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

I bought this to get rid of a few small occasional pimples. I figured this product would do a great job since this product has great reviews and the guy who runs the website made it. However, this crap gave me horrible, painful cystic acne. I stopped using it and my acne went away, but I still have marks from this crap. Just sayin.

i would never us it again.

Was diligent about the regimen, but this actually GAVE me acne on my jawline b/c of drying. Never had jawline acne until using this product and now I can't get rid of it. Moisturized heavily using jojoba oil, which is great, but beware.

Didnt work for me. Actually made skin worse, and I stayed on the regimn for a month. Burnt my skin and made it more sensitive and really red. It felt like a layer of my skin had been pelled off after i used it and made me look older.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

BP at first was making my face red, itchy and it stung. Then I started getting dizzy spells and lightheadedness (although at the time I didn't think it could possibly be the BP). Then I got a MAJOR pounding headache around my eyes. I couldn't get up to get some water without feeling like I was going to throw up. Then I got itchy ALL over my body! I thought I had bed bugs or body lice or I was going crazy. I thought maybe I had iron deficiency. It turns out all of this was because I'm so sensitive to BP! I can't use it! So dissapointing! I was never allergic to it before! I wish Dan would make a huge tube of something for people who are allergic to BP. *hint* Dan!

I went a head and bought the treatment thinking it would dry up the pimples, but after using it for a month my skin was peeling horrendously on both sides of my cheeks, because of the strong bp; and i got dark dried patches on each side. Thinking those dark dry spots would good away, i continued using the bp but the dry patches left(a lot) of small specs of dark reddish scars which i did not have before starting the regimen now i have to deal with the scars how great!

If You want a CHEAP BP that actually works go to rite aid and get the white bottle that says acne gel, It says rite aid on it as well. That stuff works amazingly.!!

Hi, I have light brownish skin. I was getting desperate to clear my face. I have tried every prescription from my dermatologist, and nothing had ever worked. I stumbled across this site and choose to use the kit from acne.org. I used it exactly how he instructs us for 3 whole months. The first month, I had the worse acne of my life. The breakouts and flare ups were beyond tolerable. By the end of the third month, I have developed horrible scars and hyper pigmentation on my cheeks from where the cystic acne is. I am not sure if this works on Caucasian skin, but it certainly did not work for me. My face looks like a bloody hell right now, which is the sole result of this acne.org kit. I am writing this review because I do not want others to experience what has happened to me. I followed the procedure religiously and now I am left with indents all over my cheeks. PLEASE PLEASE read this review before purchasing. If you still think that the product will work for you, be my guest and purchase it. I went back to my dermatologist and he said putting on that much benzoyl peroxide, as directed, lead to my face scarring. Now, I am using Retin A Micro to help alleviate my scars and hopefully in the next couple of months my scars will diminish.

I have very sensitive skin, but NOTHING I have ever used has messed up my skin this much (and trust me I have tried almost everything). I was on Proactiv before I started using this and I don't know why it gets such a bad reputation cause it cleared me up a lot but I still had about 5 pimples on my forehead so I switched hoping I would get completely clear, but this did the complete opposite. My acne is way worse then it was before I started using Proactiv, and not only that, my chin and under my nose is extremely dry and its like peeling. I would NOT recommend this to anyone and I don't know why it has such good ratings cause I would have been better off just using soap and water. And it looks cheap and works worse then the cheapest OTC products but its more expensive then most things I've tried, I got the 2-4 month big kit or whatever and it came out to $80 with shipping and handling. So I say don't even waste your time and money with this stuff its some of the worst stuff out there (well for me it is). I don't know why I trusted Dan Kern, hes not a doctor or a famous skin care person, hes just a normal person. I never even heard of him before this stuff, I shouldn't have trusted him :/
