Amazing

I am 29 years old, and have lived with moderate acne since I was a preteen. Through years of trial and error like most acne-sufferers, I have experimented with many products, spent countless hours doing research, etc etc etc, and still never found a "cure." My skin is oily with dry patches, slightly sensitive, and finicky to trying new things. I have ALWAYS known about benzoyl peroxide but was afraid to try it because I was concerned about purging or dealing with extremely dry skin throughout the process. When I finally took the plunge and ordered this product, I read the instructions thoroughly and followed them precisely. The key with this product is to start slow or else your skin will react negatively (flaky, dry, sensitive skin) ...So, the first week I only applied a pea-size amount to my entire face, 2x pea-size the 2nd week, and so on. I also apply my oil serum FIRST and I have not ran into any issues with dry skin! I think if you just go balls to the wall and immediately lather your face in this stuff, you will regret it! I have used this product for a month so far (I usually only use at night, but sometimes morning + night with no problems) and my skin has completely changed! Not only are the breakouts gone, but my entire face feels less congested overall! My skin is bright, glowing, and baby soft. I am in love! I wish I didnt wait so long, but I cant imagine I will ever stop using this product.

It WORKS for my adult acne

I never write reviews, but this stuff is legit. I am 36 and have had acne all my life. As an adult, it has just been little flesh colored bumps all over my face. No cystic acne, just bumps all over my face that I was frequently asked if I had a rash. It's been mortifying and a huge hit to my self esteem. I have tried everything. $200 products, prescriptions, the works. None of that stuff ever worked. I use this along with the cleanser and my skin has never been better. It is one of the absolute cheapest product regimens I've used, and now I swear by it and recommend it to everyone!!!

BEST HEALING CREAM

OMG, I could cry (tears of happiness) talking about the Benzoyl Peroxide. Starting off with a small portion as the rules state was the best thing I did. It has a bit of a sting but once the skin is used to it, this is after a week it becomes a pleasure to have in your skin care routine. It dry's out all the impurities by week 3 my skin had no pimple. Happiness, I recommended it for my sister when her skin had a wild break out, under 4weeks her skin had gone back to normal. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

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.

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.
