Pros:

every single bit is a pro

Cons:

the only thing that may be a con is that it may bleach some stuff. though i barely have a problem with it.

The bottom line is that i cannot live without this product it is freaking amazing. Mind blowing. i have tried a bunch of stuff and this product is just different in an amazing way. Also don't be afraid of buying it. they have money back guaranteed and they have an amazing team. Once i order a bunch of stuff, but the expiration of the products was due 5 months from the day i got the products. the 16 oz benzoyl peroxide last around 3 whole months using it every single day and some days in the back as well.the problem was that i ordered soo many things. So i contacted them and they were amazing at dealing with the problem.

Pros:

Don't know, now that I think about it...Nothing good came out of this regime. I still developed acne while on the regime.

Cons:

Dried out skin.
Caused cysts to grow on areas that never appeared before.
Cause me to have Eczema.
Went from moderate acne to Severe Acne.
Read Bottom line to know how.

Right now I have been breaking out as of late and I blame Dan for this but first you have to hear me out. I used to have the occasional zit or two on the nose. Once or twice a week and that would be it. I decided to do the regime because Dan's promise was so convincing. I did it regiously and insisted on not giving up because he grinded that into my brain. Not saying its a scam but thats how he got everyone to try the product and kept on using it even though their acne got worst. Anyways, while on the regime...I would get big cysts and bumps on my cheeks and chin which I never had before. I would get one or two big cysts on my cheeks every week! I followed the regime, using the Clean & Clear foam cleanser, BP Treatment and Cetaphil lotion for moisturizer. The cysts will leave a deep red scar on my face which i never had a problem with before. The BP caused the scar to be deeper and more permanent. On top of that after 6 months of use, I developed eczema and at first I tried to ignore it but it only got worse. I developed eczema on both sides of my cheek, lip and forehead. I continued using the BP and it stung on the spots that had eczema so I decided to quit the regime. Now I have eczema but that is slowly being cured since im off BP and started using a rash cream. My Cheek acne is also gone but now I have horrendous Cyst acne on my chin. I get about 2 cysts everyday on my chin/mouth area!!! It turned my skin from moderate acne to Severe and I wasted all the time and money.

Pros:

-It cured all my acne in one month!!
-I have less blackheads (maybe because of the routine of the regimen, that u have to wash 2x per day and be constant)
-Gel formula, goes on nicely

Cons:

Super dry skin
red/orangy face
itchy skin

But it so worth it!!!!

I had acne since my 13s, never been too terrible but in the last couple of years it got worst. Within the years I tried lots of different products but they didn't work at all (Vichy Normaderm, Acniben, Clean and Clear, Asepxia, Loreal Zone, etc.). When I was on birth control pills my acne was controlled so I thought it was an hormone problem and I was about to use birth control pills again until I reach this website! I live in Argentina so I was a little sceptical about buying online, and all that stuff... If it was going to work, if I was waisting my money one more time... But. BUT! Holly cats! What an amazing product! Within 3-4 weeks I was totally acne-free!!! I bought The Regimen (the regular one) and my brother after watching the results on me (i was like a guinea pig) used it too and now we bought The Big Kit Plus. BP made my skin super dry, super flaky, super itchy and very orangy (im super pale, so u can tell) but one month after doing it every day, and using lots of moisturizer (Now I bought the Jojoba Oil to add it to the regimen, it didn't arrive yet so I can't make a review on that) my skin feels pretty normal again, and with no acne at all! I will definetly recommend it, it totally worth every side effect of the treatment and every cent that we pay for it. You have to be really constant and you will see results!!

Pros:

The tube lasts FOREVER
Easy to apply
Good value

Cons:

Slightly drying
Can bleach your clothes if you're not careful

I've been following Dan's regimen for six months now and I couldn't be happier. First I use Cetaphil facial cleanser for all skin types (not the one for sensitive skin... ironically that one broke me out baaad!) or Purpose liquid cleanser. Then I follow it up with the BP acne treatment. After it's all dry, I use Cetaphil lotion during the day and the AHA lotion at night. I have seen an incredible difference in my skin! I still get a few breakouts here and there, but they clear up a lot faster! The tube has lasted me 3-4 months! I paid 20 dollars (including shipping), which is a great value. Just make sure you let the BP treatment dry before getting dressed or it WILL bleach your clothes! It also drys out your skin a bit, but if you follow it up with lotion it shouldn't be an issue.

Pros:

Clears skin
Not heavy
Glides easily
Odorless
Great value

Cons:

At first is very drying

I used proactiv's repairing lotion for years but hated how it smelled and how heavy it was, not to mention that is was very expensive. This is much lighter and has no fragrance. It glides very nicely and has improved my skin greatly. I don't put this all over my face because I only break out on the lower half of my face. I also use it as a spot treatment during the day and it works great!

Pros:

- Goes on smooth
- You can feel it working
- A little can go a long way
- IT WORKS!!

Cons:

- A little drying but some moisturizer will help

Worth every penny, This product will get rid of any acne if you stick with it!
January 23, 2012

Pros:

large quantities
smooth and easy to apply
no visible white residue

Cons:

i was using 5% BP before this but when i started using this, i had lot of breakouts. It clogged my pores really badly.

it works for some but not for some. I guess my acne was quite bad as it was cystic ones. I'm sticking to the 5% and the jojoba moisturiser.
November 28, 2011

Pros:

2.5%
light consistency
HUGE amount of product: compare to other brands!
great price

Cons:

the package design. Three words: Helvetica Neue Light. The classiest font in the world, in my opinion. Just have it in large font wrapping around the side in white against the black background. Just a suggestion. xD

I LOVE the new consistency. Almost weightless! I followed Dan's website from before he even made these products. He's come so far! The consistency back then was still great, but a little thick. It used to ball up with my moisturizer or it would make a weird film of the stuff on my face. Now it's light and fluffy. Way to go Dan, for perfecting this product! I must admit. In a weak moment, I did forsake the skincare bible of Dan Kern and try salicylic acid instead of benzoyl peroxide, But it's just not as effective! Not to mention that it's difficult to find products that are inexpensive and not tested on animals. I'm probably going to stray and try different products every once in a while, but I'll always come back to Dan's classic 2.5% BP treatment because my skin has always been its best with it.

Pros:

-Reduces oiliness of skin.
-Reduces break-outs
- Decreases inflammation

Cons:

- May cause dryness and itching of skin

I've been persrcibed BP for a few years now, and it has worked well on me. Of course, you have to use other products such as cleansers or whatever your dermatologist recommends. Since I live in a climate where seasons change and are signigicantly different (harsh winters, hot and humid summers) I have to switch up the dosages. (winter I use BP 2.5%, summers I use 10%) So basically....this product works well when used properly.
