Pros:

Smoother skin, gets rid of stubborn acne/bumps on my face

Cons:

None yet!!

Okay, after reading all the great reviews on here I was just crossing my fingers that this lotion would work just as well for my skin. After one night, I have already noticed a difference in my skin texture. My make-up went on super silky today. I'm really excited right now, i had to write a review right away. I can't wait to see what this lotion will do over the next few weeks. I'm really happy with my skin right now.. & it's been a long time since i've felt this way. Thank you so much, Dan!! =]

Add to Your Regimen! Makes a HUGE difference.
The Regimen changed my life and the way I feel about myself! I came back from a year long backpacking trip where my skin completely cleared up and when I came home into a very stressful situation (my dad passed away) my already acne prone skin flared up with intensity. I had cystic acne on my cheeks and jawline (at least 5-10 at a time). I had acne under my skin on my forehead, a lot of little bumps around my temples, and pimples I could sometimes pop on my inner cheeks next to my nose. I tried Aczone and Adapalene but neither worked and they made my skin look really dull. I finally stumbled across Acne.org Regimen in December of 2015 so I've been using it for 8 or 9 months now. The first two months were hard. I had really dry, red skin but I could tell that my skin was healing. By month 5 & 6 my forehead and inner cheek acne almost completely disappeared besides the occasional break out. My cystic acne was stubborn but I can say now that I have not had 1 cystic break out for at least 2 months! I added AHA to my regimen about 5 months after starting the Regimen and I feel like that made a huge difference. I mix it with the lotion every night equal parts. I am so happy and confident with my skin now! It is completely clear! I cannot express enough that you need to give the Regimen time to heal your acne! The longer I stay on it the more beautiful my skin is. The only thing I have now is a little bit of scarring and dark marks that I can easily cover with makeup. I use Bare Minerals complexion rescue which has never made me break out and is really light weight! Please try to Regimen & stick with it if you're struggling with acne! It will change your life.

Pros:

Makes skin really smooth, moisturizes well, calms breakouts, fades hyperpigmentation, exfoliates wonderfully

Cons:

Burns a bit at first (but not terribly), smells a little funky, makes skin a little sensitive and tender while you're getting used to it

I've only been using this stuff for about 4 days (morning and night), but wow! It's already started to fade my hyperpigmentation from past breakouts, and my skin is incredibly smooth. I can't wait to see what this stuff is going to do in the long run! Oh, and you get a lot of this product for the price! You only need about a thumbnail sized amount to cover your whole face!

Pros:

skin is smoother, WAY less acute acne, great as a spot treatment (major eruptions gone. overnight!) it seems to help calm the redness in my skin, is helping to fade acne scars. I'm only 26, but I look younger AND less acne! Hooray!

Cons:

Sometimes stings in sensitive areas, but sting really doesn't last more than a few seconds, and has never stopped me from wearing it. Increases sun sensitivity, so use sunscreen!

I love this stuff!!!!! If you have problems with it at first, I was using a very very thin layer of jojoba or cetaphil lotion under the AHA to get my skin used to it (I also started using it in the DeAd of winter, so you probably won't even need to do this!) It's a pretty gentle product as far as acne treatments go. My skin is usually dry/combo/sensitive/acne prone, so it hates harsh stuff. This ain't harsh. ;) Helps my skin look smoother, i recommend exfoliating every few days since it appears to have accelerated my skin's sloughing process (which i think is the whole point?) I use Olay sensitive skin gentle cleaning cloths in a circular motion to get all the dead skin off. Try this stuff. Trust me. :)

Pros:

Makes my skin glow with health and radiance

Cons:

Can ball up
Makes my skin sensitive to the sun

I struggled with acne for almost 18 years before finding DK's Regimen. I was completely clear within 6 weeks after beginning the Regimen. After being on The Regimen for about 6 weeks, I started applying the AHA+ at night after treatment, before moisturizer. My skin has never looked better. I have that glow that make-up can't give you, and therefore have learned to hate covering up my beautiful skin! This coming from a girl who wouldn't even go to the grocery store or gym without make-up for years :)

Pros:

LOVE it. Evens skin tone, clears active acne spots, shrinks pores, makes skin smooth and beautiful and moisturized

Cons:

Not good during the day unless you use just a TINY amount because it is thick/sticky. I haven't noticed any increase to sun sensitivity.

OK, I hate BP, SA, pretty muchI hate most all acne products. They usually dont help at all, make skin dry and irritated, and quick working if you miss only one day. This stuff rocks. It is moisturizing, and it clears Acne. I tried the "regimen" and pretty much everything else, to no avail. This stuff is the only thin that worked for me. All I did was wash with Neutrogena Naturals face wash, and this at night. At first, I GLOBBED this stuff on, just like you would with the BP in the regimen and rubbed it in gently but well. Now I use just a little bit, enough to cover. I use it only at night, in the morning I just splash with water to rinse it off. I am outdoor all day, never noticed any increased sun sensitivity but I always use some sunscreen. Bottom line, if you hate BP and it doesn't work for you, this is definitely worth a try. I cleared up within a few months completely, and it has been over a year of clear skin since then. My acne was Moderate/severe before, now it is non-existent. Also, this helps with the marks.

Pros:

clear, smooth, even-toned skin!

and it can help prevent wrinkles in the future!

Cons:

seriously....nothing!

Ok, so i had light-moderate acne with really oily skin. I went on a light dose of accutane after my extremely persistant and stubborn acne failed to respond to other treatments. Accutane worked like a charm with minimal side effects. but everyone knows after so much time some of the acne and oil returns. THIS PRODUCT FIXED EVERYTHING! i use it as my regular moisturizer morning and night after i wash with a mild cleanser. my oil level has dropped, and i only have an occasional zit or 2 around my period. It's also the best bang for your buck! The tube is HUGE and even though its like $17, it has lasted me over a year (and remember, i use it twice a day)!! my real bottom line---TRY IT!

Pros:

It works - does everything it says it will

Cons:

None - at all

I hate lengthy reviews, so here it is plain and simple. I started using this in December, and I am now completely clear. I dont use anything else, except a basic facial wash. I use this at night, with one generous application. Stinging - not really. Maybe a little once in a while but nothing like the SA I have used before. It also DOES NOT really increase sensitivity to the sun for me. It really depends on your face and skin. I haven't noticed any tendency to burn since I started using this, and I have a medium complexion and blonde hair. Anyway, I am clear, I would recommend to anyone. Even if you dont have acne, it makes your skin so soft and hydrated, I literally glow now!
