Pros None
Cons Leaves a white residue
Balls up when moisturizing
Expensive
Dries to quickly
Bottom line Just don't do it! The fact is you will be wasting your money. It balls up and flakes off so easily. Not worth the time or effort.

Pros none...
Cons leaves white streaks. balls up when applying moisturizer. extremely expensive. runs out quickly... need i go on?
Bottom line If you are on the regimen and can afford to go through a tube of this probably every few weeks, you might as well buy Dan's BP because in reality you're going to save so much money and it works so much better. Dan's BP is a gel, which goes on perfectly and invisibly. This stuff is a cream so you have to rush to apply it and even then it still dries and leaves white streaks. Then just when you think it's dry, you apply your moisturizer, only to find out it wasn't really dry because it's balling up and coming off again. Ugh! don't waste your money people.

Pros Smells Nice
Cheap
Cons Doesn't do anything
Bottom line This is the first acne treatment I have ever bought (when I was 10 now im 12). It's the smallest f**king tube ever and IT DOESNT DO ANYTHING. Since it's a cream, it didn't absorb it just dried into a little crust on my face. DON'T PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT.

Pros -Reduces Redness
-Dries out existing acne
Cons -Does not help with preventing new acne from forming
Bottom line I would recommend this product if you have light acne, but for moderate to severe types, it's not worth wasting the time or money.

Pros Works quickly
Removes redness
Reduces swelling
Cons Price
Slightly drying
Bottom line I came across the regimen about a month ago. I have tried soooo many things and spent sooo much money trying to find products that would work for my skin. I decided to first purchase On-the-Spot before purchasing Dan's BP (just to make sure I would have the same results I've heard so much about). I used it twice a day following Dan's regimen and I couldn't be happier.

My skin has never been so even toned and clear! I first cleanse with Cetaphil gentle cleanser, then (after waiting five minutes to dry) I apply the 2.5% BP. I finish it off with Cetaphil lotion. Since the tube is so small (.75 oz), I decided it would be more beneficial to order Dan's BP. Hopefully it will work just as well!

My only complaint (aside from spending eight dollars for a tiny tube) is that it is slightly drying. But a good moisturizer should help that. There is a slight burning sensation as well, but it's not painful. It kind of feels like a minor sunburn. As I continued to use the BP, my skin got used to it and the burning sensation disappeared after time.

Pros Does what it is supposed to.
Cons Very expensive.
Cream Based.
Small Container
Bottom line This stuff does the same thing that Dan's BP does but there are some pretty drastic differences. The first being the cost. It is $6 for a .75 ounce tube. Insane considering how much you are supposed to use. The second downside is that it is a cream and not a gel. This makes it sit on top of the skin and made it impractical for anytime other than at night. I used it while I was waiting for Dan's BP to come in the mail and it got my face good and adjusted for Dan's. After trying Dan's BP for just one day I will never go back. There really is no comparison.

Pros Relatively inexpensive
Seemed to help with smaller break outs
Cons VERY DRYING
I found that leaving it on overnight left me with red blotches on my skin in the am
Bottom line I am kind of iffy on this product. I have mild acne, usually only experiencing break outs the week prior to my period. I found that while this product did in fact dry out the pimple, it would often leave my skin red and irritated, almost impossible to conceal with makeup, which was often more embarrassing than the breakout itself. It was also very drying, leaving my skin flaky in treated areas. Basically, the product may help reduce the size and longevity of your pimple, but battling the redness and dry skin is almost worse.

Pros dries clear
did help some of my acne
Cons to small of tube for the price
can be drying
only works on small pimples that just formed
makes acne cysts swell to a bigger size
Bottom line this did nothing for me in clearing my acne. It only worked for awhile and then did nothing for me anymore. Finally i started using acne free severe and it cleared my acne up dramatically. This did nothing and i do not recomend it for people with more than the ocasional brake out
Price paid $10.00
