Pros:

Amazing! Works so well, seen a massive improvement after only a few days. Also leaves my skin nice and dry, my skin looks perfect when it is dry and not covered in oil all day :)

Cons:

Only con I can think of is that there isn't a U.K stockist, so it takes forever to arrive and also costs quite a lot, but it is so worth it!

Also seeing such a massive imporvement withing a week (Swithed from 5% to this)

Amazing, the best BP treatment I've ever used, I can't believe I didn't come across this sooner. Give it a try, chances are it will work, its like god in a bottle :)

Pros:

Inexpensive, large tube, odorless, thin gel....not chalky

Cons:

Dried me out terribly even with moisturizer way more than neutogeana spot control 2.5% BP, my face looked parched actually had a bumpy red rash from it......unattractive!!

Will be going back to Neutrogeana, do not care about the price difference when it comes to my face. I am shocked that I did not like this, i thought it was a no brainer. I have very high expections and having less acne on crusty, parched red skin is no bonus to me. Even using it every other day once a day did not satisfy me. Beware of high reviews from people who are also on antibiotics because that is what is helping there acne, not the gel. Not for me....

Pros:

Buying in 16oz quantity made it a worthy buy.

Cons:

Had to pay shipping. Dries out more easily than Kaiser Permanente brand.

Found that I did not need to use as much as I started with. This helped with the drying out. I use Neutrogena wrinkle-free blemish free cleanser, and olay regenerist hydrating cream. These do not have pore clogging ingredients in them.

Pros:

Light, non-irritating, very easily absorbed without the poreclogging ingredients in "vanishing" type creams, doesn't leave a peeling residue like other gels, CHEAP, not tested on animals, prevents breaking out!

Cons:

None.

Highly recommended for anyone who has acne.

Pros:

Great price, works quickly, easy to use, no smell, less drying then previosly used products.

Cons:

None!

I had mild to moderate acne on my face my whole adult life. Found this by chance on the internet. (My next step was going to be an expensive dermotologist.) I love this stuff! I don't find it to be too drying. I put it on after my shower, it dries while I do my hair, and then I mosturize and put make-up on. At night, an hour or more before bed, I wash my face with the cleanser, put BP on thick, let it dry, mosturize and go to bed. Won't stain sheets if you let it dry first! My face has not been this clear in years. It has really helped my to be more confident. Great product!

Pros:

Fab, dries pretty fast, WORKS (most importantly)

Cons:

Bleaches fabrics

Dan, I think I love you. I read a whole bunch of these reviews thinking they were faked by a large crew of underpaid workers in your basement or something but now, I believe. I bought this cheap (large) tube of BP off of your site on Sunday. It arrived Tuesday morning, although that's probably because I live literally a city away from your company. In any case, that night I excitedly applied the "finger" of lotion to my face and neck and waited for it to dry. I have to say that many of you are whiners- It doesn't take that long to dry. Really, now. It only takes about a minute. Then I applied moisturizer and went to sleep. I woke up and blammo! Insta-improvement. Face smoother. Proto-pimples stopped dead in their tracks. It was a dream come true. Mind you, I have moderate acne on my chin and cheeks and a little on the underside of my jaw. It's really helped. Just follow Supreme Leader Dan's regimen and you'll be alright.

Pros:

Price, Amount, Goes on Clear, Light weight, Works Fast

Cons:

Shipping

After a week of use I cannot believe how smooth and clear my face is. I've had mild acne for about 2 years now with it getting out of control two summers in a row. I almost bought proactive when I was referred to this site. I immediately changed the way I washed my face and used Murad's salicylic acid gel until my DK's BP arrived. So, by the time I received the BP, a week later, I had already begun to see some result. Well, exactly a week later - my face is almost totally clear and the dark spots I had from past scars are lightening up incredibly fast. I spent $22 on two bottles plus shipping - Much cheaper than Proactive.

Pros:

Easy on the skin; doesn't leave any residue like salicylic acid treatments do; works!

Cons:

I will be reducing usage in the winter as my skin gets very dry.

The single best acne treatment you can buy. All skin is different, but this works for me.
