Pros:

Fragrance-free, very light, leaves no white marks or residue (both before or after drying), as effective as 10%, non shiny or greasy.

Cons:

None, hands down the best benzoyl peroxide product I've tried. Period.

When I first found this site, I found it interesting but grew cynical when I saw products were for sale. "Oh, so that's the catch," I thought, "this is just an excuse for some guy to peddle his products." I was completely wrong - this is the best BP treatment I have ever used, and trust me, I have used every brand out there in 3 different countries. I can't believe no one has made such a great product that goes on clear, is fragrance free, is light to the touch and unobtrusive, and yet totally effective. Amazing stuff and totally worthwhile. It cleared me up big time.

Pros:

Tone of my skin has improved

Cons:

ugh-actually gave me cysts, have a few huge painful pimples at a time that just won't go away, substantial drying

I have only been using it for two weeks, but I had really hoped it would not make my skin worse before it gets better. And it did. I have never had cysts before and such big painful pimples. And I am not even fully sure that it will get better. I had been on tazorac for 9 months and it totally destroyed my face so I am not optimistic about products now. So I am discouraged but hopefully by two months I'll be clear. However, regarding some of the other reviews on this product, it stops working after a couple years..so then whats the point. I guess I just have to wait and see for myself.

Pros:

goes on clear. odorless. alot of product for a little price(very economical)

Cons:

excessive drying

ive been suffering from moderate acne for 5 or 6 years and only been using this product for 5 days and my skin i practically clear except for a few blemishes. The first couple of days it accually made my existing pimple to break out more but in the last 3 days i havent had a new pimple pop up. It did over dry my skin but i just had to apply a good moisturizer.

Pros:

Definitely works to clear up acne!

Cons:

Takes FOREVER to rub in. Also, it "pills" up into little balls once I put on the moisturizer.

I love this product! It may have its cons, but they aren't worth going back to acne. Before The Regimen, I was developing 3-4 new pustules or cystic acne every day, even though I was using ProActiv (2 1/2 years)and then Acne Free (a few months). In the last month that I've been using The Regimen, I've only developed a few new ones, and that was mainly because I neglected to wash my face one night. The ones that did come up were gone within 2 days. It seems a little pricey, but I was spending AT LEAST $40 every month on ProActiv, and this product lasts 2 months for less than that, so it really is a bargain. I am EXTREMELY pleased with this product, and will continue to use it.

Pros:

Actually does the job. The most effective acne medication you will find.

If your really interested in ridding your acne keep reading.

Cons:

Benzoyl Peroxide bleaches fabrics. (But what do you care more about your clear complexion or your pillow-case?)

Your skin may turn reddish, become dry, and/or itchy. Use a GOOD moisturizer and use it properly.

You just looked in the mirror and saw that your acne is breaking out again and you can't figure why or out how to stop it. YOU'VE TRIED EVERYTHING... washing your face, not washing, drying, sunbathing, creams, masks, diets, pills, you even stopped thinking dirty thoughts at church thinking your acne was a punishment from God. Frustrated you ran to your computer and searched the internet for an answer. You were tech savvy enough to type "ACNE" into google and find this site. Now your here reading this review wondering if you should spend a few dollars on this product. I was you, and let me say that after 10 years of EVERY sort of acne medication this is the most effective with the least amount of side effects. The most important thing is to read the regimen on this site and FOLLOW IT TO THE VERY LAST DETAIL. Write it down and follow it EVERYDAY. Do this and your acne will clear up.

Pros:

decent price, goes on easy, works pretty fast, no smell

Cons:

dries skin a bit, not too bad though

I have used EVERYTHING and gotta say the Regimen is in my top 3, possibly top of all the things that has worked for me, and my acne was bad!!!! It was bad to the point that my girl called me pizza face. It worked in about a week, I have been on it now for a month and have no more bumps/pimples, its the smoothest I been in years. I have a few scars/blemishes but those go away with time. For the price, definitely one of the best things out there hands down!

Pros:

Lightweight formula, no smell. I found it to be very effective although I used a smaller amount of bp gel than recommended. A LOT less drying than 5 % bp gel (the only kind they have in Norway)

Cons:

Drying at first, but it went away after 3-4 weeks (I have dry skin). Doesn't work with foundation. A tiny bit sticky on the skin.

This is the best acne medication I have ever tried! I have suffered from mild/moderate acne and a lot of blackheads for as long as I can remember. I started taking birthcontrol pills about a year ago to help with the acne, and slowly but surely most of the pimples cleared up nicely. I was left with a few pimples, but the blackheads and redness remained. I've used Dan's bp gel for about a month, and the little I had left of pimples have disappeared, my skin looks more even and the blackheads are less visible (the last is probably a result of the peeling effect of the bp gel). I now use it once a day, in the evening, and find that effective enough. I then use the full dosage. If needed, I use also during the day with a smaller dosage.

Pros:

Gets rid of acne, gel based, big size, cost...

Cons:

drying at first but thats with any BP

I bought this product because i was satisfies with the clearing results of Nuetrogena BP 2.5%. This BP is much better then neutrogena cause it will dry onto skin so you know its penetraiting. I would so recommend this. I am a 16 year old african american who been using so many products to clear acne since I was 12... nothing worked like this. I ttried salystic acid, ProActive(which only made me darker), scrubbing with washcloth and harsh soap, differin, colon clense pills(although it did get rid of some of the cystic ones), and even products from other countries without an ingrediants label... THIS BP WORKS... I felt like giving up the first few days but i was like what tha heck, i bought the 16 oz for $40 so i might as well stick with it... and i started noticing people telling me your skin is clearing up so i stayed with it and im almost clear =D
