Pros:

Unbelievable results on my skin. I have used many many products to clear my skin (accutane, minocycline, differin gel, retin-a). This with the regimin has made my skin so soft and lightened dark marks.

Cons:

It does ball up a little if you use too much. Burns a little if skin is too dry.

This is a must buy for me! It is awesome.

Pros:

Good value for money if it works for you.

Cons:

Stings on applications. Broke me out.

I had been using Dan Kern's BP treatment for a few months with great success and my acne virtually cleared until I started using the AHA. It broke me out instantly, I kept using it hoping it was just an initial reaction that would clear once I got use to it, but after a month of continuous breakouts I had to get rid of it.

Pros:

Great volume for the money, doesn't sting, great AHA product to help with red marks.

Cons:

If used with certain other cremes can clump up but this is a very minor issue.

Great product, I was skeptical because I don't know if Dan has a degree in chemistry, etc, but it is a great product.

Pros:

Cleared my skin, yay! Made it soft and smooth, got rid of clogged pores. A little goes a long way.

Cons:

Stings a bit sometimes but nothing too bad. Have to avoid the sun, but one should do that anyway.

I love this product. I use it as suggested in the book "The Acne Cure". In the morning I wash my face in the shower and apply a little bit of the lotion to my wet skin. I leave it on while I shower and wash it off with just water before I get out. I use Avene Clean-Ac Moisturizer mixed with a few drops of water. In the evening I wash my face and dry it. I put a little of the lotion in my hand and add a few drops of water and massage it on my face. I leave it on for 5 mins to an hour depending on how much time I have and then I wash it off with water. After my skin is dry I apply Dan's BP Treatment which I also love. My skin is almost perfect, only left-over red marks are there and a few clogged pores which come out easily. It has also worked great on my back and on clogged pores on my chest and arms.

Pros:

Great exfoliating. Pleasant scent. Easy transition from Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion (NHSFL), and has a higher concentration of AHA than NHSFL. Economical. I wake up with dewy, smooth skin. Packaging makes it easy to dispense.

Cons:

Texture a little thick, which can make it a bit hard to spread around. It also tends to ball up a bit.

I'm a fan. If it were a slightly thinner texture and didn't ball up, I'd be a huge fan.

Pros:

Evens out my skin tone and fades some new scars (for old scars, not much improvements). Reduces some black and white heads on my cheeks and nose. Controls some flaking issues as well.

Cons:

High shipping cost. Stings a little upon application. Packaging is not so good quality. Some parts of the plastic was split open by the time I received it. But I scotch tape it back anyway. Not a big problem though as the content did not leak.

I've been using it for 2 weeks and I breaks out a little initially. I think the skin needs some time to get use to it. The fragrance might be overpowering initially but after using for a while, it's actually smells nice. :)

Pros:

Skin did improve on the majority of my face

Cons:

It caused big red bumps on my chin, I only used it twice and had to stop using it, the bumps are now beginning to clear up

I was 99% percent clear before using it, I just wanted a good way to exfoliate my skin, but unfortunately this wasn't for me, my super sensitive skin couldn't handle it and it caused cystic acne on my chin. It is an excellent product though if your skin isn't as reactive.

Pros:

Very light feel, evens out complexion and calms acne instantly. Moisturizes face very well. Goes on like silk.

Cons:

Tingles a bit when first applying, but only for about 5 seconds. Leaves skin slightly shiny.

Very good product that will even out your complexion and completely soothe active acne.

Pros:

effective spot treatment

dan suggests to put a glob of this as a spot treatment if a blemish starts to form...this works great for me. if you have sensitive skin then 10 pct aha may be too strong for all over face, which i have not tried yet.
