Pros:

Works great! Love how it goes on. Very affordable and great customer service.

Cons:

None that I can think of

I had moderate acne and this really helped. BP works great on my asian skin. I've finally taken the time to make sure the gel sinks in and it's worth it. Now I just have to find a moisturizer that will work and kill the shine. But this BP is the best!

Pros:

The smell is nice, more moisturizing then on-the-spot

Cons:

balls up with my moisturizer, stings like all h@#%! takes for freakin ever to massage in skin

I'm brown skin and ive been using on the spot for 5 and a half weeks. The one-the-spot got rid of most of my acne but left rough patches and dried out my skin! I switched to this and i've been using it for 3 days. So far so good. It got rid of the rest of my acne that the on-the-spt left. I like the fact that it glides on smooth unlike the other crap. And it doesn't dry my skin too bad. I didnt notice any hyperpigmentation like others. The reason why some people may be experiencing this is because the BP does drie your skin and if you're a person of color your skin will look ashy so moisturize and buy the AHA+.

Pros:

Worked somewhat to remove whiteheads mostly.

Cons:

It really made my skin dry and red. I had to stop doing it twice a day and just do it at night, because applying it before you go out for the day is a ridiculous task. The moisturizer burns, and the layers are very thick.

This product got me all excited but ultimately disappointed. The irritation was enough to make me stop because my skin was bright red and dry. The stuff rubs off during the day also, in white rolls. And, it will bleach clothes and washcloths. The moisturizer really burns so much that i would put a fan up to my face to stop the burning sensation. This product didn't work well enough for me to endure the irritation it brought to my skin. The cleaner is very gentle and nice though, so i do recommend that.

Pros:

Worked to get rid of some acne, didn't dry out my skin too badly.

Cons:

1.The BP couldn't keep up with the acne, it would get rid of 1, and 2 new ones would pop up
2. I developed Hyperpigmentation because of the BP, that has destroyed my self-esteem.
3. Makes everything smell bad if you use it at night.

BP is not great to use in the long term. The benefits are not worth the risks 1. It can promote tumors 2. Causes sun senstivity (can lead to skin cancer) 3. Causes hyperpigmentation in some people (like me) 4. Slows down the healing of acne scars 5. Smells bad, (not a problem if you use a moisturizer over it) 6. May dry your skin out. Benzoyl peroxide works by releasing free radicals (oxygen) into your skin, penetrating deep into the pores killing P. acne, that can not survive in the presence of oxygen (anaerobic bacteria). The free radicals however, are proven to be carsogenic. Use this product with caution and definetly not for a long term solution for acne.

Really there is none.

The best stuff on the market, be sure to pick some stuff up.

Pros:

goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly, non fragrance, works, cheap

Cons:

none

Firstly, BP dries peoples' skins. So people, stop complaining. That's the nature of BP. Anyway, glad that I got that off my chest. I've used several brand named BP and they were gritty and watery and they weren't cheap. Once I started using this, I tell you, I will not want to go back using other brands. Once I applied this stuff on my face, is heavenly smooth. I am telling you, for the quality this stuff should cost a lot more. I am very happy I ended up trying Dan's BP.

Pros:

Works great!! Goes on clear, no fragrance. You get a lot for the price.

Cons:

Nothing really.

I've been using Dan's BP treatment since when he first started with the blue tubes. I had severe acne during high school and calmed down a bit after taking Accutane. Dan's BP was the only thing that made my face completely clear. I tried Murad and Proactiv and those didn't help my skin at all, I was still breaking out. You will have to put it on twice a day if you want to maintain a clear face because sometimes I miss a few days and I start breaking out again. It doesn't dry my face, maybe because I have oily skin. I don't usually put on a moisturizer either. One last thing, for those of you who converted from tube to bottle like me, I didn't see much difference between the two. The bottle was fine dispensing the BP, I pretty much had the same control as the tube.

Pros:

Very effective even at just 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. I think the gel formula is absorbed much more into the skin than a thick cream you find at a store.

Cons:

Very slight dryness and flakes but easily controlled by moisturizer.

I've lived with moderate acne since my teens and tried many prescription and non-prescription drugs. This is the best I've found - highly effective with the least side effects of any drug I've tried.

Pros:

It spreads easily and penetrates rather well into the skin.

Cons:

It was drying to the face, even though it has 2.5% strength benzoyl peroxide in it. Also, I did get a level of itchiness to my face with this product as well. It does some level of acne control, just not the best.

This product is one that I thought would have worked better than it did. But, I really didn't find it to be really any different than any of the off-the-shelf acne products that you can readily find in the stores. It does provide some level of help to acne prone skin, however I do feel that there are better products out there on the to be used for acne than this one.

Pros:

It does work quite well.
Large quantity
after 4 months, acne is almost completely under control.

Cons:

Caused me really severe initial break out, extremely drying for my sensitive/combination skin in the beginning, leaves red marks. Packaging needs improvements

Started the regiment in Nov., about 1.5 week in, had one of the worst break ever, big red cystic acne all over cheeks and chin, many reviews stated purging in the beginning, so i decided to stick with it. Skin was extremely dried out and flaking, the moisturizer in kit wasn't effective for me, tried it w/ jojoba oil, caused more breakout. At the time i switched to Clinique moisture surge, skin was still dry but flaking was under control. Seeing improvements about 2 months in, the initial breakout healed & left red marks, still got about 5-6 pimples here and there. Then used AHA at night with BP, alil improvements but still dry and feels rough compare to before. Skin look aging and dehydrated. Now use BP & Olay moisturizer at day only,Bliss groovy peel & toner at nite (skin softened alot!) along with thermaclear to stop any potential pimple. My skin was clear for 2wks, now have 2 pimples(due to my diet), Everyone's skin is diff, hope my review will help s
