Pros:

CLEARED UP MY SKIN
I have TRIED EVERYTHING!!
Only thing that has worked for me!

I USED 3 PRODUCTS... 1st step- MURAD CLARIFYING CLEANSER- morning and night (i did 2 washes with this at night b/c i wear alot of make-up and only 1 in the morning) 2nd step DDF GLYCOLIC CLEANSER- monring and night (i did 1 wash of this at night after the murad clarifying cleanser and wash in the morning after the murad cleanser) 3rd step- NEUTROGENA ON THE SPOT ACNE TREATMENT- morning and night (I used ALOT at night a very thick layer all over face and less in the morning to go under my make-up) I had very severe acne all over my cheeks and chin and this really did clear my skin. Now, if you have sensitive skin I would reccommend that you only cleanse at night to start.

Pros:

Clears acne! It's a good emergency acne treatment. I had a big pimple right on my forehead. It was stark red and nothing would get rid of it. So I went to walmart and bought this. It was amazing! It made my pimple smaller just after 1 use!

Cons:

It comes in a small tube for $5.00. Sort of hard to apply.

BUY IT!!! It is a little bit expensive, but it's totally worth it. My big red pimple became smaller just after 1 use! It's a good emergency acne treatment. Don't buy the other acne treatments. Some of them have 10% benzoyl peroxide, but it irritates your skin! This one only has 2.5 % benzoyl peroxide, but it works just as well as a 10% one. Good luck! You're on your way to clear skin.

Pros:

It works. It got rid of my big red painful pimple in 2 days.

Cons:

The bottle could have more for the price. What people don't realise is a little goes a long way.

A little goes a long way with this product. If you use too much then you will run out faster. My painful pimple that started on thursday hurt so bad wicked bad. Then I bought the product and on friday it was a little smaller, and saterday more small, by Sunday it was not there anymore.

Pros:

I put it on in the morning before school, and at night before I sleep, and it clears up any small pimple I get in about 5 days.

Cons:

It's lotion like, so it seems like it would be oily.

It's a great product.

Pros:

Did reduce some inflamation

Cons:

Made skin REALLY dry, and almost burnt. Never made the spots completely go away.

This doesn't work, try something a little more on the upscale side. You get what you pay for.

Pros:

Helps my big pimples but not the small ones.

Cons:

It is so expensive! And it takes a while to work for me.

I am 14 years old and i just started to get a lot of acne on my forehead and above my lip. I found Dan's website and i decided to try this out. I like the Neutrogena On-the-Spot treatment but it makes my skin very flaky even when I moisturize. What i use: 1) Cetaphil cleanser 2)Neutrogena on-the-spot treatment 3)Cetaphil moisturizer

Pros:

It goes on smooth- aborbs fairly well but dries quickly. Its great for prevention (if your skin is clear), and for controlling (if you have tiny, barely noticeable zits)- it usually clears up small break outs in a day or 2.

Cons:

If you have a massive, pussy zit already erupting- it doesn't appear to have much impact on it; and tends to make the area immediately around the irritated area dry and flaky.

I actually discovered this a few years ago and always recommend it to friends. Its such a tiny tube and is pricey depending on where you buy it- ranging from $6-$9... A tube can usually last me about 6 months. But I haven't used it as part of Dan's Regimen- his method would surely cause you to go through it a lot faster. But it really is good for prevention, so I would recommend it if your in the prevention phase of the Regimen- thus making it worth the expense.

Cons:

Made my skin very dry and red
Did not work after 6 months of continued use
I recommend Sodium Sulfacetamide

I thought this would be the cure all for me but it was not. I was very disappointed that it was not but my dermatologist says this product actually hurts the skin even more.

Pros:

Clears off my skin. I can see how the pimple gets smaller from one day to other.

Cons:

Small package and kind of expensive. It's a white cream, kind of noticible in the mornings. I cannot find it easily outside US.

It really works, but you end up spending a lot of money.
