Pros:

Very effective BP gel. Absorbs into skin and gets rid of acne if used consistently.

Cons:

Flakiness and dryness (but that is reversed with the use of a moisturizer)

Best BP product I've found yet. It is light and non-greasy and most importantly, it is a gel so it's very easily absorbed into the skin with no white marks after application. Like all BP, it causes flakiness and dryness but that can be mitigated with moisturizer.

Pros:

This is the only acne treatment product I've ever found that actually works but doesn't make my skin get red and flaky. I use it every night with the rest of the regimen and I have consistently clear. It has helped with blackheads as well as acne.

Cons:

At first there can be some slight irritation, but if you keep using it every day it will go away in about a week. Much less irritation than most other effective products.

I highly recommend this. It is not too weak and not too strong, so you can use it consistently. My friends keep saying how great my skin looks now. Get it and use it everyday.

Pros:

No doubt that it works, skin totally clear of blemishes within a few days

Cons:

Much too harsh for older skin (mid 30's), skin never got used the drying effect and made skin look old and dull

I order all 3 items from Dan's regimen and bottom line is, it works. However if you are suffering from mild to moderate adult acne like me and also want to avoid skin aging at the same time, this is not the solution. If I had discovered this in my teens, it would have bee a revolution and I'm sure my more resilient young skin would have coped better with the drying effects, However despite giving this a good go (4 weeks), my skin was unbearably sore and dry. Having done further research due to my skin just not acclimatising to the bp, there is also some risk of aging and being in my 30's it's a risk I didn't want to take! So overall, younger skin, give this a go, there is no doubt it is highly effective. Older skin, I would not recommend this at all, however do not despair, I also ordered the 10% aha and that has been fanastic!

Pros:

-Cleared up my skin fast.
-Doesn't leave any residue.
-Easy to use pump.

Cons:

-Dried out skin a lot when I first started using it.
-The smell isn't nice.
-Kind of embarrassed it says "Acne.org" on the bottle.

This product started working to clear up my skin immediately when I started using it. I saw results in days. The only downside was that my skin got very dry as I moved up to the two full pumps twice a day that the regimen suggests. I started using the AHA+ from this site nightly and I reduced the amount of this product to one pump twice a day, and it got rid of the dryness. This product and the AHA+ pretty much saved my face. Thank you Dan!

Pros:

It took a long while for this product to work on me. I usually keep with products for at least 6-12 months before making a decision. This nearly took the 6 months to finally take effect, but now my skin is so clear.

Cons:

The packaging. I miss the old tube packaging. It was easier to get out. The product also bleaches my hair and towels.

Great product. I recommend it to anyone with acne. Hell, I go up to random people with horrible acne and suggest it. I had the worst acne and this stuff is brilliant. It can bleach all my towels and turn my hair white as long as it keeps working.

Pros:

absorbs fast and well, nice refreshing feeling when applied, unscented

Cons:

none so far

I have been using a 5% BP for a few years before I switched to Acne.org product so I had no problem adjusting to it--and once I do I can never live without it! The gel doesnt leave white residue like my previous BP cream did, and this product doesn't have the horrible medication scent. Together with the AHA it works wonders for my skin. I used to have very oily skin ( after a couple hours of washing my face it would be shiny with grease again, and I always had acne on the side of my face), but 2 weeks after I using both products together I began to see a difference. Now after 3 month of using both they keep my cheek oil-free the entire day. My forehead is still a little oily towards the end of the day, I still have a zit every once in a while, but my skin is pretty much clear 95% of the time. I still have whiteheads on my nose. but it was a dramatic difference from before!! My twice a day routine: neutrogena pore refining cleanser->toner->BP->AHA.

Pros:

actually works

Cons:

took awhile to work, time consuming, dries skin

this took awhile to work for me, i've been using it for about three months. i had the clearing at first and then i would still get a few, but it was still better than before. at first my skin was more dry than it had ever been, but it has gotten better. my skin was never that bad, but there was always something. i use aveeno spf instead of the moisturizer and vitamin e oil at night for the moisture. i still have some red marks left, but the vitamin e is supposed to help with that. it also seemed fairly expensive, but it actually lasts for quite awhile. you don't need to use as much of the face wash as the treatment, i only use about half of a pump of it. start slow at first, because my sister tried this, and she put on more than she should have at first and then her skin was burning for a few days. but if you're patient with it, it will work

Pros:

BEST BP I've ever used, hands down

Cons:

well, I gave the packaging a 4/5, because of the whole ACNE.ORG thing, it just bugs me, I think it would be much nicer if it said D.K.R or DKR or something like that.

This is the best BP I've used. It does make me red like any other BP, but I used the acne.org moisturizer to take care of that (it much have a nice calming agent in it to take redness out even when my face isn't dry or irritable to begin with). I really think the fact that this is pharmeceutical grade and finely milled makes all the difference, it gets deeper down into the pores. Since starting this product, I have not had one breakout, and it's already been about 5 days. Yes, I'm expecting one eventually, it's normal since I'm just starting the regimen, but just surprised I haven't had one already, this stuff is really working!

Pros:

none

Cons:

Doesn't stop new acne from forming, takes along time just to kill one zit

I've been on the regimen following it exactly how i'm supposed to for a month now.overall my acne is alittle better but the red spots remain and seem to almost be redding even more. i still get new acne almost everyday. Now they say give it aleast 8 weeks or so but to me it doesn't make sense. if new acne keeps forming almost everyday when in that extra 4 week period is it going to magically stop the new acne from forming...If its not doing it now how does it randomly start working like everyone says it does? i don't really get it.
