Do Not Buy

DO NOT BUY! I have been using the product for a while and this is my 3rd time buying, first two times i have received great results, however, this last batch received in June feels like i am going backwards, i believe they have changed the ingredients... this one is now bleaching my bedding to the point i have to bin them, the previous batches didn’t.  DO NOT BUY - the company will not give me a refund either - returning the product from Uk to Us will probably cost me more money and time! Which it isn’t worth.

stay away!
I've been using this product for about 3 weeks now and my face is so red, dry and my face looks like a wrinkled paper. Some of my acne went away but new came. It left so many red patches and red marks it's INSANE! Even the smallest pimples left a bright red mark that will take forever to fade. My existing marks from before became even worse. I am so scared to stop because many people says it comes back worse. My skin texture is so bad and my skin tone is uneven. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE!

You need to alternate days. 2 days on...2 days off. You did not start slow enough. This happened to me too. It's been 2 months using the kit and my skin has never looked this good.

Horrible

Cons:

Rashes
Super noticeable redness
Continuous breakouts

I've been using the product for over two months, and for the first 3 weeks, my skin was clearing up, but then suddenly a huge breakout occurred. I started using neutrogena cream face wash, which cleared a lot of my acne, then I went back to the regimen. after 4 more weeks, I've been having rashes and my eyes are swollen are dry and my skin looks horrible, I've been skipping school because of how depressed I am and I have seriously considered suicide because of my skin. Please avoid using this product and go to a dermatologist if you don't want to take chances.

Pros:

none, none, and none

Cons:

took a long time to apply
dried out my skin
i had severe acne after the first month of use

i'm really glad that it has helped so many, however, i guess my skin does not take benzoyl peroxide well. i don't have sensitive skin either. i used to the whole acne.org regimen and i have never had such low self confidence as when i was on this regimen. i started out with moderate acne and heard so many glowing reviews i knew i had to try it. i, like most everyone with acne, have tried every product under the sun. so, thinking it couldn't hurt to try, i spent however much money and placed my order. after a couple weeks everyone was commenting on how bad my skin looked. but everyone on acne.org told me that's how it starts and if i just kept with it, my skin will get better...it's just getting used to the BP. i should've trusted my gut instinct though. i used the regimen exactly as stated and started with the bp little by little, applying it thoroughly and gently, and used to for almost a year. anyways, almost 3 years later and i'm still left with horrible scars. so, if it's working for you, congrats! but if you feel like it's making you're acne worse, please, please, please discontinue use. it's not worth it. rating = 0

Burnt my face

I only used it for a week and it burnt my skin. Now I’m dealing with unnecessary hyperpigmentation. I don’t recommend.

Did they change the formulation?

I used these products over many years but after ordering a new BP treatment in September, I get a horrible red rash after a few hours of putting it on my face.  Doesn't make sense.   Wonder what's causing this.

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.

Awful Experience

Firstly some background information;

-started BP when 14 years old April of 2018

-had acne since 10-11years old (quite moderate)

-female

So last year, I became very frustrated with acne and every single night I was looking at 'cures' for it. I then came across Acne.org. I read all the amazing reviews and was very convinced. Since it is pretty pricey and I also live in the EU, it was super pricey, maybe over 120 euros. At first, it helped my smaller pimples and body acne. In month 1, for about 1 week my skin looked pretty good but it slowly then went worse. I read on this site that it's normal, and you should wait a few more months and everyone swore that you would get results. During summer my skin went to the worst point it had ever been. Before I never scarred but the packet of all the products made me prone to scarring, so every single simple left a scar, still to do this day. It was honestly an awful situation and keep in mind, I kept ordering since I believed that it would take time for effect. So I kept spending money, more every single time as the site said to add more products, and the worse it got. It was horrible, every morning 5 new big pimples and painful ones too. So, I just stopped. About 5 months after, I started Accutane (still on it) and its very effective).

I just want to say, it's not a guarantee this will work for you. You can read all the delightful comments and reviews but don't expect anything. Since acne.org, the website and webshop are linked its mostly very biased. And make sure you understand that its a risk buying these things.

Made my acne many times worse. Honestly destroyed my confidence. I think about it everyday. Using the product was the worst decision I've ever made

You probably used it very wrong, you need to follow the instructions (remedy) or you are probably allergic
