Pros:

Works better than anything I've ever tried
Fast
Easy to do
Able to use day and night--goes on clear
Almost entirely clear skin

Cons:

Flakiness similar to accutane
Lots of initial redness

I love this stuff. Used everything else from accutane many years ago to recently retin-a and tetracycline. Only this has worked. Went from have 2-4 new pimples every day to once a week. Almost entirely clear. Make sure to get a good moisturizer though.

Pros:

10 times better than proactive.
No smell
generous size compared to proactive
$$$$ = perfect

Cons:

None

You need to try this if you used proactive and it worked some what. This will work much better if used correctly. I have been using it for a little over a week and it is so much better than proactive I love it! Thanks dan!

Pros:

No scent
Cleared up acne
Works great as an overnight spot treatment
A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS :)

Cons:

NONE.

This product is magical! Like a lot of you, I tried every product from every company and despite the promises to clear 100% of acne I found myself either worse off or with no change at all. I came to Acne.org to find reviews on other products and when I found out Dan sold products I decided to give it a try. I have a sensitive face so I had about 2 weeks worth of peeling, itching and burning while trying to get used to the BP but once that subsided I was able to look into the mirror for the first time in my life and feel confident. I got compliments left and right from people I didn't even know and I felt so good about myself. I'm going to be using this product for the rest of my life, I love it so much! P.S. I know how extremely uncomfortable it can be during the time period that you're skin is trying to get used to the BP but please believe me when I say DON'T GIVE UP! Your skin will eventually get used to it and all of your acne will be gone for good. Just hang in there and good luck to everyone who is suffering with acne, it will get better :)

Pros:

This product goes on light and smooth, does not irritate whatsoever. It clears any current outbreaks overnight and prevents new ones. Using it everyday will help you maintain clear, healthy skin.

Cons:

Might take a few days for your skin to get used to it. AVOID EYE AREA!! If your regimen also includes an eye cream...I would use the eye cream first, let it completely absorb/dry before you use the treatment. Also, make sure to let the treatment completely absorb/dry before applying moisure lotion (as the directions state) to further ensure you will not irritate delicate eye skin..

I never had a problem with acne during my teens and early twenties. In my late twenties I got "adult acne" and as a woman a common problem...rosacea in the balls of my cheeks, and little pimples under the skin that never formed a head, and were continually there!! I tried some products from the drug store...they were very harsh for my skin. I also tried proactiv and it bleached all my towels!! Anyway, the acne.org treatment is THE BEST..it goes on light and smooth, does not irritate, and is a reasonable part of a daily routine. I appreciate the discreet packaging in shipment and the bottle itself. I literally cannot imagine life without this product...Im 31 now , so [link removed] you better provide this for another...I dont know...50 years!! xoxox I would not be without it!!!

Pros:

a large bottle
no scent
easy to apply

Cons:

caused face and eyes to swell
redness
itching

I've had stubborn acne for a while now and thought I'd finally give BP a try. I ordered this because of all the good reviews I saw. The first night, I put it on, closely following the regimen. I only used a pea-sized amount as directed and went to sleep. The next morning, I woke up with mild itching and my face was tinged a little red for the whole day but it wasn't major. That afternoon, I came home and put it on again after a shower (I hadn't put it on that morning so there was more than a 12 hour difference). That evening, I started to notice the itching was persistant and getting worse. The redness wasn't subsiding either. Another 10-12 hours later, I put it on again (pea-sized amount as usual) and went to bed. The next morning was horrible. I woke up and my face was puffy, red and itching like crazy! Thankfully I didn't have to go anywhere but it was awful! I immediately stopped using it but there hasn't been much change. I woke up this morning and my face was still very red but I think the swelling went down a bit. However, now my left eyelid is swollen. In the end, I didn't see much improvement in my acne either but I was only using it for three days. I think I may be allergic to BP since a while back I had a similar reaction while using an Oxy cleanser with BP but my doctor attributed it partly to seafood. I suppose anyone trying this really has to be careful and make sure they're not allergic first.

Pros:

It makes my face glow and cleared up my acne greatly in only a few days! =D

Cons:

It feels a bit itchy at first and is mildly drying.

It really works. The mild discomfort is worth it, and if you use the moisturizer properly the drying is far less severe.
April 17, 2011

Pros:

Completely cleared my acne
Doesn't leave a residue
Cheap
Dries quickly

Cons:

Drying, but all acne treatments are...
Bleaches clothes and towels

I tried this product and regimen after seemingly all else failed, and it brought my skin from being damaged, bespeckled, incredibly acne prone, blotchy and unhealthy to radiant, absolutely flawless, glowing, youthful and completely without acne. For as long as I get acne, I will never go off the regimen. I highly recommend this.

Pros:

Very effective
Fairly cheap for the benefits it brings.
Prevents new acne / spots forming.

Cons:

Flaky skin
Time-consuming
Bleaches clothes
Might be causing wrinkles. MIGHT.

Dan's BP is a great product. Despite having to pay a lot in shipping charges (due to living outside of US, no fault of acne.org), the value of the product is immense when considering the emotional benefits it brings. I've tried many products in the past that work for a few weeks, and then become ineffective, but this one just gets better over time. Needs patience, stick with it if you try it, you might need a few consistent months to really get the benefits like i did. I bought this BP so i could have the best skin i could have for my graduation day, for photos etc, and i'm so glad I started using it.

Pros:

Works well
Not super expensive
Little goes a long way
Cleared me up!

Cons:

Bleaches colored fabric

I have worked with every kind of acne treatment, except accutane, to clear up my acne. This was the final touch that I really needed. I have been on benzoyl peroxide in the past but it dried out my skin too much, but this stuff does not dry me out and in combonation with tazorac my skin is really clear. It also appears to have cleaned out my t-zone pores and made them look smaller!
