Pros:

Gets rid of acne
Not drying at all
Works very quickly

Cons:

None

I would recommend this to anyone who has nodular, cystic acne like myself. Works very quickly (almost over night) and does not irritate my skin.

Pros:

-Helps shrink existing pimples.
-Goes on clear.
-Cheap

Cons:

-EXTREMELY dry skin.

-takes a long time for it to settle on skin.

Let me start off by saying I have been an avid user of acne.org's BP since I was 15. It helped tremendously when I was a teen. Im 23 now and I dont know if the formula has changed or its my skin but this just isnt cutting it anymore. My skin is always dry. Mind you, I have extremely oily skin. No moisturizer has been able to help me get over dry skin. Not even trying adding jojoba oil to it. I feel BP has aged me 5-10 years. There are too many cons that outweigh the pros. Sadly, as I have been an avid supporter of this community. Time for accutane....

Pros:

It's the only Treatment that's worked.

Cons:

Like most treatments, it will probably dry your skin out a bit. I can't use it every day because my skin would be too dry and flaky.

I've tried many products, none seemed to make an improvement. As a last effort before I went to see the derm. again for more options, I decided to give this a try. I'm really glad I did. My acne isn't gone, but its 80-90% better.

Pros:

Spreads well, absorbs fast, feels great

This stuff absolutely rocks. It goes on great and I like the mild smell it has. It seems to irritate my skin less than other BP treatments as well. Oh yea, and it works!

Pros:

Works well
Not super expensive
Little goes a long way
Cleared me up!

Cons:

Bleaches colored fabric

I have worked with every kind of acne treatment, except accutane, to clear up my acne. This was the final touch that I really needed. I have been on benzoyl peroxide in the past but it dried out my skin too much, but this stuff does not dry me out and in combonation with tazorac my skin is really clear. It also appears to have cleaned out my t-zone pores and made them look smaller!

Pros:

CHEAP! Works really well, easy to apply and doesn't dry my skin out too badly

Cons:

None I know of!

This is pretty much the only BP product you should choose, for the price alone. Similar product from Oxy, Clearasil etc have similar effects for me, but are horrendously expensive. The guys at acne.org are also super friendly, really knowledgeable and all around great guys! Thanks acne.org!

Pros:

Goes on easy and clear
No white residue
Does not sting too much
Gentle
Big bottle for the price
It works!

Cons:

Takes a while to dry if used in recommended amounts

I have been using it for about a week now and it works well so far. It is definitely most gentle BP treatment I have ever used. I have been on Dan's regimen for 3 weeks and while first week was rough (I was about to quit), it looks like my skin has adjusted. I have not had any new acne in a week (knocking on wood.)

Pros:

- Very light
- Doesn't smell bad like other BP brands
- Goes on smoothly
- It prevents break outs

Cons:

- Doesn't remove pimples quickly (dries them out only)
- Leaves red marks
- Takes a long time to work effectively

This is a great product, the key is PATIENCE, PATIENCE, and yes more PATIENCE. Give it time and it will work for most people. Follow Dan's instructions by spreading gently and 2 full pumps after using the regimen for awhile and you will be clear eventually. One big downfall is it leaves existing acne and turns them into red marks.

Pros:

After one week it has started to work and reduced my acne up to 80%. In three weeks i started to forget what is acne at all!

Cons:

None, so far. Maybe delivery is a bit expensive...

I would recommend this product to others 100%, because it does work. Thank you!
