Pros:

This is the only acne treatment product I've ever found that actually works but doesn't make my skin get red and flaky. I use it every night with the rest of the regimen and I have consistently clear. It has helped with blackheads as well as acne.

Cons:

At first there can be some slight irritation, but if you keep using it every day it will go away in about a week. Much less irritation than most other effective products.

I highly recommend this. It is not too weak and not too strong, so you can use it consistently. My friends keep saying how great my skin looks now. Get it and use it everyday.

Pros:

BEST BP I've ever used, hands down

Cons:

well, I gave the packaging a 4/5, because of the whole ACNE.ORG thing, it just bugs me, I think it would be much nicer if it said D.K.R or DKR or something like that.

This is the best BP I've used. It does make me red like any other BP, but I used the acne.org moisturizer to take care of that (it much have a nice calming agent in it to take redness out even when my face isn't dry or irritable to begin with). I really think the fact that this is pharmeceutical grade and finely milled makes all the difference, it gets deeper down into the pores. Since starting this product, I have not had one breakout, and it's already been about 5 days. Yes, I'm expecting one eventually, it's normal since I'm just starting the regimen, but just surprised I haven't had one already, this stuff is really working!

Pros:

does a good job of clearing acne. you have to stick to the regiment!!!!

Cons:

dries face out, and turns face red (some of this has subbsided but still a little dry and red)

Well im very glad I gave this a try. I have been using the stuff for about a mounth and out of the regime the bp gel is the best. When I started I did not follow the regime perfectly, I tried to use too much bp to fast. If you do this no matter how resilant you think your skin is, you will regret it and become red and dry out. So I was forced to drop the bp amount to a much small amount. Only now am I on the full amount of bp and I am starting to clear up. It is certainly worth a try, and hopfully my redness will continue to subside. Also I have hade troubles finding a mosturizers Dans makes my face red. I tried aloe gel but does not work that well. GOOD LUCK

Pros:

first thing i noticed was that the redness had gone away. then moderate acne shrunk to minimal. about a month into it no acne. have kept it up for 10 weeks now and have had only 4 blemishes. these heal within a couple days of coming out.

Cons:

a little drying at first, for me. i have very oily skin though.

try it! try it! try it! especially if you have oily skin. it seems to control oil too the longer i use it. i would absolutely recommend this (and the regimen) to anyone. if/when my kids happen to get acne i would not hesitate to get this for them.

Pros:

It's fast absorbing and doesn't sting or overly drying and definetly way better of a texture than most BP gel.

Cons:

I have none.

I just started using it recently and already my annoying pimples are stop dead in their tracks. They'e going away AND my skin isn't like sandpaper. I bought the whole system because I perfer products to be made by the SAME company.

Pros:

It works!!! Dries clear, easy to use, large quantity tube is excellent

Cons:

Dries skin a bit, as already noted, but really no cons to this product

I have tried EVERYTHING for acne. I mean everything. Apple Cider Vinegar, antibiotics, natural cures, Proactiv, Accutane (yes, Accutane) blah, blah, blah. This is the ONLY product that I have found, if used liberally as directed, that keeps my acne away! I love sleeping with my head on my boyfriend's shoulder, which normally gives me extreme acne on my cheek. I slather this stuff on before bed, follow with moisturizer, and my acne hasn't come back for weeks! I love it! Highly recommended. The best regimen is this stuff, twice a day followed by any decent oil-free moisturizer; then use the Proactiv masque every other day (don't bother with the rest of their regimen, it doesn't work long term), which absolutely evens the tone of your skin excellently. I've had acne for over 15 years and this is the best combination of products I've ever found. Thank you Daniel Kern!

Pros:

After about 3 weeks, my SEVERE acne is under control. There is no "soapy" smell that so many other BP products have. My makeup goes on nicely after product is dry. I noticed an improvement within 2 days.

Cons:

My skin was very dry and tight feeling for the first two weeks. It's a small price to pay while your face is adjusting to the treatment and well worth it for the results! And I no longer have problems with dryness 3 weeks into the program.

I have tried oral prescription medications, Mary Kay, Proactiv, Retin-A, and many prescription acne treatments...all with poor results. I am so thankful for the information on this site and for the 2.5% BP, which is SO affordable and such high quality. I had nice skin until I gave birth to my first child, and have struggled with painful cystic acne and literally hundreds of those awful bumps that are embedded under the skin but never come to a head and look so terrible. My skin has never looking better since giving birth. If you are an adult struggling with acne and wondering if this product could work for you, give it a try. Many people commented that the cleanser was too drying, so I decided to use over-the-counter Cetaphil cleanser, which is so mild and non-drying. I use the Acne.org BP, and the Acne.org moisturizer. I am getting great results! I highly recommend these products.

Pros:

Cost, smell, consistancy, all of the above are great!!

Cons:

None that I have found so far. Only used for a week now.

I love this product!!! I ordered the 16oz bottle the day that I found this website. I knew I had a tube of the Neutrogena On the Spot Treatment at home and used this product until Dan's Treatment came in the mail. What a difference between the two products! Neutrogena gave me bad flakes when used with my moisturizer. And I felt like it was more drying on my skin. But Dan's Treatment does not do that at all. I have only been doing The Regimen for a week, but I already see results. Even my husband says he has noticed. I use the Purpose Liquid Face Wash (couldn't find the bar, very popular I guess. I went to two different Target locations and both of them were out of stock of the bar)and the Purpose Moisturizer as well. My face does have some dry spots, but I am just waiting for my skin to adjust to this program. Well worth it for the clear skin that I am seeing. Recommended to all. Dan's Treatment is worth every penny!!!

Pros:

I love how clear and smooth this BP gel goes on. It's just as effective as 10% BP without the intense stinging. It doesn't leave residue and WON'T clump up when applying to the skin.

Cons:

I don't have anything negative to say about Dan's BP.

IT WORKS!!! I have used everything from Proactive, Klear Action, Acne Free, Clearasil Ultra, Clean and Clear...EVERYTHING...and I have never used a better BP than Dan's. Try it. It goes on clear, won't clump up, is fragrance free, as is sold in huge amounts+++!!! I'm purchasing another 16oz this weekend. I'm in love with this product. I am a customer for life.

Pros:

goes on easily, doesn't clump or flake, works great under make-up, works quickly!

Cons:

not available in stores, so you have to make sure you order it before you run out. I started to break out as soon as I ran out!

This is the only acne product I've used that has worked consistantly. I've tried Proactive, and other similar products, but none of them worked as well as this product. I think it's a case of "less is more". The less crap you're putting on your face, the happier your skin will be.
