Pros:

good for small pimples, seems to make my small pimples go away

Cons:

doesn't work to good there is a pimple on my nose and it doesn't seem to go away with the bp

Well I been using the regimen for 2 weeks now and my acne seems to get clearer but what sucks is that the big pimples don't go away it just stays the same omg!!!!!!

Pros:

It works!!!!!!!

Cons:

It can be drying, but it is benzoyl peroxide, after all. I would like a different dispensing "head" to make for easier travel.

I LOVE this product! I've used many, many products over the years, but have never been successful in my battle against acne -- until now! Since using The Regimen, I don't have breakouts. I will get a pimple every now & then, mainly when I'm not using The Regimen correclty/consistently, but it goes away very quickly once I return to proper usage. I've always been told that I was pretty in spite of my acne, but for the first time in my entire life, I was told recently that I have beautiful skin. The Regimen may seem a little pricey, but this makes it worth it -- that, and the fact that the products last forever! If you haven't bought it yet, do so now -- your search for an acne treatment that works is over!

Pros:

It is cheap AND effective!

Cons:

The application process is time-consuming, and it will bleach out all your hand towels

I have tried many acne cures, but this will be the last, as there is no need for me to look any further! It worked like a charm for me. After the initial 8-week period, my skin was clear and I was able to drop down to one application a day (at night).

Pros:

Easy to apply!
Keep me acne-free!

Cons:

Nothing!

I have been using this product for 2 years now. And it works! It can be drying at first but I put more moisturizer and it's all good! :) Now, I am acne-free! Sometimes I get 1 or 2 pimples, but the treatment get rid of them really fast! Just need to be patient and stick to the regimen!

Pros:

Cán't think of one

Cons:

makes my face really red and dry
expensive shipping

I used this product for 2 weeks, starting slowly, just like Dan's instructions. The 1st week was just fine, but during the 2nd, most parts of my face were turning red,and peeling. My parents started to ask me all the time if I was ok, and at the end of the 2nd week, they told me to stop using it. It has been 2 days and my face is still dry. I'll try again, but this time, with a verrryyy small amount.

Pros:

This bp gel blends very well into my skin and it does not ball up. Most importantly, with the exception of a few little ones every so often, I am clear and people can't even believe I ever had a problem with acne!

Cons:

I get a little dry but that is to be expected and my moisterizer ( Lac- Hydrin 5 plus a few drops of Jojoba oil) takes care of it.

This is the shining star of my regimen. It has cleared me up the way nothing else has done. You have to give it a couple of weeks to really purge your skin, but it is soooooo worth it.

Pros:

Cheap for the quantity you get

Cons:

made my skin ultra oily
did not absorb..... ever

I really wanted to be able to use this product but it never absorbed into by skin and made me look like I had a super shiny face. Even after hours it just seemed to sit on top of my skin like a lovely coat of wax all dry and shiny. I am returning, and continuing to use Neutrogena's on the spot treatment that seems to do a much nicer job.

Pros:

Easy to spread because of gel-like texture
2.5% benzoyl peroxide is milder than 10%
Gets rid of smaller pimples like white heads or bumps

Cons:

Drying
Makes skin flaky until your skin gets used to it

If you're not allergic to benzoyl peroxide, this might work well for you. I didn't follow Dan's regime as closely as I should, but at first I used this as an acne spot treatment instead of all over my face since my spots are often concentrated in one area. It takes a few days to get rid if the small ones, but I couldn't really prevent cystic acne or treat it any better than my old treatments. After trying to put this all over I noticed my eyes started watering like crazy and the following day I had red stripes right below my undereye circles. I put this all over for another couple of days then stopped b/c I wanted to see if this was the culprit. The redness was completely gone so I'll have to give this up. I've decided to make peace with my acne and moisturize more so makeup actually looks good when I try to cover it. All these years of trying to treat it only dried my skin out and possibly made it worse.

Pros:

Clears skin, affordable, generous amount of solutions, amazing website with testimonials and instructional videos.

Cons:

The first time i ramped up the BP, got a chemical burn on my face and felt like the worst sunburn ever, but after that never had a problem. Products will bleach hand and face towels.

Excellent Regimen, stick to the steps.
