Acne.org : Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%)

Maybe I received a bad tube. I apply a directed and it did nothing. So I applied some of the lotion to the corner of a towel to see if it would bleach it out meaning the BP was active & nothing. Now I'm out $25. I'm bummed.

I have been amazed by this product. I suffered from a mixed bag of acne problems ever since puberty and had tried multiple brands including proactiv, antibiotics and retin A in the past. I have sensitive skin which gets oily then dry within hours of each other despite a vegan diet and water consumption. I actually had the benefit of Speaking with Dan after I called about how to use the product properly (such a nice guy). So, ultimately, I have pictures that show every pore on my face erupting before I started using this product. One month later, I had one or two pimples. It was fast, effective, gentle and easy to maintain (and Affordable). Every month, though, my hormones would act up and I would have a mild breakout. I started recieving glycolic facials every few months to help with cell turnover along with the Regimen on a daily basis. TWO YEARS LATER: I am worried that the percent of BP is becoming too weak. I think my face has become so accustomed to it that its not nearly as effective anymore. I have tried going up to 5% with OTC, but it makes my face irritated. So, I've had to bump up my facials which is expensive. However, if I stop using the BP, my face breaks out like crazy so I know it is still effective for the most part. Ultimately, this product works, consistently and gently, but eventually you will need to manage a new regimen most likely. A time comes when your system just becomes accustomed to the product and its not as amazing as it used to be. I recommend this product, but like all good things...

Before using the acne.org BP I used '5% BP Oxy acne vanishing treatment' (which I got here in nova scotia, canada). This is a comparison of the two types of BP.The Oxy 5% worked so amazingly well. It turned my severe acne into NO acne in about 8 months time. But the clear skin didn't last for forever, when my third year at university began my skin began to break out all over again. So I switched to the acne.org BP hoping it would be better for my skin. I'll tell you. The acne.org BP looked a hundred times worse under my foundation. It caused a gradual separation of my makeup from my skin and I looked like a crazy person after only a few hours. It caused excessive dryness and flakiness, more than I had ever had with the Oxy 5%. The acne.org BP always makes my eyes sting and burn when applying (even though it's nowhere even close to my eye area.) It's gritty.The little particles feel irritating on my skin. It takes a while to dry. The packaging however is lovely, it's much cheaper than the Oxy 5%, and a 16oz bottle lasts forever. My acne has improved. I use the acne.org BP at bedtime now, and use the Oxy 5% during the day under my makeup, because the Oxy 5% acts like a lovely primer that gives my makeup a smooth look. I have tried five different products containing 2.5%-5% benzoyl peroxide, and the Oxy 5% was the only one that worked well for my skin, plus cooperation with foundation. Moral of the story : try different things out. Waste a little money. Get to know your skin. Be prepared to make mistakes in order to find your holy grail products.

I thought this benzoyl peroxide was too good to be true, but it works! The thing is you have to be consistent (use it every day) and gentle when applying it for the best results. You also have to moisturize afterwards or the drying will irritate your skin. Basically, I just followed the regimen and it worked like a miracle. I've been using it for two years with stunning results. I have had acne vulgaris since I was 9, tried all kinds of things like PanOxyl and Clindamyacin and all kinds of harsh cleansers that dried out my skin too much and moisturizers that clogged my pores. Sometimes they would help a little bit but they weren't very effective overall. That's until I started using the regimen and it cleared up my skin completely. It changed my life, as silly as that sounds, but it's true.

this is the first benzoyl peroxide that doesnt dry my sensitve skin soo bad like others like proactiv it goes on like cream im soo obsessed with acne.org products!!! they actually clear my acne ive tried EVERYTHING it either hurt or irrated my skin or did absolutely nothing wasted soo much money in ulta and sephora this is an amazing price for acne products i will continue to use this i hope it NEVER gets discontinueed

I have given this Regimen 3 tries over the past few years using it for 3-4 months, and each time I gave up because I couldn't live with the dry, red and damaged skin this product gave me. I used jojoba oil and moustirizer and staarted slow like Dan recommends but nothing helped. It DID clear my acne... but my face ended up looking worse than ever because of the side effects. People would think I am blushing 24-7 because my cheeks were always red!!! Not to mention BP causes red marks and scars to take much longer to fade. I believe in the power of BP to combat acne, but those with sensitive skin should stay away from this product! Its been 6 months since I last used BP and my skin is still recovering. Recently I've beeen using a 5% BP wash in the morningg only, and my skin reacted pretty well with minimum redness and dryness!

I've used this product for around 6 months (3 months on, break, and another 3 months). I have to say, it's the only thing that keeps me clear. I have severe acne and my first time trying it I was cleared up within 2 months. I continued to use it til I ran out. I stopped using the product and began to break out 3 months later. I am now back to using it and slowly, but steadily, getting back to clear skin. Although drying at first, I definitely love this product. It is one that i can't be without!

I have been using this for 6 months and its the only thing that has worked for me. Previously was on minocycline for 2 years, tazorac, benzaclin, epiduo differin and clyndomycin etc. Decided to give it a try when the new year started, it is june now and I have the cleared skin since it all started. I bought the whole kit at first, but then decided the treatment is the most important part. It goes on nicely, you don't really need to use quite as much as it recommends, I have been using 1 finger length morning and night at it works well for me. Seriously thy this, give it a good 2-3 month and you should see significant improvement. My sis loves it too!!

This is the best product ever. I highly recommend for everyone. As soon as I started using it, I could see the result of it. It would peels your face a little bit, but it is worth it the result.

I struggled with acne for many years and tried many different products. This is the only product that has been able to consistently control my acne to what is usually an unnoticeable level. I have been using the product for over a year and will continue to do so. Daniel Kern is a personal hero to me for creating this product.
