Pros:

Keeps big break-outs at bay.
The pimples I do get are way smaller than before and go away much faster.
Absorbs into my skin great.

Cons:

I can't think of anything substantial.

This stuff works better on my skin than any other involved regimen or natural remedy I've tried. My personal regimen involves using Dan's gel once a day after using an exfoliating cleanser and following up with a salicylic acid based toner or astringent. I know that would be too harsh for some but my skin is not sensitive. I've learned that exfoliating and toning is key for me to refresh my skin cells and avoid clogged pores. The acne gel dries up excess oil and kills the bacteria nicely to top it off. I'm also thrilled that the gel absorbs so well. I'm a darkskinned black girl and traditional products like Neutrogena OTS left an ashy film on my skin. My skin looks and feels smooth and has a glow nowadays. My self-esteem has been boosted 100%. Thanks Dan!

Pros:

-easy to apply
-great price for such a large tube
-helps clear acne

Cons:

-bleaches everything :(

This product really helps keep acne at bay. I've been using it for about 8 months but feel like I've reached a plateau in the last few months. It hasn't completely cleared my skin, just prevents me from getting really bad breakouts. Doesn't seem to help much with blackheads. I do like it, and would recommend it, if you would like to go from severe or moderate acne to only having mild acne. And if you can stand ruining a few shirts ad bedsheets, pillow cases, etc :(

Pros:

Spreads easily, no grittiness, inexpensive, not irritating, no extra crap in it. Also, it does not bleach my clothing.

Cons:

NONE!!

I'm happily addicted, and my skin is clearing up. Amazing, considering I'm 55, have had non-inflammatory acne since age 12, and though my breakouts and blackheads have diminished somewhat in menopause, they have not disappeared. Not until I started Dan's BP Gel. Just added the cleanser and moisturizer, both of which are wonderful too.

Pros:

Awesome!! Nothing else worked and I was ready to go on Acutane...I'm 41 and the mother of 3 so this was my last hope. It is the best and as many acne suffers would say, I've tried everything.

Cons:

No cons!!!

I suffered from some acne in my teen years and then a breakout every now and then in between, but when I turned 39, all of a sudden I started getting systemic acne mainly on my cheeks and chin. Several at a time and they would take forever to go away. I picked and then started scaring. It was unsightly and I couldn't believe I was dealing with this at my age, now 41. I was ready to go on acutane but my dermatoligist said he needed to try one more antibiotic. I started the Doxycyl twice a day about 4 months ago, the same time the regimin came in the mail. I thought to continue using both, and my skin has made a 95% improvement. I am now only taking 1 doxycyl a day and think that I can stop soon, but I really feel that it is the regimen, and not the doxycyl. I have been on other antibiotics and they have not worked. I think this is the best product and I am ordering more. It lasts a long time! I have my self confidence back and I know it is because of these products!!!!!

Pros:

Much cheaper than other acne alternate, works very well.

Cons:

Hmm, can't think of one, besides that it takes time to see full effect. But ya, nothing ever comes instantly.

I've had what my doctor called mild-severe acne since 7th grade. I'm a college freshman right now. I've tried everything: proactiv, acnefree, benzaclin and its many clones. I was even thinking of trying accutane. I was very skeptical of this product at first, however, there was nothing to lose. I applied the full amount at the beginning since my skin was very used to benzoyl peroxide and within a month and a half, my skin was finally clear. And not a moment too soon either! My skin cleared just in time as I was making and meeting new friends and lovely women ;)

Pros:

Is very light, sinks in quickly, doesn't dry my skin out, one bottle lasts me months and months.

This has become a part of my daily routine. I can wear this easily under moisturizer and make-up with no problems. My skin is VERY oily so I've never had a problem with this drying my skin out. When I put this on in the morning, I don't get breakouts. When I forget to put it on - I do. I also love the size of the bottle and price. Because I use so little of it, one bottle lasts me a very very long time. It's great :)

Pros:

perfect!!! i love it, this is the best BP gel ever and it is so affordable...my skin feel soft after I apply it, and it doesnt irritate my super sensitive skin. I've had pimples for more them 10 years and this is a product that ACtually works!thx dan

Cons:

none

please do your self a favour and try this product. it is so cheap compared to all those other brands, think practiv (doesnt work and irritated my skin like hellfire)! think lancome, vichy, biotherm! those are all over $30!! for a small tube and does not work at all! bottom line is, this is a gentle BP gel that goes on smoothly and doesnt dry up ur skin, works like a charm.
