Pros:

Gets rid of spots quickly
Easy to apply
Sinks in well and doesn't leave a sticky or visible residue
Affordable
Consistency is thin enough to use under makeup

Cons:

Mild dryness
Some redness
Treatment has to be used continuously in order to keep skin clear (though this is true of all BP products)

Why didn't I get this sooner?! I've been trying Dan's regimen on and off for the past few years to varying degrees of success, but was put off buying his products due to shipping costs. However, after seeing all of the good reviews scattered across the internet I thought I'd finally give it a go, and I'm so glad I did. My skin has already adjusted to benzoyl peroxide after trying a few treatments (Oxy On the Spot: cleared up smaller spots, but also created deep, painful cystic acne; Panoxyl Aquagel 2.5%: caused extremely dry skin, a horrible burning sensation and severe redness), so the initial negative side effects have been minimal. This is by far the best BP product I've used. The only downsides I can think of are that I have to get it sent from the US - thus it can take a while to get here - and that I purchased the smallest size bottle which ran out very quickly! I urge everyone to try it if they haven't already. What have you got to lose?

Pros:

Since it's a gel, it doesn't dry too fast like a cream. It never leaves residue like other BP products. It's not gritty (thank goodness, like Zapzit). It's cheap, the ingredients are phenomenal. It doesn't smel; there's no fragrance, which is great for sensitive skin. Maybe it's because I've tried so many other products that the BP never dried up my skin like it's expected to, which is great!

Cons:

Nothing really, except that it takes a few minutes to apply and have it dry. So make sure that you wake up a few minutes earlier because it takes a bit of time if you are following Dan's method. My moisturizer would ball up if I didn't let this dry, which is inevitable to all of us if aren't following Dan's method.

I absolutely can't live without this item anymore. I've tried so many things and I am surprised! I would buy this for the rest of my life. I wish that I had purchased this sooner.

Pros:

cleared existing acne and prevented new acne from developing.
dries clear.
did not experience any flakiness, just mild redness.

Cons:

wish it was readily available at the store.

works great for clearing up acne. i have used it for a little over a week and the difference is amazing. since starting the regimen, i have not had a new pimple form and my old ones have dried up and just the he annoying red marks are left- nothing that a little concealer won't help. try the product.

Pros:

COMPLETELY CLEARED MY ACNE IN ONE WEEK
The best benzoyl peroxide out there.
Works fast..atleast for me it did.
Inexpensive.

Cons:

Flakes galore.
Very drying .
Takes about 10 minutes to dry.

I used proactive about three years ago. It worked well for my skin and I rarely had a zit while I was on it. A few months ago, I tried the "new proactiv" which wrecked my skin. I went to the dermatologist who put me on minocycline and differin. The antibiotic helped, but I still wasn't 100% clear. On the verge of tears, I discovered this site and I am so glad I did! I've only been using dans BP for a week and my skin is so clear. Yes it is drying, but supposedly this goes away after a few weeks and I would rather have dry skin (and I mean DRY skin) than broken out skin. Thanks Dan!! :))

I really do like this product. How I use the producted is I wash with Raw African Black soap, witch hazel toner then the BP and twice a week I use the AHA+ only at night if using AHA+ in day time use a SPF face lotion! I do plan to try Dan's face cleaner and lotion soon.

Pros:

-Goes on clear
-thin consistency
-no residue

Cons:

NONE

LOVE this benzol gel. The only 2%gel that you can buy at the store is AcneFree Terminator sensitive. Dan's benzol is SOOOOO much better. I was using Acnefree benzol until i got Dan's kit in the mail. Let me tell you, I can see and feel the difference! Dan's Benzol goes on so smooth and is less harsh than AcneFree benzol (which has alchohol=drying). I'm so excited I bought this!!

Pros:

Price, The big tube lasts me a year, It works!

Cons:

Bleaches towels and clothing if touched when wet.

I've used Dan's regimen for about 5 years now. None of the things the dermatologist gave me worked (except for antibiotics and you cant stay on those forever : ) I had sever cystic acne and as long as I use the regimen religiously I am clear. Thanks Dan!

Pros:

it's been working so far....yeah!

Cons:

can be drying but we already know that....moisturizing is a must

I actually purchased this to start using on my twelve year old daughter. Her skin was starting to break out kind of on a regular basis; no big pimples, but still whiteheads on chin and forehead. We've been consisitently using this for about five weeks, and so far so good! Her skin is noticeably better with whiteheads very rare now....hope we continue to see good results. Thanks so much for this site and your products.....I'm sold! : )
