Pros:

This BP gel is awesome. Helped rid my face of acne. i break out lie once every 2 weeks, but the zit goes away after a day or 2.

Cons:

Does very little for blackheads. I cant apply the gel more than once a day, it tends to dry out my skin really bad around my mouth.

I've been using DANS REGIMEN for almost 4 months, and y acne has never been better. plus the products are pretty cheap

Pros:

Huge tube! Goes on smooth and doesn't dry out my skin.

Cons:

Not available in stores.

This stuff works great! My skin began clearing up immediately and after a few months I wasn't having break outs anymore at all! Then I ran out of it and started using the neutrogena stuff again and within a week I have a huge zit!!! Lesson learned, I will make sure to order before I run out next time!

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:

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:

Amazing product- best BP in the world, and very good price for its size

Cons:

None whatsoever, except that it's not sold in stores

Get this product. I was kinda skeptical at first because I had second thoughts about dishing money over online for acne products. However, this stuff is amazing. I am 99% clear and women are actually asking ME out on dates. Get this because you have nothing to lose.

Pros:

The gels clears up zits you may already have and keeps them away. I still have a hormonal breakout one a month but it heals in 3 days and I can still keep it under control.

Cons:

should be sold in stores
takes a while to apply
doesn't work as well as on-the-spot I think

I've had acne for 7 years and since I started the regimen my skin has improved dramatically. I used to have severely moderate acne and "bad skin" but now I think it has improved to "good skin." I am usually clear or only have 1-3 little red spots that clear up quickly. I went to so many derms that seemed to pick medicines out of thin air and had no idea what they were doing. Be patient and give it a shot! Don't forget to moisturize; I have oily skin but it helps!

Pros:

it does help clear pimples

Cons:

my skin was never 100% clear and often felt irritated and was still shiny.

i felt that although it did keep my acne at bay the chemicals irritated my skin somewhat and often left it reddish. i also hated putting the amounts of bp Dan recommended...it was scary to think my skin would need to rely on such amounts bp. i am willing to try other forms of bp, however, in hopes that it will not irritate my skin at all and hopefully i will be able to apply it in smaller amounts. i do believe benzoyl peroxide is a tried and true acne fighter and a treatment we should all try.
