Pros:

A bargain! I've tried everything short of Accutane and Dan Kern's regimen absolutely works as long as you stick with it.

Cons:

As with any benzoyl peroxide product, the gel can stain pillowcases and towels. Consider sleeping on white pillowcases or put a soft towel on your pillow.

Try it! And definitely use a lot of it. I'm been using the gel for almost a year now and I won't use any other over-the-counter product. DK's gel doesn't dry out my skin and doesn't irritate it in spite of the fact that I have sensitive skin. After washing my face, I apply moisturizer (or sunscreen in the morning), then I apply the gel (not the other way around because then it forms a paste). Seriously, give it a try, but remember to be diligent.

Pros:

I like it very much. It's not too creamy, it's not too watery, it's the perfect balance. The scent is as neutral as it gets. It's very affordable and works! I used to break out nearly every week and my face cleared up in about two weeks.

Cons:

None

Purchase, use, and enjoy clean face.

Pros:

Dries quickly, good amount in bottle, doesn't irritate skin, it actually WORKS

Cons:

Wish it was sold in stores. Oh well.

I am SO happy with this product. I have tried EVERYTHING and this is the only thing that's worked! My acne was severe enough that I was a candidate for Accutane, but I was afraid of all the side effects, so I held off. Thankfully I found this website and the regimen, and it's worked for me! I still get the occasional zit, but my skin is so much better than it was before, and for that I am so grateful! For the first time in my entire life, people are complimenting me for my clear skin! I never imagined that would ever happen! Thanks DK, for an awesome product!

Pros:

This stuff works the same as the Duac my Dermatologist prescribed me. It smells the same, feels the same, and looks the same. Only, now I'm paying more than 1,000% less. This is great news for me since I'm not insured. Thanks Dan!

Cons:

Has that "smell." Not strong, but not pleasant.

Use it, use it some more, and then use it some more. This stuff will make you completely clear with consistent use! However, you must continue treatment. Since there is no cure for acne, you must continue using this until you overcome acne later in life.

Pros:

It works!!

Cons:

Not in stores, shipping is a little high

I have been suffering from acne since I was 12 years old. I ordered this after my face got destroyed by Murad Acne Complex. I noticed a HUGE difference after the first night I used it. Pimples were smaller, redness was fading. I have used it for the last few months and I have never been happier. My face is completely cleared up! I will actually have clear skin for my wedding!

Pros:

Clears acne up FAST (depending on your skin).

Cons:

Not in stores.

IT WORKS. I've tried Proactiv, AcneFree, Clearasil, EVERYTHING-until my friend told me about Dan K.'s regimen. After I finished treatment from the dermatologist, my acne came back and was worser than ever. So I decided to try Dan K.'s acne regimen. My acne cleared up within a week and after three weeks (now) it's officialy clear exept for one or two pimples now and then and the acne scars from old breakouts. Thank You SOO much for creating this regimen!

Pros:

Not irritating
Size of Bottle
Price

Cons:

Shipping Cost (All in all a value though)

Was paying much more for prescription (Duac) that had 5% BP. After seeing how well a BP solution worked but not wanting to pay the cost ($40 per month), tried DK product. It's not overdrying for me, but this takes about 3 -4 months of application for the new BP user. I've found that Zirh "Protect" is an excellent moisturizer that can take care of any flakiness in the beginning without making the problem worse. Thanks DK! Nice job!

Pros:

Does a great job of clearing up acne. Goes on incredibly smooth.

Cons:

Postage is pretty expensive.
Will bleach your clothes like mad if they touch anything. Be very careful of what you touch.
Difficult to use on back w/o bleaching shirts.

If your looking for a way to truly clear up your acne this is a great place to start. While it doesnt seem to eliminate it all together it really helps to keep them from breaking out badly. The more you use it the better it will work. I work in the medical industry and see people paying $80 for RXs of benzole peroxide creams. Not nearly worth the price. If you can apply the cream to your face after you put your shirt on int he morning and make sure you don't touch your face to your clothes, then it will not bleach. I have ruined many shirts with this stuff so be careful.

Pros:

Clears and prevents acne, goes on clear, no white residue, doesn't irritate my skin, feels great, unscented

Cons:

Drying, not available in stores

Best acne treatment ever!! I've tried some many acne treatments, but this it the only one that actually cleared me up. It cleared up my mild acne within a month. It is a bit drying, but all BP does that to some degree. A good moisturizer takes care of that. I just wish that this fabulous product was available in stores!
