Pros:

Gets rid of acne and prevents (even if persistent!). Don't have to wash off. It really works!

Cons:

If allergic to benozyl peroxide, you can't use it (my mom had this problem). Hardens into stretchy glue-like stuff on the tip of dispenser so you need to remove the residue before dispensing (doesn't happen on skin).

This thing saved my skin. For best results follow, Dan's instructions. I had these consistent breakouts in between my eyebrows (I looked like I had a unibrow) and on my forehead that would never go away no matter what I did. I was so annoyed that I decided to stick religiously to Dan's regimen with this thing (I used cetaphil cleanser and Neutrogena's combination skin moisturizer instead and it worked fine. Maybe when that runs out, I'll get his stuff). It went away and never came back even when I relaxed the regimen a little. Admittedly when I got lazy, I'd get a breakout or two if I hadn't applied the treatment in awhile, but that was to be expected. But my skin held out for a surprising amount of time before breakouts started coming back. So bottom line. Stick to his regimen if you never want to see a breakout ever.

Pros:

It works, it's affordable

Cons:

same as any benzoyl peroxide

I recently had a very severe breakout. I usually only have mild acne if I'm using benzoyl peroxide, but sometimes I would switch products with poor results. The last time I did this, my acne flared up badly, & nothing I tried in the past was able to control it. I tried going back to Proactiv, Differin, & all natural stuff, but nothing would work this time. My face hurt so badly that even smiling was painful. I didn't want to go anywhere, just because it was so physically painful to wash my face or put on makeup. Then I found this message board, & after reading the info on here for days, I finally decided to try the regimen. It took some time, & some getting used to, but I am completely clear now. Sometimes I will get a pimple or too, but it's because I haven't used it in a few days. This stuff is so much better than Proactiv. Just give it a try & a chance to work. I use everything they sell, and it's all amazing stuff. This is the clearest my skin has been in 15 years. Try it!

Pros:

Works very well for getting rid of acne and staying clear if used properly. I have never been more clear since I was 12.

Cons:

It burns quite a bit for the first couple minutes, makes my skin really red for almost a half hour. But worst is that it leaves dry skin that even the lotion cannot seem to take care of.

This is real hay maker of the regimen it's what gets the job done and it does it well. I found that for the first month of using it I wasn't leaving enough time in between steps for drying and therefore the regimen wasn't working to full potential. As soon as I was leaving ample time in between steps it started working like a charm. I believe the last time i had a pimple was 2 months ago! There are a few downsides to it but none seem to be much of an issue if I have an hour before I leave the house. Because I am an athlete one attribute I really loved was that it does not come out of your skin white when you sweat, this is especially important if you have to practice before school or work and wont have time to go through all the steps again. Bottom line it's wayyy cheaper than proactiv wayyy less harsh and wayyy more effective. Recommend to anyone and everyone.

Pros:

generous amount of product for price paid, gel based...goes on clear, helps prevent new acne from forming.

Cons:

does dry skin a bit, leaves you with some flakes but nothing a little moisturizer can't fix, only available on-line.

by far, this is one of the best acne treatments i have used! a few months ago, i started breaking out like crazy, to the point where i didn't want to leave the house. saw a dermatologist who prescribed me clindamycin gel, and differin .01%. long story short...happy to say that as of today, i am 99% clear with help from neither medications. came across this site one day and ordered dan's BP. started using it in the morning along with differin .03% at night for a little over a month and the results have been fabulous!!!

Pros:

Cheap, like the soft feel on skin (made me want to put more than I'm suppose to), gives me enough time to massage it onto my skin without drying out, and yet dries within 1 minute after I'm done putting it on. Great product!

Cons:

Sting eyes when put too much on, drying (subsided within few weeks, I used jojoba oil to couple with drying until my skin got used to it).

After 10 years of suffering acne and trying all the OTC and prescription medicines out there, I'm finally acne-free thanks to this product!!! Thanks Dan!

Pros:

Fragrance-free, very light, leaves no white marks or residue (both before or after drying), as effective as 10%, non shiny or greasy.

Cons:

None, hands down the best benzoyl peroxide product I've tried. Period.

When I first found this site, I found it interesting but grew cynical when I saw products were for sale. "Oh, so that's the catch," I thought, "this is just an excuse for some guy to peddle his products." I was completely wrong - this is the best BP treatment I have ever used, and trust me, I have used every brand out there in 3 different countries. I can't believe no one has made such a great product that goes on clear, is fragrance free, is light to the touch and unobtrusive, and yet totally effective. Amazing stuff and totally worthwhile. It cleared me up big time.

Pros:

Definitely works to clear up acne!

Cons:

Takes FOREVER to rub in. Also, it "pills" up into little balls once I put on the moisturizer.

I love this product! It may have its cons, but they aren't worth going back to acne. Before The Regimen, I was developing 3-4 new pustules or cystic acne every day, even though I was using ProActiv (2 1/2 years)and then Acne Free (a few months). In the last month that I've been using The Regimen, I've only developed a few new ones, and that was mainly because I neglected to wash my face one night. The ones that did come up were gone within 2 days. It seems a little pricey, but I was spending AT LEAST $40 every month on ProActiv, and this product lasts 2 months for less than that, so it really is a bargain. I am EXTREMELY pleased with this product, and will continue to use it.

Pros:

Actually does the job. The most effective acne medication you will find.

If your really interested in ridding your acne keep reading.

Cons:

Benzoyl Peroxide bleaches fabrics. (But what do you care more about your clear complexion or your pillow-case?)

Your skin may turn reddish, become dry, and/or itchy. Use a GOOD moisturizer and use it properly.

You just looked in the mirror and saw that your acne is breaking out again and you can't figure why or out how to stop it. YOU'VE TRIED EVERYTHING... washing your face, not washing, drying, sunbathing, creams, masks, diets, pills, you even stopped thinking dirty thoughts at church thinking your acne was a punishment from God. Frustrated you ran to your computer and searched the internet for an answer. You were tech savvy enough to type "ACNE" into google and find this site. Now your here reading this review wondering if you should spend a few dollars on this product. I was you, and let me say that after 10 years of EVERY sort of acne medication this is the most effective with the least amount of side effects. The most important thing is to read the regimen on this site and FOLLOW IT TO THE VERY LAST DETAIL. Write it down and follow it EVERYDAY. Do this and your acne will clear up.
