I love the bottles, please don’t switch. Maybe you could do 8 oz tubes only for tube people and 16 oz bottle for bottle people. Tubes bother me, you have to pick it up and squeeze. The germphobe in me always thinks about all the bacteria I’m getting from touching the tube and then putting it on my face. I like the consistency of “two pumps” and it makes less mess with no caps to deal with. I am pro bottle all the way! I want an AHA bottle too! I’m bottle crazy!

Dan,

Do not switch back to tubes mate!
Bottles are very handy, when you are washing your face and have BP and cleanser and AHA and Tea Tree and all these things around, opening lids and squeezing is very annoying.

It is fantastic to be able to just push down on a squirty nozzle, instead of picking up the bottle and squeezing, because that way you get the BP all over the bottle and later it transfers to something else and eventually reaches a towel or clothes and stains.

At least offer both mate..

i always preferred the old tubes (i even preferred the old light blue color and logo). they were much, much easier to cut open to get the last remainders out. the bottles are hard as hell to cut open without mangling yourself.

Hi Dan

I know I’m a little late in commenting! But I just wanted to let you know that I do prefer the tubes and the Toddle (sorry if I’ve spelt that wrong) would be great- I always buy in big sizes as I live in the UK and it’s much more cost effective for me. Plus as you can cut into them much more easily and use the product left inside- saving more money

wow. 50% seem to go with bottles while the other 50% swear by tubes… hmmm… the traveling thing shouldn’t be an issue since you’ve come out with new travel sized stuff. either way, dan, i don’t think this is going to be a deal breaker one way or the other for all of your loyal followers. we trust your good judgment and the fact that you have our basic interests at heart.

I know most people do not like jars, but what about jars?

I like the bottle. Two pumps. Finito.

I’m a fan of the bottle as well. I agree that it’s less travel-friendly but the pump is very convenient and produces less mess, i’ve never had a problem tapping out the very last bit of bp, and for some reason I think they look a lot more professional than the tubes did.

I personally like the bottle but wasn’t using acne.org yet when the tube was around. I am concerned about the portion amount also. I don’t want to waste extra and like the simple two pump rule. Hmmmm….I’m not sure what to do here. Also curious about the price difference.

Yay! Tubes are coming back!
I actually prefer tubes than the bottle. Since I don’t use a lot of BP, sometimes I press too hard and too much BP comes out. Which is why I prefer tubes or the “toddles”… which looks pretty nice!

I honestly like the bottles – I like having the bigger sizes – we don’t run out as fast, but the tubes were okay, too. OOOH – I like the toddles – if you can have the larger one in the toddle that would be great!

And Dan, it makes me so proud to know that you really do listen to the feedback that people leave here for you in these comments and on the boards. Very, very proud to be a part of such a wonderful place with such a wonderful guy heading all of this!

I agree that the tubes and “toddles” are alot easier to travel with, but to be honest I really do not care for them so much that I would be willing to pay more if given a choice. Bottles are perfectly fine for me and I also love the idea that I can count pumps to keep a steady progression (starting on week 3) on the amount of BP that I use. Don’t stress too much about it, even if you poured the products into grocery bags I would still use them faithfully. Also if you do plan to boost prices let us know in advance so I can order a ton of product for cheaper.

My two cents: Give a choice between tubes and bottles during checkout. (if it is not too complicated for the manufacturer of course)

And I was just getting to like the bottles after originally liking the tubes better. I think the tubes will be better for people that need to travel with them and still have a good amount. Also, as mentioned, they will be easier to cut open and get the rest out. But I do really wish there was a cost effective way to bring back the 4 oz tube and leave everything else as is. Does anyone really want a huge 8oz tube or gigantic 16 oz “tottle”? I think people just wanted the regular old bp tube back as it was perfect for at home and traveling. And with so many users having started the regimen on the 1 or 2 pumps system, this might be hard for everyone to get used to. Either way, the product is great no matter the packaging, so I am sure whatever happens will work out.

Hey Dan,

You said you’re trying to keep cost low. Does that mean the price would increase if we switch? just wondering.

Thanks for listening.
