The real & best Acne treatment ever!!
I started using the acne regimen last year on 12/4/17. This product was recommended by a friend. I was going through a rough time with my skin and I broke out really badly on my face. Nothing was working for me instead it just got worse

So far, So good!
I started using the kit in mid December 2017. I saw so many reviews before deciding to buy the item. My face had started breaking out bad, I was getting cystic acne all over my cheeks, I didn't want to use accutane as my next option I opted for this and birth control (pills). The first month was the worst, my skin was SUPER dry so I definitely recommend getting some jojoba oil I bought mine from Amazon, and that helped, the CeraVe Night cream also helps a lot and didn't make me break out. I really liked the cleansing soap and the actual treatment, the moisturizer however, I didn't really like it was so slippery and i feel like it made me oily in my t-zone. I was breaking out still for the first and second month however when i hit the third month i saw a MAJOR difference, now all I have are scars for the most part. I'll have one or two but the peroxide will help it by the next day. Can't wait to see if the acid helps long term as well for the scarring ( i started using the acid after a month )

Maintains, BUT...
Skin type: Sensitive and Oily. Disclaimer: I only used the acne.org BP. I used the normal to dry skin Cetaphil cleanser, and kept trying different moisturizer to combat the dryness the BP left me with afterwards. Let's get straight to the point: It maintained my skin's clarity, hence the 3 stars. I still had the occasional chin pimple around my period, but other than that; clear. This all came at a price. I followed the acne.org regimen of gently applying a thick layer of the BP on the skin and letting it dry for about 20-30 minutes. While I waited for it to dry, my eyes would burn and water, my skin was extremely irritated, itchy, and it stung. After it dried, I found that a normal moisturizer would not do. It would be hard to spread around my face, it seemed like it would skip over my skin and I would have to use more force in applying the moisturizer (which i really didn't want to do). I never found the perfect moisturizer to use after the BP. I found that I wasn't producing any oil during the day, which was very different for me, and it was nice not having to worry about how shiny I was all the time, but then I found that I also looked like a lackluster zombie. Also, my neck started becoming extremely dry, itchy, irritated, and flaky. I later found this was because when I would apply my moisturizer to my face, I would drag the remaining product to my neck and I'm guessing the BP would also get transferred, irritating the delicate neck skin. User error I suppose. But for me, having to literally sit still for 30 minutes in pain, with my eyes closed to avoid the burning and stinging, and not being able to use a regular moisturizer afterwards to combat the dryness was not worth it. With my skin if something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. I stopped using it and my acne and oil have returned. I use it as a spot treatment for active pimples in combination with Clindamyacin lotion now, and I know if i'm in a pinch it can be relied on. I know that some people will do anything to improve their acne condition, and have different skin situations, and that's why I still wanted to give it 3 stars. I say give it a shot.

Horrible!
I was prescribed this along with lymecycline (oral antibiotic which I had been taking for two months already). I used this overnight and by the next morning my entire face was red and really itchy (even around my eyes, where the gel went nowhere near!). It took over a week for my skin to return to normal (e.g. for all the swelling / raised bumps / redness to go down). Stupidly, I decided to give it another go a few weeks after this, however I only applied the gel around the areas that were less sensitive (mainly the edges of my face). Again, when I woke up my entire face was inflamed and itchy even on the areas I had not applied it. Definitely NEVER using this again!

I can't wait
I suffered from acne since I was 14 years old Nothing bad, but I thought it was bad I used the things dermotologist prescribed, antibiotics (doxycline) , spiroctone however you spell it lol accutane, birthcontrol pills and bezoyl peroxide gel from dermotologist. The pills would work while I was on it, but onces I stopped acne came back. Now I have almost 2 years suffering from hormonal acne and it has messed me up so bad my confidence went from 100 to zero. At times I feel like crying I have tried everything aloe vera, face mask, I drink alot of water I tried 3 weeks of cutting out dairy and I didn't see no difference. I recently promised myself to get this BP try it for about 3-4 months with my cerave face wash. I have super sensitive skin, who has seen results with this product that had severe acne? And how long did it take you to see results?

not sure
I am really not sure about this. my skin used to be oily and now it's dry. I thought it kind of helped but I am not sure if I should continue. I am really insecure about my acne and don't know what to do. I also use this other acne cream called epiduo forte along with this.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
im not going to bash any of these products whatsoever because clearly it worked for millions of people; but from my personal experience i believe it caused excma on my face after less than a week of using, maybe because my skin may be sensitive. although i don't recommend the treatment nor moisturizer, i do stronly recommend the cleanser.

Liquid GOLD for ACNE !
This is the only acne treatment that acts as the best spot treatment that I have ever used. Whenever I get a breakout and that is, rarely ever since I started using their regimen.... I will dab a dot of this product on the pimple and boom....the next morning it will no longer be throbbing or red. I like to be extra so I try to pop it first before applying the product just to make absolute sure that the product gets into the cyst to do its magic. I have tried both ways (unpopping/popping) and it will still work but sometimes Ill get a stubborn one therefore the need for popping it first. VOILA !! The zit will literally die the next morning.
