DO NOT USE THIS REGIMEN!!!

If I could rate this 0 stars I would, but it has to get 1.

I have been struggling with acne for years and I tried this regimen a couple years ago. It didn't really work because I would pick at my skin. I decided to pick up this regimen again a couple weeks ago because my face had been doing better but it wasn't completely clear yet. My face automatically started getting worse. I was breaking out with cystic pimples and so many white heads. I assumed this was my skin getting used to the products again and that it would get worse before it got better. Then after it started to get really bad after a month, I looked at the ingredients. There are so many harsh chemicals, not to mention alcohol and fragrance in these products that should NOT be going on your skin. 

Not only did the regimen severely break me out, my skin was peeling and flaking off. I understand this is common for people and you have to manage how much you use the products and ease them into your routine. I did start out small with the use of benzoyl peroxide (only at night) but i would wake up with huge pimples with my skin peeling off around it. This benzoyl peroxide is 2.5% too, which is crazy it would have such a harsh reaction. I have been using 5% benzoyl peroxide for most of my life and it has never made my skin so dry. 

Moral of the story: this regimen has way too many chemicals and is way too harsh on your skin. If you're really trying to clear your acne, do your research and focus on the ingredients that are in your products. They are only telling you to strictly stick to this regimen so you keep buying their products. 

just NO

broke out worst for the whole trial

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.

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. 

I've never not been able to leave the house because of how bad my acne was, today that changed. I woke up after the first week of using this product with inflamed acne on my forehead, cheeks, nose, and cheek. Normally I don't get acne on my nose but ever since using this product I've noticed a steady increase in acne. I'm so embarrassed and school starts in less than a week. My acne has never been this abundant, painful, and large and I have no idea how to treat it. Do not but Proactive if you have sensitive skin, your skin will peel off in clumps, your acne will increase, and your skin will turn bright red from inflammation. I've never been so embarrassed in my life, I can't even wear makeup because my skin just peels off whenever I try to blend concealer over it. I was so excited to go out this weekend and now I am stuck inside.

I was prescribed this by my dermatologist every morning to try and clear my mild but very stubborn acne. He suggested using this every morning because I use Tretinoin cream every night and the benzoyl peroxide make the cream less effective when used together. I have seen absolutely no difference in my skin other than the fact that I am as red as a lobster after using this and my skin is extremely dry. I would not suggest

I have mild to moderate acne. I started this regimen 2 months ago. I used the cleanser, BP, and lotion for a month, then I incorporated the AHA. My acne has not improved at all. I followed the instructions exactly. I am not sensitive to BP, but I feel that this particular formula made it so my face could not heal properly. Every time I would break out I would be left with large dry red marks on my face. This has never happened to me before using this product. I advise caution when using this product. I think it might be for people who have very sever acne. It does dry out your face, but that is to be expected considering all the chemicals you are using on your face. Week one I thought I was improving somewhat, week two my face seemed to be getting worse. I kept going with the product because I read a lot of reviews that said you get worse before you get better. I kept going until month one hit then I incorporated the AHA. It has been two months on this regimen and my face looks terrible. I have terrible marks on my cheeks and I still break out everywhere on my face. I originally started this regimen after coming off birth control. After a couple of months being of the birth control I started to break out. I ordered these products, but I wish I did not. I feel that if you are in the same situation I was in and you are trying to combat acne due to stopping birth control you should just let it take its course. I do not usually write reviews but I wanted the people in similar situation to read what I went through. Most of the reviews on here are positive, so it is hard to say whether or not my experience was a fluke. I went back to using Cerave face cleanser and La Roche Posay 5.5 BP as a spot treatment. Hopefully this helps a little. 

I still use the AHA to prevent wrinkles, but I do not think it does anything for breakouts. For the people who do decide to try this regimen I hope this is their miracle product.  

Okay so I've been using this for years, it worked at first and then I got addicted as it never TRULY cleared me just kept it at bay like any cheap drug store brand would, but this is 10x more expensive. It is soooooo expensive for the tiny amount you get. I've been on the acne.org treatment for a week now and this is the longest I've been completely clear, I haven't sprouted anything new and what was there healed so fast. I'm telling you guys, try the acne.org regimen you will not regret it, this stuff is made super cheap and low quality for how expensive it is and the cleanser is WAY too irritating, I used to get out of the shower and my dark spots and spots would be SO red but now with the acne.org cleanser my skin looks normal coming out and feels WAY cleaner.

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. 

I've been using this for several years & finally found something that worked. The new formula breaks my skin out and I'm glong to have to stop using it. It causes acne even where it had not been a problem. The new formula feels very greasy and slick on your face. It's back to square one. Maybe if I find something new it'll rid the acne that this new formula has caused. Absolutely horrible!
