Pros:

It really works. Really.

Cons:

Bleaches fabrics.

After years and years of over the counter and prescription drugs, I am truly blessed to have found this product. It has changed my life.

Pros:

inexpensive for a very generous size, gel leaves no residue, no stickyness, absorbs well, less irritating/drying, i could go on and on

Cons:

i don't like paying $8 for shipping

I've only been using this for about two weeks, but I've seen a huge improvement already. I use about half a finger (which might be more than recommended, because my problem areas comprise less than half of my face). I started off with a lot more BP than I was supposed to but my skin isn't sensitive, and it's been used to using 10%. I experienced some drying, but that went away after about a week. My face is clearing up, any new zits, even the huge pustules, become significantly smaller after only 2 days. The only thing is, I just started, and so I'm not looking forward to the flare-ups that are expected. Not excited about that. But it works better than anything I've ever tried. I love it.

Pros:

So far it seems to be clearing and preventing new acne, doesn't dry instantly, spreads nicely, doesn't leave behind the white reisdue of neutrogena on the spot.

Cons:

It makes my forhead and nose shiny, It's not a greasy shiny though because I tried wiping it away or rubbing it in but it's already dry!

This product is wonderful, to solve my problem above I use the neutrogena on the spot for my forhead and nose then I use Dan's BP for the rest of my face.
September 25, 2007

Pros:

It doesn't dry quickly, easy to spread.
Cleared up my breakouts within a week (a miracle!)
A very large quantity and it doesn't smell.

Cons:

Sometimes is leaves a burning sensation on my face if I don't use moisturizer (at night). Otherwise its fine. It does dry your skin like all benzoyle products but thats what moisturizer is for.

This product give you the most bang for your buck. 4 OZ is more than enough for a long time. The consistency of the gel is much better than any spot treatment or those little 1 OZ tubes that other companies make. I've used alot of different benzoyle products and various acne treatments and this one has worked the best.

Pros:

Doesn't irritate my skin, Dries quickly, Large amount. Best thing is that it really works.

Cons:

Is not in Stores.

I have mild acne here and there but when i fly from CO to TX to visit my family my face freaks out. So this time I bought this before I left for TX and it did a wonderful job. My face hardly freaked out and stayed clear for the most part.
August 13, 2007

Pros:

great consistency, minor irritation, goes on clear doesn't over irritate

Cons:

not as effective on larger zits as i had wished

if you want a great quality relatively inexpensive 2.5 bp this product is definetly what you want to get
August 9, 2007

Pros:

big packaging, consistency

Cons:

irritating, made my skin feel weird

i used dan's bp consistently for about 6 months last year. it was ok, i guess...i wasn't satisfied with it enough to keep with it. while it did keep my pimples at bay it never cleared me up 100%...however i did not glop it the amount dan recommended on my skin. the reason i didn't was that it made my skin feel kinda weird, a bit unnatural ..i guess like bp skin! i felt it kind of looked funny too., and makeup never looked right. fyi my acne is usually under the surface except for pimples under my jaw. i would rather find other gentler ways to manage my face for my acne is not severe. but i do think the bp is effective on killing pustules...and i also think this is a wonderful site for all the acne sufferers out there, thanks dan!!

Pros:

smooth & clear
far less abrasive than 10%B.P. w/same effectiveness
can be worn under make-up

The regimen has worked wonders in only a couple of days for me! I've literally tried everything from retin-a, home remedies, etc. for the past decade, but this has been amazing! It makes sense to gently layer it on. Think about it this way: it would be as if you're marinating something, the more you put on and longer it sits, the better it stays. I also put aloe vera gel on top after it dries, but this is for me, it may not work for other people. I was having a hard time leaving the house because my acne was making me feel so ugly, and after only a few days I have cleared up significantly. The price is also super cheap (to me) when you think about it. It's 4oz. for 8.50 rather than a 1oz tube for $5.60. I don't mind the shipping either, this is a GREAT deal!
