Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel)
Cons:
Other than the obvious redness and peeling if not enough moisturizer is applied and too much of the gel itself applied,
will bleach dyed fabrics, also eyebrows and hair.
Well the bottom line is, we're all here to clear up our acne, to do this you have to be strict with yourself. This includes your diet and the acne.org regimen. I would personally recommend eating healthy, fruit, veg, green tea, lots of water, absolutely NO confectionaries, dairy products are acceptable in small amounts, no spicy or peppery foods, and no drinks high in sugar. Sugar WILL make your acne worse, take it from me, you dont need dermatologists evidence to say it does, work it out for yourself, pig out on lots of sugary foods and eureka, massive breakout the next morning. Also dont get sloppy with the regimen or leave parts out, I did and suffered for it. Also it would be worth looking in to zinc supplements.
Combined a good attitude towards food, this product will do great things.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
It works for me :D
Cons:
It causes a bit of redness and flakiness(Fixed it once I found the right amount to use for my face).
Coming from someone who:
-Has oily & sensitive skin.
-Has tried Proactive, Murad, Neutrogena, Bioré, and Clean & Clear. Tips for Using this Product:
-Watch Dan's "Regimen" videos. They help guide you through the steps and proper use of the products.
-Don't give up too soon! Took me about a month to get my great results :)
*Important*-You have to experiment with the amount of your product application. (Dan uses more and it works for him, I use a bit less and it still works great for me) Because of my sensitive skin I found that if I use as much as Dan indicates on his video my skin gets flaky and red. SO instead of using a fingers lenght of B.P. I use about and inch of treatment.
-I usually use more moisturizer than treatment. So 1 inch of treatment and 1 1/2 inch of moisturizer(to prevent the flakiness).
*GIRLS*-Moisturizer takes a little longer to absorb so the first thing I do in the morning is wash my face, dry it, then use the treatment. After I fix my hair(the treatment is dry by then) I apply the moisturizer and then eat and finish getting ready so the moisturizer has more time to absorb. The LAST thing to do is put on my makeup(I do this so my makeup won't blot with the lotion). Conclusion:
-I really believe the "Regimen" and the Acne.org products work :D Like me, you have to experiment with the amount and the number of days a week that you use it. I have such good results I recently bought a new supply of the kit(one kit lasted over two months for me).

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

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Clears up face.
Not expensive compared to prescription acne products.
Cons:
Very drying
Takes a long time to dry, then apply moisturizer at night when I really just want to go to bed.
I really think this is amazing. It's so ironic that something over the counter like benzoyl peroxide can work better than prescriptions. It says that it may take a couple of weeks to see results; I saw results after the first night I used it. For real. I really like their cleanser as well, but it could be replaced with something like Cetaphil. The moisturizer isn't anything special, so I think you should use whatever over the counter brand you like best. But the jojoba oil works really well too.
Point being, this works fantastic.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
clears up skin
Cons:
read down there!
okay, so i have tried EVERYTHING out there, in fact, my search for a good treatment made me want to be a dermatologist so that no one has to go through this. anywaysss, i bought this BP and tried it for about a week, it completely dried out my face and i could barely move my mouth, so i quit using it. then i came back on the site and read more about it. i decided to buy the jojoba oil and give it another shot, the jojoba oil was awesome, however i still had major flakes. so i was thinking that maybe the pure BP was a bit too harsh on my skin, so i mixed the BP, olay moisturizer, and jojoba oil together and gave it a third go. worked like a charm! so basically the point of the story: if its too drying for you then mix it with a moisturizer. i promise it will work!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Works fast and keeps working!!! Great results for half the cost of other acne treatments!!! Shipping was SUPER fast too!!
Cons:
NONE AT ALL
I am a 25-year-old female who while having dealt with mild acne my whole adult life, it worsened to severe hormonal cystic acne in my early 20's. I used Proactiv for a couple years but after 15 months, it just stopped working. I gave up and just dealt with the acne for over a year until I found acne.org. Since the price was so reasonable, I thought why not? That was 3 months ago and I won't look back. I have not suffered from a single deep, cystic pimple since I started the regimen and my old scars from picking are disapearing more every day! I also suffered from "backne" so I started using the AHA treatment from acne.org and it has vanished! Now I can wear tank tops and bikinis and not feel self conscious. I am so happy I decided to try acne.org and I am actually saving money on my skin care regimen now!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (X Out)
WHAT HAPPENED PROACTIVE-
I ordered this sh*t 11 months ago and next month will make it a WHOLE DAMN YEAR! I still havent received any Xout. All payments went through so Im patiently waiting guys.... thats theft. Oh and peeps be very careful and make sure you cancel the "generous orders" they do on your behalf. You will be buying sh*t for months without your knowledge. So yeah! Xout-get out. PS- I gave 1 star because it was mandatory to select a rating.

Product used: Quinoderm ((5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream)
Please try this!
I've never had horrendous skin, but have been suffering with continuous spots for as long as I can remember. I came off the pill recently and suffered an awful breakout - my skin was the worst it had ever been. I would say they were mostly whiteheads but I also got small bumps which don't go away unless you squeeze them' no idea what they are?! This went on for about three months, with new spots constantly forming all over my face. The doctor has now put me on dianette but it is far too early to see the benefits of that. So I decided to start using quinoderm again- I used to use it when I was younger. I'm using 10% three times a day as I am on summer holidays. I started using it under a week ago and noticed a difference the next morning. It is now six days later and my skin is the clearest it has been in three months. It's still not what is used to be before the breakout but it's getting there, fast. I think because I've used it before, my skin has not started flaking off (which it used to!!), but I can see it is starting to get very dry around my chin and it stings a little after applying. But this is nothing compared to having spots all over my face. In the time of using it, I have only had one new spot which has gone down very quickly. It not only clears spots but makes them heal and disappear quicker. I never normally write reviews, but after obsessively reading them this summer after feeling so down about my face, I really wanted to help others. No one deserves the awful feeling of having bad skin and if this persuades one person to buy it and stop their problem I will be very happy!

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
-Easy application (use a gentle touch)
-Burning/Cleansing feeling during first 2 weeks use. (Could be con for some, but burning means it's working)
-Very low price (Anyone can afford it)
-10% Benzyl Peroxide doesn't mess around (if you tough through the burning, this stuff DESTROYS acne causing bacteria)
-Removes the dirty layers of skin and leaves your dirty pores unclogged and supple
Cons:
-This is only a con if you're not smart. Benzyl peroxide WILL and is supposed to dry your skin out. Make sure you wait 10 minutes after applying, and then use a non comodegenic moisturizer. (Cetaphil is the best and is sold at Fred Meyer, grab the facial one)
All those suffering from acne must read this. Acne causing bacteria is relentless, and those of us that have acne need to realize it will be with us for many many years to come. The only way to eliminate it, is to grab a Facial Cleanser from the store (Step 1), Oxy Maximum (Step 2), and Cetaphil Facial moisturizer (Step 3). This method works guaranteed ONLY if you do it twice a day and NEVER STOP. EVER. You wet your face down with warm water, put 2 pumps of cleanser in your hands, lather up, gently apply to entire face for 10 seconds, wash off with warm water. Lightly pat dry, then wait 5 minutes to dry. Let your face get tight, and dry out a bit. Then shake up the oxy bottle a bit, and squeeze out a nickel size onto your finger and very lightly apply to entire face. If some of it doesn't completely absorb, its okay, leave it, wait 10 minutes after using Oxy. Your face will be burning, and red, but you MUST know, this is what Benzyl does for the first couple weeks. It WILL go away. After 10 minutes, put a little more than a nickel size of Cetaphil in your hands and lightly/generously apply to your entire face. Wash your hands in-between the cleanser, oxy, and moisturize. Do this in the morning, and at night. I guarantee in 1 month, you will be shocked and scream out loud how much you love Benzyl Peroxide. I have had acne for 8 years now and I am finally killing all of it. I have a soft and clean face. But I will NOT stop using it. Any more questions? Email me, mobproductionsmatt@[link removed]
