Pros:

This really doesn't have a great consistency for the regimen. Easy to spread and apply.

Cons:

I'd said Proactiv is pricey, but I can't complain about that since I had three months worth given to me by a friend.

I think it's better than plain BP if you can get your hands on it alone, since BP is going to be drying at least at first. So it offers a little more moisture, even my oily skin needs the extra moisture. Not to mention, it's oil-free. I'm glad to have three months supply of this stuff so I can use it instead of just plain BP. Of course this lotion is going to be drying as others stated, but that's because it's BP! haha. But like I said, it's nice to have around if you have it because it's a moisturizer too. Although, I cleanse, use Proactiv Repairing Lotion, and I still use a dry skin lotion after this.. and I have EXTREMELY oily skin, but BP dries me out. So never underestimate the power of moisture when you're using BP.

Pros:

Does work with consistancy. I started breaking out on my forehead pretty bad a while back, proactive got rid of it. I find it works best when you use alot of the repairing lotion.

Cons:

Dries out your skin. Over priced.

Over all this product works well for me. Does work. Makes your skin look way better, evens skin tone, gets rid of acne. I know for some people i know it didnt work as well asit does for me, but it IS worth a try.

Pros:

The product does work for me but it will not be a miracle. Your acne did not form overnight and its not going to go away overnight either. It took me about a month and a half for all of my acne to go away.

Cons:

It is a little bit pricey.

It will take TIME for this product, or any product to work. You must be patient and use it for at least a month or two.

Pros:

This works well - on its own! I started using a basic good cleanser plus an exfoliant several times a week because my skin needs that in combination with this (no toner like with the Proactiv system), and my skin is looking great!

Cons:

The price is ridiculous to buy it alone, and since I don't want or need the rest of the system, it's an unnecessary expense. I think I'm gonna switch to Dan's MUCH more inexpensive BP gel and hope it's just as effective.

If you can afford to spend the money, give it a try! It does work as a stand-alone, but the price is really what gets to me.

Pros:

It works well if you know how to apply it to your face.

Cons:

Nothing much.

It IS perfect for people who have oilly skin! Really, put alot on your face not a pea sized amount because really it will not work if you use a little. It works by using micro-sized sponges that absorb excess oils and keeps your skin to a moderate oilness.

Pros:

keeps acne away, doesn't dry out my skin

Cons:

really expensive $28 a bottle at the mall kiosk

I love this stuff, I use it with dans clear skin regimen. I used to use dans BP gel and it works very well to. But the difference for me it the proactiv BP is more moisturizing and my skin stays more supple with it compared to dans, they however for me both work equally well at keeping acne away. I used to use the whole proactiv system but just using the proactiv bp with dans regimen works better for me, I also use %100 pure sweet almond oil the NOW brand after I wash my face and before bp and this has made a huge difference in my skin, more supple, even toned and glowing. My Regimen is: 1-Wash with dans face wash, pat face dry 2-Put 6 or 7 drops sweet almond oil in my palm and rub gently into my skin, wait a couple minutes 3- use a small amount of proactiv BP smooth on face gently, wait a couple minutes 4- use a small amount Lachydrin-5 moisurizer The results clear, beautiful, even toned, supple skin

Pros:

Very light and feels really great when applied to face. The fragrance isn't too strong and smells fresh, actually. Cleared my exsisting acne to an extent.

Cons:

Tends to dry out my face just a little and does make me flake a little. In the T zone it does the opposite of drying out, it actually makes me more oily. (but the Refining Mask takes care of that.)

Clears up face but does also dry it out. USE THE GREEN TEA MOISTURIZERRRR! ITS AMAZING

Pros:

It works if you use it twice a day with the other things, It makes your skin nice

Cons:

It bleaches your sheets, clothes, eyebrows, hair..it stops working after a while..its kind of expensive..

I liked it when I started using it, then it started to bleach my hairline and my eyebrows and I had people asking me if I dyed my eyebrows..I would recommend switching between this product and another..but Clean & Clear has one with the same ingredient for $6
