Acne.org : Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%)

It is a good product. I think everyone should at least try it.

It's cheap, effective and available over the counter. Use it long term and you can start to manage the dry skin. It's not a cure - it's just a treatment. I have recommended to many.

Holy macaroni - Neutrogena's on the spot was burning the HECK outta my skin every night, then the moisturizing just made me want to DIE... So for some reason, this finally comes in the mail, and when I go to put it on last night (wincing) there was no stinging! I was shocked. There must be some ingredient in Neutrogena's bp that was burning my already inflamed skin. Looking forward to sticking to the regimen!

Watch out the amount of BP you tried to use, maybe just try to apply the medicine on the spot rather than whole face.

I went a head and bought the treatment thinking it would dry up the pimples, but after using it for a month my skin was peeling horrendously on both sides of my cheeks, because of the strong bp; and i got dark dried patches on each side. Thinking those dark dry spots would good away, i continued using the bp but the dry patches left(a lot) of small specs of dark reddish scars which i did not have before starting the regimen now i have to deal with the scars how great!

Dan's regimen is the only product to get my face infomercial clear. My skin cleared up faster than what it says on his "What to Expect" section and I never had purging. My skin became gradually clear each day, and I was using two pumps by the second week. The product takes a while to apply. I recommend putting on one pump first because it dries quickly. Then apply the second pump. If I glob it all on at one time it takes much longer to soak in. Then I wait 10-15 minutes. You'll feel the drying, but it helped expedite the process of clearing. Apparently the drying is helpful to the skin. Because the second step of applying BP took so long I tried Max Clarity which made some serious promises about not needing moisturizing and not purging but it was a fail for me. So I came back to what works. My skin is back to its radiate self in about a week. The product require a great moisturizing. Dan's moisturizing is the only one I find to not be a nuisance due to pilling. However, the moisturizing you need is so intense that it can cross the fine line between glowing and oily shine.

If you are frustrated with your skin, give this a try. It won't clear everything up in a week, but it makes your skin look a lot better after just a few days. I am going to continue with this regimen for as long as it continues working for me. Once my skin is used to the treatment I am going to begin using the Neutrogena Rapid Clear 2-in-1 fight and fade gel again. This works very good for scars. Highly recommend it for those pesky little marks left behind! Don't give up on this if you don't see results right away, like anything you should stick with it for some weeks. I am very pleased with it.

Simply a phenomenal product. Obvious side effects are some redness and dryness, especially with folks that have dry skin (like me), but you stay clear. I know that when I use Dan's BP, my face will be clear in the morning. Supernatural stuff. Don't forget to moisturize!

I really wanted this product to work. I don't think it's a bad product, but I do think that my skin was allergic to something in it. I've used BP before and I new what to expect... drying, peeling, some irritation, etc. The only thing I can conclude is that I must have been allergic or really sensitive to one of the ingredients in the product. My skin felt like it was on fire and it made me really really oily all day. It also made my eyes extremely dry to the point of using eye drops (I did keep the product away from my eyes and lips). I finally had to stop using it.Overall, I think this is a good product for most, but can be troublesome if you have sensitive skin. You should give it a try to see how it works for you.

I followed this regimen religiously for 6 weeks and not only was my skin extremely dry and irritated, my acne didn't clear up at all. I think all the irritation actually made my acne worse - my skin was flaky/peeling/red and hurt to touch or even move. This may work for some people, but I found out that my skin is very sensitive to benzoyl peroxide.
