Doesn't anybody find the smell really, really nauseating? I can barely bring myself to apply it to the skin near my nose. The first time I used it, I vomitted. But then again.. it worked pretty well, just that it makes the skin really dry and rough.

Really, it would be good, just that it didn't stink so much.... *sigh*

I started doing this regime like Dan recommended and it is cool because it cleared up my cystic acne breakouts really quick. But I keep breaking out. I have only been using it for 3 weeks but hey it is a heck of a lot better than anything else out there. A lot of my scars are gone and they have been there forever. I have very stubborn clearing cysts that can sometimes take 1-2 months to clear..... really bad. They were gone as soon as the next morning... weird but still breaking out :( I am going to try the gel because I have to mess with the white stuff with my makeup and I think that I irritate my skin since I have to keep messing with my skin to make it look alright. SUCH A PAIN THIS ACNE CRAP IS!!!!!!

I've been using this for a week and my skin is really clearing up. I've used almost everything out there from Retin A to Proactiv. I liked Proactiv the best, but it got way too expensive. This product has dried my face like craszy. My face is red and flaking. I constantly have white flakes all over no matter how much moisturizer I use. In addition, when I apply moisturizer, my skin stings so bad. It works, but I don't know how much more of this pain I can take.

I bought this one before I tried Dan's Bp gel. It doesn’t absorb into the skin very well, and rolls into tiny white balls if you apply makeup or lotion. I figured the dry red skin and the slight burning sensation was normal, But what I didn't expect was to find my face slightly swollen and my eyes to appear bruised. I found this interesting because I’ve never had a problem with allergic reactions before. Two days of burning skin later, Dan’s gel arrived and the swelling went away .

i have super oily face....and it drips literally with oil...
i never used dan's bp before.. ( i dun have a credit card, sighs) so i am forced to stick to Netrogena-on-the-spot..

..but hey, it works wonder for absorbing oil. it makes the face 99.55 % less oily than before.

PS: Netrogena on the spot is EXTREMELY HARSH, and i wasn;t able to apply it 2x a day. I only could do "once a day" for 5 weeks, and only managed to put 2x a day on the 6th week.... becareful, it is really harsh, but will work wonders after the 5th weeks or so

(but expect a serious breakout in week 5 before it adjusts)

not a bad if your skin is sensitive with bp. I prefer 5% bp so this was slow to work, required continued use and this also does not prevent your pimples from forming, new ones still came up! the DDF 5%bp with tea tree oil is the best thing i have ever used

Oh, I thought this stuff was okay. Then I started using BP gel, which turned out to be great. BP is completely worth the 12 bucks (or whatever it was).
