Pros:

- clears up acne fast
- drys up pimples and reduces them in size
- goes on smooth

- did not dry out my skin
- really cheap for a lot of it

Cons:

I bought the 5% BP. The Benzagel brand. I was my face with Johnson's Natural Head-To-Toe baby wash. Then i let my face dry for 5 mins. When its completely dry, i evenly apply the Benzagel all over my face (excluding under and around the eyes, mouth, and nose). I let that dry. Then i apply spectro moisturizer. It works perfectly! I do the same in the morning except i subtitute the moisturizer with Vichy's Dermablend foundation (it has enough moisturizer in the formula). Ive think ive found my perfect routine :) I saw improvment after the first use. In a week my face was completely clear! I think it works differently for everyone, but it was amazing.

Pros:

Got rid of the bumps on my forehead
Cleared up my acne: cystic and small

Cons:

Caused flakiness and dryness, but not NEARLY as much as the prescription stuff and this subsided after approximately 4 weeks on the products

This is SO worth the money. I am 37 and for the first time since before puberty I am ACNE FREE!!!! I have tried EVERYTHING out there (antibiotics, murad, proactiv, mario badescu, antibiotics, antibiotic creams, benzoyl peroxide) and NONE of it worked until I started on the 3 step acne.org regimen. I could not be more thrilled with the results!

Pros:

-Excellent price
-Very smooth application
-Gel is clear and leaves no residue
-Extremely effective
-Large size of product

Cons:

NONE

This is the best BP I have ever used, period. It doesn't over dry, it doesn't show once applied, it doesn't burn or irritate, and did not make my skin red. The size should be the seller alone, as it is a fraction of the cost of other brand product. Very impressed, easily Dan's best product.

Pros:

Feels great on the skin
Not too harsh
Applied very smoothly

Cons:

None

I've just started the regime, however I can already distinguish the quality of Dans' BP. I use another facial wash and moisturizer because they work for me. But the BP is fantastic and of all the products I've tried, feels the best.

Pros:

This stuff is AMAZING! Not only did it clear my skin, but it clears it fast. In less than two months, my skin has become completely clear, but I started seeing results in just 2 weeks. Its very affordable, and 1 bottle will last for a very long time.

Cons:

for the first 2-3 weeks, there was redness, irritation and peeling. You have to wait a while before it dries completely. if you used this product, I strongly suggest AHA+ and a good moisturizer.

This is the best product I've ever used for my acne. It works great, and it lasts a looong time. Just follow the regimen, and your skin will become acne-free. My skin hadn't been acne-free since grade 4, and I really have to thank Dan for making this product. you wont regret buying this product.

Pros:

Cheapest 2.5 BP per ounce to be found anywhere. So much better than the white OTC creams.

Cons:

Very slight temporary antiseptic smell...not even enough to not use the product.

I ordered the whole regimine after trying OTC stuff for several weeks in order to get the best price per ounce. This is such a step up from the white cream in the tiny tubes. So far everything is working really well. You will want to invest in white towels and pillow cases and be dressed before you apply BP. That's ANY BP...not just this product.

Pros:

It works - clears skin better than other acne products, e.g., Proactiv, Neutrogena, and keeps skin clear. Less expensive than these products.

Cons:

Dries skin. Discolors the collars on some of my clothing. (My bathrobe is really suffering.)

Highly recommend. Using large quantities of the BP is key to its effectiveness. The packaging and pricing lend themselves to this. My skin cleared up very quickly. After a couple of months of use, even the small bumps under my skin went away. I don't even have the occassional breakout.

Pros:

Great consistency, quality, cost effectiveness, and results. Dan's BP is the best BP on the market, in my opinion.

Cons:

The only drawback I can even come up with is being limited to buying the product online, and having to pay shipping. Shipping to my location (FL) is nearly half the cost of the item itself. As for the product itself, I don't think there are any cons.

I've had moderate acne for years, 13 to be exact. Unlike most, however, I haven't used anything for it other than SA or BP. I'd resorted to spot treating with 10% BP and hoping for the best. Obviously, that really never worked. I came across this site about 3 years ago and ordered the BP, followed the regimen, and my skin was perfectly clear within 3 weeks, for the first time in my life. I've used Dan's BP every day since then, and found that by applying it morning and night, I don't have to use the super thick layer like I did at first, but my skin still responds to it just as well. I still do have breakouts around my cycle, but they are nowhere near as severe as they were without this BP, and I enjoy clear skin the rest of the time. I do wear makeup, but I have found that by applying it under my makeup, it helps keeps my skin clear. For any of you ladies wearing makeup, give it a try. I also use Dan's moisturizer and jojoba oil, mixed, for moisturization, and the cleanser. Perfect!

Pros:

Light, spreads easily, not super drying, actually works against my horribly picky acne :)

Cons:

None, in terms of effects. Some may find its medication scent a little uncomfortable, but it's really nothing!

It works. That summarizes how great this product is :) I've had irregular acne for 9 years now and I've tried everything - from cheap to expensive, chemical to organic! Nothing works like this. Follow the regimen. SERIOUSLY
