Pros:

Works great, a little goes a LONG way, very affordable

Cons:

Medicinal smell, bleaches EVERYTHING

I hate that this stuff bleaches my towels, sheets, clothes, etc. and that it smells medicinal, but it's the only thing that works on my acne other than constant oral antibiotics. My acne problem is on both legs, so I have to use a lot of product and this one spreads easily and isn't drying.

Pros:

This stuff is great and when used with the regimen has produced great results for me. I use it with Neutrogena Sensitive Skin wash and Neutrogena Helahty Skin Face location with AHA. My skin hasn't been this good for years.

Cons:

Does bleach fabrics a bit, especially bed sheets I find, but not a huge deal.

I recomnmend it!

Pros:

Works better than a cream formula, since it doesn't ball up with moisturizer and is easier to apply. Clear gel, so if you go to a pool or something it won't produce a waterish residue. A bigger size than the Neutrogena-On-the-Spot.

Cons:

Only available online, not in stores...

I only got this product 3 days ago. I have been doing this regimen for about a month now, but all that time with the Neutrogena stuff. My skin was almost clear, but with 2 pimples and about 6 blackheads. But after using THIS gel, I have an acne-free face now. I definitely recommend it to anyone.

Pros:

Amazing product..it really works. At first, it made my skin red, irritated and dry. I started putting moisturuzer every morning and now my skin is getting clearer. I only put moisturizer every morning and just Dan Kern's BP every evening. Thanks Dan!

Cons:

Not sold in stores

It's all worth it!

Seeking Advice

Okay sooo I've been using the regimen for 2 years now and I will say that it definitely cleared up my skin for the most part (Male, 21, oily) after using so many different washes, antibiotics, etc... However, after about a year and a half in, my acne has come back (not as severe) even though I have stuck to this regimen night and day every single day. Over time I found what worked best for me was:

-Acne.org cleanser or Cetaphil gentle cleanser

-Acne.org B.P Treatment 

-Cera Ve Moisturizing Cream

-CLEAN DIET aka no dairy

So what I'm trying now is adding Jojoba Oil with the moisturizer (always was hesitant bc my skin is VERY oily) and so far haven't seen results. I've only been doing this for a month so definitely not enough time to tell. But if there are any men out there with oily skin that by some chance have had a similar situation please let me know if there is anything you switched up with the routine or if there is something you found that works for your oily skin. Thanks :)

Esperando resultados

hace tres semanas que me llego mi producto, lo compre en Amazon y la verdad esta mas caro ah y me tardo en llegar en fin el punto es que les dar mi resea de estas 3 semanas, el primer da que me lo aplique fue normal, no sent nada raro, pero como a los 3 das de aplicación empece a sentir mi piel irritada, me arda moderadamente, y con los das empece a ver que mi piel se escamaba y as fue por el tiempo que llevo us;ndolo 3 semanas, algo que no me gusta es que al escamarse la piel no puedo usar maquillaje ya que se ve feo puesto y eso es normal y lógico ya que el rgimen esta actuando, en la semana 2 me salieron dos barros en mi mejilla y la verdad me dolan mucho (esos dos granos siempre me han salido en esa parte de la mejilla no se porque, quiz; porque esa ;rea tiene infección, en fin tambin me salieron unos barritos chiquitos en la barbilla pero no como acn sino como un barrito  normales, estoy siguiendo el rgimen tal cual es y por ahora si veo que ha apagado los granos que tenia les adjunto unas fotos de hace 3 semanas atr;s y las de ahora, algo de lo que me he dado cuenta es que ahora tengo mas abiertos los poros

improvement noticed

i started using this product 3 weeks ago. just the treatment and i have seen sinificant changes though my acne keeps coming back. especially around my chin and jaw line. at least the pimples dry faster which is a good thing but i dnt know why i keep getting newer breakouts. the skin around my eyes can not stand the benzoyl. it makes it look ages older and all wrinkly. so when i apply the benzoyl, i try as much as possible to avoid areas around my eyes and neck. otherwise, am still hopeful it will work for me too and completely eliminate the jaw line acne too.

So far so good
I bought this about 2 months ago and was only using it sparadically until my acne got worse. I only get acne on the lower half of my face, with my chin being the main concern. I break out in cystic acne,although mild, can still leave some hyperpigmentation and scars. I have been using this once a day, every night before bed. I ONLY apply it to my chin and only use little more then a pea sized amount . I was previously using it twice a day as suggested, however, it was drying my skin out something terrible. My skin is still dry and flaky ,even while using this once a day. I also use the moisturizer (which I love) and a couple of drops of jojaba oil after the BP has been absorbed. I have also been spot treating a couple of dark marks that have been lingering for a while with the glycolic acid. The acne on my chin is mostly hormonal but I'm sick of the dark marks and scarring it is leaving on my skin. So far I have been using the benzoyl peroxide faithfully for about 3 weeks (the glycolic every few days, as I found it would leave almost an orange tint to my skin where I applied it .. which does disappear after a few days thank God) Overall, I have definetly noticed a reduction in the amount of cysts on my chin. Although the flaking is unpleasant , I feel like there has been a reduction in the hyperpigmentation as well as you can literally "peel off" your dark marks (gross I know) I also think time has played a part in the reduction of dark marks but the BP has definetly helped. If your reading this and unsure about buying , just give it a shot. I will update in a month or so, but as of right now I am happy with this product. To Respond to a comment I saw below mine... I had zero issues with the shipping time. I ordered from Canada and did not pay extra for quicker shipping. I got mine in six days which is nothing I'm going to complain about.

How is it going now? Is your skin very dry still?
August 18, 2017
Hey, I like your review,just wondering how the treatment is going for you now?

Works, but...
I'm a 36 year old male who has struggled with acne and have long used this product. It does work, but the quality has gone down a bit. Feels a bit diluted. Personally I've gotten tired of smearing this all over my face every day. It will dry your skin and bleach everything including pillow cases and sheets. I'm going to try switching to a wash.
