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!

Pros:

Very easy to apply, doesn't leave residue, dries well

Cons:

Have to be patient when drying, it leaves your skin dry, but with the moisturizer should be fine.

This product is the best! I've had acne since I was 12, I'm 20 now and this is the best product that's work for me. Since using this product my acne is gone, I don't have those huge breakouts anymore. Thank you Dan so much for this. You are a hero!

Pros:

Clears Acne!

Cons:

Dryness but nothing moisturizer cant fix

This is the best stuff! I have only been using it for a week and already my acne is clearing up! After having a very terrible experience with Murad which left me depressed and often days crying because it made my skin so bad, Daniel Kern's BP is working miracles! I've been following the instructions, starting out with a small amount and gently rubbing on face after cleansing. It leaves my skin a little dry, which is to be expected, but I just use the moisturizer about 15 minutes later and it clears up that problem instantly. I wish I would have found this site sooner , It would have saved me the emotional strain and not to mention the strain of my pocketbook. Thanks so much Daniel Kern!

Pros:

No horrible smell, works beautifully, spreads nicely.

Cons:

Only con is that you have to order it online!

I love this. It's the best BP I have ever used. The best thing is that it doesn't smell horrible like other BP products. And it works like a charm. I will definitely order more once I run out. :)

Pros:

a little goes a long way, clears up acne pretty quick

Cons:

dries out skin, pretty pricey

I've been using this regimen for almost a week now & it's working fairly well. My acne has been looking a bit better. The BP dries out the skin a bit.. around my mouth but I use the AHA as a moisturizer so it never stays so dry. I think people with moderate acne should try this, you'll definitely see improvements like I have ( though sometimes it mostly depends on your skin )

Pros:

Prevents Acne , Helps smooth out skin , Gives a good texture to skin.
i will first tell abou my past: i had acne since i was 17 and i am 26 now. I have been battling acne since then and i know how it feels if you have pimples occurring anytime any

Cons:

Can Dry Out Skin Initially , Can be negative on Pimples and enlarge them , Can Cause skin to turn red.There is no 1 fixed way to use this product.u have to find ur own way depending on how ur skin reacts to it and the quantity as well.

I wanted to write a review only when i thought i have used this product for a good time before i write a review although i started getting results in the first week itself. This is the best product i have ever used and better than what any doctor can do provided you use it the right way. i hope my tips help those who have tried it didnt find it useful. the things i noticed whie using this are: 1) I dont use it on pimples , it seems to enlarge your pimples instead of clearing them . So what do i do ? i use a face pack first like given by proactiv or any other face pack used for pimples. then i use the treatment on the left out areas. after 5-10 mins i use the moisturizer. Initially for the first 2 months my skin used to turn little red , become dry . i then stopped using it twice a day and now i use it once a day at night with moisturiser in the morning and never use it on pimples. This has helped me change my life in many ways.hasreduced the occurec of pimples by 9

Pros:

Lightweight/ doesn't feel too heavy on skin.
Started working from the first day of use.
Great price (much lower than store bought products, even with shipping cost considered).

Cons:

Has to be ordered.
Shipping cost (although appropriately priced for weight of product).
I can definitely live with the cons, as they are so minor!

Dan's regimen & products are AMAZING! I am 35, & have struggled with acne since my teens. NOTHING has worked for me. I eat healthy, exercise, & drink 12-16 8-oz. glasses of water/ day. I NEVER drink soda, & rarely (maybe 3-4 times/ year) have caffeine. When I was 19 & 20, my skin did clear up. However, during my 1st pregnancy, I began breaking out again. For the past 15 yrs, I have struggled with acne, & have tried EVERYTHING; from expensive to inexpensive, antibiotics (not Accutane) to holistic approaches. Each time I would go to my primary Dr. for illness, etc., she would mention my acne. That is WITH my makeup on. Believe me, I learned a great deal about makeup & concealing (as I was having to live with the acne). This is the 1st time that my acne has cleared in, again, 15 yrs. I currently do not take anything other than vitamins (Zinc-40mg 2x/day, Niacin-750 mg 2x/ day, Folate-350 mcg 2x/day, Copper-2 mg 2x/day, & Omega-3 fish oil 1x/ day. I highly recommend Dan's products!
