Pros:

- Reduces swelling of spots
- Prevents spots

Cons:

- Darkens skin
- Leaves scars

I have been using Benzoyl Peroxide for a few months and I must say, I have seen some improvements. You JUST use it sonsistantly though! It has reduced the size of my spots which is really good. However, I have noticed that it darkens my skin quite a bit. I think that although it does help acne, it won't clear it in my opinion.

Pros:

Cheap, big, very effective.

Cons:

Harsh, drying, leaves red marks.

I was on the regimen for 4+ yrs ever since i started having acne. It worked like wonder and was very affordable. however, starting of this yr, i started having allergic reaction to BP. My skin became very red, itchy, and irritated after using it for more than 4 yrs. Regimen works like wonder. However, you might become sensitive to BP after long period of time. Be thoughful when using a lot of BP over a long period of time.

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:

-Excellent price
-Very smooth application
-Gel is clear and leaves no residue
-Extremely effective
-Large size of product

Cons:

NONE

This is the best BP I have ever used, period. It doesn't over dry, it doesn't show once applied, it doesn't burn or irritate, and did not make my skin red. The size should be the seller alone, as it is a fraction of the cost of other brand product. Very impressed, easily Dan's best product.

Pros:

Feels great on the skin
Not too harsh
Applied very smoothly

Cons:

None

I've just started the regime, however I can already distinguish the quality of Dans' BP. I use another facial wash and moisturizer because they work for me. But the BP is fantastic and of all the products I've tried, feels the best.

Pros:

This stuff is AMAZING! Not only did it clear my skin, but it clears it fast. In less than two months, my skin has become completely clear, but I started seeing results in just 2 weeks. Its very affordable, and 1 bottle will last for a very long time.

Cons:

for the first 2-3 weeks, there was redness, irritation and peeling. You have to wait a while before it dries completely. if you used this product, I strongly suggest AHA+ and a good moisturizer.

This is the best product I've ever used for my acne. It works great, and it lasts a looong time. Just follow the regimen, and your skin will become acne-free. My skin hadn't been acne-free since grade 4, and I really have to thank Dan for making this product. you wont regret buying this product.

Pros:

none

Cons:

dried up my face, skin turned red, skin peeled off

It made my skin red for 3 days. I could barely make any facial expressions those 3 days because so skin was so dry. I applied moisturizer twice a day which didnt seem to help much. Eventually the skin on my whole face peeled off and now its back to normal. I learned my lesson and i stopped using this treatment.

Pros:

Cheapest 2.5 BP per ounce to be found anywhere. So much better than the white OTC creams.

Cons:

Very slight temporary antiseptic smell...not even enough to not use the product.

I ordered the whole regimine after trying OTC stuff for several weeks in order to get the best price per ounce. This is such a step up from the white cream in the tiny tubes. So far everything is working really well. You will want to invest in white towels and pillow cases and be dressed before you apply BP. That's ANY BP...not just this product.

Pros:

It works - clears skin better than other acne products, e.g., Proactiv, Neutrogena, and keeps skin clear. Less expensive than these products.

Cons:

Dries skin. Discolors the collars on some of my clothing. (My bathrobe is really suffering.)

Highly recommend. Using large quantities of the BP is key to its effectiveness. The packaging and pricing lend themselves to this. My skin cleared up very quickly. After a couple of months of use, even the small bumps under my skin went away. I don't even have the occassional breakout.
