BEST COUNTER PRODUCT FOR ACNE!
If you want to get rid of redness, acne, pimples, and dark spots/scars, this product is the "one" to use! I've discovered this product last summer, and it has been helping me keep my skin clear ever since!! I would not recommend this to people who have sensitive/extremely sensitive skin as the concentration of BP is pretty high (10%). You can apply this everyday, if your skin is normal (not too sensitive). It can work miracles overnight..GOSH it's a must have product..if you are suffering from acne/pimples.

Aweful Product Gave me Scars!! :(
I would give this product no stars if i could. After use of their kit, my face has been dry, burning, and itching for over a week. I purchased after misleading packaging, saying it was suitable for sensitive skin types. I have tried every remedy to no avail. Now there are scars appearing on my face. I have been trying to go without washing to see if my skin will regain its natural moisture and barrier. I can still feel my skin getting torn. Stay away if you have sensitive skin or definitely patch test. This product has caused the worse and most painful experience of my life! It hurts to look in the mirror and i severely regret this experience. Your face is your identity, protect it from harsh products as these if you are the sensitive type!

So far so good
I'm finishing week two of the treatment but before I go into detail I will say a couple of things that I'm doing differently. A) is that I only do the regimen once daily. I've noticed in the past that doing my face routine twice is too much irritation so I only do it at night time before bed and B) I haven't used the moisturizer yet because of all the bad reviews. I will try it though just not sure when. I use unscented lubriderm and C) I don't use the recommended dose for the BP. I only apply it to my acne prone areas and I have not increased dosage. Ok so the first few days in were great. My face was clear for the most part and I had no complaints. Now I am finished week 2 and I have some pimples. I have two that are healing right now and two new ones. Those are just on my acne prone side of my face. With the Bp I have been applying it to where I get the most acne:jaw line/outside of cheeks and chin and in my nose to try and clear pores. I just dab my finger in some bp and apply it. The new pimples that I have are a kind of acne I have never had before. They are hard, red and feel deep and don't really get a white head. I did drain them though but that didn't look good afterwards. I've never had pimples like that so I'm just hoping the bp is just pulling out the bad stuff. That's only on my worst acne prone area though which is my left side of cheek. On my chin I noticed a few small white heads but very small and I am starting to notice on my right side of cheek I think there are a couple big pimples forming and I just started putting bp there. So I'm assuming it's the 'purge' as they call it, and because of that I was scared to go through my entire face purging that's why I've been doing the bp a little different. I also don't apply it to areas that don't get acne. So after the cleanser and the bp then I pour about 5-6 drops of jojoba oil in my palm and then I dip my finger in it and gently rub it onto my face. I've been using jojoba oil before th regimen and it's helped immensely with my oily skin. I have not had oily skin since the day I first used jojoba. After the jojoba oil then I use a small amount of lubriderm. Just a half pump or so and I rub it between my hands and gently apply it to my face. It looks a tad greasy right afterwards but you don't wake up like that by no means. As for dryness, I have not had any. Maybe a tiny bit on my nose but very minimal. I think it's because I use a little bp and the jojoba and lubriderm are great for me. To remove my makeup I use the magic makeup cloth from Sephora. Just lukewarm water on the cloth and gently wipe it off. Been using for 2 years now and works great. Doesn't irritate. I used to be a little rough with my skin which obviously wasn't good. After doing research and realizing that exfoliating your face isn't good I started to try and be as gentle as possible and I noticed a big difference. No redness anymore. I'm not sure when I will try the moisturizer. I read bad reviews so I kept it out of the regimen for now. I figured once my skin is clear after 3 months of using the bp then I will switch to the moisturizer. If I break out then I know it's from that. I was too scared to have the bp purge plus possibly my skin being upset with too many changes and a moisturizer it didn't like/agree with. That's my thinking anyways. I really hope this review helps someone :)

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.

The best product I've ever purchased!!
This product has changed my life completely. Every night I would look In ge mirror cry. I went to the Dermatologist COUNTLESS times and nothing worked AT ALL. Going to get a facial would somewhat work for about 2-5 days . Almost given up ,my last option was to go on Acutane (retin A infamously known for bad side effects) I did NOT want to go on the drug neither did my mom want me to... THEN a friend recommended what she said had cleared her acne in less than 3 months. At first It sounded fishy, how would a cream clear up my face so well? (I had previously used several types of cream treatments the dermamtogist had haven me and none had worked) But I was desperate and tried it. Here I am at month 3 and all I can say is .LIFE.CHANGING . My confidence has gone up SOOOO much, I feel like actually wanting to take pictures and go out to places. If you are feeling like I was 3 months ago..PLEASE get on the regime! I hope it can change your life as much as it's changed mine! I've been there... I 100% know how you feel. My only regret is that I didn't buy this product sooner!

Pleased
I have had acne ever since the age of 12. I am now 18 going on 19 & it is pretty severe on my cheeks & chin. I started using the regimen in September & its now November. I have seen drastic changes in the active acne I used to have before using the product. I used to have bumps, cysts, and whiteheads all across my cheeks and chin area, but now they just look like inflamed, red scars for the most part. I definelty have far less active acne, but I'll still get a whitehead or a cyst around my chin area every couple of days, which probably has to do with hormones and diet (even though I'm vegan & eat pretty healthy). I'm going to experiment with eliminating things from my diet and stay on the regimen a little longer, then im going to work on getting rid of the hyperpigmented scars.

BLESSING
I've been using this regimen for almost a year now and my face is basically clear. I get A few pimples every now and then but nothing like i used It. I have To admit when i first Started this regimen i was A little scared because of the peeling/burning everyone talked about. Honestly, yes your face will peel because of the BP but it's worth it. Once your face gets used to the level of BP, it won't be so bad. I found It was better to use 6 drops of jojoba oil mixed in with moisturizer at night as my face got used to the level of BP. I've been on the regimen since February 2017 and it's now November 2017. I'm so happy to say that this has worked for me and has changed my life. I used To wear foundation all the time freshman-junior year of high school but once i started The regimen the middle of my junior year, i completely Stopped wearing makeup. Believe me, this was so hard because since i had Been wearing makeup for so long, my face was so red and irritated with pimples (not to mention so pale since my foundation had spf and it didn't let my face be exposed to sun). It was something i had To overcome and not only that but it speeds up the process of the regimen actually working. Currently, i barely wear makeup on my face anymore and i feel Comfortable to go to school and other places without it. All I'm left with now is a little bit of redness and scarring but that's nothing that AHA can't fix. This regimen does work and as long as you follow every step religiously you should see results.

The best..however
This is the best pure benzoyl peroxide magical treatment you will ever find. It works WAAY better than the Benzac AC 2.5% and the 5%. HOWEVER.. the downside of this cream and benzoyl peroxide as a chemical in general is that once you use it too often (like at least twice or thrice a week for a month), your skin gets immune to it. No matter how much you apply, acne would simply not go away. Once you notice it stops working, you would need to take a 3 month break and then get back to it. During that break, you need to use alternative acids and/or medications in order to treat your acne such as Tretinoin, Differin (gel only, cream is not as effective), Salicylic Acid, etc.

Acne.org for the win
I had used Proactiv for years to help with my mild acne. It cleared my face up for a while but then my acne had returned. A couple of times I had tried to stop using proactiv and my face would FREAK OUT and I would get the worst breakouts of my life. I was truly worried my skin was so dependent of the product that I'd never be able to stop using it. I finally switched to acne.org and it has changed my life. Within the first week I already saw awesome results. I have now been using it for about 5 months and I couldn't be happier!!! My skin has never been so clear and I MIGHT get 1 pimple a month. I am extremely satisfied with this product. I'm not a huge fan of the moisturizer so I use cera ve lotion instead. It works perfectly to moisturize my skin especially since the benzoyl peroxide dries out my skin pretty bad. I highly recommend this product!!!

Could anyone help?
Well, actually I have mild acnee : whiteheads and blackheads on my forhead and chin and some cystic acnee pimples on my cheeks.
When I started using the BP 5% (about the 2nd week) my acnee started to fade away, I was really happy
But then after couple of weeks I started purging and new acnee appears on my skin especially on my jawline (thus I hadn't such issue before BP)
I ve been using BP for 2 months now and I still didn't notice any positive changes although Im moisturizing well
What do you advise me ?
