Pros:

Clears up acne better than anything I have ever used
Goes on easily and absorbs well

Cons:

Can leave face red/tan, especially if you use a lot
seems to cause more hyper-pigmentation for me

This cleared up my acne very well, but leaves my face tan/red if I use a lot.

Pros:

Goes on smooth, absorbs well, doesn't sting, works, is light unlike some other products

Cons:

Bleaches fabric, stings my eyes a little from the smell,

I think that this treatment works really well. It's the best treatment I've found. I use the regimen cleanser, treatment, moisturizer, and AHA. At first a lot of my blackheads weren't clearing up so I tried a gentle toner without alcohol in it and that did the trick. My face is clearer than it ever had been. My acne was so bad as a teenager that I have so many scars it looks like my face is broken out when it's not. I was on accutane and that made my face a lot better but I was still always broke out a little all the time. I tried proactive when it first came out and it peeled my skin, then I tried it again at 23 and it worked fairly well. Then I wanted something that I didn't have to pay a lot for so I tried this and I love it. I only use it at night and my face stays clear and if I get a pimple it clears up in about a day. I recommend if the regimen isn't working at first try a gentle toner. Boots brand at target has some really good ones and they aren't too expensive. It made all the difference for me!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

Great for slight bacne
16 oz lasts for months

Cons:

I felt it was too oily. Too much emphasis was put on the whole moisturizing aspect of it.

I used this on my face and back. I applied it for about a good 3 months on my face, but I still continue to use it on my back . I felt it wasn't exceptionally great on my face. It was OK. I felt it had a really greasy texture and my chin was still having bad breakouts. I know products take time, but this wasn't FOR MY FACE. I was using a lot of this product on my face, not some "pea sized amount" Dan warns against. While I tried this on my face, I was also using it on my back. I get slight acne at the back of my neck and the top of my back, and I apply it once a day after I shower and let it dry completely. I still get the occasional back zit, but it's now 1 or 2 compared to 10-15. Bottom line: great for backs, bad for OILY FACES. If you have dry skin on your face, it might work for you. If you have oliy skin on your face, it could possibly break you out instead of preventing acne. Note: My rating is strongly based on the results I saw on my back. I would recommend it for acne on the back, not so much on the face IF you have oily skin.

Pros:

Works a lot better than other products

Cons:

Drying, expensive (with shipping), the whole regimen takes a good half hour out of my morning and evening, skin still very oily and not 100% clear

I've been on Dan's Regimen for almost a year now and I have to say it's the best thing i've used...and I've used everything besides accutane. It took a few months to start seeing results, you just have to wait it out. Also, my acne still isn't 100% clear, I still get breakouts here and there but they're much smaller and less frequent than before. At first, the BP was incredibly drying, even when using jojoba oil mixed in with my moisturizer. I finally found people on here using jojoba oil in between washing face and BP as kind of a exfoliation massage and, boy, it works wonders! Also, i've been experiencing more frequent breakouts on my forehead, a place where I never really got acne before the regimen. Not sure how to fix that. The only big downside is that the regimen takes a lot longer than i'd like (about 30 mins in the AM, 30 in PM), but you have to do what you have to do!

Pros:

Dries up any existing breakouts and stops new ones breaking out!
Invisible gel. Easily absorbed. No animal testing or animal products.

Cons:

A light medication smell but nothing horrendous.
As expected, as covered in the acne.org FAQs, took a few weeks for me for my skin to get used to it (was quite red at first) but it was worth sticking with it.

I stopped taking minocycline as I'd had enough of taking drugs and was looking for an alternative and found acne.org. Now I no longer have to take drugs! It works! Give it time and make sure you follow all the instructions on acne.org and read all the FAQs.

Pros:

Clears skin!!
Easy to apply
Lasts a long time

Cons:

DRYING!
Expensive shipping (to Denmark) :s

In around a month, it cleaned my skin. I still have red marks, but it's really nice to have a SMOOTH face! :D. The dryness was difficult to handle (esp when you're wearing makeup), but the skin will adjust slowly to it. I've noticed how my skin is getting less and less dry, but it takes some time. But it's definitely worth it!

Pros:

Llght
quick drying
odourless
easy to buy online

Cons:

First couple of weeks redness and dryskin, but thats expected until skin adapts.

The discipline of reminding yourself and applying the treatment.

In some cases you have to be patient with it, it will get worse before it gets better just have to persevere

Right, I have used this product for well over a year now and i remember before starting the treatment i read loads of reviews to get a better idea of the product. Some were very helpful so I guess its only right i do a review also. Just by following the regimen i have managed to clear up 95% of my acne which became severe one stressful year (Stay happy peeps thats the best cheapest cure really) My routine after several months of following the regimen. And allowing the skin to clear is to only apply it at night before bed. My skin still stays clear minus the odd small head which goes away after applying the cream. That way my skin won't get accustomed to the treatment and so far its been working. If i notice more spots i will revert back to the full regimen. Just wish old scars and old redness would heal up quicker...might have to try the aha as i have been reading good things about it here.

Pros:

-Affordable
-Huge tube and bottle
-Last very long
-Easy to apply
-Dries quickly

I started this product a few weeks ago. Within the first week I could tell it was working. I was still breaking out, but not as often. Also, my skin was looking healthier. I have used many products before. I used Proactiv but got off of it because it was too costly. I tried many other products like Carely's, everything at Walgreens, and the cons like AcneTix and ProNexin. I didn't have a lot of knowledge of BP but it did work with Proactiv and is working again with Dan's Regimen. It's been about 3 weeks on the BP. I haven't broken out in the last few days.

Pros:

Cleared up skin significantly
Seems to be lightening up my scars

Cons:

Takes a couple weeks to work. Dried up my pimples, which was awesome, but they looked crusty and moisturizer didn't really work for that.

I'm 18 years old and I've been suffering with acne for like, 6 years. It's horrible. I hated looking in the mirror cause I was so ashamed at how I looked, but this product has helped my confidence level so much. In the beginning, it made my skin look crusty and nothing took that away, but about 2-3 weeks later, all those pimples (and there were a lot) went away. My skin looks way better than before and I'm feeling more confident. I also have a lot of scars from previous acne and it seems to be lightening those up too which I'm SUPER excited about. And my skin is very stubborn. It doesn't work with anything. I've tried almost every product out there. This is the first one that's really working for me. I would definitely recommend this product.
