Pros:

Fantastic results

Cons:

Very Drying (but that is the nature of BP)

I'm only on the 11th day of using this product, but I am the most impressed with it out of any product I've ever used. Aside from a few days of ridiculously dry/flaky/itchy skin, I can definitely tell that it is working! While my skin is red from the product working on it all day, I can tell that my pores are shrinking and my skin is smoothing out. I'm still getting new bumps, but they are healing insanely fast! I am really excited to keep watching my skin heal! I've never seen results like this before! A word of advice - when your skin becomes dry and flaky, resist the urge to scrub it! Never scrub! Scrubbing takes away your skin's chance to heal!

Pros:

doesn't stick, very smooth,

Cons:

I can't think of

if your gonna use BP, you mind as well as use one that doesn't irritate and is very smooth. I've only used couple of weeks so I can't tell you much of my acne clearing, but my cysts are getting smaller and it is much less red. However, I find that after using this BP, new pimples are coming at faster rate, forming zits faster, and sometimes it will spread to next pore, creating several tiny zits. Not sure if it's because of BP. But so far I like it more than any other BPs I've used and definitely will keep using it. If you moisturize well after each use, you won't dry as much and should be fine.

Pros:

I am a 24 year old guy who never had more than one pimple at a time my whole life. Then when I was about 22 I start messing with proactive to try and have perfect skin. It messed my face up so bad, and since then I tried mad products and it just made my face worse. I finally tried the regimen, and Ive been using it for about 3 weeks and it actually is working.

3 weeks and im liking it, hopefully it keeps showing results

Pros:

well absorbed

Cons:

made my skin a bit red..but this is BP.

Due to my super sensitive skin I use this really lightly on my jaw line as I have moderate acne. (even though Dan's regime suggested a more generous amount) It worked better than Spectro's BP and I really like this product. Made my acne die down a lot more. And I sometimes use this as a spot treatment and it gets rid of my acne within 2 days max., which is great! Even though the shipping fee was a bit of a bummer I still think it was worth the purchase.

Pros:

- Clears up acne
- Inexpensive

Cons:

- Not fast acting
- Drying or Itching sometimes

If you want to succeed in this treatment, you have to be PATIENT. It won't clear up acne overnight and it's not a cure, so it's not gonna 100%.clear your acne. I've been using this for about two and half months now and I definitely suggest all of you to give it a try

Pros:

High quality product
No white residue
Large volume for a small price

Cons:

The orange square on the bottle is the same color as the AHA. Its easy to grab the wrong bottle when you don't have your glasses on.

I love this stuff. I have used many different products through the years and Dan's benzoyl peroxide is one of the highest quality products I have encountered. It is as good if not better than many prescription products (like benzaclyn or benzylmycin). It absorbs well and doesn't leave a nasty white residue like may over-the-counter products. I've had to modify my morning routine a little to allow drying time between each step in the regimen, but its a small price to pay for something that works so well.

Pros:

Absorbs completely. Can be worn under makeup easily. Reduces shine. Effective.

Cons:

Drying and peeling during first weeks of use.

I think this is a great product. Before using this I knew benzoyl peroxide works for me. I was using BP in a cleanser and for spot treatment, but had a really bad breakout over the summer and decided to look for something that would be more effective. But not harsh on my skin. This fits the bill. I have light acne with an occasional bad breakout. My breakouts always occur around my mouth. I've been using this for about a month and my skin looks and feels great. No breakouts! If do get something they go away quickly and usually now without coming to a head. My makeup goes on smoother. Also it's helped to reduce shine. I don't use a full finger's length though and i only put it on at night. Occasionally I'll put it on in the morning if there's a small breakout. I've been using this with Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser and Neutrogena Health Skin moisturizer w/ retinol. I recommend those products as well.

Pros:

Clear
Leaves no film!
Dries quickly

Cons:

None

I am in love with this formulation! I've used BP before for my acne, but could never deal with the product during the day because most are a thick white, dry to a chalky film that almost seems to suds up if you try to put moisturizer over the top. Initially it dries out your skin but just stick with it as your skin adjusts. I still apply it morning and night and my skin is not dry or flaky at all like it was in the first couple of weeks. My breakouts are gone and my skin is the clearest it has been in over a decade! :) I actually have the pump top bottle of this product and it lasts a long time. :)

Pros:

None for ME

Cons:

That it didn't work for me.

After reading these awesome reviews on the product I was really excited. After trying Proactiv, Murad, Clindamycin (oral for 3 months Solution for 1 year) Oxy Daily wash Wash, Oxy Spot Treatment, Panoxyl 10 Bar, and every other thing you do at home such as Baking Soda with water and/or hydrogen peroxide. The only thing that worked was the Clindamycin Phosphate Solution and Oral Antibiotics. My face was REALLY REALLY BAD and it somehow managed to clear me completely. Later I stopped using Clindamycin as I thought my face was resistant to it after over a year of beautiful skin. I used THIS product after I stopped using Clindamycin Phosphate and it made me no better after the breakouts I get after stopping Clindamycin. I bought the regimen and followed it very very VERY carefully each and everyday for 5 weeks and saw no improvement I figured after 5 weeks with absolute ZERO improvement there will be nothing more than what I got except for more hyperpigmentation and acne as time goes by.
