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.

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:

Excellent product. I have been using this for almost a month. I usually have oily skin and this product reduces the oil and greatly enhances my appearance. My son has also been encouraged to try this product for the same reasons. It is great.

Cons:

A bit itchy at times, but worth the itch.

Get it today, do not delay! I have tried many, many products and this is absolutely, positively the best yet!

Pros:

Great for sensitive skin, doesn't dry out skin, reduces acne redness, a small amount goes a long way, and it doesn't irritate skin like other benzoyl peroxide products.

Cons:

It comes in a small tube and costs about $5, but it does last a long time (depending on how bad your acne is).

I've tried dozens of acne fighting products. I've tried facial rubs, lotions, moisturizers, deep cleaners, and exfoliators. All of them have turned my skin red from irritation, have dried my skin out, and resulted in worse breakouts. I was about to give up on cosmetics and focus on changing my lifestyle and diet, but I thought I'd try one more product...On-the-Spot Acne Treatment by Neutrogena. A very small dab of this cream on the acne affected area will reduce the acne's redness considerably and make it disappear in a couple of days. This product has helped reduce my acne breakouts by eliminating the ones I have and keeping me from popping pimples, spreading the bacteria to other parts of my face. If you have dry, sensitive skin and other products seem to make your acne worse try this product out. It is sold in small portions, but (depending on your condition) it lasts for at least a month. Five dollars a month for clearer skin sounds like a great deal to me. Can't hurt to try it.

Pros:

I tried this tx after it was recommended to me to use as all-over tx rather than just on the spot, and it works great that way!

Cons:

I go through 0.75 oz. quite fast and would like to purchase a larger quantity. I did hear such a package exists, but I can't remember where, so I am searching the net today to find it.

This product will clump sometimes, but I've always found a way to blend it in, with an oil-free moisturizer, and foundation on a daily basis. It has kept my face clearer than any other product. I've recommended it to my younger sisters who are struggling as I was at that age. Most important though, is to go through the daily routine of washing, treating, and moisturizing NO MATTER WHAT! My sisters don't like to wash their face before bed every night and you have to be that dedicated to get clear skin!

Pros:

I love this particular BP simply because it is non-irritating where as other products (Clearasil, Persa-Gel, etc...) use 10% BP. This is 2.5%; however, it is just as effective in fighting acne. It smells great and it goes on pretty clear. Buy it!

Cons:

I wish it would go on a little more clearer, but that is not a big issue for me. I've never had harsh acne. Luckily it is very very mild, but this keeps me from getting any future pimples. I also with the tube was as big as Dan's BP. 4 oz perfect

I will not between BP's anymore. I have tried many different BP's and I love this one. I give it five stars. It is fast acting and it smells great. I wish it came in a bigger tube, but that is fine. I am willing to pay $4.97 for it at Wal-Mart. By the way people, go to Wal-Mart. I can't believe that your paying between 7 and 10 bucks for this stuff. It's only 5 bucks at Wal-Mart. Happy acne killing!

Pros:

This product works very, very well. I have used 10% BP Clearisil Persigel which was very drying and irritating to my skin. This is much more mild. With Oil of Olay moisturizer, make up goes on very well-a must for work.

Cons:

You really should start with a very small amount to avoid irritating your skin. I used a very small amount on my forehead, nose, and chin and it has worked very well. Not really a con-just a recommendation.

This works very well. I've tried tons of other products, and this has worked by far the best. I use Dove white/sensitive bar soap for the first step, and Oil of Olay Moisturizer for the third step, but only if I have to wear make up for work. If you've never used BP, start off small because it can be a little drying and irritating, but it is just as effective as the 10% stuff out there, but not nearly as irritating. Moisturizing helps a lot, and my Bare Minerals make up goes over everything with no problem. Bare Minerals is great for your skin, and conceals blemishes like nothing else. You can get the starter kit for about $60, and it lasts a long time (still on my starter kit 3 months later).
