Not happy with this product
I can’t believe how disappointed I am in this product. I used it 4 years ago and it worked wonders on my skin. I bought this product 3 months ago and it has made my skin worse than it was before, I don’t know why he changed the moisturiser. It just sits on the skin and doesn’t absorb. I’m disappointed that it has made my skin worse I won’t be purchasing his products again.

Hang in there. The product is great and actually works very well just as you shared. However, my skin just like yours, got worst but then after all that extended purging acne stage it got better and more looks amazing 👏. I'm glad I stuck with it even through that more difficult period. I hope your skin gets better soon. ✨️ hang in there ❤️ love.

I've always bought this but not anymore

On August 2020 I bought this as I always have as this is the only 2.5%  benzoyl peroxide that I can find but this year they must have changed their formulation for a cheaper alternative or I must have gotten a defective one because when I used it, it burned my face really bad. I thought I probably just need to put moisturizer first but it didn't help. My face turned red the next day and very itchy. It was like this for two days, it was like a chemical burn. I hope you read this and bring back the previous formulation. Thanks!

Burnt my face

I only used it for a week and it burnt my skin. Now I’m dealing with unnecessary hyperpigmentation. I don’t recommend.

would NOT recommend

I first started using this regimen in 2016 and it got rid of all my acne, this was the first product that actually worked. I don’t have acne anymore but I would get the occasional pimple or two so I decided to purchase this regimen again ( worst mistake of my life). i’ve been using this product for a month now and my skin is horrible, I went from clear skin to horrible painful acne from using this product. I have never had this type of acne before it feels like cystic acne now and my skin was perfectly fine before I started using this. They must have changed the formula or added new things to this regimen because it is not the same and it also bleached my pillow cases from grey to orange. I do not recommend buying this, it will damage your skin and cause painful acne.

I love this product and it has completely cleared my skin. I’m just curious as to why you used it if your skin was fine. This product is very strong so I wouldn’t even recommend for light acne.

Do Not Buy

DO NOT BUY! I have been using the product for a while and this is my 3rd time buying, first two times i have received great results, however, this last batch received in June feels like i am going backwards, i believe they have changed the ingredients... this one is now bleaching my bedding to the point i have to bin them, the previous batches didn’t.  DO NOT BUY - the company will not give me a refund either - returning the product from Uk to Us will probably cost me more money and time! Which it isn’t worth.

Did they change the formulation?

I used these products over many years but after ordering a new BP treatment in September, I get a horrible red rash after a few hours of putting it on my face.  Doesn't make sense.   Wonder what's causing this.

2.5% doesn't work for me, need 10%

I switched from using 10% for years believing this would be gentler on my skin. Boy was I wrong. I am a 50 year old male with cystic acne on my nose and chin. It was well under control using 10%.  Took about a week of using this for it to recur. After a month it was horrible. Took about a week or 2 using the 10% again to get it back under control. 2.5% isn't enough for everyone.

Awful Experience

Firstly some background information;

-started BP when 14 years old April of 2018

-had acne since 10-11years old (quite moderate)

-female

So last year, I became very frustrated with acne and every single night I was looking at 'cures' for it. I then came across Acne.org. I read all the amazing reviews and was very convinced. Since it is pretty pricey and I also live in the EU, it was super pricey, maybe over 120 euros. At first, it helped my smaller pimples and body acne. In month 1, for about 1 week my skin looked pretty good but it slowly then went worse. I read on this site that it's normal, and you should wait a few more months and everyone swore that you would get results. During summer my skin went to the worst point it had ever been. Before I never scarred but the packet of all the products made me prone to scarring, so every single simple left a scar, still to do this day. It was honestly an awful situation and keep in mind, I kept ordering since I believed that it would take time for effect. So I kept spending money, more every single time as the site said to add more products, and the worse it got. It was horrible, every morning 5 new big pimples and painful ones too. So, I just stopped. About 5 months after, I started Accutane (still on it) and its very effective).

I just want to say, it's not a guarantee this will work for you. You can read all the delightful comments and reviews but don't expect anything. Since acne.org, the website and webshop are linked its mostly very biased. And make sure you understand that its a risk buying these things.

Made my acne waaay worse.
Made my acne many times worse. Honestly destroyed my confidence. I think about it everyday. Using the product was the worst decision I've ever made

You probably used it very wrong, you need to follow the instructions (remedy) or you are probably allergic

ANYONE WITH STUBBORN ACNE&OILY SKIN, DONT BUY THIS!
I heard many good reviews about this stuff so I immediately purchased the regimen. I used this for 3 months non stop and it was the worst thing I have bought for my skin and acne. And now my face harvested more painful acne than what I started with. Plus it even made my skin even more sensitive to anything I put in my face, especially in my eye lids which now hurts. Don't invest in this you will waste your time and money. Hence why I went back to original skin routine with my clearasil 12 facial scrub and MY GOODNESS IT WORKS LIKE WONDERS. It helps with anyone with stubborn acne, it's afforable and it's not harsh. In every 12 hours you use this, you will see the size of your acne scars and appearance decreasing. And of course moisturise with nevia facial cream at day time and at night use bio oil to moisturise&to help heal scarrings. Hope this helps.

Maybe you are allergic to the benzoyl Peroxide because it works amazing for me . Do not convince people that it’s horrible because it failed with you.for those reading Give it a try and actually use the products with consistency. My face was horrible with stubborn acne and I’m oily as hell but it worked. Also with horrible hyperpigmentation. So please give it a try.

Why on earth are you telling people not to buy this just because it didn't work for YOU?? Jesus Christ.
