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:

Good price for a large amount.

Cons:

No matter how long I wait after I apply this product, my moisturizer always rolls up on my face. I will actually go back to Proactiv (although Proactiv is so much more costly).

Good buy for the product but my skin felt better after using Proactiv's solution and I will continue to use it. I do not have bad acne at all, but I felt the proactiv is a better choice for me.

Pros:

Can help to prevent the formation of future acne.

Cons:

Classified as category 3 product, "safety unknown" by the FDA...... (it use to be category 1, "safe", but they reversed it.) Generates free radicals which will slow the healing process. Linked to cancer, and is known as a tumor promoting agent.

Been tested on mice and is regarded as a tumor promoter in them. Causes redness and dry skin. I used this for a long time and it did help somewhat but never actually cured me of my acne. After doing research on it I've decided to never use it again due to the fact that it is really bad for your skin. It accelerates aging of the skin and when exposed to sunlight becomes a free radical creator which can cause skin cancer. I've begun using Dr. Wexler's products (bought at bath and body works) and me skin has never been this good. Some of the products use salicylic acid which can actually benefit your skin. My advice - use at your own risk.....this stuff may be more dangerous to your health than you think, do some research and decide for yourself!

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!
January 14, 2009

Pros:

I really thought it would work great, but it was much too harsh for my skin.

Cons:

I have pretty sensitive skin, so I never even used the full amount. It always burned, and I even developed broken capillaries on my cheeks from this product. If you have sensitive skin, it's probably best to avoid it.

I really like Dan's philosophy, and think it works great for a lot of people. But if you have sensitive skin, PLEASE avoid using the BP. You don't want to end up with broken capillaries like mine.

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.

Pros:

absorbs fast and well, nice refreshing feeling when applied, unscented

Cons:

none so far

I have been using a 5% BP for a few years before I switched to Acne.org product so I had no problem adjusting to it--and once I do I can never live without it! The gel doesnt leave white residue like my previous BP cream did, and this product doesn't have the horrible medication scent. Together with the AHA it works wonders for my skin. I used to have very oily skin ( after a couple hours of washing my face it would be shiny with grease again, and I always had acne on the side of my face), but 2 weeks after I using both products together I began to see a difference. Now after 3 month of using both they keep my cheek oil-free the entire day. My forehead is still a little oily towards the end of the day, I still have a zit every once in a while, but my skin is pretty much clear 95% of the time. I still have whiteheads on my nose. but it was a dramatic difference from before!! My twice a day routine: neutrogena pore refining cleanser->toner->BP->AHA.

Pros:

none

Cons:

Doesn't stop new acne from forming, takes along time just to kill one zit

I've been on the regimen following it exactly how i'm supposed to for a month now.overall my acne is alittle better but the red spots remain and seem to almost be redding even more. i still get new acne almost everyday. Now they say give it aleast 8 weeks or so but to me it doesn't make sense. if new acne keeps forming almost everyday when in that extra 4 week period is it going to magically stop the new acne from forming...If its not doing it now how does it randomly start working like everyone says it does? i don't really get it.
