Pros:

Works well
Not super expensive
Little goes a long way
Cleared me up!

Cons:

Bleaches colored fabric

I have worked with every kind of acne treatment, except accutane, to clear up my acne. This was the final touch that I really needed. I have been on benzoyl peroxide in the past but it dried out my skin too much, but this stuff does not dry me out and in combonation with tazorac my skin is really clear. It also appears to have cleaned out my t-zone pores and made them look smaller!

Pros:

CHEAP! Works really well, easy to apply and doesn't dry my skin out too badly

Cons:

None I know of!

This is pretty much the only BP product you should choose, for the price alone. Similar product from Oxy, Clearasil etc have similar effects for me, but are horrendously expensive. The guys at acne.org are also super friendly, really knowledgeable and all around great guys! Thanks acne.org!

Pros:

Goes on easy and clear
No white residue
Does not sting too much
Gentle
Big bottle for the price
It works!

Cons:

Takes a while to dry if used in recommended amounts

I have been using it for about a week now and it works well so far. It is definitely most gentle BP treatment I have ever used. I have been on Dan's regimen for 3 weeks and while first week was rough (I was about to quit), it looks like my skin has adjusted. I have not had any new acne in a week (knocking on wood.)

Pros:

- Very light
- Doesn't smell bad like other BP brands
- Goes on smoothly
- It prevents break outs

Cons:

- Doesn't remove pimples quickly (dries them out only)
- Leaves red marks
- Takes a long time to work effectively

This is a great product, the key is PATIENCE, PATIENCE, and yes more PATIENCE. Give it time and it will work for most people. Follow Dan's instructions by spreading gently and 2 full pumps after using the regimen for awhile and you will be clear eventually. One big downfall is it leaves existing acne and turns them into red marks.

Pros:

After one week it has started to work and reduced my acne up to 80%. In three weeks i started to forget what is acne at all!

Cons:

None, so far. Maybe delivery is a bit expensive...

I would recommend this product to others 100%, because it does work. Thank you!

Pros:

Effective, cheap, clear, easy to apply.
Most importantly: IT WORKS!

Cons:

My skin flaked a little during the first week, but then it adjusted and the flaking stopped. For a benzoyl peroxide based product, this is actually quite gentle.

I wasn't a believer - but Acne.org has got me converted. I'm 30 years old. I used to have moderate-severe acne when I was in my teens, and when all else failed I went on Accutane and that cleared up most of my acne problems. However, in all the years since then my skin has continued to be problematic - sensitive, prone to breakouts, not what I would consider "100% acne free". Hardly a week would go by that I wouldn't have at least a pimple somewhere on my face. It wasn't severe, but it was annoying and would frequently affect my self-confidence. A few months ago I was going through a series of breakouts and I got really fed up with my skin so I decided to give Acne.org and its treatment a try. I was very apprehensive (I'm pretty sure I had tried BP-based products before) but, despite my doubts, my skin cleared up after just a week of using the treatment. I continued using the treatment and, lo and behold, my skin STAYED clear! In the 3 months that I've been using Acne.org treatment I think I've had maybe 2-3 pimples, and in all cases they disappeared very quickly! My own process is slightly different than the one recommended by Acne.org. In the morning I wash my face with an Alba Pineapple Facial Scrub. After my face dries I apply the benzoyl peroxide treatment, and 15 mins later I apply Alba Aloe & Green Tea moisturizer. Before bedtime I wash my face with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. After my face dries I apply the BP treatment again, though some nights I skip it if I feel my skin is too sensitive. Finally, after 15 minutes I apply the Acne.org AHA+ (glycolic acid) solution. That does a nice job smoothing out my skin and prepping my skin cells for the scrub next morning.

Pros:

Great product, cheap (compared to others).... thanks Dan!

Cons:

None.

I've been following the acne.org regimen for two weeks, previously using the Neutrogena On-The-Spot cream. A few days ago I purchased Dan's product to test it out; a great decision, I must say. Neutrogena gets hard to rub around on your after some time, and gives your face a tinge of white whereas Dan's product rubs on clear and is easy to move around on your face. There is no undesirable fragrance, unlike Neutrogena, which I very much enjoy. Plus, I'm not exactly sure why, but I find I don't even need to moisturize after I apply this product. By the way, I'm having great success with the regimen, and I have tried many many different antibiotics, creams, gels, foams, etc etc. I also have moderate-to-severe acne. I highly recommend it!

Pros:

Lotion-like consistency, unscented, dries clear, economical, and effective!

Cons:

Dries skin, will bleach fabrics, itching and/or burning sensation on initial use, some patience is required

This product delivers on its promises! I was a Proactiv user for a while, and had good results, but ultimately stopped because it was too expensive. I stumbled on this product looking for something during a *horrible* breakout. It's very much like the Proactive lotion, except cheaper and more effective. When I first used it, it did start burning and made my skin feel itchy. But over the next few applications that feeling went away. And, a good moisturizer is needed as it will dry your skin. (My skin is oily so it's not too bad.) Using an alpha hydroxy cream has also helped. I've also been careful with fabrics as BP tends to bleach them. I saw few results immediately; it took about two weeks for my face to slowly clear up. I've developed my own regimen based on Daniel's and now my skin is the best it's looked in years! I think overall this is a great product.
