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

This product delivers on its promises! I was a Proactiv user for a while, and had good results, but ultimately stopped because it was too expensive. I stumbled on this product looking for something during a *horrible* breakout. It's very much like the Proactive lotion, except cheaper and more effective. When I first used it, it did start burning and made my skin feel itchy. But over the next few applications that feeling went away. And, a good moisturizer is needed as it will dry your skin. (My skin is oily so it's not too bad.) Using an alpha hydroxy cream has also helped. I've also been careful with fabrics as BP tends to bleach them. I saw few results immediately; it took about two weeks for my face to slowly clear up. I've developed my own regimen based on Daniel's and now my skin is the best it's looked in years! I think overall this is a great product.

This thing saved my skin. For best results follow, Dan's instructions. I had these consistent breakouts in between my eyebrows (I looked like I had a unibrow) and on my forehead that would never go away no matter what I did. I was so annoyed that I decided to stick religiously to Dan's regimen with this thing (I used cetaphil cleanser and Neutrogena's combination skin moisturizer instead and it worked fine. Maybe when that runs out, I'll get his stuff). It went away and never came back even when I relaxed the regimen a little. Admittedly when I got lazy, I'd get a breakout or two if I hadn't applied the treatment in awhile, but that was to be expected. But my skin held out for a surprising amount of time before breakouts started coming back. So bottom line. Stick to his regimen if you never want to see a breakout ever.

thank you, thank you. i use to have moderate, persistant acne. now spots are not an ongoing problem. just wish i got this stuff sooner.

I recently had a very severe breakout. I usually only have mild acne if I'm using benzoyl peroxide, but sometimes I would switch products with poor results. The last time I did this, my acne flared up badly, & nothing I tried in the past was able to control it. I tried going back to Proactiv, Differin, & all natural stuff, but nothing would work this time. My face hurt so badly that even smiling was painful. I didn't want to go anywhere, just because it was so physically painful to wash my face or put on makeup. Then I found this message board, & after reading the info on here for days, I finally decided to try the regimen. It took some time, & some getting used to, but I am completely clear now. Sometimes I will get a pimple or too, but it's because I haven't used it in a few days. This stuff is so much better than Proactiv. Just give it a try & a chance to work. I use everything they sell, and it's all amazing stuff. This is the clearest my skin has been in 15 years. Try it!

Try it!! I am 31 and have been dealing with moderate acne my whole life! Its only been 3 weeks and my skin has never looked better! IT WORKS!!

I have tried pretty much every available acne treatment, from everything I could find in stores to Proactiv, and this method works best for me. I use 5% BP as 2.5% is unfortunately not available in my country, and in the beginning I feared that this concentration would do more worse than good, but it didn't. The things you have to keep in mind when using this regime is that it does not work miracles. Don't expect your face to be 100% after the first day, but be consistent and hang on. It worked for me, and it WILL work for you! And dont let the messages about flaking and dry skin scare you off, this you can fix with a good, non-comedogene moisturiser. Stop looking at yourself in the mirror with disgust, and start improving your skin with this regime, because it works! Thanks to acne.org, you guys did an amazing job! You changed my life!

This is real hay maker of the regimen it's what gets the job done and it does it well. I found that for the first month of using it I wasn't leaving enough time in between steps for drying and therefore the regimen wasn't working to full potential. As soon as I was leaving ample time in between steps it started working like a charm. I believe the last time i had a pimple was 2 months ago! There are a few downsides to it but none seem to be much of an issue if I have an hour before I leave the house. Because I am an athlete one attribute I really loved was that it does not come out of your skin white when you sweat, this is especially important if you have to practice before school or work and wont have time to go through all the steps again. Bottom line it's wayyy cheaper than proactiv wayyy less harsh and wayyy more effective. Recommend to anyone and everyone.

Started the regiment in Nov., about 1.5 week in, had one of the worst break ever, big red cystic acne all over cheeks and chin, many reviews stated purging in the beginning, so i decided to stick with it. Skin was extremely dried out and flaking, the moisturizer in kit wasn't effective for me, tried it w/ jojoba oil, caused more breakout. At the time i switched to Clinique moisture surge, skin was still dry but flaking was under control. Seeing improvements about 2 months in, the initial breakout healed & left red marks, still got about 5-6 pimples here and there. Then used AHA at night with BP, alil improvements but still dry and feels rough compare to before. Skin look aging and dehydrated. Now use BP & Olay moisturizer at day only,Bliss groovy peel & toner at nite (skin softened alot!) along with thermaclear to stop any potential pimple. My skin was clear for 2wks, now have 2 pimples(due to my diet), Everyone's skin is diff, hope my review will help s

If BP helped got rid of red marks then this would be the ultimate treatment. it doesn't however, and people say that it makes red marks linger for longer as it releases free radicals on the skin. Red marks are very irritating too but not as bad as acne so This is a pretty good product. I use to use alot of it day and night now just at night time. It does discolour pillow cases and things btw and the most annoying part is your skin looks sort of worn out and aged from it as well as the really bad flakiness it causes. I can't even get rid of the flakiness with a moisturiser. Overall I give 2.5 % bp a 3.5 out of 5.

by far, this is one of the best acne treatments i have used! a few months ago, i started breaking out like crazy, to the point where i didn't want to leave the house. saw a dermatologist who prescribed me clindamycin gel, and differin .01%. long story short...happy to say that as of today, i am 99% clear with help from neither medications. came across this site one day and ordered dan's BP. started using it in the morning along with differin .03% at night for a little over a month and the results have been fabulous!!!
