I’ve always made sure that Acne.org Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide – 2.5%) contained industry leading, pharmaceutical grade particles of Benzoyl Peroxide. However, the Benzoyl Peroxide inside Acne.org Treatment is now even more powerful, and you’ll notice it quickly. Your skin will get clearer faster, and will stay more reliably and completely clear.
Plus, with this improved Treatment, you no longer have to wait for your skin to dry between steps of The Regimen. So The Regimen now only takes a few minutes to complete.
A few of my volunteer product testers have told me that they can “feel it working.” Overall it has reduced irritation, but you may also feel it working a bit more than you did before.
What makes this Treatment even more powerful now? The Benzoyl Peroxide inside is ultra-micronized and evenly dispersed.
- Ultra-micronized: The Benzoyl Peroxide molecule is incredible at killing acne bacteria and peeling the skin. When it has smaller particles, it does its job that much better. The ultra-micronized, extremely tiny particles in this improved Treatment allow it to kill acne bacteria and peel the skin even more effectively.
- Evenly dispersed: Benzoyl Peroxide particles tend to agglomerate (attract one another) and form bigger particles as a product sits on the shelf. The Benzoyl Peroxide in this new Treatment fights this phenomenon, and stays evenly dispersed throughout the product’s shelf-life. Because every particle is evenly dispersed, this allows for increased surface area of Benzoyl Peroxide particles, which means they exert maximum power once inside pores. It also helps reduce irritation because there are no big particles around to irritate the skin.
I could talk about the science all day, but what matters is that it just flat out works better. In fact, it works so well that a few of my product testers have told me that they don’t even need to incorporate AHA+ (Glycolic Acid – 10%) into The Regimen to stay reliably and completely clear day after day. I’d be curious to hear from more of you on whether you are able to drop AHA+ from your routine now that Acne.org Treatment is even more effective.

Acne.org Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide – 2.5%)
The Regimen now only takes a few minutes. Read More
$12.05 – $37.38
After many years of Acne.org members asking me to produce and sell a 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide, I decided to go ahead and make this generously sized, gel-based 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide, and to make it as perfect as possible to use with The Regimen. That meant it had to be big so people had plenty of it, gel-based so it would spread easily and wouldn’t turn white when you perspire, and pH-balanced to keep irritation to a minimum.
Recently I’ve improved Acne.org Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide – 2.5%) even more, incorporating ultra-micronized, evenly dispersed particles of benzoyl peroxide. You’ll notice results right away. When used correctly, you can expect to completely clear up. Also, with this new Treatment, there is no need to wait for your skin to dry between steps of The Regimen. Now The Regimen only takes a few minutes to perform.
Why 2.5% strength?
Several studies show that 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide clears acne just as well as 10% solutions. Importantly, it also produces much less irritation. This is important for two reasons:
- Irritation of the skin can lead to more acne. It is very important to reduce irritation when it comes to acne-prone skin.
- Because 2.5% dries the skin less than 10% Benzoyl Peroxide, using a 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide makes a daily Benzoyl Peroxide regimen sustainable because it doesn’t overdry the skin.
What does ultra-micronized and evenly dispersed mean exactly?
The Benzoyl Peroxide particles in this Treatment are ultra-micronized, which means they are exceptionally small. This allows the particles to better penetrate into pores (sebaceous follicles), where they then kill acne bacteria (C. acnes), and gently peel the skin more effectively. This is why you will find that this Treatment clears you up so remarkably well and so quickly. This is also why you won’t find grittiness in Acne.org Treatment like you often do in other Benzoyl Peroxide products.
The tiny particles are suspended evenly in a gel matrix for even dispersement across the skin. This even dispersement facilitates complete penetration into pores and ensures that the Benzoyl Peroxide particles stay at maximum power. You may “feel it working” a bit more than before, but should find it less irritating.
How does Benzoyl Peroxide work?
Whether we are talking about the face or the body, acne problems start the same way. For reasons no one completely understands, a pore becomes clogged, trapping skin oil that normally drains to the surface. Inside skin oil lives acne bacteria, which multiplies in the clogged pore, and voila, a pimple is born.
Acne treatments usually target one of the two phases of a blemish’s life cycle, whereas Benzoyl Peroxide targets both:
- Preventing the initial clogged pore: Benzoyl Peroxide is a drying and peeling agent, unclogging pores and preventing new clogged pores.
- Killing acne bacteria: Out of any over-the-counter or prescription medication on the market, Benzoyl Peroxide kills bacteria the best. Studies show Benzoyl Peroxide kills over 99% of acne bacteria within minutes.
One more benefit of Benzoyl Peroxide that is still not completely understood is how it dramatically calms the skin and improves the overall complexion. You’ll notice after you use Acne.org Treatment for a few weeks that your complexion will transform from red and irritated to balanced, even-toned, and healthy looking.
To sum it all up, when you use enough 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide–especially ultra-micronized and evenly dispersed Benzoyl Peroxide–in the right way as outlined in The Regimen, it’s quite simply stronger than acne, and will leave your skin completely clear, balanced, and healthy.
How to use 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide?
The secret to using benzoyl peroxide is to use a lot of it (once you have slowly ramped up the dosage). This is why it was a no-brainer to make Acne.org Treatment only in large sizes.
It is also important to remember to stay gentle when you apply it. I often tell people to “go overboard with how gentle you stay when you apply it.” Use only a featherlight touch and allow your skin to do the work, absorbing the Benzoyl Peroxide on its own without rubbing. If after a minute or two it’s still not completely absorbed, just let the rest absorb on its own.
Important – follow The Regimen instructions precisely: Since I can’t say everything right here, be sure to read through The Regimen carefully before you start using Acne.org Treatment. You should start clearing up quickly and reliably if you follow it precisely. Many people find it helpful to bring the Regimen video into the bathroom with them the first couple of times they perform The Regimen until they have it down pat.
Reminder: I recommend that you add in Acne.org AHA+ (10% Glycolic Acid) after 1 month on The Regimen. It turbo-charges Benzoyl Peroxide, and provides insurance that you will stay completely clear.
What are the risks and warnings?
As with any Benzoyl Peroxide product, it is important that you start slowly with the amount that you use. Benzoyl Peroxide comes with what dermatologists refer to as the well-known “hardening effect.” This means that Benzoyl Peroxide causes redness, dryness, and itchiness in many people for the first few weeks until the skin gets used to it. While this is unavoidable to some extent, you can prevent some of the redness and dryness by being prudent and STARTING SLOWLY (notice how this is in all caps – trust me), with just a pea-size amount once a day for the first week, and then slowly upping your dosage and frequency from there.
Also, a very small percentage (about 1 in 500) of the population is allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide, which is evidenced by swelling and/or severe crusting. If you suspect you may be allergic, test it on a small area (the meaty part of the inner elbow is a good spot) for a few days before diving in.
Lastly, Benzoyl Peroxide can bleach dyed fabrics, so keep it away from clothing that you love. Benzoyl Peroxide may also bleach hair and eyebrows in some people to some extent.
Why is it so inexpensive?
I am able to offer such a large and high quality Benzoyl Peroxide at a low price and still make a profit due to my low overhead. Also, because you are ordering directly from me, there are no complex distribution channels or middlemen that inflate prices. Lastly, I do not advertise and have no marketing department (so please help spread the word about The Regimen on social media).
