Pros:

Huge bottle will last long
Gel consistency spreads
Pump (16 oz)
Effective

Cons:

N/A

The smell doesn't bother me, I don't have adverse reactions to the BP, and it works well. I'm approaching 1 month of the Regimen and my skin is getting better. I was using the 2% BP by AcneFree, but Dan's BP is much cheaper per ounce and for shipping. I can't use 3 full pumps. It's too much, even though it's the recommended dose.

Pros:

- doesn't smell
- doesn't burn
- creamy texture
- works!!!

Cons:

nothing at all

I was 2 days shy of my doctor putting me on Acutane. My acne was that severe and I was 28 and absolutely sick of it. In a last ditch effort, I made a leap of faith and ordered all of the acne.org products. I saw results within two days!!! My husband could not believe his eyes and neither could I. I practically burst into tears at the sight of my new skin. Love, love, love all of these products.

Pros:

Has cleared up my acne completely!

Cons:

Bleaches clothes/pillow cases
Takes a while to follow the regimen from start to finish having to wait 5 - 15 mins in-between each step
Flaking of skin early in the treatment

I am 27 year old female and have suffered from acne since the age of... 15? Was started on antibiotics which worked up until the age of 21 ish? Struggled with many different contraceptive pills as all aggravated my acne so am still not taking any birth control now at the age of 27 due to the havoc it wreaks with my skin... I have tried EVERYTHING! I've tried not doing anything (the natural way) - doesn't work, I've tried every pill and cream on the market - really really expensive ones - really really cheap ones.... Recently I tried a course of Jan Marini face peels which worked for a while but then my face soon broke out and its quite harsh stuff and seriously expensive... Then tried to go back to soothing products like Dermalogica and that definitely didn't work! I thought I would give the regimen a go and here I am writing to you with clear skin! I still have scars and I have the odd little spot around my period but nothing like I used to have. And my skin isn't painful any more either! - I'm sure lots of you know what I mean - not only is acne unattractive but it hurts! I have only been using the regimen for about 8-10 weeks but I am very happy. It is tough to start with, lots of flaking of the skin and people look at you a little strangely - but stick with it - its worth it in the end! It took about a month for it to settle down... I really hope it works for anyone reading this review as I know the desperate state we are all in to find something that works.

Pros:

my skin cleared up fast

Cons:

dryed out my skin in certain areas of my face

i first bought the travel size treatment to see if it would work so i wouldn't spend too much. i finished that bottle in 3 weeks, i followed dans directions AND I COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT THIS. i washed with dove sensitive skin bar. and mosturized w. murad skin perfecting lotion! I RUSHED TO BUY THE BIGGEST BOTTLE OF THIS THEY HAD, i use this twice a day, and in between if i feel like i need a little more on problem areas, THIS PRODUCT WORKS EXTREMELY WELL, TRY IT AND DON'T FORGET TO USE A OIL-FREE LITEWEIGHT LOTION ON DRY AREAS!

This treatment is amazing. It cleared me up in about 2 weeks. I'm not perfect yet but i havent been on it for so long. I don't have to wear makeup anymore. It's worth the price and it's the only thing that worked. THANKYOU DAN!!!!!

Cons:

none. just use a nice moisturizer so you don't get dry/red :)

BUY THIS PRODUCT! you won't regret it.

Pros:

Gentle
Goes on clear

Cons:

Doesnt stop breakouts as well as others

I wanted to like it, but it just isn't as good as other BP products like clinique. This BP is horrendous at stopping breakouts from happening while you're out and about. I would be out having fun, go to a bathroom and be embarrassed to see a few pimples had risen. So I could never feel secure about my face using this stuff when I was out. I will say that it is quality ingredients, it's gentle and goes on clear, I wish I could like it, but it's just not good enough.

Pros:

works
odorless

Cons:

dries out skin
bleaches fabric

I had basically given up on trying to treat my acne (I've tried everything, including proactiv and accutane), but after reading reviews on this product I decided to give it a try. I have been using this for a month and a half so far and the results have been great. (note: I only apply this at night, and follow the application with jojoba oil enhanced moisturizer.) The major con is dry skin, which is no joke. I thought only applying it at night would deter my skin from drying out so much, but the dryness is inevitable (although adding jojoba oil to my moisturizer has helped, I think). So, if you're like me and have given up on treating your acne, please consider trying this product. I still have some scars and my skin is not magically clear, but I have seen a significant improvement in the time I have been using it.

AMAZING job clearing up my skin. FOLLOW the instructions laid forth on this website.

Cons:

Does dry but using the jojoba oil with my moisturizer really helps

LOVE IT! Price is great, product is great and it delivers when you use it like you should. I have used Maxclairty, Proactive and soo much more. This works but follow the directions!

Pros:

-great consistency/soaks in quickly
-feels great to use
-IT WORKS

Cons:

-causes very dry skin/cracking/peeling/flaking
-takes time for skin to get used to it

I have had severe acne for several years now, but when I went to college it became out of control. It took a good 2 1/2 months, but my face is finally looking great and my acne is about 85% cleared i'd say. This REALLY works, with patience and consistency.

Pros:

not over drying
gel
cheap
large tube (can use a lot)
works!

Cons:

can be a bit irritating
will dry you out a little bit but nothing a moisturizer can't fix
the first few weeks dried me out a lot but my skin got used to it so don't stop using it because it works!

it works. it is irritating at first and will probably dry you out at the first few days or weeks but just use a moisturizer and keep using it because it does help with acne a lot!
