Pros -Fits well into Dan's regimen
-Only 2,5% BP I could find in my city
Cons -You have to apply it fast because it starts to dry and peel if you pass your fingers over it.
- Leaves white residue
-Peels throughout the day, it looks like if your skin is peeling from a sunburn
Bottom line I would suggest it but the product definitely leaves room for improvement. It does help with the acne.
Price paid $7.00

Pros works well when used according to dan's regimen; 2.5% BP formulation available; not too expensive (about $15 for a month's worth); doesn't burn too badly even in the first weeks; widely available.
Cons chalky white residue before you apply moisturizer; after you apply moisturizer it ends up looking and feeling like peeled skin; flaking/peeling is very noticeable.
Bottom line this is a decent product that works well if you follow the regimen exactly, and if you can deal with the annoyance (and occasional embarrassment) of having flakes/peeling skin on your face that you can't see (and can't touch!). if you use jojoba oil it will help!!

Pros nothing
Cons made my skin red
white residue left on skin
did not get absorbed well
Bottom line This was a bad product. I bought it because I did not want to wait/pay for shipping for Acne.org product but found I really should have.

This product did nothing for my acne
and did not work with Dan's regime.

Pros Great for fair, sensitive skin
Bottom line I started getting bad acne in my T zone at the age off 33. Nothing was working. I bought this and apply a VERY small amount to my T zone and follow the regimen morning and night. I cannot remember a time when my skin has been this clear in the last year and the only thing I have changed in my daily routine is adding this product.

To combat the drying effects I add some Argan oil after applying under my regular moisturizer (argan oil has similar sebum regulating qualities as jojoba)

If you have light acne I highly recommend this.

Since I use such a small amount I think this will last me a good 8 months.

Dan from San Francisco
July 21, 2010
Pros It has a very light feel to it and feels good going on. I really enjoyed its "payoff" as they call it in the cosmetics industry--it's been formulated to really feel nice upon application.
Cons Small bottle (25mL, .8oz) is gone before you know it. Dries white in patches. This whiteness goes away after moisturizing, but the whiteness can come back after perspiring, much like other creamy lotion based BP.
Bottom line Superior to Neutrogena On-The-Spot, Inferior to a gel based benzoyl peroxide.
Price paid $7.50
