Pros:

- Very light
- Doesn't smell bad like other BP brands
- Goes on smoothly
- It prevents break outs

Cons:

- Doesn't remove pimples quickly (dries them out only)
- Leaves red marks
- Takes a long time to work effectively

This is a great product, the key is PATIENCE, PATIENCE, and yes more PATIENCE. Give it time and it will work for most people. Follow Dan's instructions by spreading gently and 2 full pumps after using the regimen for awhile and you will be clear eventually. One big downfall is it leaves existing acne and turns them into red marks.

- Leaves no residue
- Minimal irritation
- Shipped quickly
- GREAT value

Cons:

- None

LOVE this product. I couldn't believe how much I got for $16. 8 oz. for $16, when in a drugstore the Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment is $9 for a 0.75 oz tube. Great deal, love it, couldn't ask for a better product.

Pros:

Clears up acne better than anything I have ever used
Goes on easily and absorbs well

Cons:

Can leave face red/tan, especially if you use a lot
seems to cause more hyper-pigmentation for me

This cleared up my acne very well, but leaves my face tan/red if I use a lot.

Pros:

Completely eliminated large cysts.
Dramatically decreased redness.
Went from a face full of blemishes to almost completely clear.
Works better than prescriptions I tried.

Cons:

Does not do anything for acne marks, but I never expected it to.
Will make your skin dry and flaky if not used to BP.

Unhappy with everything else including prescriptions, facial cleansers, chemical peels, and going au natural, I desperately tried the full regimen and vowed to wait a few months before I could review it honestly. Let me tell you I am completely suprised and happy to report a positive review! I had used Benzyl Peroxide before with a dermatlogist but never had results like this. I have never had this type of improvement with ANY presciption regimes my dermatologist had me on! Upon beginning the full regime, my face instantly got less red and I could see dramatic improvement in blemishes, getting clearer everyday. After maybe a month, some new blemishes began to appear but thankfully acne.org warns that this is normal and simply purging, so I continued and I am definitely glad I did! It's now been about four months and my face is practically clear. It completely eliminated huge cysts and reallly minimized the amount of breakouts and redness. Now it won't do anything for post-acne marks, but it really controlled my face like nothing I have tried before. To go from my almost SEVERE type acne to only, literally, a couple of pimples is completely amazing!! I do the complete regimen at night and in the mornings only wash my face with a simple sulfur/salcylic acid soap (and sometimes some moisturizing like Aloe Vera). I have started to apply the regimen to my chest and it has cleared that up too. If your face is not used to benzyl peroxide, you will get dry and peel, but that is why moisturizers exist. You will probably get an increase in blemishes about 2-4 weeks in, but don't give up! If you have light/moderate acne, I really have a hard time seeing how this could not completely clear your face entirely. If you have moderate to severe like I do, it should either clear up your face enirely or at least maintain it very well. Of course everyone's body is different, but I HIGHLY recommend the acne.org regimen to at least try.

Pros:

It works better than other products with Benzoyl Peroxide (even 10%)

Cons:

None

I am totally speechless about how this product has cured my acne in such a small period of time. The interesting fact is that I used to use drugstore products that had 10% of Benzoyl in them and none worked as well for me. I use this every night and wait till it is completely absorbed. Then I use my AHA from Acne. Org. The combination is a miracle in that my skin has got completely flawless. Even my old acne scars are gone for good. Highly recommended.

Was diligent about the regimen, but this actually GAVE me acne on my jawline b/c of drying. Never had jawline acne until using this product and now I can't get rid of it. Moisturized heavily using jojoba oil, which is great, but beware.

Pros:

gentlest BP I've ever used.

Cons:

created cysts
made face break out worse

Well...I have been using this product for 4 months, and have been following the regimen to a T. Gentle, waiting between applications, etc.. The only positive I can come away with is the ease of applying a gel BP. Very smooth. I only really broke out in my chin area, so I started only applying there. It never made my acne better. Just consistently stayed the same, and there were new breakouts everyday. I have little flesh colored bumps on my forehead so about 4 weeks in I started applying the BP there as well hoping to get rid of them. Oh boy. I never break out on my forehead. Massive eruption. Everything from whiteheads, to red bumps, cysts, blackheads, you name it, my forehead's got it. And now both of my temples have these strange cysts, they are not painful, just about 5 huuuge bumps. I can deal with the flakiness, but the texture of my skin is horrendous. My pores look huge and I just kind of look aged. Ugh. I really wanted this regimen to work and I do believe Dan is a great guy for sharing his success with the world. I have no doubt that this works for alot of people, just look at the logs. I suppose this just wasn't meant for me. Le sigh. :/

Pros:

The best benzoyl peroxide gel I have ever used.

Cons:

None.

At night, I cleanse with one pump of Serious Skin Care's Daily Ritual Cleanser, massage gently for one minute, rinse, pat dry and gently apply one pump of Dan's 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. In the morning I again cleanse with the Daily Ritual Cleanser, rinse, pat dry and apply Seban Liquid (for oil control) by Copperlabs gently with a cottonball. I am now 40 years old and in the past I have tried everything to clear my skin and control my extremely oily skin. I have been doing this skincare routine for 2 years now and my skin is still clear, eventoned and oil free. Thank you Dan for your benzoyl peroxide. It really is the most gentle and effective benzoyl peroxide I have ever used. I won't use anything else!

Pros:

Works!
Non-scented, didn't cause redness or peeling

Cons:

Bleached my pillows

I had horrible hormonal acne after going off the Pill that was made much worse by Carley's treatment. I bought this in desperation and without much hope but it worked beautifully. Within a week my skin calmed down and after about six or eight weeks, all the active acne was gone. Initially I used it every night after washing my face with a mild cleanser - now I use it about twice a week because I rarely have active pimples. If I feel a breakout coming on, I start using it nightly again. It works on everything, whiteheads, blackheads, red pimples and cysts. Really really amazing product! I'm thinking of giving the Acne.org Glycolic Acid a try to see if it can clear up the left-over red marks. My advice to ladies to who are planning to go off birth control is to start using this about a month or two BEFORE you quit the Pill. According to my dermatologist, BP works best as an acne prevention measure. Wish I'd known that before.
