Pros:

Smoothen Skin, tighten pores, less oil secretion

Cons:

Dries skin, darkens laugh lines

I feel that this item is pretty effective in drying up spots although I am still having break outs at my upper lip area (because I want to avoid applying the treatment at this area). I am extremely sensitive skin so for people who have extremely sensitive skin please DO NOT apply the treatment at areas near your laugh lines or upper lip area (just below the nose). This is because it will tighten/ dry your skin so much causing the skin around that area to darken and you may end up looking like a old woman. I have such an experience when using products prescribed by my skin doctor. So if you have sensitive skin, only apply the treatment at the apples of the cheek, Jawline, Forehead and your nose bridge. Apply a very thick layer of the moisturizer (from the regime set) to your upper lip and laugh line area to prevent any over drying caused by the cleanser. You won't want to look like an old woman after you get rid of your acnes right? Do a moisturizing mask twice a week using Oat+Honey+Rice Flour to prevent over drying of skin. Hope this helps :)))

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:

none

Cons:

flaky skin
dries top layer of skin making acne worse
seems good at first but gets worse in time
creates large cysts
company does not honor warranty

This product will fool you. At first it seems like it's working, but what Benzyl Peroxide does is dry your top layer of skin causing the clogged pores underneath to erupt in time. You will have more severe acne after using this product than you started with. Also don't expect a refund from this company. I returned my unused product and never received my promised refund even after multiple emails. Not only did I lose the money I spent on the product, I lost the money I spent to return it. Buyer Beware!

Pros:

- Helped clear my neck/back

- Worked temporarily

Cons:

- Became extremely worse

- Would make my skin peel and become flaky during the middle of the day

I dont know what the f**k happened. I fought acne for several years but it was never bad because I always had it under control. It started annoying me, so being the perfectionist that I am I wanted to get rid of it once and for all. I started taking this product and it was a smooth ride at first, I was getting better day by day and then out of nowhere it went far south. I don't know if I got an allergic reaction or maybe it was going to get this bad either way (which I highly doubt) but it got severe. Like an idiot I kept on using it for another week or two because I convinced myself it was getting all the acne out and would then improve. Wrong. My acne was getting so red and painful that I actually couldn't even sleep or smile because I would feel the pain. I refused to look at myself in the mirror because I was disgusted with myself. Multiple zits would form on each other, I'm getting grossed out just talking about it. It's 6 months later and I'm still trying to recover, it's a lot better but my face has bad post-acne marks and I will probably have permanent scars from this horrible experience I've had. People have had success with this and I'm happy for them but I regret using this product everyday of my life. I wish I just battled teenage acne by just washing my face like I used to, because now I don't know what the f**k to do anymore. I can't believe I'm going to have acne scars on my face because of this.

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

Pros:

- It definitely works if you use it as instructed
- Huge tube
- Nice consistency (disappears easily)
- No smell

Cons:

- Very drying (even for oily skin)
- Not very portable tube
- Bleaches clothes (if you're not careful)
- Aging

I'm of south asian origin, and have had very oily skin, bad scarring and acne on and off for years. A few months ago, I had the worst break out of my life, with big red lumps appearing on my cheeks and jawline daily. I tried countless expensive products to get rid of them, but I just kept getting more and more lumps every day. After reading the reviews on this site, I decided to order Dan's BP, but was not impressed at first. I was expecting overnight results and instead all I got was extremely flaky skin which I have never sufferered from before. I did the regimen as instructed for a few weeks and there were a lot of changes - some good, some bad. My skin felt really tight and dry and it was difficult to cover up the flakes with make up. I was still getting new spots, but they seemed to go down a lot quicker. I now think my skin was just clearing out all the gunk that was stored in the pores. After using BP at first, my pores would feel bumpy, and if I scraped them lightly with my fingernails, blackheads would come out easily as if they were on the verge of 'falling' out (disgusting I know - but also very satisfying!) I stuck with it and although I still get spots occasionally on my forehead and jawline, it is nowhere near as bad as it was before. My pores look and feel really clean and my skin overall feels soft to the touch. I currently have only one big spot and a few small pimples on my forehead (and scarring unfortunately), compared to a face covered in big red lumps a few months ago. I'm not using BP every day anymore as I'm worried about the aging effects, so use DHC Salicylic face milk on alternate days or when I'm away from home. I'm very happy with Dan's BP though so will continue to use it even when my spots clear up completely as I know they could return again at any time.

Pros:

a lot of product, last a long way.
great expectation

Cons:

sting your eyes
inflammation on the spot area
allergic reaction after about one month of use. Itchiness and horrible texture of my skin. Make you more sensitive to sun exposure, causing -in my case- more hyper pigmentation.

it was working really good for about a month, after that i started to developed what i think is an allergic reaction to acne.org BP. Every night i applied the product in my problem areas, and by next morning the covered area presented a horrible allergic reaction: a) the skin was red b) supper itchy, c) raised from the rest of the skin d) didnt improve the existing pimples e) awful texture of the skin in the BP covered area.(like i had salt grains under my skin). f) take about one week to get rid of the reaction. Then, after about a month of use, i switched to neutrogena 2.5 PB and that product is working just fine. Conclusion, im not allergic to BP, but im allergic only to acne.org BP brand. i really wanted to find a miracle product to improve my acne, but i havent yet. anybody with the same story?

Pros:

It works well and even cleared up my razor bumps from shaving.

Cons:

There should be a warning about getting this cream anywhere near your lips or the soft skin near the eyes because gave me rashes in those areas.

Do not apply this product near your lips or around the eyes as you are applying all over your face. Even though it's only 2.5% BP, it is very powerful and it can severely dry your skin if you don't use enough moisturizer.
