Pros:

Cons:

dries out skin just a bit but it is so worth it

ive been using this for about a month and i am so happy. i was skeptical about buying it at fisrt cus i had tried EVERYTHING to help my acne but i figured why not. just after 4 weeks i havent had any bad breakouts and im happy to say that i dont have any zits on my face. and trust me, i had a ton about a month ago. i remember i would wake up every morning and have at least 5 new zits a day but now my only problem is flakiness. pls pls pls try this its helped me so much and i know how it feels to suffer with acne it really sucks. follow the regimen and all will be well

Pros:

First one that WORKED!
Cleared up my acne!
In a HUGE bottle (I still haven't finished my first one yet and it's been 3 months)
Gel-based, not some oily lotion
Controls the oil -- I'm not super oily anymore!
Non-scented, so great for sensitive skin
Easy to apply

Cons:

Doesn't always prevent new ones from forming
Can be drying
Pricey with tax and shipping -- NEEDS COUPONS!

After reading many reviews about many acne products, I finally decided to try this one. I was reluctant to buy it at first, thinking that this would be like everyone other acne product I used -- like Proactiv, which didn't work -- but I decided to "take the risk." After using it for a month, I originally thought that I didn't get so many pimples because it was winter break and I had a good night's rest every night. But now that school has started, my skin is still clear! I do get occasional pimples here and there when I have hormone changes, but I haven't gotten really bad ones like I used to and the ones I get usually clear up in a day or two while using BP. The KEY is not only applying BP, but also taking care of your body. Drinking water, eating healthy, exercising are also ways to promote healthy skin. Take care of your body from the inside out. ALWAYS wear a moisture after the BP because the gel does dry. I use Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel at night, and Aveeno's Positively Radiant Moisturizer with SPF 15 during the day. If you've never tried BP before, start on a small spot for a week and see how your skin adjusts. Because even if your skin reacts unwantedly, it'll only be once spot instead of your whole face. Everyone's skin reacts differently to products, so get to know your skin. I hope this helps.

Pros:

Works, Best saving BP out in the market

Cons:

Dries skin at beginning

It's a big bottom for a great price. I recently started using the full two pumps of BP and started clearing up fast.

Pros:

Goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly, fast results

Cons:

Can bleach clothing and takes some adjustment for skin

This is one of the few routines I've been able to stick with and it has worked really well. My back is still clearing up, but overall I have seen great improvements. I also have not had any breakouts since I started using this. Great product, good price.

Pros:

Gel form
Excellent price per ounce
Odorless

Cons:

Can be drying (We all know that. Moisturizer is our friend!)

I was paying $12/ounce of Proactiv's gel benzoyl peroxide every month and a half or so, so I decided to give this solution a try. It works just as well as Proactiv's third step, but I'm now paying something like $2/ounce. Thanks, Dan!

Pros:

no colour, not pastey, great value for money, dries easily,

Cons:

none

i've used oxy 5%bp before and it did work for a while but never really stopped my acne completely, but then i wasnt on a strict regimen back then, still now i am not on a complete regimen but i do wash my face with cetaphill and apply Dan's BP and then moisturize, my acne has cleared 99% and now i only break out like once a month, i just broke out yesterday, i got 3 small spots but i am very happy with this BP, by far the best i've used to date. when i first got it i applied it day & night, but after my acne started clearing i only use it at night, seems to be working. Thanks Dan for the BP and everyone with an acne prone skin should give this a try atleast once.

Pros:

Results within hours
Huge size

Cons:

None!

The only thing I can say about this product that would be negative was that it dried my skin out the first couple days of using it. But that was because I was so stoked to have it, I slathered it on in generous amounts. User error. It's cleared up my skin noticeably over the past few days. And I haven't noticed any fabric bleaching on my clothes or sheets which is the result with most BP's. It's a way better deal than Proactiv and I feel better buying from Acne.org anyway. My skin profile: 25 year old female. Hormonal cystic jawline and chin acne. Embarrassing!

Pros:

works really well to get rid of acne

Cons:

dries suuuuuuuuuuper slowww

this review is from the pump bottle version 8oz that i purchased. It lasted me about 8months wow. i just finished the bottle and i ordered another 8oz in the squeeze bottle. this product works great. i had a major breakout episode last winter after christmas on my cheeks it was pimples that would leave marks after and took forever to heal and this cleared it up with daily use. i apply this to my face after cleansing with clean and clear advantage cleanser with benzoyl peroxide. then i leave it on overnight while i sleep. i make sure to moisturize the areas that i didnt apply the gel in. this product is amazing it works so well i dont know what i would do without it. it will forever be my best friend.
