Pros:

I absoluley love the feel of the gel....I have very sensitive skin and this has not irritated it at all. A very wonderful product

Cons:

None

If you truly serious about taking care of your skin, and don't want to spend a fortune.....this is the line to use. The cleanser, the BP Gel (can't wait for the moisturizer) is top of the line and truly makes my skin feel wonderful. I can't ask for any better.

Pros:

Inexpensive, drys fast and it works really well!!!

Cons:

Drys out your skin in the beginning. But only until your skin gets used to the product. It took about a month for my skin to grow accustomed to the product, but now I have no dryness at all. Also, it bleaches any colored fabrics.

This stuff is awesome!!! I don't normally rate products on the internet but this is the only product that has ever work for me so I felt compelled to post something. I never had an acne probelm until I got into my mid twentys. What the heck!!! No matter what I did or how much money I spent on treatments, nothing worked. I was miserable and embarrassed about the condition of my skin. I felt like I would have to just live with the fact that I had bad skin. Then I Googled "acne" one day and found the man who's changed my life!! Dan,this stuff rocks and I will forever be grateful for your efforts in developing an acne product that delivers exacty what it says it will. Thank you so much! I have my life and my beautufil skin back!!!

None

The best BP product you can buy.

Pros:

IT WORKS! It may not work for everyone, but it's inexpensive and gentle enough to try. I'm very glad that I did. Proactiv did not work for me, which is a relief because its expensive!

Cons:

You have to be consistent in your regimen. It also might take too much time for some people, but it was totally worth it for me.

It's definetely worth a try, cheaper than other products, and worked for me when other stuff didnt. Also, I use cetaphil lotion and Nuetregena with make-up removal for a facial wash. It's a method that is working for me, inexpensive, and easy. NOTE: it took about a month or more to work, but after about 2 months, my skin is clear. Definetely worth a try!

Pros:

Gel is vastly superior to Neutrogena creme, glides on and soaks in so the medicine can get right to work.

Cons:

None whatsoever.

LOVE IT!

Pros:

In terms of application, it is very gentle to smear and rub on the skin. There is no foul smell or odour along with it.

Cons:

I don't think Dan Kern has made it realistically clear how his gel is not effective as it seems. It was after three months before it could see any results. You need to create scenarios for every possible skin case. The instructions are not accurate.

If you have patience and you are committed, this will work for you. If not, don't bother.

Pros:

kept away whiteheads, blackheads, typical zits
keeps oily skin from being shiny

Cons:

Caused cystic acne
stains fabrics
potentially cancer causing

Acne.org Benzoyl Peroxide is the best BP product I've tried. I used it for about 3 years. The problem that I faced and the reason I stopped using it was because I started getting occasional cystic acne around my chin and jaw line after 2 years of use. The rest of my face was doing quite well. Had very few if any whiteheads and regular zits. I stopped using Benzoyl Peroxide when I moved to France, where it isn't legal over the counter, anywhere in the EU for that matter. I decided I wasn't comfortable using a product that has caused cancer in animals, or stains my clothes, towels, and sheets. Since going off Benz. Peroxide, I haven't had any cystic acne, but my face is more clogged overall, my forehead isn't as clear as it used to be. I am in the process of searching for an alternative that combats my oily/shiny skin and keeps away whiteheads/small zits.

Pros:

- Over the counter treatment
- Made me realise that I have sensitive skin which completely changed how I treat my acne

Cons:

- Severe redness, inflammation, itching
- Spots still bad

I would advise people not to use this if they have sensitive skin like me. I used two different brands for months upon months at a time during my teens. I literally went through tubes and tubes of the stuff. The inflammation/redness DOES disappear eventually, but quite frankly isn't worth it. I had to walk around with a beetroot face for about a month with barely any results on top of it. I stopped using it on my face and used it on my back only but the itching became too much. Inflammation can make some people's acne worse, so you need to know your skin and whether benzoyl peroxide is going to be worth it.

It works. Period. I'm not exaggerating. Go buy yourself one, and see for yourself. I've had serious acne since I was 11. I'm 14 now, and I only have acne scars left!
