Pros:

Eliminates acne - fast Goes on smooth - does not clump under my makeup Dries quickly and dries clear - skin felt soft to my surprise

Cons:

so far - even though I was careful to avoid the eyes it somehow crept near that area and it cause the skin under my eyes to puff up a little , very slight itching (so far) and today ever so slightly red Cant get in UK!

Have used this for a week - am very impressed so far. Skin is very close to 100% clear in just a few days. I have mild but consistent acne. I am hoping I do not experience any "initial breakout" Am worried also about my skin becoming dependant on it. The best bp I have ever used - very convenient and easy to wear in daytime too.

Pros:

Not too expensive

Cons:

Not for everyone

BP is hailed by some as a great method to combatting acne but for me, not so much. It's awesome that it works for some but I think people hopping aboard the bandwagon for the regimen need to keep in mind that everyone's skin is different. For that same reason, the regimen and BP will not work the same for everyone either. I unfortunately did not consider that when I began using it. I in fact, needed professional help for my acne, but because of my stubborn thinking I thought I could clear my face on my own. Instead it worsened over the month and a half that I used the BP. It showed some results but nothing that convinced me that I should stick it out any longer than I already had.

Pros:

Amazing! Works so well, seen a massive improvement after only a few days. Also leaves my skin nice and dry, my skin looks perfect when it is dry and not covered in oil all day :)

Cons:

Only con I can think of is that there isn't a U.K stockist, so it takes forever to arrive and also costs quite a lot, but it is so worth it!

Also seeing such a massive imporvement withing a week (Swithed from 5% to this)

Amazing, the best BP treatment I've ever used, I can't believe I didn't come across this sooner. Give it a try, chances are it will work, its like god in a bottle :)

Pros:

Works amazingly well. Goes on clear, which is a step up from the neutrogena 2.5 BP.

Cons:

Contrary to what is stated in the products description it does clump up under make-up, but in the scheme of things I dont care. My skin is fantastic thanks to this stuff and the neutrogena BP.

Use it! It is cost effective, goes on nicely and it has improved my skin 100%. I feel as though the neutrogena 2.5 BP might work a little better for my skin so I rotate which BP I use just because it has been working for me and using this BP keeps the cost down. However, I must prefer the consistancy and feel of this product. It soaks in better and it goes on clear so I don't have to wander around the house at night looking like a ghost.

Pros:

none really

Cons:

pricing (including shipping), delivery, and crying

Okay so i have been using neutrogena's 2.5 BP CREAM every since i started the regimen and it has worked perfectly. However it is very VERY expensive so i was looking for another option. I have read many RAVES about Dan's BP GEL, i checked it out, the pricing was great compared to neutrogena's, so i ordered it. It came out to about $16(plus shipping) for a 2oz, i thought that was kind of expensive but if u calculate neutrogena's .75oz for like $7.00 you save your self a couple of cents. The delivery took FOREVER!!! to arrive, but when it came i was HYPE. I tried it for 1 whole week morning and night, and MY FACE HAS BEEN SO DRY AND RED ITS UNBELIEVEABLE!! OMG.. my eye lids, under my eyes, and my upper lip feels and looks sooo scaley its DISGUSTING.. Maybe it works for alot of ppl but NOT FOR ME AT ALL!! so i guess imma have to spend those extra bucks for neutrogena's BP Cream because its the only thing that keeps me clear and doesn't dry my face so bad..

Pros:

I LOVE this product. Over the past 3 months it has really cleared my skin up. No other product seemed to make a difference. It's easy to apply, it dries quickly, it looks fine under make-up and has basically just given me back my self-confidence!

Cons:

The first 2 weeks it made my skin extremely dry and itchy, but I guess it was kind of my own fault as I may have started out too strong. Start by using a small amount and you should be fine.

It's a real life saver. It's affordable and it works! Everyday I look in the mirror and I love what I see. My skin is smooth and clear for the first time in years. I've never looked better thanks to this amazing product. I will definitely continue to buy this!

Pros:

It Works! I've tried several prescription antibiotics and creams, which did nothing. Dan's BP gel is the ONLY thing after a few years of having acne that improved my skin.

Cons:

The first few weeks of using the BP made my face itch and reddened and burned if it got in my eyes; over time it decreased and now it doesn't even affect me.

The key for me to having this work is to consistently wash my face twice per day; I notice a big difference if I even miss one washing. The Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer is very gentle and works great. I've also been taking 50mg of Zinc every day which may or may not help. ALSO: I must declare how important it is to stop picking at your skin. Be patient and it will work!

Pros:

Goes on smooth, dries insanely fast, leaves me skin feeling so so so soft, and it actually WORKS!

Cons:

It dries your skin out a little, but DUH, its BP, thats what it does. I said 3 for affordability because I'm a college student :P

Dan's BP WORKS, it actually works. And it works fast. The pump is great because the amount is consistent and its amazing how you can buy a HUGE bottle of it. This product saved my life!
