Pros:

Seems to be clearing my skin very well. I've used Proactive in the past, but got tired of the cost and my acne flared back up after I stopped with Proactiv. This routine seems to work just as well and is more flexible.

Cons:

Drying effect. Be sure to moisturize.

It definitely seems to be working. I use it in combimation with gentle cleansing products and moisturizers from Mario Badescu. I'm ordering 3 more to save on shipping.

Pros:

Works immediately. Doesn't irritate skin, clears sh*t up FASST. Looking forward to seeing how well it prevents new stuff from forming. Another satisfied customer.

Cons:

the small isn't great, but it's not bad either. There really are no "cons". Great product.

if you have acne, use this stuff. I've used everything, with results that piss me off. This stuff is the real deal holyfield.

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.

Pros:

glides on smoothly, unscented, no white flakiness like clearasil, affordable, earth- and animal- friendly.

Cons:

none!

this works wonderfully with the rest of the regimen at keeping my skin clear. i'm so glad that i discovered dan kern's products... i was still breaking out at 32 y.o., but got it under control with this bp gel and the rest of the regimen. this is the best stuff that i've ever used. thank you, dan!!

Pros:

Works!

Cons:

None, really.

You absolutely need to moisturize after using this. Even if you don't think you need it.. or even if you feel like your skinny gets too oily - you NEED non-comedogenic moisturizer to balance the over-drying that will inevitably occur if you use the bp gel according to the regimen.

10% Benzoyl Peroxide Lotion/Cream Treatment (store generics)

Pros:

Reduces Inflamed pimples
Great for mild or occasional breakouts
Affordable

Cons:

Not always effective for those with moderate to severe acne (get Accutane!)
May dry or burn face for those with extra sensitive skin
1-5% of this treatment will do nothing. Get 10% only.

This is not a cure for acne. In fact, I only recommend this product to those experiencing mild to fairly mild breakouts or those who very rarely get any breakouts. Great for spot treating those extra inflamed pimples. I HIGHLY recommend the 10% version of this. You can get it for under six bucks if you spend a couple minutes digging for it through the store's generic brands.

Pros:

Inexpensive price.
Goes on easily and smoothly.
No extra useless additives like coloring or scents that people might be allergic to, that would only raise the price.

Cons:

Slightly greasy compared to the discontinued Stiefel/GSK PanOxyl line.
So it doesn't dry 100%!
This makes my face stick to the pillow at night, slightly, unlike the old GSK BP line.

Still a good product. Also, there is a 4.0% BP product out there. I wonder if Dan has considered positioning the product line to have a slightly higher BP %, say, 3.25- 3.5% so people who really need a stronger product (like the old PanOxyl 5) can use this?

Pros:

It works great! I love it! WHEN I can get it from the website without being overcharged by a technical glitch.

Cons:

The website didn't work properly and I got charged twice for the product while being notified that the payment did not go through. Thank goodness I check with my credit card company and discovered this. Otherwise I would have been charged double the cost of the product without receiving it!

Fix your website and don't charge people while telling them the charge did not go through! I love the product but am afraid to order from this website! It obviously does not have a secure payment process.

Pros:

NOTHING

Cons:

Dried my skin
Free radical
Doesn't cure the problem just masks it

I had a a bad breakout and resorted to benzoyl peroxide as a quick fix. It only exacerbated the problem making my skin so dry I couldn't even move my face, the skin started uncontrolabley peeling and became red. NO moisturizer helped I couldn't wear make up because my skin would flake off... I deeply regret this and now use tea tree oil on spots and it dries them up fast without overdrying the surrounding skin..,manuka honey and a sea salt scrub is an awesome exfoliator and moisturizer. benzoyl peroxide is a harsh chemical and although I will not deny that it works, the side effects are way too extreme. They are more holistic ways such as tea tree, mauka honey, vitamin supplements, diet change, and saw palmetto for hormonal acne. Give a more natural attempt a chance it's better for your overall health!

Pros:

worked for 2 weeks

Cons:

stopped working
new pimples

It didn't work for me. I have taken about 1 hour each day for the past 3 months putting on Dan's Regimen. IT WAS THE BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME. WORKED FOR 2 WEEKS, AND THEN EVERYTHING CAM BACK. This is very frustrating, waste of time and money
