to your body for body and back acne )

This is definitely a keeper for any acne sufferer. I practically tried everything there is on the counter, but this proven to be the only treatment that keeps the acne away.
