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!

Pros:

I have been using this for well over a year and it has kept me clear! Some tubes seem to be more watery than others but it doesn't seem to affect the results. This stuff is even better than the prescrip 2.5 bp I used! Wish it was a little cheaper.

Cons:

Not available locally. Wish I had it in high school!

The best acne product I have used. Been on every acne drug there is besides 'tane as well. I probably won't ever buy another acne product besides this one. For a good moisturizer (for men), I find that Baxter's of CA moisturizer is perfect on top of this.

Pros:

Gets rid of redness, decreases the size of pimples, dries quickly, skin looks so much healthier, very effective, inexpensive.

Cons:

there is no such thing as PERFECT. It can be a little drying, but that's how it works. which is why you should never forget to moisturize after applying the Benzoyl Peroxide.

This is the only product that has ever worked for me as I am sure it will work for you if you repeat the steps carefully as instructed by Daniel Kern. Yup, Dan's the Man :) I cannot thank you enough.

Pros:

goes on clear, easy to use, fairly effective

Cons:

becomes watery when I'm half way through the tube. It was so watery that it slipped from my finger to my new carpet.

Good product but should have warned about shaking well before each usage so that the remaining half of the tube would not have been so watery and wasted.

Pros:

Effective. Nice texture. Good quantity. I like how it is fragrance-free.

Cons:

A little wet and takes a little while to dry. Hard to get the last remains out of the bottle.

It is an acne treatment that works and is at an affordable price unlike when I was on Proactive. I was also using 10% BP at one point, but that stuff dried out my skin like no other. This BP does not dry out my skin at all and I was surprised with its rather quick results! People have complimented on my clear skin a lot now. I don't even have to wear makeup anymore.

Pros:

Left my face with very few inflamed acne lesions

Cons:

Also left my face insanely dry and bleached? Its noticeably lighter where I used this product. My skin is really damaged from this stuff, didn't work out at all. Made it impossible for my redmarks to heal. Also cost a lot with shipping.

This stuff is the worst!

Pros:

Cheap, works wonders if you use it properly. Comes in the gel form which is much better than the Nutrogena on-the-spot cream form I used to use.

Cons:

Bleaches fabrics, but I suppose all BPs do that..?

I've been using the regimen for almost three years now, and its amazing. There have been some breakouts that have been tougher to battle than others, but for the most part, this has been the only acne treatment to ever work for me..and I've tried many! Dan, thanks so much for putting out a more affordable, gel-form BP. And for anyone out there that's skeptical about whether or not the regimen will work for you, just try it. As long as it's followed carefuly, you'll see some amazing results.

Pros:

When it works it really works. Comparatively speaking it is reasonably priced.

Cons:

Inconsistent results over long term. Bleaches black skin. Bleaches clothes. Once start using can't stop as will get major breakout. Skin around eyes got wrinkly (dryness?) after started product - even though don't put it there. Have to order online.

I gave an average rating because for some periods my skin looks fab but for others horrendous. Not sure if it's inconsistent product, application or hormones. I'm making a conscious effort with application now and will rate again after a couple of months ..but I'm up to about 2 tubes/mth now so it's not as cheap as it used to be. Kudos to Dan though. I would encourage others to try it as some have had great results. I would love to hear about the experiences of other black skin users
