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

I am disappointed to have to write a bad review. I've used this product for nearly four months now, but have had to stop altogether at this point as my face is worse than it has ever been. Everything started out great. I've historically suffered from moderate acne on my forehead, chin, and under my jaw line which gets very bad when stressed or hormonal fluctuation. After a particularly bad breakout that left a nasty scar, I tried this product and the regimen. I thought I had found the answer to my woes since it initially worked great! Within just a couple of weeks, I had no new breakouts and my scars were actually fading and any bumps I had were shrinking. Well, after two months I started to notice that I was getting new bumps in places that I had never really gotten them before, but they were small and were not coming to a head at all. This seemed better to me than having huge, pus-filled pimples, so I charged on with using the product. Unfortunately, the bumps just started to increase in numbers until my entire face is now covered with them everywhere this product has touched. I had been slathering it all over my face and halfway down my neck to ensure I covered any area where I had previously gotten pimples. I now have bumps everywhere on my face including in my eyebrows and behind my ears. I can't even believe how bad it is. I stopped using the product one week ago and every bump on my face is now growing and coming to a head. It's so upsetting, but it seems to be a process I need to go through in order to '˜cleanse' my skin from this product. I also just don't know what else to do but watch it happen. I'm washing my face twice daily with nothing but water at this point since I'm afraid to put anything on my face at all. I just hope I can get back to where I was before using this product at all and this new acne covered face is not permanent.

highly recommended, have tried many products & this one is by far the best

Dan's regimen is the only product to get my face infomercial clear. My skin cleared up faster than what it says on his "What to Expect" section and I never had purging. My skin became gradually clear each day, and I was using two pumps by the second week. The product takes a while to apply. I recommend putting on one pump first because it dries quickly. Then apply the second pump. If I glob it all on at one time it takes much longer to soak in. Then I wait 10-15 minutes. You'll feel the drying, but it helped expedite the process of clearing. Apparently the drying is helpful to the skin. Because the second step of applying BP took so long I tried Max Clarity which made some serious promises about not needing moisturizing and not purging but it was a fail for me. So I came back to what works. My skin is back to its radiate self in about a week. The product require a great moisturizing. Dan's moisturizing is the only one I find to not be a nuisance due to pilling. However, the moisturizing you need is so intense that it can cross the fine line between glowing and oily shine.

this treatment is amazing. I have tried sooooo many things and keep getting dissappointed. Topical: Differin, Ziana, Tazorac, Benzaclin, Aczone, Avar Oral: Trimethoprim, Doryx, Minocycline I was on Differin and a sodium sulfate gel with Solodyn and all it did after 3+ months was make my face super oily, have humongous pores with blackheads, huge cysts in my cheeks and jawline. I saw the BP treatment and thought what the heck I have nothing left to lose. My face dried overnight and after a week the large zits in my cheeks and jawline stopped coming and had almost completely vanished, my pores shrunk at least 5 times smaller than they were before and all the blackheads I had were completely gone. At first I had really dry dry skin to where it was super flakey but I would take dry skin over zitty, oily, huged pored face anyday. The moisturizer and AHA fixed that really well. I have never seen something work so fast and so productively in all the years that I have had acne:) amazinggggggggggggggggggg. seriously.

okay so i posted a review earlier and my skin had cleared up completely because of the BP. But i started to use Retin-A and forgot to put on the BP completely. i mean like for 3 weeks. I thought i didnt have to worry about acne as much but NO. On the 3rd week i had random pimples popping up which shocked the crap out of me. Moral of the story: use the BP- even if you add something new to your regimen because it is stronger at fighting acne than you think :-)

i tried this product for about a month now and has completey clear me! at first it didnt do much but then i took his advice and use the products recomend with the BP treatment,cetaphil products, and my skin look 10x better thank you dan so much! I am very happy with this product now my acne is being controlled which is what i wanted i dont have these huge break outs any more from stress, chocolate, or coffee. if anything i would recomend buying the treatment and the rest you can find at the store if you dont want to pay that much for the products. Good luck anybody suffering with acne I know how ugly it can make you feel but dont give up find something that works 4 yu i sure did :D

Nothing I have ever tried over 25 years has worked faster and more effectively for my mild/moderate acne than Dan's regimen, using Dan's products, specifically the BP 2.5% gel (I've tried pretty much every prescription and non-prescription treatment available). I couldn't recommend it more wholeheartedly. My advice is to follow the regimen as closely as you can, and read the "what to expect" section of Acne.org. It described my experience very accurately and kept me from panicking or giving up. Thank you Dan!

I am really happy with the effectiveness of this product. I was using doxycycline hyclate and differin together for about a year, but I hated always being sunburnt and having a red face so I decided to change my routine. I chose to buy this product because of the good reviews and the amount you get. I slowly reduced my dosage of doxycycline hyclate and differin. Now i'm completely off of that stuff and i'm taking this product along with 100mg of zinc. My redness and sunburn has gone away and now I can spend more time in the sun. :) get it!

It works REALLY WELL, but you may need to sacrifice your colorful pillowcases. :)

I am in love with this formulation! I've used BP before for my acne, but could never deal with the product during the day because most are a thick white, dry to a chalky film that almost seems to suds up if you try to put moisturizer over the top. Initially it dries out your skin but just stick with it as your skin adjusts. I still apply it morning and night and my skin is not dry or flaky at all like it was in the first couple of weeks. My breakouts are gone and my skin is the clearest it has been in over a decade! :) I actually have the pump top bottle of this product and it lasts a long time. :)
