Pros:

- gel based
- not white film
- works fast
- last a very long time
- very cheap
- actually works!!

Cons:

- at first it can be a bit drying and irritating
- online only

This stuff really works, I started with the on the spot with i thought worked pretty well and it seemed to clear me up somewhat. Though when i bought this BP i am hooked and it made the on the spot seem so horrible and drying not to mention the white film it would leave behind. This bottle will last a veryyy long time and i am on my second one=] Though i did go through a tough time with this. At first it seem to work great, but after a few weeks my skin seemed to get allergic to it. I was so upset that the only thing that worked for me, i wouldnt be able to use it anymore. I stopped using it for a couple of weeks and noticed how my acne was coming back. Though every time i tried to use it my skin would become very very red and it would swell up and get itchy and just horrible. I finally decided i would rather be swollen and red, anything but have acne again, so i decided to change my moisturizer to see if that would help. To my surprise i was right, the cetephil was too strong and horrible, and complex 15 although i love for under my makeup was just not enough. I received carley's midnight moisturizer for acne prone skin as a sample when i bought the scrub and it Worked!! I love that moisturizer with this BP, i only use it at night so that im able to slather i mean realllllly pack it on a little too much but better safe than sorry...lol.. Well i hope this will help someone out, if they are having any trouble with this or any BP.

Pros:

Cleared up my acne!
Feels very different from other bp (in a good way)
Leaves my skin really smooth
Not drying at all (for me at least)

Cons:

Makes me tear up after applying
Pump will not get all of product out...you will have to cut it.

This really works and I'm really thankful for this product. It has cleared up my acne and people now compliment my skin. This bp is not chalky and white like our bp products. It's actually gel-like and leaves no white patches on your face. It was not drying at all for me. In fact, I barely use moisturizer with it. For a minute after applying, though, I tear up and my eyes get red. It goes away after a minute or 2. The pump will not get all the product out but I still think this is a good deal since you get so much bp. Much much much better than crappy neutrogena bp or persa-gel.

Pros:

I'm a 35 year old guy who has suffered with persistant mild facial acne for 20 years, I had tried everything until I saw this website and the benzoyl peroxide success stories. In short this works, its crazy after having tried everything from facials to antibiotics, to topicals, to yeast free diets ..you name it and I tried it. Now that I have found what i consider a heart breakingingly simple acne cure, i can kiss my old foe acne goodbye. Its been a long time coming :)

Cons:

Very slight redness, and possible drying of skin.

Like so many others on this website have said, the bottom line is benzoyl peroxide 2.5% works, you must apply it day and night, and if you do, within a few weeks you will notice your acne lessening, yes there is some redness,and your acne scars will take longer to disappear but ultimately if you are disciplined with using benzoyl peroxide it will reward you with CLEAR SKIN, I have a smile on my face writing the words 'clear skin' after 20 years of spots!!!

Pros:

it absolutely gets rid of acne!!! its wonderful, i much prefer the gel over bp creams. it never gets white or gets sweat off easily

Cons:

can cause flakiness if you don't know how much to use and start off with too much

This saved my life. I couldn't trust any products and they didn't work well. ANYONE with acne...do the regimen. Study it, adhere to it, and basically follow it religiously and you won't have acne.

Thanks Dan!
This helped me clear up substantially! Thank you Dan for your regimen. I have fairly sensitive skin so I use only 1 pump on my face and 1/2 pump on my neck twice daily. I still flake in many areas even with using half of the recommended amount. It took about 6 months for my face to clear and my skin to look normal (not red and scaly) after starting the regimen. I disagree with those who state "slathering chemicals on your face doesn't work" because for me, it was the only option. I grew up eating well, stayed away from dairy my entire life (I am lactose intolerant), and drinking only water and green tea, and I still got moderately severe acne on my face, chest, and back.

Pros:

- Cheap (yes, in fact, very cheap for the size compared to what you get in australia - even with shipping included)
- The 2.5% works better than the 10% Panoxyl gel, because it didnt flake off everywhere, it felt very smooth and moisturising, went deeper into my skin, could see improvements faster
- Can't tell I have BP on after it dries
- Doesn't like a flaky white mask on my face at all. I looked like a pale white ghost with Benzac gels and Clearasil.
- Works really well against

Cons:

none.

I LOVE THIS STUFFFFFFF

PLEASE keep selling this! I will be devastated if you guys ever discontinue this! Anyone thinking about getting this... don't wait any longer... not kidding... buy it, you wont regret it. But start slowly + follow the regimen precisely :) + I actually look normal with this pimple/acne gel on my face! hehehe BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT :D

Pros:

Very effective
Fairly cheap for the benefits it brings.
Prevents new acne / spots forming.

Cons:

Flaky skin
Time-consuming
Bleaches clothes
Might be causing wrinkles. MIGHT.

Dan's BP is a great product. Despite having to pay a lot in shipping charges (due to living outside of US, no fault of acne.org), the value of the product is immense when considering the emotional benefits it brings. I've tried many products in the past that work for a few weeks, and then become ineffective, but this one just gets better over time. Needs patience, stick with it if you try it, you might need a few consistent months to really get the benefits like i did. I bought this BP so i could have the best skin i could have for my graduation day, for photos etc, and i'm so glad I started using it.

Pros:

IT WORKS!
it works!
it works!

Cons:

Very drying in the beginning.

This stuff actually works. I have been struggling with acne for 10 years. I have done pretty much all the oral antibiotics and topical creams/gels and accutane. All of those only temporarily worked, but after I stopped using them my acne came back. I tried Dan's acne regimen in January 2011 and now my face is ALL clear except for one whitehead because I've been stressed out. My skin has never been this clear and soft before (except for when I was on Accutane, but I didn't like that because of the side effects it came with). Honestly, if you have been struggling with acne, please order this! You have to go through a stage where your skin will be peeling off, but in the end it will all be worth it :) I get so many compliments about my skin now and I hope that you all decide to try his regimen out!

Pros:

Goes on clear. Easy pump dispenser for larger bottle. Works wonders.

Cons:

Stinks a little and bleaches clothing.

I have (had )mild acne with the occassional cystic zit here and there. I have been using this product for 8 months now and during the first 2 weeks it cleared up my face so well and is stayed clear for another 2 weeks after that. After the 4th or 5th my face started breaking out again. I wasn't expecting this and got very discouraged but kept with it. My face is flawless now. It's a very slow process and expect a few set backs along the way. I don't need to use much of the benzoyl peroxide anymore to keep my face clear. Acne is frustrating but have faith in this prodcut.

Pros:

After a few months the result is great

Cons:

dryness and irritation in the beginning.
Need discipline
NO effect on blackheads
Bleaches pillow cases

I tried everything from all the creams in the market to all other prescription treatments. Roacutan about 3 cycles, and at some point i just gave up. Now at 26, with over 12 years of acne,I decided to give a shot as my ACNE was worsening and some permanent scars were showing. It took two months to start showing result, but, man it did! MY pimples are almost gone and it is such a relief... The challenge is now finding a good sun protector
