Pros:

Not to dry, works fast!!

None

It really works for me. I've seen some reviews that said that it burned, well I don't know how bad they're skin is but for 5 people that I know and use the product it doesn't burn at all.

Pros:

Existing pimples vanished within 2 after first application. Within a week, no signs of new blemishes or newly forming pimples.

Cons:

Noticed the slightest increase of blackheads in areas that were not prone to them, ie: cheeks & around my facial hair area. Does dry out skin if overused.

After establishing my own NATURAL (honey, sugar, hydrogen peroxide) regime, I decided to add BP to the mix to see if I could enhance my results. I couldn't be happier. My skin hasn't been this clear in a long time. Plus, its really helping with the post acne marks that I dread. *TIPS for the side effects of BP* I only use BP at night. By cutting the dosage in half and finishing off with a little moisturizer, I found that I prevent the dryness its known for creating. Plus, since I'm wearing my pjs, I don't have to worry about bleaching my good clothes. And another tip for bleaching prevention is changing your bath towels and pillow cases to white.

Pros:

Worked extremely well at curing my acne. Cleaned up in about 4 weeks.

Cons:

Using the regimen it costs WAY too much for anyone on any kind of budget. The tube is wayaaay too small. The white cream clumps up when sweating and the "tinted" kind looks like make-up. Not cool for a highschool freshman.

I haven't used Dan's regimen for 4 years because of the cost of this product. I just purchased Dan's BP and am awaiting it's arrival. If Dan's BP is as good as this then I'll be overjoyed as my acne has flared up bigtime. This product works extremely well but if money is a problem for you then you might want to check other options.

Pros:

Works well
Consistency feels good
Helped clear up acne

Cons:

Price

This product works well. My regimen consists of washing my face with a purpose bar, and using this as my BP treatment. My skin type is pretty normal. It is not oily, but I still break out a lot. After a week of use this product has helped with new pimples, and started clearing up the old pimples within a few days. Will buy this product again.

Pros:

Nice little tube. Economic price.

Cons:

Does nothing for the pimples except being extremely drying to the skin.

Not recommended for treatment of acne. Maybe a tiny pimple. Better to use BP 2.5%.

Pros:

Works very well.

Cons:

Too expensive and tube seems to run out quickly.

I much prefer Dan's benzoyl peroxide, but this is easy to buy at your local drug store.

Pros:

it does kill the germ and clean the pore.

Cons:

hate rubbing it to my face. i feel i will have more wrinkle later. :P

i don't like this prodcut because it's so hard to massage into the skin and i feel i am wearing a geisha mask after it. and it's expensive with such a small tube. but it works. but i will stay with Dan's gel. it's easier to apply and it works quite ok too.

Pros:

No smell

Cons:

Burning feeling that lingers slightly
Made pimples worse
Irritation

I used this about two years ago (felt like I needed to put my two cents in) on this one spot on my chin. It burned a little, but I just shrugged it off since I thought it was just the product working. When I woke up in the morning, my chin felt a bit swollen. A day or so later, my chin had swollen into a half dollar sized boil. I went to the doctor and got some antibiotics for it. It went away in about a week and a half. I still have a dark scar from it.

Pros:

-Usually works on specific areas of the face
- Dries quickly

Cons:

-Dries skin out
-Do not use if you have very sensitive skin

The title of the product says it all, works on the spot. If you have psoriasis on certain areas of your face, do not apply on those areas, it will dry out the area further. Overall, the spot treatment worked for me.
