Pros:

Best product I've used. Period. My skin has cleared up almost entirely and it's only been a week!

Cons:

smells terrible, leaks from the bottle at the base of the pump, irritating when you first start using ... but this subsides (don't give up!)

I am the biggest skeptic of them all. Pumping benzoyl peroxide on your face twice a day for acne ... yeah right. Actually, it works. My face looks incredible. I tweaked the regimen a bit though. I only apply the benzoyl peroxide at night and I use Dan's AHA+ moisturizer along with an SPF during the day. I've been using Differin for the past three years with good, but not great results. A few months ago it stopped working entirely. I stumbled across this website, found the regimen and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. If my skin looks this good after just a week of use, I can't wait to see my skin after a month.

Pros:

Prevents zits!

Cons:

Bleaches fabric
Dries out your skin
Don't like the new pump bottle - it's hard to get out once it starts to get empty

I have been using Dan's BP gel for 4 years. It really does work. However, I don't do the full regimen, I only use BP at night, because I can't stand the fact that it bleaches your clothes. That's probably why I still get zits sometimes. But it definately makes my skin much better. I hate hate hate the fact that this bleaches fabric, so my pillowcases and sheets always end up with bleached spots. I feel bad when I stay over at a friend's house so I won't use BP because I don't want to ruin their sheets. When I visit my mom I bring my own pillowcase... of course this isn't Dan's fault, any product with BP will do this. But... it works!

Pros:

Keeps my face completely clear. I have to use it at a half dose in order to keep my skin from peeling, however it keeps me 100% clear. Clears all kinds of zits, minimized blackheads, and improved overall quality of skin tone.

Cons:

Can cause dryness, not sold in stores.

This is easily the most effective benzoyl peroxide I've ever used.

Pros:

Works on stubborn comedones and moderate acne. Works slowly on cysts, but it does bring them down within a few days.
Removes redness, most BP gels heighten redness, but Dan's BP is really gentle.
I'm not as oily as before.

Cons:

Little bit of dryness. Easily fixed. Doesn't work 100% on all pimples, some still come through, but I don't mind being 90% clear.

I've tried Benzaclin, RAM and differin as well as over the counter BP, yet all those don't compare to Dan's BP. I'm never going to waste time and money at a derms office ever again. This BP works and does not make my face red, it seems to help with redness. Best of all, it actually works on acne! Ever since I started to experiment with RAM and differin, my forehead has been clogged with closed comedones and nothing could get rid of them. Not even switching back to the usual over the counter BP creams that used to work in the past for me could get rid of these whiteheads. Dan's BP was my last attempt before I truly quit even trying to rid myself of acne and I'm really glad I did. This stuff works like nothing else and it works gently. Don't bother with retin-a or with products that claim half a years wait time before results occur. Dan's BP works fast and it continues to work consistently. Thanks so much Dan!

Pros:

Alot of product for the money. Also reduced some of the oiliness and eliminated facial redness.

Cons:

Not sold in stores. Can't skip a day or I'll breakout again in a few days.

I use Dan's benzoyl peroxide only once per day. I wash my face with my hands with Serious Skin Care's Daily Ritual Cleanser (which has both salicylic acid AND glycolic acid) both a.m. and p.m. and rinse gently with tepid water and a washcloth. In the p.m. ONLY I follow with one pump of Dan's benzoyl peroxide. I also keep Serious Skin Care's Super Hydrate on hand if I experience too much dryness which doesn't happen too often for me because I have very oily skin. I have finally after many years and many different product lines found the solution to my acne problems. Not only is my skin clear, but it also helped reduce the oilness and my skin is no longer red any more! Thank you Dan for making this benzoyl peroxide, it really is the best I have ever tried.

Pros:

it helps with acne

Cons:

dries out skin immensely
makes skin red

I used it for a few months and it dried out my skin and made my face extremely red. It cleared up my acne a little bit but was not worth it. It took two months to get my skin back to normal afterwards. I would not recommend this at all. It killed my skin. I started using Oxy 10% benzoyl peroxide wash and it works awesome.

Pros:

Good size, works for me, gel consistency

Cons:

cannot be bought in stores, the pump does not make it travel-friendly

I had small acne, but there wasn't a day I didn't have at least one. And I noticed my skin getting worse as I get older. This helped me within a week! I got a few break outs but they healed in a matter of two days! I like this over the cream for one major reason, it doesn't sting my face. I think I am allergic to bp and the cream (I used Neutrogena) made my face so red and painful, I could only use it every other day. In the day I was peeling a LOT too. With the gel, it not only is easier to apply, it doesn't leave a white film over your face and I can use it everyday (although only once a day because it makes my skin sting a little). I have to use NIVEA Soft cream as moisturizer cause everything else is not moisturizing enough. The only small con: the pump can't be closed and recently while travelling I had to take the pump out, and close the bottle with plastic because I put a brand new unopened bottle in my luggage and it opened.
