Pros:

Really helps for people with minor to moderately severe acne. Having only 2.5% BP really helps, and doesn't dry skin as badly as the now standard 10% BP.

Cons:

Maybe mix the lotion with it, maybe not, I don't know.

I've used this product for 2 years and haven't developed the slightest semblance of a tolerance to it. It continues to do the job I expect it to. Just plain, simple 2.5% BP; it lasts a long time and gets the job done. Oh, and no annoying scent.

Pros:

Works at preventing zits from showing up, even those that typically come at a certain time of month
Unscented so I like that
Easy to dispense from bottle

Cons:

Sometimes I feel a mild burning/tingling on the skin

This product works and is a great value for the amount of BP that you get in the bottle. I only use this in the evenings so this should last me a really long time. I used to purchase the BP that came in a tube so that's why I noticed that this formula tends to burn/tingle the skin. When I first used it, it actually made my eyes water (no, the product was not in or around my eyes) but I'm just more careful now to apply less around the eye area. Overall, this product is keeping my skin happier than it was before and keeping blemishes under control (unless I've been picking).

Pros:

Heals and Prevents Acne!!!!!

Cons:

I would probally have to say the shipping costs are pretty high.

READ!! I have been suffering from acne for about 7 years. Absolutely nothing I was using worked. Seriously I tried almost everything! I read the reviews of this product and i still was quite skeptical. I finaaly tried it. Man!! I didnt see a difference for the first couple of days but about 2 weeks later i literally had no pimple!!!! Before I had this product my acne was very severe. Embarrasing. What I did. My Regimen !. Wet your face with warm water 2. Apply the cleanser exactly how dan does it in the videos. 3. Let dry 4. Apply BP just enough to cover the face 5. Let dry.

Pros:

Works great! Love how it goes on. Very affordable and great customer service.

Cons:

None that I can think of

I had moderate acne and this really helped. BP works great on my asian skin. I've finally taken the time to make sure the gel sinks in and it's worth it. Now I just have to find a moisturizer that will work and kill the shine. But this BP is the best!

Pros:

goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly, non fragrance, works, cheap

Cons:

none

Firstly, BP dries peoples' skins. So people, stop complaining. That's the nature of BP. Anyway, glad that I got that off my chest. I've used several brand named BP and they were gritty and watery and they weren't cheap. Once I started using this, I tell you, I will not want to go back using other brands. Once I applied this stuff on my face, is heavenly smooth. I am telling you, for the quality this stuff should cost a lot more. I am very happy I ended up trying Dan's BP.

Pros:

Works great!! Goes on clear, no fragrance. You get a lot for the price.

Cons:

Nothing really.

I've been using Dan's BP treatment since when he first started with the blue tubes. I had severe acne during high school and calmed down a bit after taking Accutane. Dan's BP was the only thing that made my face completely clear. I tried Murad and Proactiv and those didn't help my skin at all, I was still breaking out. You will have to put it on twice a day if you want to maintain a clear face because sometimes I miss a few days and I start breaking out again. It doesn't dry my face, maybe because I have oily skin. I don't usually put on a moisturizer either. One last thing, for those of you who converted from tube to bottle like me, I didn't see much difference between the two. The bottle was fine dispensing the BP, I pretty much had the same control as the tube.

Pros:

Very effective even at just 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. I think the gel formula is absorbed much more into the skin than a thick cream you find at a store.

Cons:

Very slight dryness and flakes but easily controlled by moisturizer.

I've lived with moderate acne since my teens and tried many prescription and non-prescription drugs. This is the best I've found - highly effective with the least side effects of any drug I've tried.

*great price
*clears acne
*leaves no white residue

Cons:

*dries out skin

If you are suffering from acne, you owe it to yourself to really give the regimen an honest try. I had written off bp as something that didn't work for my acne until I came across this website during a serious bout of acne. I have faithfully followed the regimen for the past 3 months and it has drastically reduced the severity of my acne. This product is of high quality and for a very reasonable cost when you consider how long it lasts. I'm still on my first bottle! But, as with any bp product, it will dry your skin. I have sensitive combo skin that is oily in the T-zone. Even though I am in my 4th month of the regimen, I am still not to a full pump of bp! I have had to go very slow in increasing the bp or else my skin gets extremely dry and irritated. Make sure to use a very good moisturizer!

Pros:

First thing I've ever tries that actually works!
I only use around my mouth and nose and the 8oz treatment lasts for a year, so even with international shipping it's really good value!
Really great, I love it!

Cons:

You need to be careful with clothes, bedding and towels as it can bleach some of them, so I only use white towels and pillows and don't have a problem.
When I first started using it it made my skin red and dry despite moisturising.

I've always had spots appear around my mouth and nose, and even though I didn't have really bad acne because of being a pasty skinned Scottish girl they would show for ages while they healed as wee purple marks, and sometimes they'd be sore swollen lumps and as I'm sure everyone who suffers with this does I hated them. I tried Clearasil, Oxy, Neutragena and other regimens but nothing made any difference, then I found this on the web and it's amazing. At the start I was using it twice a day and it made my skin red even after 3 months so I cut down to once a day (at night) and that seems to be enough for me. I use Eucerin moisturiser which works great with it, I haven't tried Dan's one, I don't think he had one when I first bought this, I've been using it for about 3 years. :) My fiance had a strange red pimply spreading rash on his cheek that spread to his forehead over 6 months, he used this and it was gone in a month, he stopped using it after that and it hasn't come back.
