Acne.org : Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%)

I have had acne ever since the age of 12. I am now 18 going on 19 & it is pretty severe on my cheeks & chin. I started using the regimen in September & its now November. I have seen drastic changes in the active acne I used to have before using the product. I used to have bumps, cysts, and whiteheads all across my cheeks and chin area, but now they just look like inflamed, red scars for the most part. I definelty have far less active acne, but I'll still get a whitehead or a cyst around my chin area every couple of days, which probably has to do with hormones and diet (even though I'm vegan & eat pretty healthy). I'm going to experiment with eliminating things from my diet and stay on the regimen a little longer, then im going to work on getting rid of the hyperpigmented scars.

I had used Proactiv for years to help with my mild acne. It cleared my face up for a while but then my acne had returned. A couple of times I had tried to stop using proactiv and my face would FREAK OUT and I would get the worst breakouts of my life. I was truly worried my skin was so dependent of the product that I'd never be able to stop using it. I finally switched to acne.org and it has changed my life. Within the first week I already saw awesome results. I have now been using it for about 5 months and I couldn't be happier!!! My skin has never been so clear and I MIGHT get 1 pimple a month. I am extremely satisfied with this product. I'm not a huge fan of the moisturizer so I use cera ve lotion instead. It works perfectly to moisturize my skin especially since the benzoyl peroxide dries out my skin pretty bad. I highly recommend this product!!!

Well, actually I have mild acnee : whiteheads and blackheads on my forhead and chin and some cystic acnee pimples on my cheeks. When I started using the BP 5% (about the 2nd week) my acnee started to fade away, I was really happy But then after couple of weeks I started purging and new acnee appears on my skin especially on my jawline (thus I hadn't such issue before BP) I ve been using BP for 2 months now and I still didn't notice any positive changes although Im moisturizing well What do you advise me ?

I was diagnosed with PCOS April 2016 and my skin was a disaster. I moved to Hawaii and was desperate to go makeup free so I tried the regiment because I'd tried everything else. This stuff is a lifesaver! I can not go with just using it every other day and very very very rarely have a breakout. I'll never be without this!

My skin has been very bad for years now, I probably have been suffering for 4 years. I've tried mostly anything you can think of, Minocycline, Retin-A, birth control, doxycycline, pro-active and a lot of over the counter as well as organic remedies. Sadly nothing worked for me except for Aczone which my insurance discontinued and now The regimen. Thank god I used the regimen because there would be about 20 pimples on my face at once along with post acne marks. The thing with the regimen is it took a while to work, for me it took 7 months and before it worked it got reallllllly ugly and bad. I was losing so much hope and getting so upset but I'm so happy I never stopped. I knew a lot of people said it gets worse before it gets better but wow I didn't expect it to get this worse and for that long. It took a really long time for my skin to get better and it made my skin about 95% worse. Not only with the pimples but the dryness peeling and irritation. My skin is so sensitive but it was just terribleee. I almost stopped so many times but then after a while I stopped getting pimples finally !!! 7 months of irritation burning dryness peeling pimples that multiples and then I finally seen a difference no more pimples!! But moral of the story no matter how bad it is STICK IN THERE! I'm telling you you won't regret it. Now I finished the whole bottle and waiting for the new shipment to come in and I'm already getting pimples again which I haven't since the treatment started working besides around my period time which I've always gotten. But anyway this definitely works. By the way u only need the treatment the moisturizer is nasty and the cleaner is useless I use cetaphil instead. The regimen definitely changed my life now I just gotta focus on getting rid of the post acne marks.

ONLY thing in my whole life that actually cured and treated my moderate/severe acne! #lifesaver p.s. the first few months when your using it ur acne will get worse before it gets better.. u just have to be patient!

I thought I was treating my acne, but my dehydrated, flaky skin (considered normal by The Regimen, especially in the early stages) couldn't heal or protect itself properly. I went through a cycle of inflamed, irritated pimples made worse by overdosing on benzoyl peroxide and skin that formed pitted scars more easily. I think it's really irresponsible of Dan and acne.org to support basically overdosing this medication and ignoring side effects like flaky, red, damaged skin that can quite frankly, end up making many people's acne worse and skin scarred. When I switched to a regimen of gently washing my skin, using a mild AHA exfoliant and moisturizing well so that my skin felt comfortable, rather than tight, dry or red, my acne healed. What dan proposes - the large amount of bp - is essentially an overdose of a substance that really should be used in a thin layer on top of skin and with copious amounts of moisturizer. I use it over vaseline sometimes. Do yourself a favor and use benzoyl peroxide as dermatologists direct it to be used - in small quantities, applied in a thin layer and be conscientious of your skin care by using a mild cleanser, exfoliating, and moisturizing as your base steps. Then add in bp on top of a moisturizer and decrease the amount you use once you stop breaking out.

i love this stuff! it always clears up my skin :)) couldn't be happier, nothing else has made my skin this clear

I've used the acne regimen kit awhile back before, but stopped once I ran out of cleanser. I didn't have too many breakouts, mostly hormonal & a lot of hyperpigmentation & made my skin look worse than what it really was. I love skincare & love taking care of my skin but for some reason my skin was not loving me back. I would have so much texture and whiteheads, stubborn pimples. I've tried soo many things with no results & it just did not want to work. I still had benzoyl peroxide left, so I decided to use it again. I've been using it for about a week and my face is significantly more smooth! When I wash my face, I don't feel anymore texture & it makes me so happy! I had some breakouts on my cheek and they were gone in about 3 days & I have no active breakouts. This benzoyl peroxide is truly amazing :) I ordered the kit again, this time with AHA, so I'll see how that goes!

Suddenly suffered from hormonal cystic acne that terribly painful and prone since last September 2016. I did use proactiv solutions but I dont know why it doesn't seem to work on my skin anymore (especially their + products. So one day I browsed youtube and end up with acneorg's reviews. It took me a month before I decided to buy it because I am kind of sceptical since it also contains 2.5% BP just like proactiv. But finally I tell myself, what I got to loose, my skin is already on it's terrible condition anyway. (moreover, it's cheaper that proactive!) So here I am, entering the 5th week using the regimen. The only thing I could say is, my skin gets better and better. Yes, now I got super dry and flakey skin (I am normally oily skin), but the texture of my face, amazing. BP literally controls my skin, especially acne. Well, still got new acnes, but really small and not RED just like I had one before. Thanks for once again putting my self confidence back. Look forward for the better improvement ahead :)
