Pros:

works incredibly well and quickly. Gets rid of the small pimples and greatly reducing the bigger ones.

Cons:

Extremely Drying before moisturizer is put on. but once skin is moisturized, not a problem-- although there some irritation.

Something about the fact that this is a thicker cream consistency as opposed to a watery gel make it seemingly more effective and potent. I tried Dan Kern's gel and it dried out my skin tremendously, because it was a gel and it required so much of it. A cream just works better for sensitive skin in general.

Pros:

Eventually the pipmple heals

Cons:

They say it yoru pimple heal sin 8 hours... IT DOESNT! it took me like about a week. Plus it burns. And the packaging is TINY compared to how big it looks on advertizment. 8 dollars is not so much, but honestly its not worth it. Id rather wait.

Doesnt work. Burns Skin.

Pros:

I've used this product for a while, and it works great! Being only 2.5% concentration, it's gentle on the skin, and does a great job getting rid of mild to moderate acne.

Cons:

Pricey for the amount you get. Plus, make sure you carry a cloth with you if you sweat a lot (like myself). It'll leave an annoying milky residue on your face (especially while exercising outdoors in the heat).

Overall, this is an fine product. However, I still prefer Dan's product over this one for the simple reason that it's a gel-based formula. Neutrogena On-the-spot is not very good to use in the summertime if you sweat heavily, and it does occasionally clump up when using a moisturizer (because it's cream-based). However, it does get the intended job done and I would still recommend it to most folks.

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.
