Pros:

Price and size

Cons:

Did not work

I truly wanted this to work for me. I've used Neutrogena BP and Proactive BP, both worked well for me. I tried this because of the price/size, but, it did not work. I really wish it would have. I used it for over a month, breakouts increased as I used it, breakouts went away when I switched back to Neutrogena. As a side note, I have extremely temperamental skin and have had acne for 18 years. It's never completely gone away, I can just manage it. I'm sure it may work for others whose skin is not as bad as mine.

Pros:

4oz for good price
Not stripping and irritating
Does it's job

Cons:

Feels too watery, needs to be thicker

Good product. The %10 was too irritating and made my skin peel. And On-The-Spot was too expensive for so little. So I've been using this and it works fine.

Pros:

nice bottle & smell.

Cons:

I find it doesn't absorb as well as Dan says it will. I follow his steps but it seems that my skin has gotten worse. I have mild acne also, and ive been on the regimen for a few months now. Slight improvement at beginning.

I'd give it a shot. its worth the money. But don't expect such wonderous improvements as Dan claims. Myself, I will keep trudging on, maybe until the bottle and cleanser runs out...

Pros:

BP stops cystic acne in its tracks. Tube is a nice size - Lasts over a month with the regimen.

Cons:

This stuff takes forever to dry - It's fairly watery. Other products dry much faster. On average this takes me about 13 minutes to dry. Oh, and "Clear Skin Regimen" is damn misleading, because I'm far from clear.

It takes a little while for your skin to adjust to this stuff. It seems to have worked for so many people, not me. My forehead especially can't shake these whiteheads. No I'm not using harsh products and yes I wash my face well before applying this stuff twice a day. I have fairly moderate acne. I'd recommend Benzaclin over this stuff any day. It contains 10% BP but is less irritating than this stuff. Strange, huh? So many people say the regimen works like a miracle product. I disagree and feel like I've wasted several months. Yes I followed the steps correctly and no it didn't work. I came in this regimen optimistic, and now I'm leaving it.

Pros:

Liked 4oz package size

Cons:

Didn't work on my skin - in fact caused a breakout. Went back to Proactiv which I had switched from to sample this product as a cheaper alternative.

My skin didn't like it!
