Pros:

Worked pretty well but by no means a miracle worker

Cons:

Made my face extremely red, itchy and flaky no matter how much moisturizer i put on

I think i may be allergic to it since it has caused me so much crusting on the face but i also have used proactiv which is also 2.5 % BP.

Pros:

Eliminates acne - fast Goes on smooth - does not clump under my makeup Dries quickly and dries clear - skin felt soft to my surprise

Cons:

so far - even though I was careful to avoid the eyes it somehow crept near that area and it cause the skin under my eyes to puff up a little , very slight itching (so far) and today ever so slightly red Cant get in UK!

Have used this for a week - am very impressed so far. Skin is very close to 100% clear in just a few days. I have mild but consistent acne. I am hoping I do not experience any "initial breakout" Am worried also about my skin becoming dependant on it. The best bp I have ever used - very convenient and easy to wear in daytime too.

Pros:

Works amazingly well. Goes on clear, which is a step up from the neutrogena 2.5 BP.

Cons:

Contrary to what is stated in the products description it does clump up under make-up, but in the scheme of things I dont care. My skin is fantastic thanks to this stuff and the neutrogena BP.

Use it! It is cost effective, goes on nicely and it has improved my skin 100%. I feel as though the neutrogena 2.5 BP might work a little better for my skin so I rotate which BP I use just because it has been working for me and using this BP keeps the cost down. However, I must prefer the consistancy and feel of this product. It soaks in better and it goes on clear so I don't have to wander around the house at night looking like a ghost.

Pros:

Great value, works much better than other BP lotions

Cons:

Consistency is a little grainy, dries me out

The best BP product I have tried so far. I'm much more clear than I have been in the past and it keeps my acne from getting big like it used to get. Definitely worth buying.

Pros:

I have mild acne and within 3 weeks of using this gel I didnt have a single zit on my face.

Cons:

A little bit of drying occurs, but it gets better over time. Now I barely have to put any moisturizer on at all because my skin is used to it.

If you're not convinced... buy the product and try it out!! That's what I did... it's not expensive, and now I'm a believer!

Pros:

Works as is said. :)

Cons:

To follow the regimen, i have to use a big amount each time and that's inconvenient for the rush hours in the morning. Causes flaky appearance but, well, that's normal.

I have no inflamed acne after using it. so cool. ^_^

Pros:

Less acne in one week

Cons:

After 2 weeks my face was extremely dry and full of acne

Worst thing ever!!! I used to have pimples in the T-area of my face so I started using this bp. Even though I started slow, my face got really dry...but since it seemed like it was working, I kept using it but about 3 weeks later I got pimples and bumps all over my face!!. Yes, the pimples were smaller but it was terrible!!! I've stopped using it about 3 weeks ago but the pimples that I got using the bp didn't disappear yet and my face is still a little dry. It's so frustrating because I've never had dry skin or pimples all over my face before!!!

Pros:

Everything the product description says is true: it goes on easily, is completely invisible, doesn't clump up like the little tubes of white, paste-like Neutrogena often does.

Cons:

Unless you happen to be one of the poor souls with an intolerance to peroxide(s), I can't think of a single negative.

Bottom Line is it works for me when absolutely nothing else I've tried ever did. I've been using it everyday for over 3 months and my face only gets clearer and more stable. Things that used to set off breakouts no longer seem to affect me. By the way, I've found that once the initial acne is under control, I can actually back off slightly on the total amount I use, so, though I use it twice a day everyday, a single tube is lasting me about a month and a half. 2 tubes = 3 months for me! That makes an affordable purchase even more so when you compare to what little else is available "out there". I had no redness, no adverse reaction of any kind other than 2 spots on my face that hit rather hard and fast during the first week or two - after that, practically nothing at all. And if I do feel trouble brewing, I put a little extra on the problem area, and usually overnight suffices to stop it in its tracks. A clear face is confidence inspiring. What's it worth to you? T

Pros:

Big tube! Dries clear! Not over-drying! Zits heal faster - not as red or severe!

Cons:

Not available in stores in Canada.

TRY IT - IT REALLY WORKS!!! I've been using DK's regimen gel for about 5 months. I'm totally clear now (took about 3-4 months) except for the few days during my cycle when I get 2-3 zits, which only last a couple of days (they used to last up to two weeks and they are much smaller in size now and way less severe). I was ready to give up and try Accutaine when I stumbled across this site. I suffered from acne for almost 25 years and nothing has worked as well as this. Nothing. I've never been this clear, and I feel like I've been given my life back! Thank you Dan!!
