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:

-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:

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.

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.

Pros:

Dries clear.
Doesn't have parabens and SLS.
Big bottles for a good price.

Cons:

When it dries my eyes really sting from the fumes.
Takes a long time to dry.
Doesn't work as well as panoxyl 2.5 gel.
Horrendous international shipping charge.

I think Dan is wonderful and I really wanted to try his BP because Panoxyl (common brand of BP in the UK) contains SLS and Dan's doesn't. I'd been on the regimen with panoxyl for several months and it cleared my skin but eventually I thought I would order the acne.org one instead. I'm sad to say that it doesn't seem to work as well for me-maybe my skin got too used to the other brand? I broke out more with the acne.org one. The other main complaint I have is how much the fumes sting my eyes. Does anyone else experience this? I have to keep my eyes shut for about 10 minutes or else they start watering and going red. I made the mistake also of stopping BP for a few months and am now suffering with the worst breakout I've ever had. My advice is to find the brand of BP that works for you and stick with it! I wish I had started with Dan's one, perhaps it would have worked better for me then? Good luck all of you in your search!

Pros:

It makes my face glow and cleared up my acne greatly in only a few days! =D

Cons:

It feels a bit itchy at first and is mildly drying.

It really works. The mild discomfort is worth it, and if you use the moisturizer properly the drying is far less severe.

Pros:

effective, helps maintain a clear complexion, you get a lot

Cons:

makes face dry and a little red the first couple weeks, pricey

I am really happy with the effectiveness of this product. I was using doxycycline hyclate and differin together for about a year, but I hated always being sunburnt and having a red face so I decided to change my routine. I chose to buy this product because of the good reviews and the amount you get. I slowly reduced my dosage of doxycycline hyclate and differin. Now i'm completely off of that stuff and i'm taking this product along with 100mg of zinc. My redness and sunburn has gone away and now I can spend more time in the sun. :) get it!
