Pros:

Works at preventing zits from showing up, even those that typically come at a certain time of month
Unscented so I like that
Easy to dispense from bottle

Cons:

Sometimes I feel a mild burning/tingling on the skin

This product works and is a great value for the amount of BP that you get in the bottle. I only use this in the evenings so this should last me a really long time. I used to purchase the BP that came in a tube so that's why I noticed that this formula tends to burn/tingle the skin. When I first used it, it actually made my eyes water (no, the product was not in or around my eyes) but I'm just more careful now to apply less around the eye area. Overall, this product is keeping my skin happier than it was before and keeping blemishes under control (unless I've been picking).

Pros:

Heals and Prevents Acne!!!!!

Cons:

I would probally have to say the shipping costs are pretty high.

READ!! I have been suffering from acne for about 7 years. Absolutely nothing I was using worked. Seriously I tried almost everything! I read the reviews of this product and i still was quite skeptical. I finaaly tried it. Man!! I didnt see a difference for the first couple of days but about 2 weeks later i literally had no pimple!!!! Before I had this product my acne was very severe. Embarrasing. What I did. My Regimen !. Wet your face with warm water 2. Apply the cleanser exactly how dan does it in the videos. 3. Let dry 4. Apply BP just enough to cover the face 5. Let dry.

Pros:

cleared acne 100%, easy to use, great price

Cons:

can be drying if used excessively, but can be easily taken care of.
shipping is expensive...

ONLY thing that cleared my acne. people actually compliment my skin, which is actually twice as flattering for me b/c i used to have really bad skin. used in conjunction with the AHA+, another amazing product. can't live w/o this stuff.

Pros:

Works well! dosen't cause irritation, not that drying compared to others iv tried, shipping was incredibly fast! (i paid the cheapest one and it said it would take up to 3 weeks to arrive but arrived in jsut 4 days! )

Cons:

the pump on the bottle dosen't always work that well

I've been using this stuff for about 3 weeks and the acne on my forehead has almost totally cleared, my skin is the smoothest/clearest its been in years. I had moderate acne before with atleast 20 red bunps/pimples/large bumps at anyone time and now i only have one pimple, and some left over red marks.

Pros:

Prevents Acne , Helps smooth out skin , Gives a good texture to skin.
i will first tell abou my past: i had acne since i was 17 and i am 26 now. I have been battling acne since then and i know how it feels if you have pimples occurring anytime any

Cons:

Can Dry Out Skin Initially , Can be negative on Pimples and enlarge them , Can Cause skin to turn red.There is no 1 fixed way to use this product.u have to find ur own way depending on how ur skin reacts to it and the quantity as well.

I wanted to write a review only when i thought i have used this product for a good time before i write a review although i started getting results in the first week itself. This is the best product i have ever used and better than what any doctor can do provided you use it the right way. i hope my tips help those who have tried it didnt find it useful. the things i noticed whie using this are: 1) I dont use it on pimples , it seems to enlarge your pimples instead of clearing them . So what do i do ? i use a face pack first like given by proactiv or any other face pack used for pimples. then i use the treatment on the left out areas. after 5-10 mins i use the moisturizer. Initially for the first 2 months my skin used to turn little red , become dry . i then stopped using it twice a day and now i use it once a day at night with moisturiser in the morning and never use it on pimples. This has helped me change my life in many ways.hasreduced the occurec of pimples by 9

Pros:

Doesn't leave skin feeling dry like most other BP ointments.

Cons:

MAKES MY PORES OPEN THEY ARE HUGE NOW!

UGHHHH DONT USE IT
June 29, 2009

Pros:

Lightweight/ doesn't feel too heavy on skin.
Started working from the first day of use.
Great price (much lower than store bought products, even with shipping cost considered).

Cons:

Has to be ordered.
Shipping cost (although appropriately priced for weight of product).
I can definitely live with the cons, as they are so minor!

Dan's regimen & products are AMAZING! I am 35, & have struggled with acne since my teens. NOTHING has worked for me. I eat healthy, exercise, & drink 12-16 8-oz. glasses of water/ day. I NEVER drink soda, & rarely (maybe 3-4 times/ year) have caffeine. When I was 19 & 20, my skin did clear up. However, during my 1st pregnancy, I began breaking out again. For the past 15 yrs, I have struggled with acne, & have tried EVERYTHING; from expensive to inexpensive, antibiotics (not Accutane) to holistic approaches. Each time I would go to my primary Dr. for illness, etc., she would mention my acne. That is WITH my makeup on. Believe me, I learned a great deal about makeup & concealing (as I was having to live with the acne). This is the 1st time that my acne has cleared in, again, 15 yrs. I currently do not take anything other than vitamins (Zinc-40mg 2x/day, Niacin-750 mg 2x/ day, Folate-350 mcg 2x/day, Copper-2 mg 2x/day, & Omega-3 fish oil 1x/ day. I highly recommend Dan's products!

Pros:

removed some blackheads on the nose

Cons:

made my acne more severe, dried out my skin,

i had small acne on my forehead and on cheeks, and this stuff just made it worse. i used it for 4 days, and my acne got bigger and bigger, now i dont have small acne anymore, i have big. I hate it!
June 19, 2009

Pros:

Works great! Love how it goes on. Very affordable and great customer service.

Cons:

None that I can think of

I had moderate acne and this really helped. BP works great on my asian skin. I've finally taken the time to make sure the gel sinks in and it's worth it. Now I just have to find a moisturizer that will work and kill the shine. But this BP is the best!

Pros:

Large bottle is cost-effective, product feels soothing going on (not something I expected from a BP product) and goes on clear, works wonderfully.

Cons:

Takes a few minutes to absorb fully.

I really like this product, and I'll definitely continue using it. I even recommend it to my friends and family.
