Pros:

it cleared my skin! i was on bp for 2+ years already and trust me, that was 2 years of heaven for me. i still had one to two pimples every two months or so, but that didn't bother me at all.

Cons:

you had to spend at least 10 minutes for the application of bp. but i was willing to do that given its GOOD results. however, it seems like bp isn't working for me anymore.

i've had mild-moderate acne ever since i was 18. i've tried everything and nothing worked. so i remember one evening in 2007, while i was mindlessly surfing on the net on 'successful cures for acne' when i found this site. i read the reviews, and thought, why dont i give it a try? so i did. i remember i broke up during the first 2-3 weeks of this regime. but it was all worth it. after a month or so, my face was CLEAR! and throughout the past two years, i almost forgot how it's like to have pimples anymore. until recently, around a month or so, i broke up like crazy. at the beginning, i thought it was just a minor break out. but nope, it persisted for around a month already and nothing seems to work anymore. :( bottom line is: it DOES work! and i do recommended it. for those who are desperately in need of a 'miracle', here is your chance. it was difficult at the beginning because my skin was SO red and dry that i didn't even want to see anyone. besides that, and as most of you are concerned with, it WILL cause a break out at the beginning. but it's so worth it. and in terms of its lasting, i guess it depends on the individual. for me, it worked for 2 years. :(

Pros:

doesn't smell bad
cheap
magical powers

Cons:

burns eyes if you get it too close
bleaches clothing

This product combined with the other acne.org products is the only thing that has ever cleared my skin completely. I'ts honestly the best out there.

Pros:

Overall, good stuff. It cleared me up after consistent use.

Cons:

The effects did diminish over time.

I use this a more of a spot treatment now. It worked fine for awhile, but I suspect that my body started to get use to it. But, I would highly reccomend the treatment to anyone suffering from acne.

Pros:

Works fast and literally kills pimples in their tracks.

Cons:

none yet

I have been struggling with cystic acne for years - I always seemed to get 1-2 really bad (scarring) pimples a month and ever since I started a 2x face washing regimen and use acne.org benzoyl Peroxide I am sure I will never have another scarring pimple in my lifetime. I only wish I could have found this stuff sooner. I have 3 scars that are probably permanent - unless acne.org comes up with some crazy cool solution for that too. I LOVE ACNE.ORG's Benzoyl Peroxide Gel!!! Highly recommend!

Pros:

Clears acne better than anything else I've ever tried - & I've tried almost everything!

Cons:

bleaches some fabrics, but is worth it to me for clear skin

This is at least my 3rd review of this product. I've used Acne.org's products for more than a year - I've lost track, but I even think it's nearing 2 years - & I love it even more today! I'm to the point now where I only have to use 1 full squirt twice a day to keep my skin perfectly clear & smooth. There's no residue, no unpleasant smell. Yes, it will bleach some fabrics - it is benzoyl peroxide, after all - but after battling moderately severe acne for close to 20 years, it's worth it to me to have clear skin. I love, love, LOVE these products & would never use anything else!

Pros:

Great acne treatment
Much better value than Neutrogena On-The-Spot

Cons:

Some redness (gets better with time)
Dry skin if not using a moisturizer

I highly recommend the acne.org BP treatment. I use it nightly after washing my face with cetaphil's gentle cleanser, and apply the acne.org aha+ product once the BP is dry. This combination has worked so well for me. I used accutane years ago and my acne was gone for a couple of years, but it began creeping back eventually, and I stumbled upon this website while looking for possible solutions to my recurring problem. Initially I just used the BP nightly (follow the directions about giving your skin some time to get used to the fully recommended amount) and it alone worked very well. I never do anything in the morning besides wash and moisturize (use SPF if using BP!), because I don't like the idea of going through the day with anything besides moisturizer on my face (the BP will certainly bleach any clothing it comes in contact with). I decided to try the AHA+ also, and it really helped my skin take that one final step from really good to great. Try this product for a couple weeks and then try the AHA+ too- you'll be glad you did!

Pros:

Completely eliminated large cysts.
Dramatically decreased redness.
Went from a face full of blemishes to almost completely clear.
Works better than prescriptions I tried.

Cons:

Does not do anything for acne marks, but I never expected it to.
Will make your skin dry and flaky if not used to BP.

Unhappy with everything else including prescriptions, facial cleansers, chemical peels, and going au natural, I desperately tried the full regimen and vowed to wait a few months before I could review it honestly. Let me tell you I am completely suprised and happy to report a positive review! I had used Benzyl Peroxide before with a dermatlogist but never had results like this. I have never had this type of improvement with ANY presciption regimes my dermatologist had me on! Upon beginning the full regime, my face instantly got less red and I could see dramatic improvement in blemishes, getting clearer everyday. After maybe a month, some new blemishes began to appear but thankfully acne.org warns that this is normal and simply purging, so I continued and I am definitely glad I did! It's now been about four months and my face is practically clear. It completely eliminated huge cysts and reallly minimized the amount of breakouts and redness. Now it won't do anything for post-acne marks, but it really controlled my face like nothing I have tried before. To go from my almost SEVERE type acne to only, literally, a couple of pimples is completely amazing!! I do the complete regimen at night and in the mornings only wash my face with a simple sulfur/salcylic acid soap (and sometimes some moisturizing like Aloe Vera). I have started to apply the regimen to my chest and it has cleared that up too. If your face is not used to benzyl peroxide, you will get dry and peel, but that is why moisturizers exist. You will probably get an increase in blemishes about 2-4 weeks in, but don't give up! If you have light/moderate acne, I really have a hard time seeing how this could not completely clear your face entirely. If you have moderate to severe like I do, it should either clear up your face enirely or at least maintain it very well. Of course everyone's body is different, but I HIGHLY recommend the acne.org regimen to at least try.

Pros:

-Spreads very evenly and smoothly with no residue or balling up/clumping!
-Clear skin
-Great value
-Not drying if used with a good moisturizer.
-Fast shipping

Cons:

None so far. Only been using this particular BP for about a week, but have been using 2.5 BP for over 4 months.

I have moderate to harsh acne, getting cysts now and again...This bottle prevents and gets rid of existing acne, esp. when I use it with the AHA from acne.org. I am in love!

Pros:

I get acne along my chin and jaw very badly. I use the Acne.org Benzoyl Peroxide as a spot treatment and could see results immediately. I do recommend using a small amount as it can irritate your skin. It works wonders for me! I have used Clean & Clear and other name brand items for months at a time and this product cleared up my skin within the first week!!

Cons:

My skin did burn with the initial use but the second time using it, I could tell my skin had adapted to it.

Use lightly and great for spot treatments.

Pros:

Cleared up my skin pretty quick. Best stuff I've ever used!

Cons:

More sensitive to the sun. Compared with other products it's a good deal, but after shipping and tax it's still a little pricey.

I noticed a difference in just a couple weeks. I've been using it for about 6 weeks now and my face has stopped producing new pimples. I don't think I've had a new zit for a few weeks now. The black heads on my nose are smaller too. I have to admit I haven't been following the regimen everyday. Many days I only do it once, but it still is working great for me.
