Haven't started the regimen yet and am still debating on whether the shipping charges are worth paying for Dan's products or whether I should start the regimen using drugstore OTC products. What does everyone else do?

I use Dan's Regimen BP and moisturizer, and an Oxy cleanser. I used to use both an Oxy cleanser and an Oxy BP, as well as Cetaphil moisturizer, because of the inconvenience of online shopping and shipping.

What made you change your mind about using the drugstore products and switch to Dan's BP and moisturizer, if I may ask?

I ordered Dan's BP a while ago.. customs charges kind of hit hard but they do last a good while. The bulk size is godly compared to the small tubes that you'll see in any store.

Im not from Canada but Dans products work pretty well and you get what you pay for. You also get a lot more than you would in a drugstore

Heh, I actually would not be using Dan's products right now if he hadn't given me a fraction of the prize from this. tongue.gif

Now that I have the products though, I really like them, and I think I'll be buying them in the future if I can. Certainly better than what I was getting over-the-counter.

I definitely agree that the products themselves are VERY reasonably priced, but the fact is that shipping a $37 starter kit to Canada would cost (according to the shipping calculator) around $20, more than half the price of the products! The sad thing is, even with shipping, it's still less expensive than Proactiv, but if I could get the same results using over the counter products I would save a lot of money. However, two things keep me from buying most over-the-counter products:
1) I try not to use any cosmetic products that are tested on animals. Most common brands of BP I've found are.
2) You can't seem to get 2.5% BP in decent sized tubes over here. They're all very small.
