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

This product is a great BP to use with The Regimen. It is probably the most cost effective as it comes in such a large tub and lasts for a long time before having to buy again. I experienced dry, red skin for a week after starting to use this product, and after that I had some purging for about 3 weeks. After this I started to see some great results and I am happy to say I'm now clear aside from a few red marks which are fading. I use this before moisturising and after cleansing (The Regimen) in the morning and before bed. Compared with most store-bought BP products the cons of this in no way put me off the product. I love it.

I absolutely can't live without this item anymore. I've tried so many things and I am surprised! I would buy this for the rest of my life. I wish that I had purchased this sooner.

If you using this I think you should stop even though it might be working it's going to damage our skin in the future everyone try something natural...

If you break it down by cost per ounce, the price is excellent compared to other brands, even if you include the high shipping charges. Just be very sure you are going to use the entire bottle so you won't feel guilty about dropping so much money at once. I like this more than Neutrogena's On-the-Spot. The application is very smooth. The gel dries quickly on the skin and doesn't bead when I apply moisturizer over it. Because it is BP, it does dry the skin and cause quite a bit of flaking. Also, my skin is more sensitive to the sun. Using a good moisturizing sun screen helps to alleviate any discomfort. I use this once in the morning all over my face and neck, followed by an SPF 15. I don't use it at night any more because I just started tretinoin a month ago. It is gentle enough that I can use the two (at separate times) without any adverse side effects. It is not effective with my cystic acne, but it is very effective with surface blemishes and blackheads. It immediately helped me with oil control. It did take a couple of weeks to see results and for my skin to adjust. I no longer get blackheads or bumps around my nose, temples, or chin. There is a noticeably less acne (about half the originally amount) on my cheeks and along my jaw. After a year of consistent use, it has not completely rid me of acne, but it has greatly reduced it. For an OTC product, I think this gel worked wonderfully.

Cleared up my back acne which I have been fighting for years with every product on the market with little success. No acne product works for everyone, but I am so happy I tried. I still use it to prevent future breakouts and I have been acne-free on my back for the first time in several years!

works great for clearing up acne. i have used it for a little over a week and the difference is amazing. since starting the regimen, i have not had a new pimple form and my old ones have dried up and just the he annoying red marks are left- nothing that a little concealer won't help. try the product.

Excellent product. Much better than Neutrogena On-the-spot!

I normally use proactiv but ran out of the benz. repairing lotion now that I've been using the full ammount. I decided it was a good time to try the acne.org treatment after being on the site for a while. What a mistake. The residue leaves my skin feeling tight and it's hard not to pick and roll off the residue. I will be returning this product and adding an extra repairing lotion to my proactiv kit instead.

This didnt seem too bad the first few days, but nothing got any better either. The things I experienced were 1) extreme dryness of skin 2) VERY tedious to apply, takes a long time to soak in, and makes it almost impossible for a moisturizer to soak in on top 3) moisturizer (almost any moisturizer) would burn when applied over the BP 4) no clearing of skin, didnt really make it any worse either other than the drying, flaking, peeling, and redness 5) because of the drying, it was also impossible to wear any makeup without looking like an alligator 6)even after 3 months, nothing changed. I was religious - gentle 10 second wash, pat dry, 2 pumps treatment, moisturize twice a day. 7) upon quitting and switching to a less harsh treatment, at the very least my skin is no longer flaky, dry, and irritated. My acne is still not gone, but better than it was on Acne.org regimen. If you are interested, I have switched to Carley's clear and smooth, which seems to be working ok, but not completely clearing me yet. At lease it doesnt take long and isnt hurting my skin more.

This has made all the difference in my skin! Yes, when i started the regimen i experienced the terrible, flaky, dry effects of the BP but after tweaking Dans regimen slightly I made it work for me. Rather than using the 2 full pumps recommended, I find 1/2 to 1 pump to be sufficient enough. Pair this BP w/ a good moisturizer (i use the Equate Face Lotion from Wal-Mart) and you'll see an improvement w/ a little bit of dedication and lots of patience!!!
