I’m 46, acne since I was 13? This finally worked.

I’ve used this for a solid year now with the 1 2 3 regimen. It’s worked. Finally, after years and years of trying different products, treatments, facials, derma rolling, masks, peels, everything and anything. I literally finally finally finally can go without a thick layer of foundation and not want to cry. Thank you for being an honest company, I really appreciate it, my life has changed. Every other company and beauty treatment has been just delighted to take my money and spin me lies but this is the only thing that has actually worked. Thank you! Wish I found you years ago!

Amazing product

I never had acne until my mid twenties. 6-8 weeks after starting the regimen in February 2019 my acne was completely gone. I also use the AHA and my acne scarring and dark marks are nonexistent. I use the jojoba oil at night and wake up with GLOWING skin. 10/10 recommend for those suffering with mild - severe adult acne and hyperpigmentation. Works very well on rich skin tones.

By far best treatment i had

I tried many otc products and visited a couple of derma already. This is by far the most effective and consistent treatment i had. I have been using this since 2014 together with the Regimen facial wash, moisturizer and AHA. My acne has been controlled since then. Unlike proactiv which was only effective for the first 2yrs. So happy to came across this website and community. I even recommended this to my friends :)

Is your skin still dry?

If it's not broken...don't fix it.

The acne.org Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5 % has saved my skin!! I was using acne.org from November 2017 until January 2019. Why did I stop you may ask?...My skin was clear and flourishing but Instagram and popular skincare caught my eye. I switched to another skincare routine and it seemed to be going well (BIG MISTAKE!!!) until my acne started to creep back in on my jaw line, then on my cheeks. I used this different routine for 3 months and now I regret every moment of it..so...I went back to acne.org because I KNOW it works! The purge from using the acne.org Benzoyl Peroxide made my skin purge...It was horrific! However, I knew it was just doing it's job to unclog my pores from the previous skincare I was "trying out". 2 months later and my face is smooth again, I still have scars from my skin purging but the acne.org Benzoyl Peroxide is definitely getting me back to normal! Note to self and others out there...don't even change what is working in your favor!!

And yes, even though you may have been on the regimen before...starting over after a period of time means that you have to let your skin get used to it again....I know from experience. The purge was probably worse for me because I tried using too much when I went back on it in July. It takes time...start slow and YOU WILL see results.

Very good product. Have used it few times

November 11, 2019

im having the exact same experience!  Im about a month in to using the benzoyl peroxide again every other night and still breaking out--- how long did it take to get under control again? 

November 13, 2019

So I've been very careful with it after using too much of it in the beginning, so I reduced again and started very slow.

Week 1: Pea size amount at night only.

Week 2: Pea size amount in the morning and at night.

Week 3: Pea size in the morning, double the pea size at night.

Week 4: Repeat week 3.

Week 5: Two pea sizes in the morning, 2 at night.

Keep increasing from there - but listen to what your skin is telling you. If you start to get irritated one week, don't increase until your skin is used to it.

I would say it's taken about 3 - 4 months. My cheeks and forehead are super smooth but my temples didn't get the initial purge memo so they are doing that now. Some areas of your face might need time for the benzoyl peroxide to really draw out what it under the skin. It is helping that I use an ice cube to ice my face right before applying the benzoyl peroxide because I saw it helps to penetrate products deeper and gives a little exfoliation.

Be patient with it! You got this! Let me know how it goes!

Hey quick question! What moisturizer are you using? I’m having a hard time finding one that’s not breaking me out. Thanks!

8 years and going strong

I have everyone in my life using these products. I have a skin condition that makes me develop cystic acne yet I have dry skin. My routine is now: AM: cleanser or warm water, sometimes micellar water, BP. PM: cleanser, occassionally AHA (but I haven't used that in awhile, returning to it with my next order). I never need moisturizer (unheard of for a person with dry, flaky skin) but I do use some eye cream. I still get blackheads and will get a pimple if I get lazy with treatment.. but those take less effort to clear than cysts.  I also discovered pimple patches which also help when I feel certain spots starting to get clogged. I especially love the gentle cleanser.

2.5% doesn't work for me, need 10%

I switched from using 10% for years believing this would be gentler on my skin. Boy was I wrong. I am a 50 year old male with cystic acne on my nose and chin. It was well under control using 10%.  Took about a week of using this for it to recur. After a month it was horrible. Took about a week or 2 using the 10% again to get it back under control. 2.5% isn't enough for everyone.

Absolutely amazing

I've been using this product once daily for about a month now. Before I started this, I had moderate to severe acne. Today, I'm so happy to say I only got one new pimple, and it's not even nearly as deep in the skin as my acne used to be.



My skin is slowly recovering from the months of horrible acne I had, and I have a lot of hyperpigmentation. Now that my acne is lessening thanks to the acne.org benzoyl peroxide treatment, I've just purchased their AHA glycolic acid product as well. I hope that'll help with the hyperpigmentation for the time being before I begin adding other treatment(s) for it.



I'm going to also add my current skincare routine as a reference for what is personally helping my skin. As a note, I have mildly sensitive, dry skin.

AMAZING

I was so afraid of trying the three step treatment. I bought the the cleanser peroxide and moisturizer and when i got it I was so afraid. I still have yet to use the cleanser but What my personal routine is use a gentle skin cleanser like cetaphil then apply the benzoyl. YOU HAVE TO WORK UP TO A LARGE AMOUNT. I started out using tiny amounts of benzoyl once a day at night and now i use it morning and night and im up to a marble size amount. I use it like a lotion and then moisturize. Works wonders. Will be using the cleanser soon to clear up small red marks but all my dark spots and pimples are gone!!!

Proactive is nothing compared to this!

I've been using this treatment for 5 years now and the only thing i regret is spending my money on other products that never worked. My skin feels great!

Too much too soon

This is my first time using the acne.org products. I have suffered from adult acne and cystic acne with a lot of hyperpigmentation.  I have spent hundreds of dollars looking for the right skin products and countless of hours at the dermatologist and nothing seemed to work for me.  I have watched how these products transformed my daughter's skin and it gave me skin envy.

 Now when i ordered the products i had every intention to follow the instructions and wait for my turn for skin envy.  Anyway I started using too much of the benzoyl peroxide too early in my regimen an my skin was not happy, not happy at all.  It became very dry, flaky, and lots and lots of peeling.  I looked a mess! but i reduced my usage for a few days to weeks and added 6-8 drops of jojoba oil to the moisturizer every morning and evening which left me a lil greasy during the day but it was all worth it.  Now my skin is under control and I can really see the difference, fewer pimples and when one does show up it doesn't last long. I still have a ways to go but I'm will on my way and after using this product for a month I'm starting to see and feel the difference over all.

 My advise follow the instructions to the tee don't rush the process or it will take even longer.
