| Pros | NOTHING |
|---|---|
| Cons | Dried my skin Free radical Doesn't cure the problem just masks it |
| Bottom line | I had a a bad breakout and resorted to benzoyl peroxide as a quick fix. It only exacerbated the problem making my skin so dry I couldn't even move my face, the skin started uncontrolabley peeling and became red. NO moisturizer helped I couldn't wear make up because my skin would flake off... I deeply regret this and now use tea tree oil on spots and it dries them up fast without overdrying the surrounding skin..,manuka honey and a sea salt scrub is an awesome exfoliator and moisturizer. benzoyl peroxide is a harsh chemical and although I will not deny that it works, the side effects are way too extreme. They are more holistic ways such as tea tree, mauka honey, vitamin supplements, diet change, and saw palmetto for hormonal acne. Give a more natural attempt a chance it's better for your overall health! |

| Pros | - Over the counter treatment - Made me realise that I have sensitive skin which completely changed how I treat my acne |
|---|---|
| Cons | - Severe redness, inflammation, itching - Spots still bad |
| Bottom line | I would advise people not to use this if they have sensitive skin like me. I used two different brands for months upon months at a time during my teens. I literally went through tubes and tubes of the stuff. The inflammation/redness DOES disappear eventually, but quite frankly isn't worth it. I had to walk around with a beetroot face for about a month with barely any results on top of it. I stopped using it on my face and used it on my back only but the itching became too much. Inflammation can make some people's acne worse, so you need to know your skin and whether benzoyl peroxide is going to be worth it. |

| Pros | Incredible product!!!!!!! Effective and quick working!!!!! I've been using it for a few weeks and my face is already clear from pimples. I hope this effect last 'cause it's GREAT!!!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | The basic dryness, nothing that the moisturizer can't resolve. At first the moisturizer kind of hurt my skin a little bit, I felt it a little strong, but right now it doesn't. I think my face was just getting used to it. The BP and the moisturizer really take a little long to dru out, so be patient. |
| Bottom line | The product is great, you must use it following every single instruction. Do not touch your skin!! Specially if its starting to dry up, cause you will hurt it. It takes a little longer to complete the whole procedure every day, so I recommend that you GET UP EARLY and do your regimen following every instruction. The whole treatkent is so worth it!!! |

| Pros | large quantities smooth and easy to apply no visible white residue |
|---|---|
| Cons | i was using 5% BP before this but when i started using this, i had lot of breakouts. It clogged my pores really badly. |
| Bottom line | it works for some but not for some. I guess my acne was quite bad as it was cystic ones. I'm sticking to the 5% and the jojoba moisturiser. |

| Pros | clears skin goes on smoothly feels good when you lather it on |
|---|---|
| Cons | dries your skin really badly takes time irritated the corners of my mouth and darkened my mouth area for a while have to keep using it |
| Bottom line | i didn't start having acne 'til my junior year of high school when i moved from california to massachusetts. i initially thought i started breaking out because of climate change. i've always had really clear/flawless skin and was one of those people who would stress over one or 2 pimples. i started using many various products which made me break out even more and i eventually developed terrible acne, all over. dark red/purple marks all over my cheeks and forehead. bumps on my chin. i freeeaaked out. i would never look people in the eye because my skin was so bad. i heard about acne.org and gave it a shot. within a month, it cleared the bumps on my face but i still had dark purple cysts on my cheeks, these didn't clear up til the 4th month of using benzoyl peroxide. i was pretty clear but still not satisfied because i had acne scars left on my right cheek. so i used ambi fade cream in hopes to clear it.....WAS A BIG MISTAKE. i put it all over my face and a couple days later, new pimples formed. so i suggest you really dont add in products. i was clear for a bit and eventually stopped using benzoyl because i ran out and didn't feel like ordering more. i began wearing makeup and well now im breaking out again. my fault. so now im back where i started. benzoyl really does help. You should consistently use it for results. At first your face will feel terrible and dry/flaky, you're going to hate it. I always got irritation around the corners of my mouth and it would darken my skin but eventually heal once my acne healed. So be patient, it really does work. I would say it takes a good 4 months if you have cysts and deep red marks like i did and if you never used this product before. Since I've used it in the past, it clears my skin faster when i get breakouts. The deep red scars took about 8 months to clear, so please be patient and don't pick at your skin. |

| Pros | Goes on smooth, you can feel it working. Its different than any other acne product ive tried, its much better than Pro activs BP cream. I like that its a gel because it feels so much better. |
|---|---|
| Cons | At first it really dries you out, but i would rather deal with a little dry skin than acne. |
| Bottom line | It works better than any BP out there. Its definitely worth the money |

| Pros | Worked for a short amount of time. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Started breaking out more. Increased redness. Swollen face. Burning/itchy sensation. |
| Bottom line | I used this product for a good 3 months , first few weeks of using this product my face was red and swollen.I did not stop knowing that BP usually causes those side effects in the beginning of using it.In about a month my face slightly cleared up,and so continued on using this product hoping to get a fully cleared up skin but...it got worst.My face would turn red again but even more than the previous times and I looked like a freaking tomato it was really embarrassing.I never really saw major improvements in fact I noticed more breakouts.Horrible expirience with this product |

| Pros | worked for 2 weeks |
|---|---|
| Cons | stopped working new pimples |
| Bottom line | It didn't work for me. I have taken about 1 hour each day for the past 3 months putting on Dan's Regimen. IT WAS THE BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME. WORKED FOR 2 WEEKS, AND THEN EVERYTHING CAM BACK. This is very frustrating, waste of time and money |

| Pros | It works! It does not flake up like the cream ones Makes you glow Affordable |
|---|---|
| Cons | Medical smell |
| Bottom line | I have been on the regimen for over a year, using "On The Spot" with good results. I was spending so much money buying those little tubes every week that I decided to buy Dan's huge bottle. I am so glad I did, it took me from good to great skin! I actually cured my acne by making this switch. The gel absorbs quickly and feels lightweight. The only negative thing is the smell, which is something I can live with if it means I can have gorgeous, smooth skin! |
