Pros:

This product WORKS!
IT WORKS, IT WORKS, IT WORKS!

Cons:

I have extremely sensitive skin, so I experienced dryness, itching, and peeling for the first 2-3 weeks. (It'll pay off)

I'm not easy to convince, and I've tried ALMOST EVERYTHING on the market, even Murad and Proactiv. They didn't work. TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, FOLLOW DAN'S REGIMEN, STEP-BY-STEP. (Pay attention to Dan's regimen tutorials) I MEAN IT, STEP-BY-STEP!!! BE CONSISTENT!!! Before you know it, you'll begin to see the results FAST, and have CLEARER to TOTALLY CLEAR SKIN!!! Just give it a try, that's all you can do. Then truthfully follow the step-by-step regimen.

Pros:

-clears up smaller pimples quickly

Cons:

-the first time i used it it burned a little bit, but thats no biggie

I am a 14 year old girl who has struggled with what i think was moderate acne for a few years. This has been the only thing that worked ! I have only used it for four days (once a day i apply it at night to the problem areas) and my forehead small white pimples have reduced size dramatically and some have dissapeared. On my chin i had 2 pimples which i usually only get deepish ones there, and those 2 cleared up. The deepish- skin colored ones have sort of reduced size, those are a bit harder. For some reason i have always stayed away from bp, and tried many different salicylic acid products, which never worked for me! I am so happy i found this stuff! (just be careful to not use it too much or it CAN make your skin worse...it says 1-3 times a day if your work up to 3, but i am sticking to once and the occasional twice. ) Good luck everyone !

Pros:

-Non-greasy
-Absorbs fast
-Less irritating than most benzoyl peroxide medications

Cons:

-flakes a bit, but nothing to worry about if you moisturize.

This stuff is especially good if you have just light acne that you're trying to get rid of, but I've seen it work wonders for people who have moderate/heavy acne as well. I have to say there's a product line called CeraVe if no one has heard of it. If you use this stuff in combination with there cleanser and moisturizing cream, flakiness and irritation is no problem. CeraVe is designed to target dry, flaky, irritated skin and repair it. I was skeptical but it works, and this acne medication with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is the perfect amount to heal your skin in unison with that cleanser and moisturizer. If nothing has worked for you yet or your just starting out trying to get clear skin, i really recommend you try that combination of products. It's the least irritating, no dyes, no soap, no fragrance...I can tell you from personal experience that it's worth a shot!

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:

It's efficient, has no smell, and it's cheap.

Cons:

For me it gives burning sensation.

This product is very affordable,and reliable for me. Really, there's no way a pimple is just going to disappear over night but, this product is about the fastest I used. It takes about 2 days rather than weeks to get rid of certain pimples.

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.
