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!

Pros:

-It really works!
-Goes on smooth

Cons:

Dry, flaky skin in the beginning, especially around the eyes

I have only been on the regimen for 2 weeks and already my skin is looking great! I only have about 2-3 noticeable pimples. Its very drying but jojoba oil really helps :)! AVOID THE EYE AREA. Only major problem I'm having is my skin on my eye area is red,dry, itchy, and very irrated, so be careful! Other than that, I'm satisfied. Give it a try, don't hesitate :)!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Dries skin a bit(mine). Does not prevent future breakouts, does little on current pimples.

I am a 27 yo male. I recently got acne back. I have whiteheads and blackheads. This dried my skin a bit, and did nothing to stop new acne from forming, and did very little to current acne.

Pros:

Reduces acne!

Cons:

Takes forever to rub and rub and rub and rub in.

Much better than any other BP on the market, and works more effectively than other types of spot treatments. Please, please, please don't change the formula! The regimen is time consuming (takes me 15-20 minutes just to rub in all the goop) but it does work if you're consistent and patient.
