Pros:

It comes in a small bottle for travel. Soposed to clear your acne.

Cons:

Quite expensive, sometimes over-dries the skin.

This product is not really that afforable but give it a try. I am doing the acne.org regimen and I am only on week 3. I haven't seen much of an improvement yet so....

Pros:

This BP on the spot is not over-drying. It worked for me in about a month.

Cons:

The tube is small for such a high price. YOu have to apply alot and do it religously.

I now have friends and family coming up to me say that my skin looks great. I tried everything, from just face wash to tetracycline to benzaclin. This is the only product that has helped at all (I tried differin too).

Pros:

None.

Cons:

I'm normally quite all right with BP but this one burns my skin. I don't even have the burning problem with Oxy 10% BP. But this one burns my skin so badly. It also itches wherever I apply it. My acne doesn't heal at all too.

I wouldn't recommend this to someone with sensitive skin. Burns and leaves a dark scar, itches like crazy. Quite expensive for such a small tube too.

Pros:

It reduces my acne fast and it doesn't dry out my face as bad as other BP products. It clears up my skin within a week.

Cons:

a little expensive for such a small tube. It ran out quickly

Out of all BP products I've ever used, this seems to be the best one that helps reducing my acne dilemmas tremendously. Though, it's a bit expensive compared to its quantity, but it's worth the money. I'd rather spend this money for a clean and clear face than spending money on products that don't even help anything.

Pros:

Pricey :(

Cons:

Very effective for me!

I have slightly oily face and I've been suffering from occasional acne for a year but it wasn't as bad as what happened to my face about 3 months ago or so. I had a very irritating breakout! I had huge cystic acne all over my cheeks, jaw area and especially the forehead. My forehead had it worst. It was sooo itchy and stingy as if there was a huge needle pinching my forehead. The pimples were also piling up, literally, on top of each other. It made me feel so miserable and couldn't help crying over it. I don't want to make the situation worst then it already is so I researched over the internet and I found out about the regimen then I researched the products that I'd like to try first and I just feel so lucky because it worked for me and I don't have to try anything else! Here are what I use: Cleanser = Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash BP = Neutrogena On the Spot Acne Treatment Moisturizer = Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion Now, after 21 days, I'm only left with marks +

Pros:

Made larger pimples go away.

Cons:

Caused a lot of smaller acne bumps, dried up skin, feels a bit tight and heavy on the forehead.

Although this made a huge zit go away in about 2 or 3 days, it didn't work any miracles and gave me a lot of smaller bumps that annoyed me even more.

Pros:

not too irritating

Cons:

too expensive for such a small tube

I love this product. I had a slight feeling of irritation, but it's totally tolerable and disappears in a few days. The most important thing is it ACTUALLY WORKED! It seems to prevent acnes and works great on existing ones. I'll keep using it even though it's ridiculousely expensive for me to get it shipped here.

Pros:

It works really well at clearing up acne, as long as you use it consistently, and use it along with the rest of the regimen. It absorbs well, and it smells decent.

Cons:

It can be a little bit costly. It can irritate your skin if you have sensitive skin, but it wasn't a problem for me. It also comes in a very small tube.

As long as you use this with the rest of Dan's regimen, it should work well. Even though it only comes in a small tube and it costs a bit much for the size of the tube, I think it's worth it, because it does a very good job at getting rid of acne.

Pros:

Definitely improved my skin. It got rid of a lot of little "bumps" on my forehead and decreased the amount of larger acne.

Cons:

Dried out my skin a lot...so use moisturizer! (I recommend Aveeno daily moisturizing cream that comes in a small jar.) Never quite cleared my skin up.

One of the best products I've tried! Though I saw improvements and would recommend it, it did not completely clear my skin up and I still went through some "difficult times".
