Pros:

It really works, it doesn't sting, it sinks in well, it doesn't smell,

Cons:

I wouldn't use it too close to delicate areas of skin (around eyes) as they can go temporarily wrinkly -this is true of all benzoyl peroxide and probably this gel is better than most.

It works! I noticed immediate improvement but after 8 weeks of using it as instructed I have skin to be proud of. However, I did only have mild (but worsening) acne. It has got it totally under control. Even if new spots appear they disappear very quickly and don't get big red or painful.

Pros:

Not irritating.
A little goes a long way.
Doesn't seem to stain clothing like other products.

Cons:

None

Awesome product! Finally, something that really seems to consistently work w/o irritating my skin.

Pros:

Wonderful. FAR better product than crusty/white "On The Spot." Love that it's clear & absorbs in 15 min. Was using Differin with no ins. coverage paying over $100 a tube. Dan's BP had it's way with my nasal blackheads that the Diff . couldn't touch.

Cons:

Bleachs some fabrics. Lost 1 shirt in a months time. I rubbed my face pretty hard with the shirt mid-day to remove some dry skin. I just use some of my Diff. money to go buy Polo shirts now! No worries,acne's expensive to deal with. Get used to it!

Dan's got this figured out. I bought 4 tubes of his BP on the first order after reading his "treatment past." My story's very similar. He's been through it all. You can't make that all up. The cleanser is somewhat like Cetaphil...but has some differences. Personally, I'll continue to buy it because it works as well if not better than anything else AND to support Dan's further research on acne. Anyone who hasn't been through it can't help as much. I hope he's a millionaire from this someday.

Pros:

Goes on clear, readily spreads across skin without drying up, does not "clump up" with most moisterizers, less redness and flakes than with Neutrogena On-The-Spot, large size

Cons:

Must be purchased through the Internet

I am 21 years old and just recently started experiencing a resurgence of mild acne. I first started having problems with acne during junior high and high school. As breakouts became less frequent towards the end of high school, however, I made the mistake of assuming that the problem had been largely a puberty-induced one, and stopped taking care of my face. When whiteheads started reappearing in force a few months back, I panicked and went through several over-the-counter products in a period of weeks, hoping to find that ever-elusive overnight miracle product. Needless to say, this only worsened the symptoms. Thanks to Dan's website, I now have a simple, consistent regimen that has been working very well for me: Basis Sensitive Skin soap bar, BP, and Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion. I've been on this regimen for about a month now, and my face has cleared up remarkably. I just recently switched to Dan's BP Gel from Neutrogena On-The-Spot, and it is simply a much better prod
March 6, 2007

Pros:

Even figuring in shipping costs, much cheaper per ounce than similar products available in stores. The gel formulation absorbs better than the cream-based store formula and doesn't roll off when you use moisturizer afterwards.

Cons:

None really. Maybe the fact you have to order it online and wait for a mail order, but that keeps cost low (and it's not a big of problem for us who live in the US compared to foreign countries). At least you get a generous amount in each tube.

This is a great product, and I really appreciate Dan developing it and sharing it with others at a reasonable price. It glides on easily and absorbs well, resulting in using less product compared to what I used of Neutrogena On-the-Spot. It doesn't feel heavy on and doesn't affect moisturizer or makeup application. There is no fragrance. Also, since switching to this gel from On-the-Spot, the regimen works much better for me, and now my skin is almost clear. I find the gel less drying and irritating, too. So, for me, this product is more affordable, more effective, and more pleasant to use than other 2.5% BP products. I would recommend this product to anyone with mild or moderate acne as part of a gentle skin care routine.

Pros:

Will and SHOULD work if followed to the regiment is followed to the dot.. meaning you do all the steps, the way Dan tells you to!
and also, don't pick your existing pimples, don't touch your face too much, and PATIENCE!
Good luck!

Cons:

Bleeches clothes, dries a lot at first.

Gotta love it! it works! get rid of that acne now! get some BP gel!! and Dan's is the best on the market.
March 5, 2007

Pros:

The perfect percentage of BP for skin, at a great price, and simple to use. WONDERFUL!

Cons:

None. GREAT PRODUCT!

Dan Kern's BP formula is wonderful. I was so frustrated because all the BP I could manage to find was too strong at the drug store (10%/ 5%) -- and it came in tiny containers (resulting in it being expensive). Dan's product is the PERFECT percentage of BP for skin, at a great price, and simple to use. THANK YOU DAN!

Works immediately. Doesn't irritate skin, clears sh*t up FASST. Looking forward to seeing how well it prevents new stuff from forming. Another satisfied customer.

Cons:

the small isn't great, but it's not bad either. There really are no "cons". Great product.

March 2, 2007

Pros:

It's totaly affordable and pretty easy to use. I only use it once a day because it was drying out my face too much, but I use the face cleanser morning and night.

Cons:

It bleaches your clothes

Keep with the program and don't give up. IT WILL WORK!!
