Pros:

It works! And quickly. Skin looks great! And its cheap and easy to do, and gets kind of addictive once you see the great results!

Cons:

If you put too much benzoyl peroxide on it burns quite badly. I would warn particularly about your neckline if you have sensitive skin like me! But just go overboard on the moisturiser and it stops pretty quickly. It just feels like sunburn.

I haven't used the actual products, but have used similar versions. So over here we have a product called Panoxyl which is basically a cream based benzoyl Peroxide. I have been combining this with simple face washes and nivea moisturiser. Just stuff I have in the cupboard basically. I have had acne for about 15 years now (considering I am only 23 this is pretty bad right!). It has never got worse than moderate, and is mild at worse right now, but its always been very persistantand I've never got rid of it. In the last 6 years or so I have had pretty bad acne on my neck chest and back, and have mainly tried pills to get rid of these, to no avail. A month back I just got sick of the constant having to try to cover it up and I kind of want to have nice shoulders and back that I can show off! So I thought sod it, what can i lose from following this regime and seeing if the benzoyl works bearing in mind I've used it before unsuccessfully). I have been astounded and delighted :)

Pros:

- cleared up most of my acne within the first few weeks of use
- doesn't have a bad smell

Cons:

- it's pretty drying, even with the moisturizer

About a year ago I started using a prescription b.p. (5%), but this one is less expensive and works better for me. I think it's definitely worth any dryness I experience.

Pros:

Works and doesn't irritate skin. has a nice glide texture and allows you to properly spread it everywhere without it drying too quickly.

Cons:

If it doesn't totally try then the products you put over it might ball up a bit. Also it takes some time to work it in and I'm only using one pump. I'm almost scared to use two pumps.

I love this product. The only major con is that it does have a nice glide, but it almost doesn't want to absorb too readily into your skin so you need to spend some time working it in and then waighing for it to dry. Aside from that it is a wonderful product and I highly recommend it. It has cleared up my face and now everyone is telling me how great my skin looks and that feeling is wonderful. I'm so happy I found this product. Thank you Dan!

Pros:

cleared up my skin 90% in 4 days. it is INCREDIBLE. worth every penny plus more.

Cons:

i wish i would had found this sooner. it dries up your face and neck like crazy, however, when you have clear skin WHO CARES?! just moisturize like crazy. love love love you dan.

I was so skeptical at this point in my life, I have exhausted every single product on the market along with prescription (except accutane which is next on the list), and I am honestly in AWE about this product, this regime... Dan, you saved me, and gave me my confidence back THIS REGIME IS THE BEST.

Pros:

THEE BEST Benzoyl Peroxide treatment (lotion) out there. Tops. Trust me. Leaves skin soft - and does NOT dry your skin out.

Cons:

May itch just a bit when it tries on your skin - but it's because of the gel-consistancy. Once skin completely dries (and let it do it on it's own) skin is completely soft.

Here I am again :) Okay - if you are hesitating at all with the Daniel Kern products - buy this. If you are even on a DIFFERENT acne treatment (like Clean and Clear) please - USE THIS as your Benzoyl Peroxide lotion. Benzoyl peroxide is the only thing that has worked for me to clear acne. Salicylic acid does not work for me - it makes me break out horribly. Almost the complete opposite of Benzoyl. If you ever go shopping for an acne treatment lotion - you'll see that Benzoyl Peroxide is VERY hard to find in large quantities. This product is GREAT and a RARE find for the price. I was on Proactive for 5 years - and their lotion has the same Benzoyl but for WAY more expensive - and you get 4 times LESS. Please - save your money!! It even works BETTER. This Benzoyl does NOT dry your skin out - the gel formula in this product works differently than Proactiv - I am completely amazed. Please try this - you will save a TON of money - just try it!

Pros:

It really WORKS!
I've tried everything and spent hundreds of money on various acne products and this is the BEST product ever. The price is awesome and the result is awesome.

Cons:

It does dries out my skin, a good moisturizer is required

Worth the money, GREAT results, I am going to stick with this.

Pros:

- Zapped away the bloody zits into oblivion!
- Speedy delivery

Cons:

- Took 3 full months before it totally worked
- Dries skin out/makes skin red at first, but that's where moisturizers come in

I've been using the product for 4 months strong now. Basically, the first week I felt my skin feel incredible albeit very tight & flaky. From week 2 or 3 onwards I began having horrendous breakouts, which scarred my confidence for life (heck I even skipped lectures or meetings if I had too large a cyst!) But after exactly 3 months of consistent (ok maybe I skipped a day or 2 coz I dozed off) my skin feels so clear I can't believe it's my skin. Althou the bloody scars linger on to remind me of my agony, still Dan's BP & website is the best thing since, well, BP! You just have to be patient & consistent with it. Believe me, with time it WILL work, if I quit b4 I'd still be miserable & paying tons on various products. Thanks Dan!

Pros:

The gel like consitency goes in really easily, doesn't dry out my face, and leaves my skin feeling smooth.

Cons:

You do have to use a lot and it can take a little while to completely absorb.

I have been battling acne since I was about 14 and just like many people here I have tried just about EVERYTHING. I tried Proactiv and it didn't do ANYTHING for me, Murad just made my acne worse and was expensive as hell. I'd pretty much given up on finding anything to help, and than I found acne.org and came across Daniel Kern's BP acne gel and decided to try it ONLY because as funny as it sounds, DK wasn't trying to sell it. It worked almost instantly for me. I've read on here that many people have had their skin dy out and flake from using the BP gel. I guess it depends on your skin type.I have very oily skin and it has not dried my face out at all. Its made my face softer and less oily. I only recently decided to add in Neutrugena's AHA lotion as an extra exfoliant. Bottom line: Try it cause THIS STUFF WORKS!!
