Pros:

Clears acne
keeps pimples from forming

Cons:

Easier to sunburn

This product will save your life. I have many blackheads and am prone to cystic acne and this product helps all of those things. I was so depressed over my acne and I literally tried every product out there and spent ridiculous amounts of money. Finding this was the best thing that ever happened to me. My skin cleared so fast and I never have breakouts anymore and on the rare occasion that I do, BP clears it up overnight. Anyone struggling with acne NEEDS to try this. It is affordable and works miracles.

Pros:

-Went on my skin very smooth
-Doesn't burn like most benzoyl peroxide
-Feels great
-No residue
-Smells normal
-Large tube

Cons:

none at this time i only have been using this a day so i can't comment how it clears me up but it went on great, because its a gel i have no residue, and I CANT even feel i have it on my skin

I've tried SEVERAL different benzoyl peroxides and this is hands down the best. I can't believe that it leaves ZERO residue what so ever and i can put it on without being self concious about wearing cream. It's very light and i can't even feel i have it on

Pros:

Gel consistency, low dosage of benzoyl peroxide so it doesn't dry out skin, better value for your money compared to other products.

Cons:

The biggest concern with this product for me is you have to be careful when applying due to bleaching. Other than that, it's perfect.

This stuff is amazing. I think this stuff should be sold in stores worldwide, and needs to replace all the garbage we see in stores now. While I don't follow the regimen as Dan recommends, this product worked to get rid of my light acne within two weeks. I apply a dime sized amount morning and night and this works for me. Please give this a try, you won't be sorry

Pros:

Cleared up skin significantly
Seems to be lightening up my scars

Cons:

Takes a couple weeks to work. Dried up my pimples, which was awesome, but they looked crusty and moisturizer didn't really work for that.

I'm 18 years old and I've been suffering with acne for like, 6 years. It's horrible. I hated looking in the mirror cause I was so ashamed at how I looked, but this product has helped my confidence level so much. In the beginning, it made my skin look crusty and nothing took that away, but about 2-3 weeks later, all those pimples (and there were a lot) went away. My skin looks way better than before and I'm feeling more confident. I also have a lot of scars from previous acne and it seems to be lightening those up too which I'm SUPER excited about. And my skin is very stubborn. It doesn't work with anything. I've tried almost every product out there. This is the first one that's really working for me. I would definitely recommend this product.

Pros:

-no yucky smell
-non greasy
-reasonable price (except for shipping and handling)
-can wear during the day because it does not make face super oily/greasy
-not tested on animals

Cons:

-only 2.5% bp (see comments below)
-VERY drying when i first started the regimen

Overall, this product is good. I started Dan's acne plan about 4 months ago. I had never bought ANYTHING online before, but i was desperate, as my acne had flared up (I was previously on accutane, and for about a year my skin was beautiful! but after that year, my skin went back to what it had been before accutane treatment). I did not want to buy this product, as it had only 2.5% bp instead of the 10% bp i was using. However, i did not notice a difference between 2.5% and 10%; both worked the same for me, and I bought this one because it was cheaper. This is NOT a cure to acne; I still continued to break out, but my pimples were much smaller in size and redness. I gave this item a 3 because it did not cure my acne; it helped, but I was very disappointed that it was not an acne "cure." Overall, though, the regimen is probably the most effective (and safest) acne plan I have tried.

Pros:

Acutally works when used as directed!

Cons:

Application time.
Dyes fabrics.
Some flakeing, but not to bad when a moistureizer is also used.

I have been suffering with acne for 15 years now and this is the only product that i have found to be effective. In fact, i have found it to be nearly 100% effective. Despite the shipping costs and application times, i would NEVER even consider useing a different product. I would suggest that all new users watch the videos on this website, and follow them to the letter in order to honestly evaluate the products effectiveness.

Pros:

nice consistency-no odor.

Cons:

burned my skin, leaving painful red rashes.

unfortunately i didn't have the success of others. when i first got it I followed the directions, initially it irritated me a bit but I expected that and kept using it in hopes of it getting better. now if i use it it causes really bad red burning on my skin, that takes days to heal. I can use the cleanser but not the peroxide treatment. for people with hyper sensitive skin this product may be too harsh. I feel frustrated that I spent so much money on these products to have such a bad reaction.

Pros:

It works! It's not expensive. It doesn't take long to receive the product.

Cons:

It takes time to clear the skin (as stated in the instructions) and obviously, everyone wants to be clear NOW!

It took me the full 8-12 weeks to be completely clear but I'm so happy I stuck with it. I've tried everything a dermatologist can provide, including two sessions of Accutane, which cleared my skin for a few years but eventually the acne returned. I was desperate when my derm. suggested another Accutane treatment! I refused to be put on that stuff again. I have also tried many of the other strategies/shortcuts mentioned on this site because I didn't believe that something as simple as a BP treatment could possibly improve my condition after all the doctor prescribed treatments failed. Bottom line...I purchased the BP, moisturizer and AHA and use them in conjunction with Herpanacine (see reviews under supplements) and I'm completely clear!! I told you I was desperate so I took a two-prong approach to clearing the acne. I used Dan's three products on my face only so the Herpanacine and Dan's AHA alone cleared my back. My gratitude goes to Dan and the man who created Herpanacine. If you decide to try it, which I strongly recommend you do, do not shortchange yourself by giving up too early. Give it the full 12 weeks to see improvement. Oh, and follow Dan's instructions exactly, just as he recommends.

Pros:

Great size, Non-Scented, Easy to use

Cons:

Will dry skin out if used too often

This product works great! I have been using it along with the rest of the system (ie: cleanser and mosturizer) for about 3 months and have seen major improvement with my skin. My first week using the treatment I had problems with my skin drying out. But once I started focusing on my t-zone and checks (which are my problem areas), instead of smearing it on my whole face, the dry-ness subsided.
