Pros:I LOVE this product. Over the past 3 months it has really cleared my skin up. No other product seemed to make a difference. It's easy to apply, it dries quickly, it looks fine under make-up and has basically just given me back my self-confidence!
Cons:The first 2 weeks it made my skin extremely dry and itchy, but I guess it was kind of my own fault as I may have started out too strong. Start by using a small amount and you should be fine.
Bottom Line:It's a real life saver. It's affordable and it works! Everyday I look in the mirror and I love what I see. My skin is smooth and clear for the first time in years. I've never looked better thanks to this amazing product. I will definitely continue to buy this!

Pros:It Works! I've tried several prescription antibiotics and creams, which did nothing. Dan's BP gel is the ONLY thing after a few years of having acne that improved my skin.
Cons:The first few weeks of using the BP made my face itch and reddened and burned if it got in my eyes; over time it decreased and now it doesn't even affect me.
Bottom Line:The key for me to having this work is to consistently wash my face twice per day; I notice a big difference if I even miss one washing. The Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer is very gentle and works great. I've also been taking 50mg of Zinc every day which may or may not help. ALSO: I must declare how important it is to stop picking at your skin. Be patient and it will work!

Pros:Goes on smooth, dries insanely fast, leaves me skin feeling so so so soft, and it actually WORKS!
Cons:It dries your skin out a little, but DUH, its BP, thats what it does. I said 3 for affordability because I'm a college student :P
Bottom Line:Dan's BP WORKS, it actually works. And it works fast. The pump is great because the amount is consistent and its amazing how you can buy a HUGE bottle of it. This product saved my life!

Pros:Great consistency. Goes on easily. Dries quickly. Totally clear. Soft, cool, soothing feel. No odor. Great under makeup and moisturizer. Convenient pump for consistent dosage size each time.
Cons:Absolutely none.
Bottom Line:Best BP product I've ever used. I've tried Persa-gel, Clearasil, Neutrogena and Proactiv, and Dan's 2.5% BP is the BEST of the best. It goes on fast, smooth, soft, and clear.

Once it's part of your daily routine, you won't even think twice about it -- it's SO EASY! It's not like the chalky white Neutrogena that has to be blended in just-so, or greasy Proactiv that takes forever to dry.

Dan's BP is the best product I have ever used on my skin. I can't say enough about it. I've been using it for over four years and I love the new 16-oz pump dispenser.

I use different types of moisturizer depending on the season, and all of them have worked great over this BP product.

One caveat: After four years, I have a few bleached-out pillowcases now, but I think it looks kind of cool. Sort of tie-dyed. I make sure to wash the bleached pillowcases regularly so I can use them instead of ruining any other pillowcases.

Pros:Gel based, goes on clear, easy to spread, quickly dries, very effective, doesn't irritate, cheap compared with alternatives
Cons:Packaging made it hard to dispense
Bottom Line:I love this product. I used to use a 10% BP cream. It would make my face extremely red and flake like crazy. I then discovered 2.5% BP and bought some of the Neutrogena On-the-Spot. I didnt like the cream because it took a while to absorb. The price of the tube is expensive seeing as it lasted me about a week. Then I discovered this. Its amazing. I recommend this to everyone.

Regarding my only con: I ordered the 2 oz sample to try and I am extremely satisfied. The packaging is slighly annoying because you have to squeeze the bottle and when you start to get low you have to open the top to get the remaining product out. I'm sure once i order one of the bigger bottles with the push down dispenser, my problem will be solved.

Pros:No fragrance. Does not irratate my skin. Drys quick. Does not feel like I have anything on my face once it drys.
Cons:Non
Bottom Line:I tried MANY of the over the counter acne products with ZERO success UNTIL I found Dan's 2.5% BP. The stuff cleared my adult acne almost immediately after using it only a month.
The 2.5% formula is mild enough to not irriate (my) skin while still delivering enough BP to take care of my acne.

Pros:i like how it goes on clear and has a very mild fragrance. other BP gels/ creams smell pretty awful in comparison.

it's easy to use and seems to be helping clear my skin quite noticeably. when i first started using it, my skin cleared up quick
Cons:i've been using it a few weeks now and though it cleared my face at first, i have just developed a few more zits. i had hoped the BP would prevent cystic acne altogether, but i guess ill have to wait longer for that to happen.
Bottom Line:is very agreeable with my skin, it dries it out but not too badly (dryness is taken care of with moisturizer anyway). it has pretty quick results, but i'm worried about whether the results will be consistent in the future since i've broken out a bit recently. i was pleasantly surprised by its effectiveness and would recommend it.
