Pros:

Inexpensive
Great Value
Easily absorbs into skin
WORKS wonders!

Cons:

None

I would highly, highly recommend this product to anyone that needs BP. Another brand that sells 2.5% BP as a moisturizer only gives you a 1.7oz tube and it sells for $20! I have been using that until mine came in the mail and have been doing the regimen with the products I have and my skin has already done a complete turn around, so I was extremely happy to get Dan's better value products in the mail, as mine were high end and would be extremely expensive to continuing using those. I can't say enough great things about Dan's products! The regimen has changed my life, literally.

Pros:

Worked at first

Cons:

Super drying
Redness
Felt like my face was burning off

So after giving The Regimen a fair 3 month trial I can honestly say it did not work for me. At first it seemed like it did, then of course there was the bad breakout.. Ever since then I've been waiting for it to get better.. It hasn't. It went from my cheeks and chin, to my forehead and neck. I've gotten more cystic acne while on the regimen then ever before. It's super painful and I was so bummed to find out this is just another product on my list of stuff that just didn't work..

Pros:

Easy to apply
Odorless, colorless, no one knows it's there
WORKS! It gets my skin about 70% clean

Cons:

Stains towels/sheets/etc.

I"ll use this until the day I die. It gets my skin about 70% of the way clear and it is a prominent part of my skin care regimen. I use it in the morning after Azelaic acid and use Retin-A at night. It's made all the difference in the world!

Pros:

doesn't dry out skin
Is easy to apply unlike 10% BP treatments which don't spread on skin as easily
Great value - the 8 oz. tube lasts me about 4 months!
Short adjustment time for new users - only took about a week for my skin to be used to it.

Cons:

not many! after years of struggling with acne, I finally found the perfect solution!
1 con - you can't miss an application, or there will be flare ups. You really have to apply morning and night, carefully.

This is the easiest, most cost effective treatment system I've ever come across. stop going to dermatologists, they are essentially giving you this product at a jacked up price. I've been struggling with acne for years and finally at around 22, I discovered this product. My regimen: I use Neutrogena Salicylic adic face wash every day, morning and night, followed by this acne.org treatment, and usually some moisturizer over top. That's it! And my skin is clear and beautiful. You can't miss a day, though, the treatment really acts as a shield for me at least. If I don't apply morning and night, I'll have problems the next day. Oh well, I'm willing to stick to it because I'm so fed up with my problem skin! Can't recomend enough, I've been using for 2 years and will continue for years to come!

Pros:

Works.
Does not dry my skin.
No flakyness.
Makes my skin smooth.
Improves acne.

Cons:

Very time consuming.

At first I was skeptical to try this product but when I read everyone's success rate, I just had to try it for myself. I have light acne but once a month I would break out to moderate acne. When I received my order I was afraid that it would make my skin very dry and flaky. I'm almost done with my first week and I am very happy to say that it did not leave me dry or flaky at all! I was very impressed and at the same time shocked because mostly everyone who reviewed this product had symptoms of drying and flaking. I followed Dan's regime 100%. I made sure to let my face dry before applying the treatment and I made sure to apply moisturizer after the bp had dried. I haven't tried Dan's cleanser or moisturizer. I have been using Purpose Bar soap and Purpose moisturizer and it has been amazing for me! Everyone should try this product! It is worth every penny.

Pros:

Clears acne
gentle
absorbs easily

Cons:

bleaches towels and clothing - true of all bp

I've been using this for 6 months. After 33 years of trying everything else with minimal result or good result with bad side effects, I can say this is the best. I think it's not just the product, but also how you're instructed to use it that makes it the best.

Pros:

It clears out the acne completely when it is used according to instructions. It is fabulous, it nourishes the skin, and leaves you with an incredible confidence. You can eat whatever you want as long as you use this product religiously and drink tons of water.

Cons:

Your face is pretty dry and flaky. So, start with small amounts, and proceed slowly. It bleaches everything when it is wet, so be very careful. Wash your fingers carefully and wait until it is dry to touch your face on anything. These are all written in Dan's instructions, just follow them carefully.

The best acne product ever. It works for all skin types, and after 3 months of use, everyone will agree with me.

Pros:

- Controls acne by 98%
- Smooth texture of skin if used with AHA every night (skin glows sometimes)
- Reduces oiliness
- Eliminate blackheads specially on nose

Cons:

- Getting scars with every single pimple (you do get 1 or 2 pimples every month) after some time of use. My skin was terribly uneven after a year
- Always a dark reddish tone to skin
- Could not wear foundation or makeup
- The dark marks just would not go away, even after a year
- Applying so much gel twice a day is tedious
- Sometime even with AHA my skins got so dry, I could not laugh properly
- I started to get cysts I never had before. Now that I stopped BP, wont get any.

The main downside of this gel to me, was scars after every single pimple. I DID NOT used to get any scars before. Now that I've stopped using it for about a year,I wont get those shallow scars anymore and it took a year for them to go away. Another problem was the hyper-pigmentation, for some reason they were more resistant than usual while on Dan's BP. To prove this to myself I applied the gel a couple of times to my chest acne. Yep, the H-pigmentation left behind was darker and more resistant than usual. Unfortunately I had to stop using this gel after getting a good control over my acne. I wish I could continue using it. I just thought I share my experience with every one, specially with those who think they are at the early stages of experiencing scars and are worried about the marks on their face, so the good news is you wont need any laser treatment or anything, they both will fade over time after you stop using BP gel...but if you're not worried about scars ...then carry on, because it the best stuff to control acne

Pros:

Clears up active acne very fast

Cons:

The side effects. Very drying, redness, very flaky skin.

In a sentence, this product gets the job done with prominent side affects. It diminishes acne fast. However it also really dries the skin so you've gotta start slow. Even starting slow you can expect dryness, redness, sun-sensitivity, and crazy flakiness as it works. These side effects become less pronounced as your skin gets used to it over the course of several weeks to a few months; moisturizing helps combat the side effects as well.
