Pros:

Works a lot better than other products

Cons:

Drying, expensive (with shipping), the whole regimen takes a good half hour out of my morning and evening, skin still very oily and not 100% clear

I've been on Dan's Regimen for almost a year now and I have to say it's the best thing i've used...and I've used everything besides accutane. It took a few months to start seeing results, you just have to wait it out. Also, my acne still isn't 100% clear, I still get breakouts here and there but they're much smaller and less frequent than before. At first, the BP was incredibly drying, even when using jojoba oil mixed in with my moisturizer. I finally found people on here using jojoba oil in between washing face and BP as kind of a exfoliation massage and, boy, it works wonders! Also, i've been experiencing more frequent breakouts on my forehead, a place where I never really got acne before the regimen. Not sure how to fix that. The only big downside is that the regimen takes a lot longer than i'd like (about 30 mins in the AM, 30 in PM), but you have to do what you have to do!

Pros:

Since it's a gel, it doesn't dry too fast like a cream. It never leaves residue like other BP products. It's not gritty (thank goodness, like Zapzit). It's cheap, the ingredients are phenomenal. It doesn't smel; there's no fragrance, which is great for sensitive skin. Maybe it's because I've tried so many other products that the BP never dried up my skin like it's expected to, which is great!

Cons:

Nothing really, except that it takes a few minutes to apply and have it dry. So make sure that you wake up a few minutes earlier because it takes a bit of time if you are following Dan's method. My moisturizer would ball up if I didn't let this dry, which is inevitable to all of us if aren't following Dan's method.

I absolutely can't live without this item anymore. I've tried so many things and I am surprised! I would buy this for the rest of my life. I wish that I had purchased this sooner.

Pros:

cleared existing acne and prevented new acne from developing.
dries clear.
did not experience any flakiness, just mild redness.

Cons:

wish it was readily available at the store.

works great for clearing up acne. i have used it for a little over a week and the difference is amazing. since starting the regimen, i have not had a new pimple form and my old ones have dried up and just the he annoying red marks are left- nothing that a little concealer won't help. try the product.

Pros:

Dries up any existing breakouts and stops new ones breaking out!
Invisible gel. Easily absorbed. No animal testing or animal products.

Cons:

A light medication smell but nothing horrendous.
As expected, as covered in the acne.org FAQs, took a few weeks for me for my skin to get used to it (was quite red at first) but it was worth sticking with it.

I stopped taking minocycline as I'd had enough of taking drugs and was looking for an alternative and found acne.org. Now I no longer have to take drugs! It works! Give it time and make sure you follow all the instructions on acne.org and read all the FAQs.

Pros:

Good quantity

Cons:

Dries out
Shipping Cost
Didn't work for me

After reading all the good eviews, I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, this product was over drying my face and I received no result within 3 months. I now have a very very dry skin with as many as pimples as before. I happy to see that it worked for other people but in my own case, it didn't.

Pros:

COMPLETELY CLEARED MY ACNE IN ONE WEEK
The best benzoyl peroxide out there.
Works fast..atleast for me it did.
Inexpensive.

Cons:

Flakes galore.
Very drying .
Takes about 10 minutes to dry.

I used proactive about three years ago. It worked well for my skin and I rarely had a zit while I was on it. A few months ago, I tried the "new proactiv" which wrecked my skin. I went to the dermatologist who put me on minocycline and differin. The antibiotic helped, but I still wasn't 100% clear. On the verge of tears, I discovered this site and I am so glad I did! I've only been using dans BP for a week and my skin is so clear. Yes it is drying, but supposedly this goes away after a few weeks and I would rather have dry skin (and I mean DRY skin) than broken out skin. Thanks Dan!! :))

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.

Pros:

-Goes on clear
-thin consistency
-no residue

Cons:

NONE

LOVE this benzol gel. The only 2%gel that you can buy at the store is AcneFree Terminator sensitive. Dan's benzol is SOOOOO much better. I was using Acnefree benzol until i got Dan's kit in the mail. Let me tell you, I can see and feel the difference! Dan's Benzol goes on so smooth and is less harsh than AcneFree benzol (which has alchohol=drying). I'm so excited I bought this!!

Pros:

Mostly cleared skin for first 2 months. Easy to apply, dries quickly. Inexpensive.

Cons:

After experiencing initial clearing, my skin started breaking out again. Would get about one large one on my chin or above my lips per week that would take 1-2 weeks to heal while leaving red marks that lasted a few months. Never before had I dealt with such large pimples and the red marks that came along with them.

It is worth a try. Prior to trying the acne.org regimen I had been on prescription Differin and Benzaclin for about 6 years (I'm 23 yrs old.) I started breaking out again after college and wanted to give the regimen a shot. While it didn't work for me as well as I had hoped, I think it can be effective for individuals with light acne and even if you're acne is moderate it may be the solution for you. Now I am back on prescriptions from my dermatologist and my skin is looking much better.
