Pros:

-worked FAST.
-clear gel.
-doesnt rub off.
-short drying time.

Cons:

-made face very dry for first couple weeks, stings eyes bad while it dries, pre mature aging (from what I've heard).

I love this! I finally decided after 2 and a half weeks I'd write a review. And I have to say this really worked, and fast. I always had very light acne, 1-2 zits at the most, but during the summer I started breaking out really bad (in my opinion) with almost moderate acne. Two weeks of extreme drying, I am clear, with the exception of a couple zits from the aha purging. Thank you Dan! You literally brought my self confidence back! :) keep up the good work!

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:

- Clear solution
- Effective for spot treatments

Cons:

- Not effective for spreading around your face like a face mask
- Causes a great deal of skin peeling if not moisturized

Overall, this is a great product! I found after a but of modification (sorry Dan) to the The Regiment that it works much better for my condition when used directly onto individual pimples, spots and the like. It is not effective for me if I were to follow what Dan instructs us to do, and spread it around nice and evenly. I would still recommend it to others though. My results after consistent dabbing or touching pimples using a generous amount of BP include pimples harding from the inside out and dropping revealing smooth, new skin to preventing pimples from getting worst at first sight. Thanks a lot Dan!

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:

Does get rid of acne.

Cons:

Used as directed, dries skin out to a frightening degree and caused scarring on both my cheeks.

This product will get rid of acne, but be warned, I've had acne for years and never has such a problem with hyperpigmentation and I've never had pitted scars. After a month of using the regimen religiously, I saw what was happening to my skin and had to quit. I didn't even think I was prone to pitted scars, but this product dried and thinned out my skin and caused them.

Pros:

Cleared most of pimples, acne

Cons:

May sting
Does not get rid of blackhead
Does not get rid of scars

I must say, this thing really works! During the 1st week, I put too much (too excited I guess) and it made my face really red and raw-ish. But after applying the moisturizer for a few days, it eventually faded away. It cleared most of the acne on my cheeks and forehead, around 75%. But I still have blackheads on my nose and chin, and occasional one or two pimples here and there. Highly recommended :)
