Pros:

Great price for the amount of product you receive. I have only had 2 pimples since I started using it 2 months ago vs 10 a week.

Cons:

I've had an outbreak of whiteheads. I don't understand why I've been getting those.

I like this product better than any other acne medications I've used including Proactive (which didn't work at all for me). I would like to know why I'm breaking out with whiteheads vs pimples.

Pros:

Worked well for me. Easy to apply, blends into skin well & absorbs quickly. No fragrance to speak of which is very important to me as I am very sensitive to smells. Great value for the money.

Cons:

I wish they would go back to the tube container. I travel a lot and the pump bottle does not travel well.

Prior to finding the Acne.org BP product I spent a LOT more $$ on BP products that were smaller, harsher on my skin and often didn't completely absorb. I would highly recommend this BP product over any other.

Pros:

Seemed to lessen infected acne as it dried up the skin,

Cons:

Made my face burn terrible. hence the pain would make me angry, and I dont like being angry all the time.

Ive used this product for over a year a few years back. -- Dont have oily T-zone, Acne is on checks chin and lips. -- would get papsuals and zite, my zits would become red and infected, but would pop clean if waited 1 week. not many whiteheads as bp would irritate -I used it properly ffollowing the regimine -after worked up to full dosage, would have so much bp on face and them moisturizer, kind of had a layer of junk on face --face would burn tewrribly after put on. Would have to shower to get relief.

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:

No fragrance, decent price, fast shipping

Cons:

Does not work at all, takes too long to apply, end up with too much gunk of my face, made red marks darker, must purchase online

I used this stuff for almost half a year hoping it would just take a while to kick in. It just made my red marks look worse with no change in my acne. It was a waste of money and time, resulting in increased hopelessness.

Pros:

i like how it goes on clear and has a very mild fragrance. other BP gels/ creams smell pretty awful in comparison.

it's easy to use and seems to be helping clear my skin quite noticeably. when i first started using it, my skin cleared up quick

Cons:

i've been using it a few weeks now and though it cleared my face at first, i have just developed a few more zits. i had hoped the BP would prevent cystic acne altogether, but i guess ill have to wait longer for that to happen.

is very agreeable with my skin, it dries it out but not too badly (dryness is taken care of with moisturizer anyway). it has pretty quick results, but i'm worried about whether the results will be consistent in the future since i've broken out a bit recently. i was pleasantly surprised by its effectiveness and would recommend it.

Pros:

Very simple routine every morning and evening, so far it seems to be working - fingers crossed!

Cons:

BP Gel is very drying but that is to be expected. No redness, just dry - plenty of moisturiser is required. Delivery costs to UK very expensive and UK import duty was payable.

I have suffered with severe Cystic Acne on my chin for over 20 years, I am in my mid Thirties and have always dreamed of a "cure" for this horrible condition. I recently had 5 large cysts on my chin and scoured the internet in desperation and came accross this website. Definately the best site and advice I have come accross! Products seem to be working well and no new cysts..yet! I get normally 3-4 new ones a week and so far there are no new ones in sight. Wil keep you updated with my progress, if it can work for me with my severe condition it can work for anyone. Try it, nothing to lose!!!

Pros:

it absorbs w/ patience, IT WORKS!

Cons:

it drys skin

i landed on this page in desperate search for a solution to treat my stubborn and evergrowing acne. Dan's regimen is affordable. i brought all 3 steps.the key is to give it a good week or more to start seeing results. and do stick to the regimen as it really really made a difference. listen to Dan when he says treat your face nicely...no rough rubbing. also, it really did dry my skin out but i didn't stop, you gotta have patience.only stop if you have bad reaction to benzoyl. otherwise stick to the plan caz you won't regret. right now my skin doesn't have those huge hard pimples anymore. my brownish marks from old pimples seem to fade away caz bp seems to make my skin peel. remember to put tons of moisturizer caz it really does dry you out. but if you are like me and you got no other way out..give it a try. remember to follow the steps closely and stick to it...you will seem to have worse skin in the first week or two..but don't give up.

Pros:

Easy to use
Works partially

Cons:

Works only partially
Ruins the collars of good shirts and pillow cases
Expensive, for my budget at least

I am going to try something else. I had high hopes for this, but I am not seeing enough improvement.

Pros:

Works quickly

Cons:

Not in stores, a little pricy, but well worth it.

It works, considering I do NOT have sensitive skin, it doesn't burn. Slight changes even when first using it. I expect that in a week or at the most, 2 weeks that I'll be nice a clear :)
