I have very sensitive, allergy prone skin. Most products I try don't work for me. This product is the best, and is on my list of products I can't do without. My older sister even noticed how great my skin was looking and asked what I was doing. Love it. Never want to be without it.

Pros

  • Affordable, Super Effective, Minimal Ingredients

Cons

  • None
  • moderate
  • for about a month
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I think this is a great product. Before using this I knew benzoyl peroxide works for me. I was using BP in a cleanser and for spot treatment, but had a really bad breakout over the summer and decided to look for something that would be more effective. But not harsh on my skin. This fits the bill. I have light acne with an occasional bad breakout. My breakouts always occur around my mouth. I've been using this for about a month and my skin looks and feels great. No breakouts! If do get something they go away quickly and usually now without coming to a head. My makeup goes on smoother. Also it's helped to reduce shine. I don't use a full finger's length though and i only put it on at night. Occasionally I'll put it on in the morning if there's a small breakout. I've been using this with Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser and Neutrogena Health Skin moisturizer w/ retinol. I recommend those products as well.

Pros

  • Absorbs completely. Can be worn under makeup easily. Reduces shine. Effective.

Cons

  • Drying and peeling during first weeks of use.
  • light
  • for about a month
  • $ 16
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I have had moderate acne since i was 12 (I'm 18) and I've tried almost every over the counter product, plus been perscribed Differin and another product which I forget the name of. Nothing worked long term.

I bought this product and used it in combination with Cetaphil face wash and oil free moisturizer from my derm. I followed the regimen exactly and it works AMAZINGLY. The first week or two I noticed a small difference but I figured why not keep going, so I did, and after 6 weeks my skin was clear. When I came home from school my family commented on how clear and beautiful my skin looked. This product is seriously the bomb. You DO have gorgeous skin under your acne and this stuff will make it show.

I just went backpacking for a month and couldn't wash my face, so I broke out a little, which shows you have to keep using this stuff. Get the big bottle.

Pros

  • Cleared up my skin

Cons

  • Took a long time
  • stings a little
  • you have to keep using it
  • moderate
  • for a few months
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I've been using Dan's BP gel since it first came out. I have been an acne sufferer since I was 11 (i'm 22 now). I have incredibly oily skin, sweat a lot on my face and had "pizza face" acne. I stumbled upon Acne.org a long time ago and followed Dan's Regimen (using other gentle, for-sensitive skin products) and my acne cleared up immensely. And the forums on this site, opened me up to some very interesting information and stories from other acne sufferers. I had no idea that acne was a huge problem in most people's lives, so it was nice to know i wasn't alone. It wasn't until i ordered my first BP gel off acne.org, that my acne cleared up almost clearly.

I have to stress the importance of being gentle with your skin...Wash gently, apply BP gently and moisturize adequately and GENTLY.

I have been an avid "picker" for 8+ years and it has been tough to keep my hands off my face.

Also, i noticed a difference between my recent BP purchase from the last one. The consistency has changed, and it was much harsher on my skin then the last batches. My skin turned beat red, slightly burned and was incredibly itchy. However I stuck with it, applying the product for an hour each day then washing it off, and i'm in my 4th week (on the new BP) and i can leave the BP on for 12 hours with no problem. This may just be an individual problem that affects me. But I've been using Dan's BP for almost 3 years, and this was the first time it's ever happened.

I absolutely love the BP products (including the AHA+) and recommend it to anyone.

Pros

  • Controls acne breakouts
  • Helps reduce/control oily skin
  • Consistency is weird, but in a good way
  • Love the chemical smell, not to strong
  • I have to mention the Acne.org customer service~Top-notch

Cons

  • Ordering it offline
  • New batch of BP made my face sensitive and brakout in a rash, however my skin became accustomed to it after a week.
  • light
  • for about a month
  • $ 60
  • I recommend using this treatment.

This really works and I'm really thankful for this product. It has cleared up my acne and people now compliment my skin.

This bp is not chalky and white like our bp products. It's actually gel-like and leaves no white patches on your face. It was not drying at all for me. In fact, I barely use moisturizer with it.

For a minute after applying, though, I tear up and my eyes get red. It goes away after a minute or 2.

The pump will not get all the product out but I still think this is a good deal since you get so much bp.

Much much much better than crappy neutrogena bp or persa-gel.

Pros

  • Cleared up my acne!
  • Feels very different from other bp (in a good way)
  • Leaves my skin really smooth
  • Not drying at all (for me at least)

Cons

  • Makes me tear up after applying
  • Pump will not get all of product out...you will have to cut it.
  • moderately severe
  • for a few months
  • $ 44
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I went a head and bought the treatment thinking it would dry up the pimples, but after using it for a month my skin was peeling horrendously on both sides of my cheeks, because of the strong bp; and i got dark dried patches on each side. Thinking those dark dry spots would good away, i continued using the bp but the dry patches left(a lot) of small specs of dark reddish scars which i did not have before starting the regimen now i have to deal with the scars how great!

Pros

  • none

Cons

  • Left me with acne scars on both sides of my cheeks and chin noticeable dark marks which had disappeared after using proactiv.
  • moderate
  • for a few months
  • $ 21
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.

Overall, this product is good. I started Dan's acne plan about 4 months ago. I had never bought ANYTHING online before, but i was desperate, as my acne had flared up (I was previously on accutane, and for about a year my skin was beautiful! but after that year, my skin went back to what it had been before accutane treatment). I did not want to buy this product, as it had only 2.5% bp instead of the 10% bp i was using. However, i did not notice a difference between 2.5% and 10%; both worked the same for me, and I bought this one because it was cheaper. This is NOT a cure to acne; I still continued to break out, but my pimples were much smaller in size and redness. I gave this item a 3 because it did not cure my acne; it helped, but I was very disappointed that it was not an acne "cure." Overall, though, the regimen is probably the most effective (and safest) acne plan I have tried.

Pros

  • no yucky smell
  • non greasy
  • reasonable price (except for shipping and handling)
  • can wear during the day because it does not make face super oily/greasy
  • not tested on animals

Cons

  • only 2.5% bp (see comments below)
  • VERY drying when i first started the regimen
  • moderately severe
  • for a few months
  • $ 20
  • I recommend using this treatment.

Great product. My skin has "adjusted" to it so now, I don't even need the 2 full pumps that Dan suggests. I plan to keep buying in the future. :))

Pros

  • After about 3 months of usage, my face has never been so clear before. It works great at keeping acne at bay.

Cons

  • It bleaches fabric...my originally blue blanket is now a neon green. Scary, I guess?
  • It takes time to put on, especially if you are following Dan's regime.
  • moderate
  • for a few months
  • $ 32
  • I recommend using this treatment.
