December 26, 2008

Pros:

It works...that's all that matters

Cons:

Does leave my skin dry and flaky (but can be helped with Moisturizer and Jojoba Oil morning and night)

Even after a couple days of use, my skin was clearing up considerably. So far, I'm 100% confident that it's working as intended.

Pros:

very effective, vegan, affordable

Cons:

bleaches clothes and pillowcases, regimen is somewhat time consuming because of gel's drying time

It works and it's vegan! First thing I've found that really works for me and I've been trying different products for YEARS (Since I was 15. I am 23.) I can deal with the bleached pillowcases for that!

Pros:

-Most effective product I've used
-It works. Really. Honestly. Works.

Cons:

-Quantity needed leaves you dry
-Increased hyperpigmentation
-Time consuming (wash, wait, BP, wait, moisturize)

It works. I usually still have at least one tiny pimple on my face, but compared to what it used to be, I am so OK with that. I've used BP before, but something about this one & the quantity you use makes it better. The trouble with us is that we want this crap cured right away. Sorry--nothing works that way. If you really want to get rid of your acne, you have to be patient. I didn't see any results with this product until around three months in. In another month, all I really had left were the scars. I never had trouble with hyperpigmentation before (the pink spots left behind after an acne sore goes away), but with this product, I've had lingering pink marks. I've been on it for 9 months, and I still have some. They're fading, though, and I'll bet by Christmas, I'll have perfect skin. This is a great product, but you have to be patient. REPEAT: YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT. And you need a good moisturizer. I never got dried out by other BPs, but you use a lot of this. Get jojoba oil.

Pros:

Best product I've used. Period. My skin has cleared up almost entirely and it's only been a week!

Cons:

smells terrible, leaks from the bottle at the base of the pump, irritating when you first start using ... but this subsides (don't give up!)

I am the biggest skeptic of them all. Pumping benzoyl peroxide on your face twice a day for acne ... yeah right. Actually, it works. My face looks incredible. I tweaked the regimen a bit though. I only apply the benzoyl peroxide at night and I use Dan's AHA+ moisturizer along with an SPF during the day. I've been using Differin for the past three years with good, but not great results. A few months ago it stopped working entirely. I stumbled across this website, found the regimen and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. If my skin looks this good after just a week of use, I can't wait to see my skin after a month.

Pros:

1. It works where nothing else has. Three days after starting I was acne-free. 2. Feels wonderful on my skin, my constant "itchies" are gone! 3. Controls oily shine. 4. Arrived 2 days after ordering. 5. Excellent price. 6. Nice package. 6. No scent.

Cons:

None.

It's given me hope :-). Had nice skin all my life, then developed awful acne when menopause started 6 years ago that left many scars. Nothing worked. Tried Dan's BP & in THREE days acne was gone! (Along with constant itchiness that was driving me crazy.) Am sticking to regimen. Thanks to you Dan I am smiling a lot more these days :-)

Pros:

Alot of product for the money. Also reduced some of the oiliness and eliminated facial redness.

Cons:

Not sold in stores. Can't skip a day or I'll breakout again in a few days.

I use Dan's benzoyl peroxide only once per day. I wash my face with my hands with Serious Skin Care's Daily Ritual Cleanser (which has both salicylic acid AND glycolic acid) both a.m. and p.m. and rinse gently with tepid water and a washcloth. In the p.m. ONLY I follow with one pump of Dan's benzoyl peroxide. I also keep Serious Skin Care's Super Hydrate on hand if I experience too much dryness which doesn't happen too often for me because I have very oily skin. I have finally after many years and many different product lines found the solution to my acne problems. Not only is my skin clear, but it also helped reduce the oilness and my skin is no longer red any more! Thank you Dan for making this benzoyl peroxide, it really is the best I have ever tried.

Pros:

Dest product I have used for acne!! Definitely does the job. Pimples started clearing up the very next day

Cons:

can dry you out a little
shipping bites - but it's worth it!!!!!

I wish I came across this website years ago!! I dont even know how I have bipassed it. I have tried so many products and have wasted so much money to have nice skin (last was Murad system-broke out w/pimples everyday!) Who would have thought going back to BP would have been the trick, but IT IS!!! Right now I use Purpose Cleanser, Dan's BP, and Oil of Olay Sensitive. Thanks to this site, I now have a great complexion.

Pros:

cheap, odorless

Cons:

doesn't work, stains fabric, dries skin, layers of product on your face all day, can't use makeup, extreme dryness

This product left my skin exactly as before and I was very careful to use it as described. My skin was so incredibly dry at times I turned down party invites even after tons of moisturizer. Makeup over the day-time regimen is out of the question because it is caked on your face. I understood I would go through some dryness and thought the payoff would be clear skin, but after 10 weeks my skin is exactly as before and my pillow cases are ruined.
