Pros:

I have been fighting adult onset acne for 15 years. This is the ONLY product that has cleared it up and kept it clear! Even treatments using accutane were not effective. This is the BEST acne treatment!

Cons:

I haven't found any cons yet.

If you struggle with acne, try this... I was frustrated until I found this product.

Pros:

Very effective BP gel. Absorbs into skin and gets rid of acne if used consistently.

Cons:

Flakiness and dryness (but that is reversed with the use of a moisturizer)

Best BP product I've found yet. It is light and non-greasy and most importantly, it is a gel so it's very easily absorbed into the skin with no white marks after application. Like all BP, it causes flakiness and dryness but that can be mitigated with moisturizer.

Pros:

Works for me, smooth and easy to apply, lasts way longer (2 squirts day and night) than your average tube of BP, smell reminds me of my ex.

Cons:

Smell reminds me of my ex :(

All jokes aside, it does what every other BP treatment has failed to do and that's clear up most of my pimples BETTER and without the white residue. I used to have many tiny bumps which would scar, but after a few months of using this they're all gone and now I only deal with a few pimples. If you have time in your morning routine and you have acne, give it a try.

Pros:

Good size, works for me, gel consistency

Cons:

cannot be bought in stores, the pump does not make it travel-friendly

I had small acne, but there wasn't a day I didn't have at least one. And I noticed my skin getting worse as I get older. This helped me within a week! I got a few break outs but they healed in a matter of two days! I like this over the cream for one major reason, it doesn't sting my face. I think I am allergic to bp and the cream (I used Neutrogena) made my face so red and painful, I could only use it every other day. In the day I was peeling a LOT too. With the gel, it not only is easier to apply, it doesn't leave a white film over your face and I can use it everyday (although only once a day because it makes my skin sting a little). I have to use NIVEA Soft cream as moisturizer cause everything else is not moisturizing enough. The only small con: the pump can't be closed and recently while travelling I had to take the pump out, and close the bottle with plastic because I put a brand new unopened bottle in my luggage and it opened.

Pros:

The best BP I've tried. Gentle and light texture. Goes on clear and less drying than other brands of BP.

Cons:

Very expensive shipping. Not available in stores.

This is highly recommended. I won't go back to other brands of BP as long as Dan's BP is available.

Pros:

My skin started to heal from the first day. After 2 weeks my break outs were at a minimal.
After three months my scars were fading. after nine I now have beautiful skin. It has changed my life. I had had acne since 13 years.Thank you Dan.

Cons:

I have oily skin so the drying was minimal

The Doctors and Dermatologists KNOW acne is GENETIC / hormonally related yet they palm us off with expensive failing treatment. 2.5 % BP can make it managable. Save your money. BUY Dan Kern. It WILL WORK for most people but you MUST use it Twice a day Everyday. Use an AHA with SPF15 for extra smoothing & clearing....

Fantastic product, I won't use anything else, This product has hands down made me smile everytime I look in the mirror

Pros:

Goes on clear - it's like it was never there! Really easy to use. Much more effective than PanOxy.

Cons:

Made my face red for the first few days...but emu oil has got rid of that, so it's okay now. Oh, and shipping charges to England are a bit steep, but that isn't exactly anyone's fault.

BUY IT! Seriously, even if you have been using other BP treatments and it didn't do much, this one will. You notice the difference from the moment you start applying it.

Pros:

it actually worked.

Cons:

Turned my face red for the first month.

I've used proactiv, neutrogena, vichy, oxy, & a bunch more and none have ever shown this much progress in two months than this product did in a week. I had a friend commenting within a week of using it that they could see a tiny change. Now it's been two months and I just have a small section on the sides of my face and chin compared to when it was all over my face. I use the cleanser and the treatment (different mostrizer though). I suggest anyone who is having a tough time with acne to try it and have yet to find ANYTHING that works! Just read up on how to use it. I used only a fingertip at night for the first few weeks, moved to a little more for the next few weeks, & now I use it twice a day. It also helps to flip your pillow once a day and clean it (along with sheets) often and watch out for the phone/cell phone acne. And if you have side bangs/bangs, pull them out of your face as much as you can for awhile. I'm so amazed at how much it worked and that it doesn't cost $200 to buy.
