Never use this product
In the beggining it worked really good. Then after a week of finally being confident i got the worst acne i have ever had in my life. I hate everyone who created this.

I used a steroid on my face for 13 days and when I stopped using it, I got soo many rash like pimples on my face. I was told to buy clear zit 10% benzoyl peroxide. Day 1 and it seems to have reduced the inflammation of some pimples. I'll give an update in a week but so far so good. I personally like the burning sensation, makes me feel like it's sending the pimples to hell. I'll rate it 2 stars for now, let's see if my condition improves in a week.

It works but it's a little expensive
i feel for the last reviewer. i am also on lymacyline and i think it works but i get a blanket of dead cell covering on my face. I tried E45, Zerocream, Zerobase, etc. none seems to work but just in about a day or 2 use of Acnecide i can see marked improvements.
Sorry buddy, about the hell you went through - maybe you were allergic to some of the active ingredients but this Acnecide gel is a saviour. My only little moan is the price - £9.99 for 30g at Superdrug is a bit of a hit. But it works so at least you pay for the results!

Sad
First, lets get the facts out of the way, I am a 33 year old female. I have had hormonal cystic acne for several years now. Recently I have had a ovary removed and undergone a hormone suppressing drug therapy. In other words, I have no estrogen in my system.
Now, the story.
I started using this line right after I had the one ovary removed. I started with the recommended build up routine. My skin had seemed to clear for two of three weeks. Then boom! It was worse! Acne in areas of my face that previously never had it!
Once I had started the twice a day regimen my skin dried out and every pore on my cheeks, jaw and hair line got crusty and burned all day.
My consultant warned me that some people find it too strong and have to back off to once a day. She warned me that after four weeks I would likely see a purge and it was perfectly normal.
I decided that I was over doing it and backed off to once a day. I have been using this line once a day for more than 60 days and have had little to no results. At times I feel like my skin is looking better but most of the time I feel it's worse.
Today I was contacted about refilling my order. The consultant told me it might take 90 days before it clears up.
WHAT?! NO!
Now, I KNOW THAT I have no estrogen in my system, so it can't be hormonal fluctuations at this point.
I don't feel that this product was worth it's cost.
I have taken pictures along the way and am sad about this experience.
I have one good thing to say about this product. All my tiny black heads are gone.
But all in all this product did not work for me. There must be people that it works for because I see positive reviews on all the sites that I visited to find some sort of answer to why this product is not working for me.
I just hope that all these scars heal and that my previous care routine can bring me back to the skin I had a few months ago.

HORRIBLE!
I do NOT recommend this product!!! I experienced a horrible burning sensation! At first I thought it was just tingling, like regular products do,but no it's not like that at all!! When I wiped it off, I has horrible discoloration to my face, you could see exactly where I had applied the cream. And I had horrible irritation and redness. I literally cried, at the way my face looked after taking it off. I will NEVER use this or any associated product again!! I DO NOT recommend to anyone!!

A product that saved my life
I am an older women with adult acne. I would not even take pictures. I tried all the big name products and none of them worked for me. I have battle with this adult acne for seven years now. I went into a dollar store and decided to try Dr. Sheffield Clear Zit Acne Cream. One reason was because the box reminded me of the old ways of the south any way i tried it and within a couple of days i got results three weeks later i"m ready to take pictures again. I and my husband will be taking our first picture together. I just wanted to thank you for giving me life back giving me my smile back. Great product.

Great until you stop using it..
Ive used the regimen for 3 moths it cleared all my acne except a few pimples, a week after i ran out i started getting my acne back 2 weeks after i have full blown acne, my advice don't but the cleanser its a waste of money just buy the bp and moisturizer. and if you plan to solve your acne in the long term this isn't the product your looking for.

Miracle product
I don't really know where to begin.
I have been suffering from acne since I was 12 and back then it was just a few pimples on the forehead that left dark spots. Soon it got worse and started spreading on my cheeks. I entered high school and I had already started wearing foundation because my scars and acne started taking a toll on my confidence. I was young and I researched ALL the time on acne cures. I remember saving up my allowance just to buy drugstore face washes or creams. I never told my parents because even then they always seemed to judge my skin and I didn't want to bring more attention to it.
Sophomore year was the worse. I started getting cystic acne. These just weren't the regular pimples that could be popped (which I know you're not supposed to) these pimples were deep in the skin and looked like bumps on the face. Foundation couldn't even do anything at all to help me feel a little better about myself. I always put my hair on the side of my face and even when the wind was blowing, I tried to keep it there. My parents began to cringe when they saw my face and they started getting mad at me for using and buying all these face washes. I probably spent a couple hundred on face products. I began to avoid going outside and I started fighting my parents a lot because I always felt like crap around them. I wore foundation in my own house because I felt the most judged around my family. I cannot even begin to explain everything that I went through.
Eventually my parents forced me to go to the dermatologist. Around that time, I was breaking out with at least 10 cystic pimples and maybe another 10 pimples with puss. I felt horrendous to the point that leaving the house without makeup was not an option. I went to the dermatologist with a face full of makeup. They asked me to take my makeup off and my mom was in the room. I never felt so vulnerable in my life. I don't know what it was, but we started arguing in the room when the doctor wasn't there and I started crying. The dermatologist and assistant came in and saw that I was crying and they realized how completely broken I was.
I went to the dermatologist for months. They gave me their own products and constantly gave me cortisone injections, maybe 10 or more per visit. My pimples were going away, but it left my face absolutely pitted. And then it stopped working. The cystic acne came back and honestly I thought I was just going to live the rest of my life getting these shots.
The rest of high school remained the same. Senior year my cystic acne had reduced, however it never truly left. I started my freshman year of college and my first semester, I guess from all the stress, my cystic acne came back with a vengeance and it was the worst I had seen it. Finally feeling so tired and depressed, I went on acne.org. I knew of the website a long time ago, just when I started having pimples. I remember reading reviews here for different products, but I never knew or I guess was never interested in trying out Dan's products. I figured that since I have tried, to me felt like, absolutely everything, including 10% BP, salicylic acid, sulfate, green tea, sea salt, aspirin, how could a low dosage of BP work.
In desperation, I bought the set. Literally within two weeks my skin was 60% a lot better. And keep in mind that my acne was already at its worst. My skin did get very dry, which I never imagined it could be since I have very oily skin. Eventually I had to switch to a thicker moisturizer to combat the dry skin. After a month, I did not have any pimples left, cystic or regular.
I guess I'm taking the time to write this because I want to help anyone, even just one person, who has battled acne for a long time or who just started. Follow the regimen precisely, especially the dosage or it will not work. I am now happy and confident and I hope you guys will be too.
Thank you so much Dan
