Pros:

This stuff was the only thing that got my skin clear. It has a great consistency and is affordable.

Cons:

Only thing I can really think of is that it dried my skin out really bad for awhile until I reduced the amount I used, but it really was not a big deal. Also I'm really glad they are making it in bigger bottles, because the small tubes ran out way to

This product is awesome, Daniel Kern is awesome and I am forever indebted to him!!

Pros:

Double the size and half the price of Proactiv.

Cons:

A little more watery so it doesn't spread as well as Proactiv's lotion. The odor is more offensive too. But these are minor quibbles.

Double the size, half the price, and works exactly the same as Proactiv. It's hard to beat that.

Cons:

As far as offering a complete solution, this is still far from it.

Definatly is a wise decision not to go with the 10%, 2.5% really does seem to be just as powerful but without the redness and drying. I am still looking for an actual complete clearing treatment. If anyone has heard much about the Zeno acne treatment, please let me know, that is my next step in my fight against acne I am going to take. At $150 and offering a 30-day money back guarantee I am hoping that this will actually make a big impact. The ad I am looking at now states that 90% of blemishes treated with the Zeno disappeared within 24 hours!

Pros:

Worked well for the first few months.

Cons:

After initial period, acne came back. And it's hard to pay for a couple bottles + shipping every couple months when you're in college... Also, what happens over the long term when your skin has been absorbing this chemical into your body?

I've been using this product for about 4 years. It's been great for the most part, but I still have a lot of acne AND my skin is very oily. I went to a different acne website and found that topical creams can be way detrimental to your system. And what's more; they just treat the result of not taking care of your body. You have to figure out what toxins your skin is trying to get rid of. Food CAN DEFINITELY affect your acne, especially when you're eating lots of refined foods, sugar and not enough good fats. Many of us are veterans of acne. Topical creams might have long term effects we don't know about. Try going natural for awhile and see how you feel inside AND out. (go to the acne is dead website!)

Pros:

nill

Cons:

-will dry your skin out horribly
-doesnt prevent pimples any more effectively than sugar water

i started using this product in the hope i had found a cure for my acne, in reality all i got was dissapointment and horribly dry, and burning skin. i have used many products and never found one that was able to achieve such undesirable results. shame on you daniel kern!
