Pros:

Light, non-irritating, very easily absorbed without the poreclogging ingredients in "vanishing" type creams, doesn't leave a peeling residue like other gels, CHEAP, not tested on animals, prevents breaking out!

Cons:

None.

Highly recommended for anyone who has acne.
February 3, 2008

Pros:

Keeps skin clear and beautiful!
No white residue
Feels smooth and silky to put on skin

Cons:

Can bleach fabrics
Can leave dried up residue around the dispensing hole (no big deal)

This stuff has saved my life. I started on the regimen using Oxy 2.5% benzoyl peroxide cream which did work well, but left that white residue, and came in a tiny bottle. This stuff feels MUCH nicer to apply and lasts a whole lot longer. Also, my skin has never looked so good! I started getting acne in grade 4. I've been on tetracycline from the dermatologist (which made me very nauseous) and tried many other acne products. Nothing has compared to this. It's so easy to use, and best of all, very cost efficient! I can't sing its praises enough. I tell EVERYBODY about it. I even look at old pics of myself where I THOUGHT I was having a good acne day and cringe because it is such a drastic difference! What a self esteem booster to have clear skin, finally, after all these years!

Pros:

Great price, works quickly, easy to use, no smell, less drying then previosly used products.

Cons:

None!

I had mild to moderate acne on my face my whole adult life. Found this by chance on the internet. (My next step was going to be an expensive dermotologist.) I love this stuff! I don't find it to be too drying. I put it on after my shower, it dries while I do my hair, and then I mosturize and put make-up on. At night, an hour or more before bed, I wash my face with the cleanser, put BP on thick, let it dry, mosturize and go to bed. Won't stain sheets if you let it dry first! My face has not been this clear in years. It has really helped my to be more confident. Great product!

Pros:

-IT WORKS!
-very econimical compared to other bp products, even with shipping.

Cons:

bleaches bed sheets.

Tried many different types of acne medication but nothing worked for me. After a couple months of using this my skin is about 90% clear! It took a while to start working, but definetly worth it. Definetly worth a try if you struggle with acne.

Pros:

feels good :)

Cons:

none

It's working! My skin doesn't even feel really that dry. It's clearing up! yayy!
January 24, 2008

Pros:

goes on easily, doesn't clump or flake, works great under make-up, works quickly!

Cons:

not available in stores, so you have to make sure you order it before you run out. I started to break out as soon as I ran out!

This is the only acne product I've used that has worked consistantly. I've tried Proactive, and other similar products, but none of them worked as well as this product. I think it's a case of "less is more". The less crap you're putting on your face, the happier your skin will be.

Pros:

Very simple routine every morning and evening, so far it seems to be working - fingers crossed!

Cons:

BP Gel is very drying but that is to be expected. No redness, just dry - plenty of moisturiser is required. Delivery costs to UK very expensive and UK import duty was payable.

I have suffered with severe Cystic Acne on my chin for over 20 years, I am in my mid Thirties and have always dreamed of a "cure" for this horrible condition. I recently had 5 large cysts on my chin and scoured the internet in desperation and came accross this website. Definately the best site and advice I have come accross! Products seem to be working well and no new cysts..yet! I get normally 3-4 new ones a week and so far there are no new ones in sight. Wil keep you updated with my progress, if it can work for me with my severe condition it can work for anyone. Try it, nothing to lose!!!

Pros:

You get alot for your money
Easy to apply
IT ACTUALLY WORKS!

Cons:

It's will dry your skin, but hey what do you expect its BP. It's still not nearly as drying as most the other products on the market.

I will admit I was a skeptic, but once I tried it I was in absolute shock. I have always had acne and it has gradually gotten worse. Before the BP I had alot of bumps on my forehead and at least 12-15 pimples on my face at any given time. I can't say I'm completely clear yet but it has only been 6 weeks and I have seen a huge improvement. I don't have any of the bumps on my forehead anymore and only around 3 active pimples on my face. I am confident I will be completely clear in the next few weeks. One tip: When applying the BP rub it slowly for a few minutes until it starts to feel tacky, I did not do this at first, I just smeared it on which gave me a weird flakey effect. Other than that it's simple, cheap and effective.

Pros:

it absorbs w/ patience, IT WORKS!

Cons:

it drys skin

i landed on this page in desperate search for a solution to treat my stubborn and evergrowing acne. Dan's regimen is affordable. i brought all 3 steps.the key is to give it a good week or more to start seeing results. and do stick to the regimen as it really really made a difference. listen to Dan when he says treat your face nicely...no rough rubbing. also, it really did dry my skin out but i didn't stop, you gotta have patience.only stop if you have bad reaction to benzoyl. otherwise stick to the plan caz you won't regret. right now my skin doesn't have those huge hard pimples anymore. my brownish marks from old pimples seem to fade away caz bp seems to make my skin peel. remember to put tons of moisturizer caz it really does dry you out. but if you are like me and you got no other way out..give it a try. remember to follow the steps closely and stick to it...you will seem to have worse skin in the first week or two..but don't give up.

Pros:

Prevents big pimples. I still get tiny ones from time to time, but it's nothing compared to before. Feels great on skin and the fragrance is actually very pleasant, in my opinion.

Cons:

Not sold in stores D=

Gosh, I couldn't possibly say enough nice things about this product. It, along with Dan's cleanser and moisturizer, has saved my life. My skin looks 95% better than before. I still get a tiny pimple here and there, but it's really nothing to complain about. This is truly the only product that has worked for me. Thank you, Dan, for developing this amazing product! I'm SO glad I found your site! **Just note that it will take some time to see improvements. I know how discouraging it can be, but believe me, you'll be glad you stuck with it in the end.**
