July 12, 2008

Pros:

calms skin, reduces flakes, helps acne

Cons:

makes me a bit shiny when the weather is hot (or maybe just doesn't combat shine?).

This is a very gentle product; even if it tingles a bit, it doesn't irritate the skin. It also works great as a spot treatment as well as for the chest, back and arms (I love it for my arms, it keeps them really smooth, none of those little bumps at all!). I have only used it for a few weeks and need to use it longer to know all the results.

Pros:

Cleared up some of my acne.

Cons:

Stained clothes yellow - burns/irritates skin - Balled up when used with BP

Not for sensitive skin types.

Pros:

Clears up my red marks, and also kills any new forming acne.

Cons:

The burn, but it is a good burn!

It will probably take a month for you to see results. I have been using it for 3 months and I just found out the more the merrier!

Pros:

Skin is BEAUTIFUL! Keeps pimples away and reduces redness. My skin looks incredible! My skin has cleared up dramatically in the past6 months (on the regimne) and this is the icing on the cake for me.

Cons:

Balls up after its dried but I can't tell if it my skin or the product...no biggie though!

This product is phenominal! You have to try it!

Pros:

The best product, and believe me I've tried many for years on out, in the market today. I felt the effects of the AHA (decreased redness, smooth skin, great skin tone) within a day. I love this as a substitute to Dan's moisturizer.

Cons:

None found yet and I don't believe I'll be finding one. Don't go in the sun but I use it at nighttime before sleep so I don't have that problem.

Dan should definitely include this in his regimen. I now use Dan's cleanser, BP, and this everyday and my skin has never looked better. If only others know about this there wouldn't be any more acne sufferers. It's the best kept secret. I love the licorice scent and there was alot more in the bottle than I expected and lasts a long time. The packaging and delivering mailed it to me in 2 days and I chose the cheapest method odf delivery. Dan, you saved my life. You Rock! I definitely want to try this with jojoba oil and I'm waiting for the bottle to come in. I think the best method for me to obtain perfect skin is a AHA-jojoba combo. I'll find out if it works and let you all know. Cheers =D

Pros:

I believe it moisturizes. Not sure if maybe I'm not consistent with this product, however, I dont break out from it.

Cons:

I'm not impressed with this product, very small changes (if any), it burns when it is applied but nothing too crazy. Was led to believe I'll fall in love with my skin but I'm not impressed.

Not sure.

Pros:

- smoothes skin tremendously
- in my opinion, it smells good.
- diminishes scars and red marks.

Cons:

- purging period

I have been using bp for about 2 and a half weeks, and I started using this a week ago, first without bp, then both at night. I dunno, I guess you're not supposed to.. but it didn't burn that bad for me. However I only use bp at night. Anyways, this product is amazing! And since bp is claimed to have aging effects on the skin, I love this because it counteracts that. On my scars, I've seen some improvement.. but not much yet, I'll see. For acne overall, I don't feel this helps much, but the flakiness from the bp is gone! Thanks Dan for sharing this amazing product, I love it! :)

Pros:

Smooths skin tone, evens complexion

Cons:

Balls up sometimes (maybe I'm using too much), makes you more prone to sunburn, leaves yellow marks on clothes

I tried using this instead of BP + moisturizer in the morning, and I stayed clear for about a month. Then I suddenly broke out very badly. Using BP + AHA in the morning and at night, my skin is clearing up very fast, and it's almost perfect now.

Pros:

Works on Back acne

Cons:

Doesn't work on face

Worst mistake of my life was putting this stuff on my forehead. It has caused dark spots which won't go ahead and cause my forehead to keep breaking out.
