Pros:

works really well, feels better and absorbs better than Neutragena On the Spot treatment

Cons:

none so far

I used the Neutragena On-the-Spot for a few weeks with great results, now I have been continuing the regimen by using Acne.org Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment for about a week and my skin looks better than it has in years.

im actually using the whole acne.org product system. the cleanser, treatment, and mostrizer. well, after the treatment, and then put the mostirizer, my skin got SOOOOOOO itchy. i couldnt sleep for 5 hours at night. and it stung too. but most importantly, my skin felt not too oily, but good. but it was SOO FREAKIN itchy. so.. i guess ill have to use it more than a week. i say give it a try?

Pros:

Buying in 16oz quantity made it a worthy buy.

Cons:

Had to pay shipping. Dries out more easily than Kaiser Permanente brand.

Found that I did not need to use as much as I started with. This helped with the drying out. I use Neutrogena wrinkle-free blemish free cleanser, and olay regenerist hydrating cream. These do not have pore clogging ingredients in them.

Pros:

Price, Amount, Goes on Clear, Light weight, Works Fast

Cons:

Shipping

After a week of use I cannot believe how smooth and clear my face is. I've had mild acne for about 2 years now with it getting out of control two summers in a row. I almost bought proactive when I was referred to this site. I immediately changed the way I washed my face and used Murad's salicylic acid gel until my DK's BP arrived. So, by the time I received the BP, a week later, I had already begun to see some result. Well, exactly a week later - my face is almost totally clear and the dark spots I had from past scars are lightening up incredibly fast. I spent $22 on two bottles plus shipping - Much cheaper than Proactive.

Pros:

Seems to be clearing my skin very well. I've used Proactive in the past, but got tired of the cost and my acne flared back up after I stopped with Proactiv. This routine seems to work just as well and is more flexible.

Cons:

Drying effect. Be sure to moisturize.

It definitely seems to be working. I use it in combimation with gentle cleansing products and moisturizers from Mario Badescu. I'm ordering 3 more to save on shipping.

10% Benzoyl Peroxide Lotion/Cream Treatment (store generics)

Pros:

Reduces Inflamed pimples
Great for mild or occasional breakouts
Affordable

Cons:

Not always effective for those with moderate to severe acne (get Accutane!)
May dry or burn face for those with extra sensitive skin
1-5% of this treatment will do nothing. Get 10% only.

This is not a cure for acne. In fact, I only recommend this product to those experiencing mild to fairly mild breakouts or those who very rarely get any breakouts. Great for spot treating those extra inflamed pimples. I HIGHLY recommend the 10% version of this. You can get it for under six bucks if you spend a couple minutes digging for it through the store's generic brands.

Pros:

Everything about the regimen is great except for the new packaging. Having had acnes for years, I have been using the regimen for the past 4.5 years and my skin has been clear. I am extremely grateful to Dan for the work he has done.

Cons:

I find the new 8oz and 16oz packaging incredibly fiddly to use and extremely user unfriendly. I have now given up and just transfer all the contents to a lidded container which I can access easily.

While I applaud the decision to introduce larger, more economical sizes, how a container design like this one could have been chosen defeats me. Also why not retain the old 4oz tube and provide some continuing choice about preferred container? There is a saving of precisely 48 cents between 2x4oz tubes and 1 8oz container - hardly a huge amount which indicates that the 40z tube remains economical.

Pros:

- Does work well

Cons:

- In return, makes yoru scars way worse looking, sometimes not a good trade off

I really cant say... thought ive gone off it now

Pros:

IT WORKS! Very affordable, minimal irritability, good consistency and no harsh chemical smell.

Cons:

BP does stain fabrics so be really careful and its a must for it to absorb in BEFORE applying moisturizer.

This products does work! Although depending on your acne it may take some time. I always had great skin until my early twenties. For years I have tried everything under the sun (and most of them twice!) I ordered Dan Kern's BP along with other products back in March. I went through several cycles of clear up and break out. Now four months later my skin is clearing up and calming down. I actually went out with out make up for the first time last week! Just be patient it will work!

Pros:

Inexpensive, drys fast and it works really well!!!

Cons:

Drys out your skin in the beginning. But only until your skin gets used to the product. It took about a month for my skin to grow accustomed to the product, but now I have no dryness at all. Also, it bleaches any colored fabrics.

This stuff is awesome!!! I don't normally rate products on the internet but this is the only product that has ever work for me so I felt compelled to post something. I never had an acne probelm until I got into my mid twentys. What the heck!!! No matter what I did or how much money I spent on treatments, nothing worked. I was miserable and embarrassed about the condition of my skin. I felt like I would have to just live with the fact that I had bad skin. Then I Googled "acne" one day and found the man who's changed my life!! Dan,this stuff rocks and I will forever be grateful for your efforts in developing an acne product that delivers exacty what it says it will. Thank you so much! I have my life and my beautufil skin back!!!
