Pros:

Is good at helping get rid of acne, helps stop new zits coming

Cons:

far from a miracle product, causes a lot of skin dryness and flaking of the skin

If BP helped got rid of red marks then this would be the ultimate treatment. it doesn't however, and people say that it makes red marks linger for longer as it releases free radicals on the skin. Red marks are very irritating too but not as bad as acne so This is a pretty good product. I use to use alot of it day and night now just at night time. It does discolour pillow cases and things btw and the most annoying part is your skin looks sort of worn out and aged from it as well as the really bad flakiness it causes. I can't even get rid of the flakiness with a moisturiser. Overall I give 2.5 % bp a 3.5 out of 5.

Pros:

*great price
*clears acne
*leaves no white residue

Cons:

*dries out skin

If you are suffering from acne, you owe it to yourself to really give the regimen an honest try. I had written off bp as something that didn't work for my acne until I came across this website during a serious bout of acne. I have faithfully followed the regimen for the past 3 months and it has drastically reduced the severity of my acne. This product is of high quality and for a very reasonable cost when you consider how long it lasts. I'm still on my first bottle! But, as with any bp product, it will dry your skin. I have sensitive combo skin that is oily in the T-zone. Even though I am in my 4th month of the regimen, I am still not to a full pump of bp! I have had to go very slow in increasing the bp or else my skin gets extremely dry and irritated. Make sure to use a very good moisturizer!

Pros:

First thing I've ever tries that actually works!
I only use around my mouth and nose and the 8oz treatment lasts for a year, so even with international shipping it's really good value!
Really great, I love it!

Cons:

You need to be careful with clothes, bedding and towels as it can bleach some of them, so I only use white towels and pillows and don't have a problem.
When I first started using it it made my skin red and dry despite moisturising.

I've always had spots appear around my mouth and nose, and even though I didn't have really bad acne because of being a pasty skinned Scottish girl they would show for ages while they healed as wee purple marks, and sometimes they'd be sore swollen lumps and as I'm sure everyone who suffers with this does I hated them. I tried Clearasil, Oxy, Neutragena and other regimens but nothing made any difference, then I found this on the web and it's amazing. At the start I was using it twice a day and it made my skin red even after 3 months so I cut down to once a day (at night) and that seems to be enough for me. I use Eucerin moisturiser which works great with it, I haven't tried Dan's one, I don't think he had one when I first bought this, I've been using it for about 3 years. :) My fiance had a strange red pimply spreading rash on his cheek that spread to his forehead over 6 months, he used this and it was gone in a month, he stopped using it after that and it hasn't come back.

Pros:

This is the only acne treatment product I've ever found that actually works but doesn't make my skin get red and flaky. I use it every night with the rest of the regimen and I have consistently clear. It has helped with blackheads as well as acne.

Cons:

At first there can be some slight irritation, but if you keep using it every day it will go away in about a week. Much less irritation than most other effective products.

I highly recommend this. It is not too weak and not too strong, so you can use it consistently. My friends keep saying how great my skin looks now. Get it and use it everyday.

Pros:

-Cleared up my skin fast.
-Doesn't leave any residue.
-Easy to use pump.

Cons:

-Dried out skin a lot when I first started using it.
-The smell isn't nice.
-Kind of embarrassed it says "Acne.org" on the bottle.

This product started working to clear up my skin immediately when I started using it. I saw results in days. The only downside was that my skin got very dry as I moved up to the two full pumps twice a day that the regimen suggests. I started using the AHA+ from this site nightly and I reduced the amount of this product to one pump twice a day, and it got rid of the dryness. This product and the AHA+ pretty much saved my face. Thank you Dan!

Pros:

BEST BP I've ever used, hands down

Cons:

well, I gave the packaging a 4/5, because of the whole ACNE.ORG thing, it just bugs me, I think it would be much nicer if it said D.K.R or DKR or something like that.

This is the best BP I've used. It does make me red like any other BP, but I used the acne.org moisturizer to take care of that (it much have a nice calming agent in it to take redness out even when my face isn't dry or irritable to begin with). I really think the fact that this is pharmeceutical grade and finely milled makes all the difference, it gets deeper down into the pores. Since starting this product, I have not had one breakout, and it's already been about 5 days. Yes, I'm expecting one eventually, it's normal since I'm just starting the regimen, but just surprised I haven't had one already, this stuff is really working!

Pros:

does a good job of clearing acne. you have to stick to the regiment!!!!

Cons:

dries face out, and turns face red (some of this has subbsided but still a little dry and red)

Well im very glad I gave this a try. I have been using the stuff for about a mounth and out of the regime the bp gel is the best. When I started I did not follow the regime perfectly, I tried to use too much bp to fast. If you do this no matter how resilant you think your skin is, you will regret it and become red and dry out. So I was forced to drop the bp amount to a much small amount. Only now am I on the full amount of bp and I am starting to clear up. It is certainly worth a try, and hopfully my redness will continue to subside. Also I have hade troubles finding a mosturizers Dans makes my face red. I tried aloe gel but does not work that well. GOOD LUCK

Pros:

first thing i noticed was that the redness had gone away. then moderate acne shrunk to minimal. about a month into it no acne. have kept it up for 10 weeks now and have had only 4 blemishes. these heal within a couple days of coming out.

Cons:

a little drying at first, for me. i have very oily skin though.

try it! try it! try it! especially if you have oily skin. it seems to control oil too the longer i use it. i would absolutely recommend this (and the regimen) to anyone. if/when my kids happen to get acne i would not hesitate to get this for them.

Pros:

It's fast absorbing and doesn't sting or overly drying and definetly way better of a texture than most BP gel.

Cons:

I have none.

I just started using it recently and already my annoying pimples are stop dead in their tracks. They'e going away AND my skin isn't like sandpaper. I bought the whole system because I perfer products to be made by the SAME company.
