Pros:

First one that WORKED!
Cleared up my acne!
In a HUGE bottle (I still haven't finished my first one yet and it's been 3 months)
Gel-based, not some oily lotion
Controls the oil -- I'm not super oily anymore!
Non-scented, so great for sensitive skin
Easy to apply

Cons:

Doesn't always prevent new ones from forming
Can be drying
Pricey with tax and shipping -- NEEDS COUPONS!

After reading many reviews about many acne products, I finally decided to try this one. I was reluctant to buy it at first, thinking that this would be like everyone other acne product I used -- like Proactiv, which didn't work -- but I decided to "take the risk." After using it for a month, I originally thought that I didn't get so many pimples because it was winter break and I had a good night's rest every night. But now that school has started, my skin is still clear! I do get occasional pimples here and there when I have hormone changes, but I haven't gotten really bad ones like I used to and the ones I get usually clear up in a day or two while using BP. The KEY is not only applying BP, but also taking care of your body. Drinking water, eating healthy, exercising are also ways to promote healthy skin. Take care of your body from the inside out. ALWAYS wear a moisture after the BP because the gel does dry. I use Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel at night, and Aveeno's Positively Radiant Moisturizer with SPF 15 during the day. If you've never tried BP before, start on a small spot for a week and see how your skin adjusts. Because even if your skin reacts unwantedly, it'll only be once spot instead of your whole face. Everyone's skin reacts differently to products, so get to know your skin. I hope this helps.

Pros:

Clears Acne
Powerful
Goes on Clear

Cons:

Really dried out skin at first
The price after shipping and tax can get pricey!

I tried a lot of acne products including Proactiv, Retin-A, Neutrogena On the Spot Treatment, Doxcycline and SMZ/TMP pills, etc. and this product has worked the best for me. Proactiv was one of the first products I used that contained benzoyl peroxide and it dried me out and caused my skin to itch, a lot. I guess I wasn't used to BP then. Neutrogena On the Spot Treatment worked well but there were still recurring pimples, maybe because it was harder to spread the product around on the face. Retin-A wasn't the miracle I hoped for since I was still breaking out, quite a bit. And, finally, I landed upon this product, which has helped me clear up a lot. I'm slowly, but surely becoming more and more comfortable with how my skin looks and it's thanks to this product!

Pros:

-Clears acne pretty fast
-Drys pretty fast
-leaves no residue

Cons:

-Dries out skin a lot
-Causes some redness initially
-2 months in and my face has yet to not flake (even with lots of moisturizer and AHA +)

As long as you use it twice a day, following with a moisturizer afterwards and not skipping it should clear all your pimples.

Pros:

It actually works!

Cons:

It took a long time for my skin to get used to it, and my skin is still quite dry. But it's sooo worth it.

This is the treatment that has worked for me for more than a few days, after my 15 years+ search for a treamtent that works. I've used it for about four months, and my face is still improving. I use this with the AHA . I'll be sticking with this forever.

Pros:

Clears acne

Didnt break me out

Cons:

stings
drys skin alot

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.

I bought this to get rid of a few small occasional pimples. I figured this product would do a great job since this product has great reviews and the guy who runs the website made it. However, this crap gave me horrible, painful cystic acne. I stopped using it and my acne went away, but I still have marks from this crap. Just sayin.

Pros:

-Keeps skin clear
-easy to use
-comes in large bottle
-feels great and really works

Cons:

wish it was cheaper!

At the beginning your skin will react to the product making your skin dry and begin to peel. It takes at least 2weeks or more for you to see clearer skin. YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE REGIMEN STEP BY STEP. I have been using Dan's regimen for 2years now and love his products. My skin has never felt better and i love putting makeup on it. I do get the occasional blemish but it goes away fast and doesn't bother me like before. I follow the regimen exactly the way Dan suggest and my skin just keeps getting better each time. You must be consistant with his products to see the actual results. Good Luck!

Pros:

Very effective over time
Invisible after rubbing in
Reasonable cost

Cons:

Skin peeling

This stuff is amazing. For the last ten years (since my early teens) I've tried tons of medications, from generic to prescription, and the only thing that beats the Acne.org treatment in my book is Accutane. And since the former is cheaper, easier to obtain, and doesn't cause joint pain / suicidal depression / incurable colon disorders, I know which one I'd recommend. Acnefree and Proactiv started out promising, but within a month the acne came back with a vengeance, and neither medication seemed to put a dent in it afterward. In contrast, the Acne.org treatment seemed ineffective at first, but as the months went by my pimples got smaller and less frequent, until they nearly disappeared. There are still a few stubborn holdouts, but their small size makes them easily manageable, and they too seem to be fading. Even though a decade of near continuous mild/moderate acne has left my face a little scarred, it hasn't looked this clear since elementary school. I use a little less than the dosage that Daniel Kern recommends in his videos, and it seems to work just as well as larger amounts do. Even so, it dries out my skin badly; at first I thought I could get away with skipping moisturizer, but it didn't take me long to reconsider. Four or five months in, I tried dropping the medication entirely, to see how long it'd take for the pimples to come back. As it turns out, two days. Well played, Dan. Here's a glowing review, on top of the wads of cash you're going to end up taking from me.
