Pros:

Everything... I'm in love with Dan...

Cons:

Now the packaging is different!
I like the old packaging... :(

Well, I've been using Dan's regimen for over 3 months... since last November. and let me tell you... IT WORKS! WORKS! WORKS! To tell you the truth, I was sorta worried because It didn't make my skin better for little over 2 months, then it started to kicking off on middle of January! I was thinking about stop using Dan's BP because I thought I waited long enough (little over 2 months), but NOOOOO~~~~~ now I'm so glad that I didn't gave up. I still have some red marks and scars, but i can cover them by putting a makeup, it feels awsome to have smooth skin surface, rather than bumpy skin! For now, i'm only using BP at night, because I don't have that much of time in the morning.... but works great for me. Thank you soooooo much Dan! I'm almost done with my BPs I need to order them more... now it has travel size too!

Pros:

Inexpensive, large tube, odorless, thin gel....not chalky

Cons:

Dried me out terribly even with moisturizer way more than neutogeana spot control 2.5% BP, my face looked parched actually had a bumpy red rash from it......unattractive!!

Will be going back to Neutrogeana, do not care about the price difference when it comes to my face. I am shocked that I did not like this, i thought it was a no brainer. I have very high expections and having less acne on crusty, parched red skin is no bonus to me. Even using it every other day once a day did not satisfy me. Beware of high reviews from people who are also on antibiotics because that is what is helping there acne, not the gel. Not for me....

Pros:

This product really works! It goes on smoothly, dries clear and doesn't leave a residue. It works quickly and doesn't cause major outbreaks in the beginning like some other treatments do.

Cons:

Ordering online and paying for shipping. I have to plan ahead to make sure I don't run out!

This is the BEST product I have ever used! I have tried ProActiv, Retin-A, tetracycline, and all the over the counter products that are out there. I found this site a few months ago and decided to give it a try. Within a week I could tell a HUGE difference in my skin. Now after three months use, I am amazed at the change in my skin. For the first time in my adult life I am not totally embarrassed to be seen without makeup. My skin is finally smooth and clear for the first time in years.

Pros:

Great value, works much better than other BP lotions

Cons:

Consistency is a little grainy, dries me out

The best BP product I have tried so far. I'm much more clear than I have been in the past and it keeps my acne from getting big like it used to get. Definitely worth buying.

Pros:

Buying in 16oz quantity made it a worthy buy.

Cons:

Had to pay shipping. Dries out more easily than Kaiser Permanente brand.

Found that I did not need to use as much as I started with. This helped with the drying out. I use Neutrogena wrinkle-free blemish free cleanser, and olay regenerist hydrating cream. These do not have pore clogging ingredients in them.

Pros:

Gets rid of Acne Realllllllly Fast! Dries them up!

Cons:

Turns my face BEAT red.. and i dont have sensetive skin, and i am naturally tan.

Great as a nightly treatment, NOT durning the day, unless you want to look like as red as an apple. Im not allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide Either, i know im not because Proactiv Didnt bother me at all, and that also contains 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide. GREAT AS A NIGHTLY TREATMENT, THOUGH!

Pros:

Well, it's not 10% BP so it doesn't dry your skin as badly.

Cons:

Bleaches collars, towels, bed sheets. Doesn't work too well. Doesn't absorb easily.

Sorry guys, after buying a bunch of these a long time ago and using the product for two years, I can't say that it works that well. Sure, it's 2.5% BP is *less* drying than the 10% BP is, but it just doesn't work that well. Dan recommends using LOTS of it, but I find that this only makes your face greasy and clogs your pores, as the product does not absorb into the skin that well. And since it doesn't absorb that well and it's BP, prepare for a tremendous amount bleaching of your favorite shirts, your towels, and your bedding. (I can't even tell you how many of my shirts have been ruined by this product. Even if you take care not to apply too low on your neck, ruining collared shirts and other fabrics is completely unavoidable.) I can't recommend this product. It hasn't worked well from the start. I'm looking at the reviews for other products out there, and won't be continuing with "the regimen" when my supply runs out soon. BP, no matter what the form, is not the

Pros:

Goes on smoothly. No flaky residue when moisturizer is applied over it.

Cons:

Hasn't done anything to diminish my acne. Makes my face look and feel very greasy.

I don't know, I really want this to work for me, especially after reading all of the other great reviews. I have skin that is pretty greasy but if I wash it it becomes so dry I can't even move my face, and flakes all over the place. The bottom line is that this gel hasn't helped my acne yet, and makes my skin feel dirty and gross.
