Pros:

it works and it works amazingly. of the 3 2.5% bp's ive tried (ots/proactiv's) the gel is my favorite for application, goes on smooth and easily and leaves no extra residue.

Cons:

none

i've been on the regimen for about a month now, using OTS and my old leftover Proactiv BP, and the regimen has been working somewhat well, but i was still getting a few breakouts here and there. Im not sure if it was Dan's gel or just timing, but as soon as i started using his gel i stopped getting ANY new pimples (1 week so far) and my current ones are going down rediculously fast. I only have 2 remaining pimples which are on their way out fast. this product is so good..as close to a 'miracle' cream as i've ever found..

Pros:

- Works way better than salicylic acid, imo.
- No excessive drying or funky smell
- Gel based substrate (ie: no messes liquid messes to clean up, readily absorbs into skin, no 'white mask' look)

Cons:

- Would be nice if a dry/'just-add-water', travel-version existed for air travelers (considering the new TSA bans on gel based liquids)

An affordable acne fighting solution with an open community forum that encourages free discussion of the product. Good job Dan. (Note: In addition to the cost of the 2.5% benzoyl peroxide gel, I included the costs of the Eucerin Skin SPF-15 Skin Renewal lotion + alpha hydroxy solution + special soap)

Pros:

Sinks into skin fast and leaves no residue whatsoever.

The most effective thing i've ever used (and i've tried everthing!) I really can't say enough good things about it.

Cons:

none

(of course new users can expect dryness, as with any acne treatment. Moisturize after it sinks in and your skin will get used to it within a week or two!!)

This stuff saved my skin. It's a true "secret weapon".

Pros:

No icky residue, clear, absorbs perfectly, doen't feel like you have anything on your skin. WORKS!

Cons:

NONE

I have used this gel for over two years now. I have stopped twice to see if I had outgrown the acne, and to see if other products work. They do not, this is the ONLY thing that keeps me clear, and happy. I highly recommend this. BTW, I am a 29 y.o. female.

Pros:

Works great. Easy to use. Clears up problem skin in just a few weeks. Cheap.

Cons:

Takes the color out of clothes etc.

Loved the product and the results however it was taking the color out of my clothes/towels/pillow cases. So, in the end, it wasn't that cheap. Going to try something new.

Pros:

It rubs in easily, leaves no residue, and is far superior to any other BP product I have ever used. It's simply the best.

Cons:

None

The best BP product you can buy.

Pros:

smooth, easy absorption, works pretty well

Cons:

dries skin, but pretty much all acne meds do that

I have dealt with hormone-based acne for a couple years now, meaning as a side effect of birth control. One pill gave me some pretty bad acne, that I had finally gotten under control using this gel and the gentle cleanser. Of course, right after that I switched to the shot (NEVER EVER USE DEPO!) which brought it all right back again times ten. Right now the only thing that even helps at all is this gel, and I had prior proof that it works. Don't put Accutane or other posions in your system, just keep clean and use the 2.5 BP gel.

Pros:

This stuff is amazing. No smell, no mask-like feeling, so easy to apply!

Cons:

My only complaint is that when I received it, it was frozen solid in the tube...but that's what you get with FedEx in February, I guess. :P

I will never go back to another BP product. Thanks SO MUCH for creating this!

Pros:

It actually dissapears on the skin unlike the Neutrogena gel. Its light and is invisible but works excellently.

Cons:

Its not available at stores and it sucks to have to wait for it in the mail.

It rocks. Well worth the wait. Try it and see.
