Pros:

works well, inexpensive, and fragrance free. Way better than the lotion from Proactiv.

Cons:

None so far!!!

This stuff is a miracle. Doesn't dry out your skin like other bp lotion's.

Pros:

good texture, goes on well, amazing product

Cons:

Shipping...

So far this is the best BP gel I have ever found. I have had acne for a long time and I hope this clears it up. This is by far the best product out there for acne. The only thing is shipping is really expensive, but other than that it is a great product!

Pros:

Amazing product! Gentle and effective when used in accordance with the regimen. I am amazed at how clear my skin is--it's clear for the first time in so many years. Rivals the 100% clear effects I had when I was on minocycline.

Cons:

Can be drying-just moisturize and be careful where you put it (around eyes, sensitive neck areas, watch the eyebrows!)

I'm still in awe as to how this product works so well. I started the regimen about 2 mos. ago, using OTS. This product is far superior--goes on smooth, absorbs well, no pilling. Easy to use under makeup. After switching to this product about a month ago, my face is clear to the point that I rarely get inflamed bumps (maybe one-two a week now) and those that I do get go away in a matter of hours it seems. Small bumps under the skin have come out too. My skin is so smooth and nice now, and I have battled moderate to severe acne for 11+ years. Thank you, Dan, for giving me hope and a beautiful complexion!

Pros:

I love this product! It has honeslty saved my face. I go without makeup all the time now and I feel great about it. I want to thank Dan every day for this, he has changed my life. I love feeling good about my face!

Cons:

Not a thing!

If you feel that it does not work for u at first give it a couple months. Your skin may have to get worse before it gets better. If you fall off the horse and you start breaking out again, go back and do the regimen. Make sure to always wash your hands before washing your face. I have never stuck with a product in my life and I faithfully use this 2 times a day or I will break out again. My skin looks amazing and I haven't been able to say that for years. Thanks again Dan, you are amazing!

Pros:

By far the best acne product I have ever used. Works incredibly effectively without overdrying the skin.

This is an incredible product. After struggling with acne for years and trying a wide range of treatments, my skin is finally clear! I can't recommend it highly enough.

Pros:

Even figuring in shipping costs, much cheaper per ounce than similar products available in stores. The gel formulation absorbs better than the cream-based store formula and doesn't roll off when you use moisturizer afterwards.

Cons:

None really. Maybe the fact you have to order it online and wait for a mail order, but that keeps cost low (and it's not a big of problem for us who live in the US compared to foreign countries). At least you get a generous amount in each tube.

This is a great product, and I really appreciate Dan developing it and sharing it with others at a reasonable price. It glides on easily and absorbs well, resulting in using less product compared to what I used of Neutrogena On-the-Spot. It doesn't feel heavy on and doesn't affect moisturizer or makeup application. There is no fragrance. Also, since switching to this gel from On-the-Spot, the regimen works much better for me, and now my skin is almost clear. I find the gel less drying and irritating, too. So, for me, this product is more affordable, more effective, and more pleasant to use than other 2.5% BP products. I would recommend this product to anyone with mild or moderate acne as part of a gentle skin care routine.

Pros:

Absorbs much better and is not as drying as the only other 2.5% BP product out there, plus is much cheaper.

The only thing that's worked to clear up extensive acne.

Pros:

works very well; goes on easy with no white film; smells fine; lasts for almost 2 months and nice bottle design haha

Cons:

a little too shiny if putting it on my forehead and nose area but thats usually only at night; can be a bit too drying but still looking to find a really good moisturizer as well; wish they sold it in stores so we wouldn't have to pay for shipping.

Overall a really good medication to fight light to moderate acne. Don't think its really for more severe acne but give it a shot anyway. This really helped my skin out a lot but still need to find a good way to moisturize and also get this layer of dead skin off my face which this stuff contributes to but overall it still works very well and much more affordable then other products.

Pros:

gentle, and feels fresh when applied. you dont experience the severe breakouts, dryness, and redness that you may experience when begining other acne medications

Cons:

VERY mild dryness and peeling for about 1-2 weeks

just like many of you, i've tried EVERYTHING for my acne. i was compelled to try this particular product (the clear skin regimen) after reading Dan Kern's testimony. it was clear that his goal was not to make money, but to share his success with acne with others like him. so i ordered the topical gel, and went to the drugstore and bought Cetephil (face wash) and a moisturizer with SPF 30 by Eucerin. Ive been on my regimen for about 10 months now, and only had a total of 2 pimples since. my skin started to clear up after only 2-3 weeks of use, and i didnt experience ugly breakouts or severe dryness like some medications. save a trip to the dermotologist, and try Dan's regimen first. you have nothing to loose. i got my best friend, and my brother hooked, and they love it.

Pros:

I like that it comes in 4 oz. (more than any other products I've used before) but it's surprising how fast you go through it. I also like the no nonsense packaging. It's all about the products!

Cons:

Takes time and patience to allow products to be absorbed, rewashing of hands and applying moisturizer. That was my biggest problem before; committing to a regimen (laziness) But like they say, if you want something, you gotta work for it ;)

This regimen works because it makes sense. It's a life long commitment to maintain great skin so... HERE'S TO GREAT SKIN EVERYONE!
