Pros:

I liked it. It worked better than most products I have tried. Gentle and effective on my very stubborn acne

Cons:

none -- ok, it bleached all my sheets (you have to expect that)

I liked this and recommend it. It helped me a lot. It is better than everything I have tried (and I have tried it all -- even accutane, which worked with bad side effects, and then the acne came back a few years later). The only product that I found as good (or better) is Paula's Choice. But Clear skin is much cheaper -- very useful too.

Short term use - amazing Long term cost: - Stops working after a few years - thins skin resulting in easily damaged skin - dependent, cant stop using, horrible breakouts when you do - alter skins ph permanently - scars and melasma that wont go away after a year :(:(:(:(:(:( NEVER HAD THIS BEFORE

Pros:

Definitely helps keep minor acne (specifically across my shoulders) under control; I start breaking out a bit if I stop using it.

Cons:

Did not work the magic I hoped it would and it bleached my pillow cases regardless of whether or not I waited the recommend fifteen minutes for it to dry. Because of this, I couldn't use BP in the mornings; my clothes would be bleached!

I'm hesitant to use more than a minimal amount on my face. I know the breaking out and redness is supposed to be a phase, but even after weeks of starting treatment, my shoulders were still horrendously rough and dry, so I was a bit unwilling to find out how my face would react.

Pros:

It works!
It does not flake up like the cream ones
Makes you glow
Affordable

Cons:

Medical smell

I have been on the regimen for over a year, using "On The Spot" with good results. I was spending so much money buying those little tubes every week that I decided to buy Dan's huge bottle. I am so glad I did, it took me from good to great skin! I actually cured my acne by making this switch. The gel absorbs quickly and feels lightweight. The only negative thing is the smell, which is something I can live with if it means I can have gorgeous, smooth skin!

Pros:

Leaves face feeling clean
Doesn't make face oily
Clears face up quickly
Is clear, so it's great under makeup

Cons:

None!!!!

Some people may experience a really dry or flaky face when first using, but not me. I used a nice dosage of this stuff twice a day, and my face feels so nice! I haven't had my face this clear in ages! I'm 26 and have had acne pretty much since I was 13. It even stays un oily when I touch my face repeatedly (it's clear, I want to touch it cause I don't believe it!) In AZ, anything that will help with preventing oil is fantastic.

Pros:

Gel formula
Absorbed well by skin
Feels light on skin

Cons:

Non.e

I live in a humid climate and this BP works wonders because it dries fast, something that my Clinique Acne Solutions didn't do (it would take about 15 minutes to dry). But the Acne.org BP dries in 2 to 3 minutes, but of course I wait a while to apply my moisturizer afterwards to make sure the skin absorbs most of it. LOVE IT!

Pros:

Great BP gel. Goes on smooth and comes with a very generous amount.

Cons:

None at all!

This stuff works great to clear my skin and is some of the best BP out there.

Pros:

works really well, feels better and absorbs better than Neutragena On the Spot treatment

Cons:

none so far

I used the Neutragena On-the-Spot for a few weeks with great results, now I have been continuing the regimen by using Acne.org Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment for about a week and my skin looks better than it has in years.

Pros:

You don't have to wash it off. Works.

Cons:

You have to wait for it to absorb and make sure it doesn't touch your hair or any piece of fabric.

I used this product a while ago and it did made my skin flaky and it burned just a tiny bit. I stopped for a few months (for no apparent reason), but once I used the regimen again, the burning didn't occur and it cleared up my skin in just two days!

Pros:

This is the best Benzoyl Peroxide product I have ever used in my life, and I have tried many of them. Very effective, easily absorbs into skin without leaving a residue, and does not dry out skin.

Cons:

It is a little bit expensive and you have to order it online. But for me this is well worth it and I am happy to order something that works so well (and it's made by Dan, who genuinely cares about helping people, unlike greedy corporations).

When I first saw this product online I thought it was kind of a joke and was extremely skeptical of it. "What's so special about yet another BP product?" I thought, after all I had tried them all. But when used with Dan's regimen it will totally clear your skin! I had mild to moderate acne for 10 years that was extremely persistant. My skin cleared gradually over 3 months on the regimen and by the end of the 3rd month I was totally clear and haven't had a single pimple in months. Dan's products are the best, and this BP is his "workhorse" as he puts it. I had used countless treatments, including many BP treatments before trying the regimen. I strongly urge you give Dan's regimen a shot and see if it works for you. You don't have to use Dan's products for the regimen to work, but I recommend that you do. These are the best products I've ever tried, especially the BP. Just awesome.
