Proactive is nothing compared to this!

I've been using this treatment for 5 years now and the only thing i regret is spending my money on other products that never worked. My skin feels great!

Completely acne-free

Made an account just to leave a review. I'd always had moderate acne, but in the past year I had the worst acne of my life. I've tried just about everything, and decided to try the Acne.org benzoyl peroxide since it got such good reviews. 

The progress you see is from February 2019 to June 2019. I only used the BP from Acne.org - my routine every night was: 

1. Oil face wash

2. Foaming face wash

3. Acne.org BP cream (two pumps at first, but after irritation reduced to one pump)

4. Regular moisturizer

5. Thick moisturizer on sensitive skin areas

The result was my face completely cleared up in the course of those months. In my 'after' pictures, any discolourations you see are due to tanning after the BP burned me, or acne scars. I did experience some redness and irritation, but my completely clear face made it worth it. At this time of writing I don't have a single pimple. 

Use it consistently, keep at it, and you'll see results.

Amazing

I only use this but it changed everything for me. A friend showed me this stuff and after 2 weeks of religiously putting it on every night, my skin was completely clear. My acne wasn?t horrible but I ALWAYS had at least 3-5 big zits on my forehead. Now I rarely get any. Seriously so amazing. (I also tried everything else) 7068F120-5D0E-4617-942E-E3C253A978CA.jpeg.edcede0b41db7e0b23c4bd0616ba5708.jpeg

It really works!

The acne.org system changed my skin for the better in just 2 weeks. I am a 39 y/o African American female and I have hormonal cystic acne. I was waking up to 4 - 5 pimples a day. I just purchased my second order with acne.org, this time I purchased the 16 oz bottles and the jojoba oil as well! If you are skeptical watch the videos on YouTube. The videos are very informative and helped me with my decision to start the regimen.

Look no Further

Guys this is the stuff to get, I used Proactiv for years thinking there was nothing better until I decided to bite the bullet and buy this. It was like my skin became completely clear after one day and now I'm a week in and I'm STILL clear (this never happens, I've never been completely clear more than like 1-2 days in 10 years) I also love how the cleanser is good for shaving as I'm sure all the shaving gels I have been using don't help my skin. The BP really absorbs good and you get so much you can really lay it on there and not feel guilty, whereas Proactiv I KNOW I wasn't using enough now, but the bottle is so little and SO expensive I was trying to save money by using less. If it keeps up like this it will change my life; the only downside is my skin is dry, even with my skin being adjusted to using BP for years, but I'm hoping it will adjust sooner so I don't have to keep moisturizer at work lol. But it's worth it to be clear after trying SOOOO many products

Acne.org treatment changed my life

Hi. I'm Joanna from Poland. I've been struggling with acne for years. I've had heavy acne as a kid, as a teenager and as an adult for almost 20 years... till 2015 (I've tried various drugs and cosmetics through the years). I'm 31 years old now and I still have some spots from time to time but my skin changed a lot and all thanks to acne.org regimen kit. The Treatment was my miracle. It really changed my skin! At first I was using whole Kit, with moisturizer and cleanser as you should - 2 times a day. After few weeks my skin was looking nicer, spots were much smaller, bumps under skin as well (I have been using a lot moisturizer so my skin was just a little dry). Few months later I was using Kit once a day, an now I'm just using treatment from time to time for some spots I have during PMS. I don't have any pre-kit photos because having acne was really painful for me. You can see my result - my face now- it's my profile photo. I don't like or know have to do make-up so I'm almost make-up free (mascara and eyeliner only). 

I live in Poland so buying stuff in US isn't the cheapest or fastest way to get things but Treatment is worth every cent I have spent to get it and every minute I have wait for package to be delivered. 

Just try it. Maybe it's not for you, but maybe IT IS and maybe it will change your life. 

Greetings from Poland

Life changing

I've had acne for 6 years, spent I think around $1,500 on products from face washes and oils to vitamins, yet this is the only thing that has worked. I used to get 4-8 pimples a DAY and now 4 weeks on BP I think I've gotten 5 since the day I started. The texture of my skin is now so so smooth. Re: the dryness, I mean yeah it is kinda drying but it's more than manageable with a decent moisturiser and jojoba oil. Try this, it works.

3 Weeks In

I'm 3 weeks in and I've gotten a lot of compliments from my bf/family about how much better my skin is looking!  I have very sensitive, cystic acne skin and I've tried everything at the drugstore and on amazon to get rid of it.  I went to a derm. once and they wanted to put me on accutane but I personally didn't want to do it.  I will say I probably got a little too excited with the treatment on week 2 and my face got EXTREMELY dry.  I waited though and pulled through.  I did have to swap moisturizers because I personally did not love the one that comes with the kit.  But after I did that and started using some jojoba oil my dryness has almost completely gone away.  I'm not 100% clear yet, but the difference between day one and now is insane.  I'm even on my period and haven't seen anything new pop up (usually its like a madhouse of pimples).  One piece of advice though, stay away from foundation that has salicylic acid in it.  My face burned when I tried using my clinique foundation with salicylic acid and itched the rest of the day.  I swapped to a mineral powder foundation and now I'm such a happy camper.  Do try this, it's worth it if you have hormonal or cystic acne.  And remember that there are going to be some rough, dry, peely, pimply days but if you just keep going you're going to feel like it was all so worth it!!

It works!

I left this same review on the big bottles..

This regimen not only worked for me, but 3 of my friends who all have different types and severity of acne. This photo is of my skin now. Nothing else ever did the trick like the regimen. My friends and I always joke how we are "slaves to the reg" because we need it so badly and we can't ever skip it.

READ: My acne did not go away until about a month - month and a half. I only get pimples if I skip the regimen a few times or half-ass it for a while. Even on nights where you are super tired, drank a bunch, or mornings you want to sleep in and skip it.. remember you are a "slave to the reg". It is VERY worth it though.. nothing like smooth skin! If you do decide to try this product, be sure to use it consistently and follow the instructions very closely for at least a few weeks. I am SO glad I did.

Finding a Doctor

The right dermatologist can make a big difference to your patient experience and the success of your acne treatment plan. Here are the steps to find a dermatologist who is a good fit:

  1. Use the search feature on the American Academy of Dermatology website to look for board-certified dermatologists in your area, and filter the search results for doctors with a special interest in treating acne.
  2. Read online patient reviews of any dermatologists you are considering and ask people you know whether they have any experience with these dermatologists.
  3. Do your research and go to your first appointment with questions prepared.
  4. Listen to what your gut feeling tells you once you see a dermatologist in person. If you are not completely comfortable, try a different dermatologist.

Finding a Doctor

Only a select few plastic surgeons specialize in acne scar revision surgery. Be certain to find a provider who specializes in acne scar repair and who is passionate and experienced in this area.

Be sure to:

  • Look at before and after photos, the more the better, especially patients with similar scarring to your own.
  • Be realistic about results. Look for improvement, not a cure.

Questions to ask a potential scar revision specialist:

  • Are you board certified? Be certain that they are board certified.
  • How long have you been performing these procedures? Normally, the more experience the better, however, some younger surgeons may be more on top of the latest procedures.
  • Can I speak to some of your other patients? Ask for references for several patients who had similar scarring and speak to them about the process and their satisfaction with results.

Red flags:

  • Their story changes: As you discuss different treatment options, if they tend to change their mind easily, or agree with whatever you say, consider this a red flag. A confident, experienced surgeon will possess strong, unwavering opinions.
  • Your gut tells you "no": Trust your gut. If you just don't feel that the doctor is the right fit, trust that and move on. On the other hand, if you feel they are the perfect specialist for you, trust that feeling.
