Pros:

It didn't sting my skin badly or cause lots of redness like so many other acne medications have done.

Cons:

It is not an overnight product, when it comes to how quickly it clears up acnce. Also, I don't care for its scent.

This is one product that I really tried to stay faithful to but couldn't. I like that it had a lower percentage of benzoyl peroxide. However, 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is a slow worker and I just am a bigger fan of higher strength benzoyl peroxide products than this super lower low strength instead.

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:

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:

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:

-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.
