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!!

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.
