Pros:

I am a 24 year old guy who never had more than one pimple at a time my whole life. Then when I was about 22 I start messing with proactive to try and have perfect skin. It messed my face up so bad, and since then I tried mad products and it just made my face worse. I finally tried the regimen, and Ive been using it for about 3 weeks and it actually is working.

3 weeks and im liking it, hopefully it keeps showing results

Pros:

well absorbed

Cons:

made my skin a bit red..but this is BP.

Due to my super sensitive skin I use this really lightly on my jaw line as I have moderate acne. (even though Dan's regime suggested a more generous amount) It worked better than Spectro's BP and I really like this product. Made my acne die down a lot more. And I sometimes use this as a spot treatment and it gets rid of my acne within 2 days max., which is great! Even though the shipping fee was a bit of a bummer I still think it was worth the purchase.

Pros:

Goes on clear. Easy pump dispenser for larger bottle. Works wonders.

Cons:

Stinks a little and bleaches clothing.

I have (had )mild acne with the occassional cystic zit here and there. I have been using this product for 8 months now and during the first 2 weeks it cleared up my face so well and is stayed clear for another 2 weeks after that. After the 4th or 5th my face started breaking out again. I wasn't expecting this and got very discouraged but kept with it. My face is flawless now. It's a very slow process and expect a few set backs along the way. I don't need to use much of the benzoyl peroxide anymore to keep my face clear. Acne is frustrating but have faith in this prodcut.

Pros:

Works a lot better than other products

Cons:

Drying, expensive (with shipping), the whole regimen takes a good half hour out of my morning and evening, skin still very oily and not 100% clear

I've been on Dan's Regimen for almost a year now and I have to say it's the best thing i've used...and I've used everything besides accutane. It took a few months to start seeing results, you just have to wait it out. Also, my acne still isn't 100% clear, I still get breakouts here and there but they're much smaller and less frequent than before. At first, the BP was incredibly drying, even when using jojoba oil mixed in with my moisturizer. I finally found people on here using jojoba oil in between washing face and BP as kind of a exfoliation massage and, boy, it works wonders! Also, i've been experiencing more frequent breakouts on my forehead, a place where I never really got acne before the regimen. Not sure how to fix that. The only big downside is that the regimen takes a lot longer than i'd like (about 30 mins in the AM, 30 in PM), but you have to do what you have to do!

Pros:

- gel based
- not white film
- works fast
- last a very long time
- very cheap
- actually works!!

Cons:

- at first it can be a bit drying and irritating
- online only

This stuff really works, I started with the on the spot with i thought worked pretty well and it seemed to clear me up somewhat. Though when i bought this BP i am hooked and it made the on the spot seem so horrible and drying not to mention the white film it would leave behind. This bottle will last a veryyy long time and i am on my second one=] Though i did go through a tough time with this. At first it seem to work great, but after a few weeks my skin seemed to get allergic to it. I was so upset that the only thing that worked for me, i wouldnt be able to use it anymore. I stopped using it for a couple of weeks and noticed how my acne was coming back. Though every time i tried to use it my skin would become very very red and it would swell up and get itchy and just horrible. I finally decided i would rather be swollen and red, anything but have acne again, so i decided to change my moisturizer to see if that would help. To my surprise i was right, the cetephil was too strong and horrible, and complex 15 although i love for under my makeup was just not enough. I received carley's midnight moisturizer for acne prone skin as a sample when i bought the scrub and it Worked!! I love that moisturizer with this BP, i only use it at night so that im able to slather i mean realllllly pack it on a little too much but better safe than sorry...lol.. Well i hope this will help someone out, if they are having any trouble with this or any BP.

Pros:

- Clears Acne, pretty fast. About 60% gone in 1 week.

Cons:

- BP is full of chemicals that will hurt you in the long run.

I used it but I just couldn't keep going because BP is dangerous to our skin. Did you know that it's banned in some countries because it's carcinogenic? Try something more natural please, always be sure to read the ingredients in products. Avoid Parabens!! Good luck (:

Pros:

So far, it's been working!
You get a lot for your money
Doesn't dry out my skin

Cons:

Sometimes stings my eyes.

I've been using this for about a month now, and I must say I'm happy with it. I bought the 8 oz tube, just in case it didn't work. I use it twice a day (along with AHA 12% Glycolic Acid and Ambi Even and Clear Fade cream), and I can already see a difference. The condition of my skin is so much better. I had a couple of very tiny pimples that disappear after a day or so, but that's it. Right now, it doesn't dry out my skin, but it's getting colder soon, so we'll see. But so far, I'm really happy with it. I didn't check, but it would be great if Dan had a travel version of his products, maybe a 2 or 4 oz. tube!

Pros:

- See results shortly after first use.
- More effective than anything you can buy in the drug store (in my experience).
- Really works for under-the-skin breakouts.

Cons:

- Makes my sensitive skin sting, itch, peel and turn red, which is really hard to cover up with makeup.
- Expensive for Canadian customers.
- Takes a while to dry, and while waiting you can't lay down on a pillow or get close to your significant other for fear of it rubbing off onto sheets/them.

I bought the entire skin care system from Acne.org, and I have to say that I am pretty satisfied overall. I have very sensitive skin, and although it does make my skin sting, red and itchy, I just deal with it to get the amazing results. Make sure you use the products exactly as described on the bottles or it will not work properly. Also, don't skip any treatments as your acne will come back fairly quickly if you do. I missed one treatment and broke out all over again. It's been over a week now and the products are finally starting to get rid of my new breakout slowly but surely. I definitely recommend this to anyone who has tried Neutrogena, Clearasil, etc. with crappy results.

Pros:

Cleared up skin significantly
Seems to be lightening up my scars

Cons:

Takes a couple weeks to work. Dried up my pimples, which was awesome, but they looked crusty and moisturizer didn't really work for that.

I'm 18 years old and I've been suffering with acne for like, 6 years. It's horrible. I hated looking in the mirror cause I was so ashamed at how I looked, but this product has helped my confidence level so much. In the beginning, it made my skin look crusty and nothing took that away, but about 2-3 weeks later, all those pimples (and there were a lot) went away. My skin looks way better than before and I'm feeling more confident. I also have a lot of scars from previous acne and it seems to be lightening those up too which I'm SUPER excited about. And my skin is very stubborn. It doesn't work with anything. I've tried almost every product out there. This is the first one that's really working for me. I would definitely recommend this product.
