Pros:

I used this product for about a year, and it worked well. Not only did it keep my skin clear, it actually kept it from being so oily all the time (but not dry either). My skin also adapted very quickly to the routine.

Cons:

After a year of using it, I have developed an allergy to this product, and had to stop using it.

Definitely worth trying!!!

Pros:

Great consistency, quality, cost effectiveness, and results. Dan's BP is the best BP on the market, in my opinion.

Cons:

The only drawback I can even come up with is being limited to buying the product online, and having to pay shipping. Shipping to my location (FL) is nearly half the cost of the item itself. As for the product itself, I don't think there are any cons.

I've had moderate acne for years, 13 to be exact. Unlike most, however, I haven't used anything for it other than SA or BP. I'd resorted to spot treating with 10% BP and hoping for the best. Obviously, that really never worked. I came across this site about 3 years ago and ordered the BP, followed the regimen, and my skin was perfectly clear within 3 weeks, for the first time in my life. I've used Dan's BP every day since then, and found that by applying it morning and night, I don't have to use the super thick layer like I did at first, but my skin still responds to it just as well. I still do have breakouts around my cycle, but they are nowhere near as severe as they were without this BP, and I enjoy clear skin the rest of the time. I do wear makeup, but I have found that by applying it under my makeup, it helps keeps my skin clear. For any of you ladies wearing makeup, give it a try. I also use Dan's moisturizer and jojoba oil, mixed, for moisturization, and the cleanser. Perfect!

Pros:

A bit of work to do the regimen and took a while for results - but am now so happy I stuck it out, has worked wonders and I think the BP is the main reason! Switched to this from a drug store brand and it is far superior - seems more pure for sure.

Cons:

Of course, have to work your way up, and yeah some nights it is a pain in the butt and my boyfriend thought I was crazy taking forever to rub this in and not letting him touch me for fear of bleaching his clothes. Annoying, but worth it.

Sometimes I do just want to skip my BP because its a messy, time-consuming endeavour but then I remember how vastly improved my skin has been lately! I go to work most days with no makeup, something I wouldn't have even considered for running to the corner store a few months ago. My skin is also just so much smoother which makes it easier when I do want to apply my mineral makeup. The smell of Dan's BP is a little medicinal - but honestly I like that because I know its a really high grade and will be pure on my skin. The consistency is fairly runny but you will get used to it and find it helpful once you're piling on globs of the stuff. I only bought the 8oz. size (old pump version) and it has lasted me close to 3 months while I was trying it out - will definitely invest in the huge size now! (Although I wish there wasn't the big ACNE label on it!) Bottom Line - thanks Dan and everyone with advice on this site!

Pros:

Light, spreads easily, not super drying, actually works against my horribly picky acne :)

Cons:

None, in terms of effects. Some may find its medication scent a little uncomfortable, but it's really nothing!

It works. That summarizes how great this product is :) I've had irregular acne for 9 years now and I've tried everything - from cheap to expensive, chemical to organic! Nothing works like this. Follow the regimen. SERIOUSLY

Pros:

reduces acne by making it go away faster, helps prevent some new pimples from coming up

Cons:

made my pores larger and slowed the healing time of acne scars (I have asian skin; hyperpigmentation is inevitable for me). didn't prevent/help lessen hormonal breakouts. felt very heavy on my skin. did not absorb well into skin. dependent on it.

During initial two weeks, my skin was very red, chapped, and dry. It was a little embarrassing, but I persevered. My skin did improve after a few weeks, but the regimen did little to prevent my hormonal acne. Prior to using BP, my skin healed relatively quickly (2 weeks after pimple, scar would be gone) and acne scars were not a major issue. However, after starting BP, my skin healed much much slower (now scars remain from a month ago). Application of the regimen was unpleasant as well; the BP and cetaphil moisturizer felt very heavy&dirty on my skin. I read an article and did some research online about whether long term use of BP is bad for the skin, and I discovered that it is. After that, i stopped using BP altogether. As some forum members also mentioned, my skin grew dependent on BP so after I stopped, my skin got progressively worse. Do NOT use this! Puts you in a kind of loose-loose situation :/

Pros:

Really helps for people with minor to moderately severe acne. Having only 2.5% BP really helps, and doesn't dry skin as badly as the now standard 10% BP.

Cons:

Maybe mix the lotion with it, maybe not, I don't know.

I've used this product for 2 years and haven't developed the slightest semblance of a tolerance to it. It continues to do the job I expect it to. Just plain, simple 2.5% BP; it lasts a long time and gets the job done. Oh, and no annoying scent.

Pros:

I've used this product for a couple years now and I have never gone back to anything else. Treats acne fairly quickly. Doesn't dry skin out too much. I know I can count on this product whenever I encounter a minor breakout. No scent what so ever.

Cons:

This product is slightly overpriced compared to when I first started buying it. The design of the bottle could use a little work but then again I'm not purchasing it for the bottle's design.

I've recommended the "Treatment" to several family members who have acne problems. I swear by this stuff and never plan on changing my current skin regimen. I am looking forward to trying other products from Acne.org!!!

Pros:

Works at preventing zits from showing up, even those that typically come at a certain time of month
Unscented so I like that
Easy to dispense from bottle

Cons:

Sometimes I feel a mild burning/tingling on the skin

This product works and is a great value for the amount of BP that you get in the bottle. I only use this in the evenings so this should last me a really long time. I used to purchase the BP that came in a tube so that's why I noticed that this formula tends to burn/tingle the skin. When I first used it, it actually made my eyes water (no, the product was not in or around my eyes) but I'm just more careful now to apply less around the eye area. Overall, this product is keeping my skin happier than it was before and keeping blemishes under control (unless I've been picking).

Pros:

Heals and Prevents Acne!!!!!

Cons:

I would probally have to say the shipping costs are pretty high.

READ!! I have been suffering from acne for about 7 years. Absolutely nothing I was using worked. Seriously I tried almost everything! I read the reviews of this product and i still was quite skeptical. I finaaly tried it. Man!! I didnt see a difference for the first couple of days but about 2 weeks later i literally had no pimple!!!! Before I had this product my acne was very severe. Embarrasing. What I did. My Regimen !. Wet your face with warm water 2. Apply the cleanser exactly how dan does it in the videos. 3. Let dry 4. Apply BP just enough to cover the face 5. Let dry.

Pros:

Works well! dosen't cause irritation, not that drying compared to others iv tried, shipping was incredibly fast! (i paid the cheapest one and it said it would take up to 3 weeks to arrive but arrived in jsut 4 days! )

Cons:

the pump on the bottle dosen't always work that well

I've been using this stuff for about 3 weeks and the acne on my forehead has almost totally cleared, my skin is the smoothest/clearest its been in years. I had moderate acne before with atleast 20 red bunps/pimples/large bumps at anyone time and now i only have one pimple, and some left over red marks.
