Pros Calms my skin down right away, even when I feel an inflammatory spot starting, this will calm it down and stop it from getting worse. My face just feels healthier now, and I'm not getting any peeling like I did with 10% BP. So I'm a convert ot the 2.5%, and this really is the best bang for your buck (no fragrances, fillers, or acne-causing ingredients like in Clearasil).
Cons Takes a while to dry; can be drying if used without moisturizer.
Bottom line Please keep making this product, my face really likes it!

Pros Clear and smooth
Cons Made me break out more
Clumps under the moisturizer
Hard to put makeup on top of it
Bottom line I paid 8 bucks for shipping for a bottle of BP hoping that it would clear my horrible acne. Instead, I broke out even more after a month of us and I got new scars on my face now. I followed the regimen religiously, which involves Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer. It's what he recommended before he decided to make money out of it. Worse yet, it clumps under with the moisturizer and makeup. Nothing like he promised about it being smooth as a gel. If you are not applying anything on top of it, then it's a good clear product. It was a total waste of my money.

Pros Seemed to slow down active acne inflammation
Cons Very drying, Allergic reaction & isn't available at a local store
Bottom line It's really a shame because I was looking forward to using this product. However upon trying it I had a BAD allergic reaction with my eyes. I can use the product around my face as long as I don't use a lot and not around my eyes so It defeats the purpose of the regimen. It does slow down active acne from growing in size and would probably work well for those who don't have sensitive skin.

Pros clears up skin
Cons read down there!
Bottom line okay, so i have tried EVERYTHING out there, in fact, my search for a good treatment made me want to be a dermatologist so that no one has to go through this. anywaysss, i bought this BP and tried it for about a week, it completely dried out my face and i could barely move my mouth, so i quit using it. then i came back on the site and read more about it. i decided to buy the jojoba oil and give it another shot, the jojoba oil was awesome, however i still had major flakes. so i was thinking that maybe the pure BP was a bit too harsh on my skin, so i mixed the BP, olay moisturizer, and jojoba oil together and gave it a third go. worked like a charm!

so basically the point of the story: if its too drying for you then mix it with a moisturizer. i promise it will work!

Pros Clears up acne from hours to days, works really,extremely fast, Best acne treatment ever no doubt!. Cheaper than most acne treatments.
Cons It takes soo long to dry
Bottom line I've been using alot of acne treatments for the last 3 years or so and never was satisfied to any of it. I've used Proactiv solution for about a year but never worked as what i expected it to be. Proactiv never really cleared up my face which they actually claim to be the best acne treatment worlwide. I wasn't satisfied with the results so i decided to use Dan's regimen and after 2 weeks i quickly took the phone and cancelled my proactiv account and ended up refunding my proactiv. This stuff is just tottaly amazing!!! I recommend it to everyone and surely you would never ever move to any other products one you have tried this!

Pros It has cleared up my cystic acne. For me it actually absorbs into my skin fairly quickly and it does not ball up or get clumpy under moisturizer. I use the large pump bottle, so it is also easy to know exactly how much product to use (2 pumps worth). I live in Canada, so the shipping was also quite quick, and I just used the regular mail shipping option.
Cons It is very drying, so find a good moisturizer. In the beginning your skin may get worse before it gets better - but don't give up! It will also 'bleech' your towels and clothes it you are not careful. If I got some of the product too close to my eyes, they would get a little irritated and get a little watery.
Bottom line I have fairly severe cystic acne, mostly on my chin. I have had some success with similar products before (proactiv, other BP creams etc.) but nothing has worked as good as this. I believe it's because of the amount of the product that you need to use and giving the product time to work. In the beginning, my skin actually got a lot worse then normal. I'm on my third month now and have had clear skin (ie. no new blemishes, big or small) for a few weeks. This was unheard of for me before. I used to get a new pimple every day or two, and they were usually large inflamed cysts. I'm really thankful for all the hard work in getting the product made, and for everyone's reviews. For anyone wondering if they should try it - the answer is yes!

Pros -Smooth and easy to apply
-Clears up acne fast!
Cons -Drying
-Can cause serious flakes if you don't use a good moisturizer
Bottom line This is the best Benzoyl Peroxide on the market, period. I started Dan's regimen a few months ago and my skin has never looked better. This BP is drying (they all are) but with a good moisturizer (I use Dan's) and a lot of jojoba oil the dryness is easy to control. I honestly think this is the best acne medication available. As long as you use this and moisturize religiously you will see an big improvement in your skin-- trust me, I've tried everything, and this has by far given me the best results.

Pros works!
Cons personal feeling that it is harsh on the skin.
Bottom line Skin type: sensitive combination skin

I'm 20 years old and have been using this since I was a little over 18. IT HAS CLEARED ME UP! When I returned home from college, I received comments about how much clearer my skin has become! I used the product exactly as Dan instructed. As Dan said, this won't perfect your skin, but will make a big improvement! I am proof!

An 8oz bottle lasted me almost a year and a half! (I only used once a day on problem areas though. I found it to be drying on the area between my nose and upper lip, but then again I do have sensitive skin.) You must use with moisturizer or else your skin will be very dry. It does increase sensitivity to sun, but all benzoyl peroxide does that. Use sunscreen! I recently just placed my second order (year and a half later)!

The price I paid was for an 8oz bottle and shipping to NY.

I strongly recommend this product, but be sure to watch Dan's videos for instructions and recommendations.

Cons none. just use a nice moisturizer so you don't get dry/red :)
Bottom line BUY THIS PRODUCT!

Pros I am clearing up. It's my 5th week of being on Acne.org products.
Cons Dry flaky skin. Break outs continued.
Bottom line I feel my acne are more due to stress and hormones. This product would have worked better if i was not under so much stress. I probably go through much more stress than a normal individual. Its my school and my accelerated medicine program. I started this during my break and it worked pretty good initially but as soon as school started, i am down again. I am going to keep up with the regimen as it helps with inflammation and scars. But i am going for a hormone test next week and decide if spiro would be a good option or not. Hope this helps. I would say definitely give it a try. I feel much better than not being on the regimen.
