Pros:

Everything...this is simply the best topical acne product there is

Cons:

Practically none...it does make your skin dry but that's to be expected

I've struggled with acne for as long as I can remember, having tried everything short of Accutane...the only thing that consistency, without a doubt works is benzoyl peroxide, and this product is really unique in providing a large amount of high quality bp...basically I highly recommend it to anyone with acne, and thanks Dan Kerns for making an amazing product

Pros:

Excellent stuff. It's the only treatment that has successfully worked for me. I can't go a day without it. Thank you so much!

Cons:

Bleaches everything it comes in contact with - small price to pay for clear skin as far as I'm concerned.

It's cheap, shipments are fast, and it works.

Cons:

don't think it work as good as neutrogena one.

i kind of fell it doesn't clean the pore and kill the bacteria as good as netrogena one. but i have to say i like this product much much better than neutrogena one. i hate RUBBING N cream to my face. will stay with this one. thanks, Dan!

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.
