Pros:

Clears out even the most stubborn acne, affordable and prevents future acne.

Cons:

Will leave skin very dry.

I recieved a traveler size from a friend who said this stuff really helped cleared her acne and I was hesistant at first, but it honestly works really well. I have specific spots on my face that likes to break out from time to time and I use the BP to clear it out quickly and prevents future acne. I don't use it everyday because my acne severity is light, but I use it when I need it and it's something that I think everyone should have!

Pros:

-Best percentage of Benzoyl Peroxide, so it doesn't dry out your skin
-Cleared my acne in less than 3 days
-Lots of product in a little travel size bottle which is what i've used for a year! During that year, i've had the clearest skin of my l

Cons:

-it's not full proof, but always better than other products!

I'm not a person with much acne in the first place, but every week before my period and during I would break out just a bit, maybe two or three big pimples on my forehead. It doesn't sound bad, but up close they look awful and were extremely painful. Once I used this treatment though, it goes away in an extremely short amount of time. If I catch it before the acne breaks through my skin, I can even get rid of it before it really shows. Overall, this product works amazingly as an on-the-spot acne treatment. I can't live without it, and I always try to recommend it to my friends who have tried products like pro-activ and the new system by Clean and Clear. They haven't gotten the best results, but have expressed interest in this product because of my clear skin as a result of it. I have extremely dry and sensitive skin as well, so this product is my holy grail product! Thanks Daniel for creating such a wonderful product, and keeping my skin clear!

Pros:

I am 38 years old and have struggled with acne since my teenage years. I have tried everything including accutane which only worked for a few years. This product with the regimin has been absolutely amazing. Thank you Dan. I have beautiful skin!!

Cons:

Nothing but taking the time to do the regimin correctly.

This product has produced incredible results and there is nothing even close to this product on the market in this volume and at this price. I really have done it all and am so happy to have these prodicts. Cleared my skin in 3 months.

Very Gentle, No irritating fragrance, and very effective and affordable!

Cons:

A little bit drying, but not bad compared to most b.p.'s.

Wonderful product, great consistency, and affordability. I wouldn't change a single thing :) Keep it going, Dan!

Pros:

Everything about the regimen is great except for the new packaging. Having had acnes for years, I have been using the regimen for the past 4.5 years and my skin has been clear. I am extremely grateful to Dan for the work he has done.

Cons:

I find the new 8oz and 16oz packaging incredibly fiddly to use and extremely user unfriendly. I have now given up and just transfer all the contents to a lidded container which I can access easily.

While I applaud the decision to introduce larger, more economical sizes, how a container design like this one could have been chosen defeats me. Also why not retain the old 4oz tube and provide some continuing choice about preferred container? There is a saving of precisely 48 cents between 2x4oz tubes and 1 8oz container - hardly a huge amount which indicates that the 40z tube remains economical.

Pros:

Gets rid of Acne Realllllllly Fast! Dries them up!

Cons:

Turns my face BEAT red.. and i dont have sensetive skin, and i am naturally tan.

Great as a nightly treatment, NOT durning the day, unless you want to look like as red as an apple. Im not allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide Either, i know im not because Proactiv Didnt bother me at all, and that also contains 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide. GREAT AS A NIGHTLY TREATMENT, THOUGH!

Pros:

IT WORKS! Very affordable, minimal irritability, good consistency and no harsh chemical smell.

Cons:

BP does stain fabrics so be really careful and its a must for it to absorb in BEFORE applying moisturizer.

This products does work! Although depending on your acne it may take some time. I always had great skin until my early twenties. For years I have tried everything under the sun (and most of them twice!) I ordered Dan Kern's BP along with other products back in March. I went through several cycles of clear up and break out. Now four months later my skin is clearing up and calming down. I actually went out with out make up for the first time last week! Just be patient it will work!
