Pros:

cleared up my skin and also kept future acne at bay...as long as I remembered to apply it.

Cons:

Can irritate your skin at first. I also get a good amount of redness when I apply a lot on my face.

It worked for me after I tried clearasil, tetracycline, retin-a, etc. Benzoyl Peroxide is the best treatment for quickly killing Propionibacterium Acnes bacteria, which is the main culprit for causing acne. Since it is a peroxide, it creates oxygen molecules in your pores and your skin, which creates an unlivable environment for the bacteria. When I first bought it, I did what Daniel recommended and smothered it all over my face. That's probably the best aspect of this product, since other BP treatments come in little tubes are only good for "spot treatment." Within a month of doing this each night, most of the existing acne had gone away. I now continue to apply the treatment to my entire face at night, then dab it onto zits in the morning. Really, the only time I get zits is when I forget to cover my entire face with the stuff. I hope you all buy it and give it a try. Good luck!

Pros:

Dries quicker than "regimen" says. It works. No acne in 2.5 weeks!!!

Cons:

Dries skin, but the jojoba oil and moisturizer applied liberally fix that problem.

Wonderful

LOVE this product. I couldn't believe how much I got for $16. 8 oz. for $16, when in a drugstore the Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment is $9 for a 0.75 oz tube. Great deal, love it, couldn't ask for a better product.

Pros:

So far, it's been working!
You get a lot for your money
Doesn't dry out my skin

Cons:

Sometimes stings my eyes.

I've been using this for about a month now, and I must say I'm happy with it. I bought the 8 oz tube, just in case it didn't work. I use it twice a day (along with AHA 12% Glycolic Acid and Ambi Even and Clear Fade cream), and I can already see a difference. The condition of my skin is so much better. I had a couple of very tiny pimples that disappear after a day or so, but that's it. Right now, it doesn't dry out my skin, but it's getting colder soon, so we'll see. But so far, I'm really happy with it. I didn't check, but it would be great if Dan had a travel version of his products, maybe a 2 or 4 oz. tube!

Pros:

IT WORKS. I had terrible acne 2 years ago, like SCARface! I can't tell you how many different cleansers & treatments I tried to get rid of it. Nothing worked. I was using Clinique for the longest time, then switched to Shiseido and several other brand names. I was about to fork up the moolah to buy Murad but then found this after doing some researching on the internet. I've been using it for more than 2 yrs now as a day treatment, along with the AHA at night. I have about 1 pimple a month. Yay

Cons:

At first it's really drying, but stick with the Regimen EXACTLY (start out using a very small amount).
Buy white pillowcases (it will bleach colored pillowcases & shirts), or use it during the day like I do and switch to using AHA at night.

It works REALLY WELL, but you may need to sacrifice your colorful pillowcases. :)

Pros:

cleared acne 100%, easy to use, great price

Cons:

can be drying if used excessively, but can be easily taken care of.
shipping is expensive...

ONLY thing that cleared my acne. people actually compliment my skin, which is actually twice as flattering for me b/c i used to have really bad skin. used in conjunction with the AHA+, another amazing product. can't live w/o this stuff.
