Pros:

Tested product. Ridiculous concept and over priced. Buy a 5% and use evry other day or use daily. Paying a high price for this product is idiotic.

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!

made my face kind of red,dry and itchy

The acne treatment was a good try, especially if you have tried everything!

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!

Pros:

it clears acne for a little bit

Cons:

it makes skin sensitive!!!! you burn and turn red

just don't use anything! its always better to leave ur skin natural. You beak out due to hormones and when you get older you will not break out soo much. I right now have acne and whiteheads all over my face. Also rough skin on my forehead and checks because I rubbed it! bad mistake, but i would have gotten soo much acne because if I didn't use the produce. it made my skin break out more. I wish i just listen to my parents and not use anything. they ahve nice skina dn so do my brothers and sisters. Its difficult for me becaue I am embarrasses of my skin. But it makes me feel better to tell peoople to just love ur skin and you don't need chemicals to improve ur skin. it will get better in time when you get older. I hope mine will.. good luck everyone. Be natural!

Pros:

seems to help a lot of people
huge tube for the money

Cons:

SEVERE allergic reaction to BP including dizzy spells, headaches and itchiness all over the body.

BP at first was making my face red, itchy and it stung. Then I started getting dizzy spells and lightheadedness (although at the time I didn't think it could possibly be the BP). Then I got a MAJOR pounding headache around my eyes. I couldn't get up to get some water without feeling like I was going to throw up. Then I got itchy ALL over my body! I thought I had bed bugs or body lice or I was going crazy. I thought maybe I had iron deficiency. It turns out all of this was because I'm so sensitive to BP! I can't use it! So dissapointing! I was never allergic to it before! I wish Dan would make a huge tube of something for people who are allergic to BP. *hint* Dan!

Pros:

None

Cons:

-Made acne 5 times worse
-Dried my skin out worse then any other product
-Made my cheeks really red (looks like a sunburn)
-Made my back and neck really itchy and dry
-Expensive with s&h.

I have very sensitive skin, but NOTHING I have ever used has messed up my skin this much (and trust me I have tried almost everything). I was on Proactiv before I started using this and I don't know why it gets such a bad reputation cause it cleared me up a lot but I still had about 5 pimples on my forehead so I switched hoping I would get completely clear, but this did the complete opposite. My acne is way worse then it was before I started using Proactiv, and not only that, my chin and under my nose is extremely dry and its like peeling. I would NOT recommend this to anyone and I don't know why it has such good ratings cause I would have been better off just using soap and water. And it looks cheap and works worse then the cheapest OTC products but its more expensive then most things I've tried, I got the 2-4 month big kit or whatever and it came out to $80 with shipping and handling. So I say don't even waste your time and money with this stuff its some of the worst stuff out there (well for me it is). I don't know why I trusted Dan Kern, hes not a doctor or a famous skin care person, hes just a normal person. I never even heard of him before this stuff, I shouldn't have trusted him :/
