Pros:

Clears exsisting moderate acne in about 3 days, reduces shine and redness, and improves tone and texture of skin :D

Cons:

Ever so often a small pimple will form. Blackheads and whiteheads are still present. Grrr. Dries the skin but that's what moisturizers are for.

I have never had severe acne. I never had more than 5 pimples at a time, which is just as irratating as having a dozen. This product cleared my acne in only 3 days. I do occasionally get a pimple but only once in a great while and it usually clears quickly without leaving scars. I would recommend this product to anyone that stuggles with acne :)

Pros:

inexpensive

love love love this stuff. This stuff lasts me forever, doesn't smell, and gets rid of acne fast. It's a gel, which might take some getting used to, but it goes on MUCH more consistently than Clearasil or the like. OTHER PRODUCTS I USE: Dermalogica Dermal Clay cleanser (best facial cleanser you will ever find. get the really big pump size and it lasts for six months!) Dermalogica skin prep scrub (a couple times a week) Dermalogica Skin Refining Masque (2 times a week, after skin prep scrub) Neutrogena Visibly Even daily SPF 15 moisturizer (moisturizes very well and even brightens your skin tone)

Pros:

High quality product, low price.

Cons:

Only the bleaching effect it has on pillows (but that happens with all BP products)

I switched to this BP cream from OXY 'On-The-Spot' 2.5% and have been please the whole time using the OXY cream, it was just very expensive. This gel has been working just as well, and at a much better price. Even delivery to the UK was only 5 days. I'm probably saving $40 a month swapping to this gel. Cheers! -another Dan :)

Pros:

This gel form of benzoyl peroxide really works better than all others. In 2 weeks following the regimen, my face has cleared up.If I do get a zit, it does not turn big and only lasts for 1 or 2 days. This is a must try. remember to stick with it!

Cons:

Did initially dry my skin and cause flaking, which BP doesnt. I use lac-hydryn five lotion with a few drops of jojoba oil and it took care of the dryness and flaking. It even helped improve my skin tone which is great.

You must try this BP gel with the regimen. It absorbs well when you gently massage it into your skin. You need to stick to the regimen even if you suffer break outs.I have moderate acne and it has cleared me up very well. I dont know how well it would work for those who have severe acne. Stick to the regimen!

Pros:

Good stuff

Cons:

None

I got this for like 13 bucks, used it for about 2 weeks and its not bad. It tends to dry out your skin a little but after like an hour my skin goes back to normal. So far it's working so fingers crossed. Recommended for people who have tried everything else.

Pros:

Cleared up my acne, my face has been clear for 6 months now. The product goes on smooth, absorbs in about 10 min, I have beautiful glowing skin.

Cons:

dried out my skin the first month I started using it, then I switched from applying it 2 times a day to 1 time per day, now it never dries out my skin and works great!

I love this product. Stick to it!!! I didn't get results until 2 or 3 months, But I sticked to the regimen because it made sense! Now it's worth it. My skin is beautiful now! I still get maybe 1 or 2 pimples per month, but the BP gel helps clear them up faster than usual.I also love that this product is so affordable, 1 tube lasts 2 months. That is just 6.00 per month for clear skin! I also like how this website has no fake advertisments for the product, It's obvious that Dan is doing this to help people with their acne and not just trying to make money! I recommend every-one to give this product a try and be constistant with it for 3 months and see what happens. Thank-you Dan, you're my hero!

Pros:

BP stops cystic acne in its tracks. Tube is a nice size - Lasts over a month with the regimen.

Cons:

This stuff takes forever to dry - It's fairly watery. Other products dry much faster. On average this takes me about 13 minutes to dry. Oh, and "Clear Skin Regimen" is damn misleading, because I'm far from clear.

It takes a little while for your skin to adjust to this stuff. It seems to have worked for so many people, not me. My forehead especially can't shake these whiteheads. No I'm not using harsh products and yes I wash my face well before applying this stuff twice a day. I have fairly moderate acne. I'd recommend Benzaclin over this stuff any day. It contains 10% BP but is less irritating than this stuff. Strange, huh? So many people say the regimen works like a miracle product. I disagree and feel like I've wasted several months. Yes I followed the steps correctly and no it didn't work. I came in this regimen optimistic, and now I'm leaving it.

Pros:

gentle, and feels fresh when applied. you dont experience the severe breakouts, dryness, and redness that you may experience when begining other acne medications

Cons:

VERY mild dryness and peeling for about 1-2 weeks

just like many of you, i've tried EVERYTHING for my acne. i was compelled to try this particular product (the clear skin regimen) after reading Dan Kern's testimony. it was clear that his goal was not to make money, but to share his success with acne with others like him. so i ordered the topical gel, and went to the drugstore and bought Cetephil (face wash) and a moisturizer with SPF 30 by Eucerin. Ive been on my regimen for about 10 months now, and only had a total of 2 pimples since. my skin started to clear up after only 2-3 weeks of use, and i didnt experience ugly breakouts or severe dryness like some medications. save a trip to the dermotologist, and try Dan's regimen first. you have nothing to loose. i got my best friend, and my brother hooked, and they love it.

Pros:

I like that it comes in 4 oz. (more than any other products I've used before) but it's surprising how fast you go through it. I also like the no nonsense packaging. It's all about the products!

Cons:

Takes time and patience to allow products to be absorbed, rewashing of hands and applying moisturizer. That was my biggest problem before; committing to a regimen (laziness) But like they say, if you want something, you gotta work for it ;)

This regimen works because it makes sense. It's a life long commitment to maintain great skin so... HERE'S TO GREAT SKIN EVERYONE!
