Pros:

No more melia
Clear, clean skin

Cons:

It burns, but not really bad.
I've bleached lots of towels and the collar on a pair of pajamas. You can buy BP-resistant towels now so that's a nice thing.

I love this product! I have always had, and I mean ALWAYS, melia (little white, raised "pimples") on the sides of my nose. I would scrub and scub to try to get rid of them, but it would always come back right away. I haven't had any melia since I started using this product! It's so liberating. (My dad has it too so I guess it's genetic.) The product also cleared up my skin overall. I don't get breakouts. I have nice, clear, clean-looking skin. I highly recommend it.

Pros:

Worked for a short amount of time.

Cons:

Started breaking out more.
Increased redness.
Swollen face.
Burning/itchy sensation.

I used this product for a good 3 months , first few weeks of using this product my face was red and swollen.I did not stop knowing that BP usually causes those side effects in the beginning of using it.In about a month my face slightly cleared up,and so continued on using this product hoping to get a fully cleared up skin but...it got worst.My face would turn red again but even more than the previous times and I looked like a freaking tomato it was really embarrassing.I never really saw major improvements in fact I noticed more breakouts.Horrible expirience with this product

Pros:

-it actually is clearing up my skin
-dries clear
-huge tube when bought from the website

Cons:

-very dry skin after a week of usage
-slightly flaky skin
-makes my skin look weird, like wrinkly or leathery

I had the WORST acne of my life after using tretinoin for about a month. I couldn't take it anymore, so I decided to try out Dan's Regimen again. I had tried the Regimen before, but I didn't adhere to it... I also never bought any of the products from the website. So I figured I'd give the Regimen a shot again after my horrible experience with Tretinoin ( I bought the 3 things from the website). Well, it's been about 1.5 weeks, and I am so happy! Although my skin is dry and flaky, it's SO MUCH BETTER than having a million pimples all over my face. Seriously, I'll go for dry skin over acne any day. I 100% recommend you to try the regimen with 2.5% BP. Don't be like me when I first tried it out - didn't stick to the rules like Dan says. FOLLOW THE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could see a difference after only a couple days. My pimples were getting smaller. I still did have new pimples come out, but they weren't that bad. My skin seems to be wrinkly around my mouth. It was never like that before. I assume it's because of the BP. I'm going to see what I can do about that without irritating my skin.

November 30, 2009

Pros:

It helped with minor acne and redness and kept some whiteheads under control

Cons:

made my skin look dry and lifeless. It did not completely clear up my skin, it did not clear up whiteheads, it gave me pimples every day!!!

Buyer's beware.

I tried Dan's regime for more than month now, and I just stopped this regime because I realized that it is not going to help and I was tired of pasting my face with this BP gel every day, twice a day! I would get breakouts everyday!!
November 8, 2009

Pros:

Great price when compared to stuff like ProActiv. No bad smells. Worked great for the first month!

Cons:

After the first month it went down hill. It just doesn't seem to do anything now. My skin will not respond to it.

Maybe if you only had very light acne it would work - and continue to work.

Pros:

I have moderate acne, I have bee using this product for 3 weeks and 4 days now. and my acne is almost ccompletely gone. I have 2 bumps on my right cheek, that are amost gone too. I just started the whole finger length of Bp, and Im so happy

Cons:

Dries skin out when you first start using it, but when your face gets used to it, it is fine. there is nothing bad about this product. my acne is almost completely gone

please try this, I have suffered from acne for years, and now, 20yrs old, have finally found something that works, I have tried all of the acne brands out now, and this is the only thing that has worked. I use bp with cetaphil daily facial wash for normal to oily skin. and I mosturize with palmers virgin olive oil lotion. Bp works, just be patient!

Pros:

90% clearer skin, helps pimples go away faster, prevents oiliness

Cons:

It took a while to get used to it. I had to go through an embarrassing one and half month stage where my skin was noticeably flaking off everywhere. I also think the shipping prices are too high.

The miracle treatment to get rid of acne! Make sure you follow the instructions exactly. For the first two months I was doubtful about this working until I found out I was using way less than I should have been. Once I started using the correct amount my acne cleared in about two months. Having struggled with acne for 6 years, I have tried almost everything (even Accutane) and nothing I tried got my skin as clear as this. I still have a few small blackheads here and there, but even when they do erupt into zits they go away quickly and are easily covered with makeup. My skin is also less oily. USE THIS PRODUCT. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!
