Pros:

very cheap, I like the way Dan does business, it works, more or less.

Cons:

It is drying, which makes my skin look flaky under make up and time consuming to wait for skin to dry... wash hands a million times, making them dry as well, lol.

I began using this product as Dan recommended, slowly wk 1) 1/2 a pump only at night, wk2) 1 pump only at night then wk 3) I tried using it in the morning as well and my skin became so dry it was pretty much unbearable though it was much clearer... so I settled for only using this at night. Not to mention, you're not supposed to get this in your eye area and that's pretty much impossible if you wear make up. I still get pimples but they're fewer and far between and it works better than pretty much anything I've tried, well at least with the least amount of side effects.

Pros:

Works great!! Goes on clear, no fragrance. You get a lot for the price.

Cons:

Nothing really.

I've been using Dan's BP treatment since when he first started with the blue tubes. I had severe acne during high school and calmed down a bit after taking Accutane. Dan's BP was the only thing that made my face completely clear. I tried Murad and Proactiv and those didn't help my skin at all, I was still breaking out. You will have to put it on twice a day if you want to maintain a clear face because sometimes I miss a few days and I start breaking out again. It doesn't dry my face, maybe because I have oily skin. I don't usually put on a moisturizer either. One last thing, for those of you who converted from tube to bottle like me, I didn't see much difference between the two. The bottle was fine dispensing the BP, I pretty much had the same control as the tube.

Pros:

It works.

Cons:

Red and irritated skin during the first week of use (as expected).

I highly recommend this treatment. I had severe acne on my face (around 10 - 15 at a time). I've tried all kinds of products, over the counter and prescriptions. My dermatologist even put me on birth control and it did not work for my skin. After using the regimen for about two months, my face cleared up. I even saw results after the first try. After years of acne, I've also realized that benzoyl peroxide works better for me than salicyc acide (even though most over the counter products use this as the main ingredient). But Dan's treatment bottle is the best deal given its reasonable price and effectiveness. After three months, I went off the product and still have not had a breakout since, which is great because I've been breaking out continuously and most severely for the past year. Unfortunately, I have some acne scarring from my earlier acne. I wish I had found this website sooner. I highly recommend trying this production.

Pros:

Really dries up current acne, prevents future acne. I've been on for 9 weeks and I still had red dots, from old acne, but no new acne.

Cons:

Dried my face terribly, don't like the fact the bottle says ACNE.ORG on it, I rip of the label... Also you have to put a ton on. However, I would reccomend it.

Get, moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Do not quit early, give it 4 months before deciding to quit.

Pros:

It works!!!!!!!

Cons:

It can be drying, but it is benzoyl peroxide, after all. I would like a different dispensing "head" to make for easier travel.

I LOVE this product! I've used many, many products over the years, but have never been successful in my battle against acne -- until now! Since using The Regimen, I don't have breakouts. I will get a pimple every now & then, mainly when I'm not using The Regimen correclty/consistently, but it goes away very quickly once I return to proper usage. I've always been told that I was pretty in spite of my acne, but for the first time in my entire life, I was told recently that I have beautiful skin. The Regimen may seem a little pricey, but this makes it worth it -- that, and the fact that the products last forever! If you haven't bought it yet, do so now -- your search for an acne treatment that works is over!

Pros:

It is ok at stopping new acne forming

Cons:

Unfortunately, too many! I have stopped using it and now using Microdermx to try and fix the red marks

Okay, I have used this for a few months. Here is my honest opinion of this. I have written a review for it before and gave it 3 stars out of 5 overall, but I am changing it now to 2. Here is why. You can tell that your skin hates this product. It seems to me that my skin was pretty much "dead" after a while using this. Not only was my skin always flakey, it just looked dull and lifeless. But to be honest, Acne affects me so badly on a psychological level that I would be the first one to say that it's not very important. As long as I can get on with my life and not have my Cheeks covered in Acne. So the real problem with this product is it seems to make hyper pigmentation marks (Red marks left over from acne, which is worse than acne it self!) last FOREVER. Serious, I read that it did this, but I also read Ran saying it didn't. So I thought I would see for myself. I can now confirm that expect you're red marks to stick around for ages if you use this. I have now quit using it

Pros:

works, clears blemishes!

Cons:

flaky skin under makeup

i'm on my third week on the regimen and having great results so far!! i'm also using AHA cream so it's helping to dry out the blemishes. i have oily, uneven, acne-prone skin. i have a busy schedule and i'm glad that i finally feel like i can be out all day, and i dont have to come home to a big ole pimple!! for makeup remover im also using pond's microdermabrasion wet cloths before washing my face. if used correctly, and with patience (a month or more) this regimen will do wonders. if you've already tried everything else, this is definitely worth it than spending OVER a hundred bucks on crap that wont work

Pros:

Light, goes on smoothly, didn't dry me out, no fragrance.

Cons:

Broke me out badly with cystic acne all along my jawline and chin.

I thought using this product would make my acne from moderate to light, but it's the complete opposite. It made my skin worse and I DID follow the steps just like Dan. Believe me, parents were wondering why I was taking so long on my face. I really wish I would of never started this product, now I'm recovering from the WHITE large bumps, the cystic acne and red dots. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Others have seen results, but mine just kept getting worse and worse. Use tea tree oil or the dessert essence desert blemish stick. It gets rid of my cysts from the DKR w.in 2-3 days.

Pros:

Large size is convenient and cost effective, gel goes on easily and dries quickly with no fragrance.

Cons:

Slight irritation like all BP products.

I think Dan has the best deal on the market for BP products, though I'd be interested in a 1.5% option for adults with less acne. I really like the very open and honest way he does business with full disclosures about everything.
