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.

Pros:

It is the only thing I have found that works for me. I was on Accutane twice and, while it cleared me up for awhile, it eventually failed too. I am never without this product.

Cons:

You have to be careful around your clothes and pillowcases but that's the same with any acne medicine.

It's the best value for your money and the results are wonderful. I have used it for years now and won't use anything else.

Pros:

water based gel, absorbs quickly, cheap, convenient and results in smooth acne-free skin

Cons:

Seriously.....I had none.

I still thank God for the day I came across this BP gel.I've been using it for a year now and my skin is 100% clear of the acne I had. The trick is to come up with the right amount and frequency to apply and keeping your skin moisturized so that it won't peel-off and become red or itchy. Infact, these days I don't even use it consistently and apply it whenever I think my skin needs it. But to clear my skin, I religiously followed the acne regimen and I guess its really worth all the effort if you want clear skin. be patient and you will be rewarded. BTW, my skin started to clear up within 3 weeks of using the product. Good luck.

Pros:

The first pro is that it ACTUALLY WORKS! It also dries clear and does not dry my skin out too much.

Cons:

NONE.

This is the only thing that has worked on my skin. I developed acne in my mid-twenties and went through hell trying to find something that worked. I spent hundreds of dollars on doctors, medicines and expensive over the counter products. I finally decided to do some internet searching and found acne.org. It is unbelievable how quickly this stuff gets rid of acne. I'm so glad I found this and wish I'd found it much sooner. I've already ordered three more bottles for family and friends. This is the best stuff on the market for acne.

Pros:

Clears up skin better than anything I have ever used. Large bottles last a long time so it works out reasonably cheap. Doesn't seem to bleach fabric as bad as other BP products I have used.

Cons:

Can make your face red, I still get red marks on my face sometimes even after 3 months of use. Takes a long time to absorb into the skin.

This stuff works, I used to use a 4% cream which bleached my bedding and clothes far worse than this 2.5% gel. The cream I used didn't work any where near as well as this, I used to wake up every day with new spots now it is rare that I wake up with any new spots. Most of the month I am spotless. I would recommend this to anyone, try it and don't quit because it can take a month or two. I don't know what I would of done if I hadn't found this!!

Pros:

It Works! I've tried several prescription antibiotics and creams, which did nothing. Dan's BP gel is the ONLY thing after a few years of having acne that improved my skin.

Cons:

The first few weeks of using the BP made my face itch and reddened and burned if it got in my eyes; over time it decreased and now it doesn't even affect me.

The key for me to having this work is to consistently wash my face twice per day; I notice a big difference if I even miss one washing. The Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer is very gentle and works great. I've also been taking 50mg of Zinc every day which may or may not help. ALSO: I must declare how important it is to stop picking at your skin. Be patient and it will work!

Pros:

Gel based, goes on clear, easy to spread, quickly dries, very effective, doesn't irritate, cheap compared with alternatives

Cons:

Packaging made it hard to dispense

I love this product. I used to use a 10% BP cream. It would make my face extremely red and flake like crazy. I then discovered 2.5% BP and bought some of the Neutrogena On-the-Spot. I didnt like the cream because it took a while to absorb. The price of the tube is expensive seeing as it lasted me about a week. Then I discovered this. Its amazing. I recommend this to everyone. Regarding my only con: I ordered the 2 oz sample to try and I am extremely satisfied. The packaging is slighly annoying because you have to squeeze the bottle and when you start to get low you have to open the top to get the remaining product out. I'm sure once i order one of the bigger bottles with the push down dispenser, my problem will be solved. (Price includes shipping)

I use Purpose cleansing gel then Dan's B.P. then Eucerin spf 15 facial lotion and my face has never looked better. I have not had a breakout since I started this regimine
