Pros:

Definitely works, and gets rid of acne and keeps it from coming back.

Cons:

Still leaves me with tons of white and black heads.
You break out if you stop using it.
Way too expensive with shipping costs and all. Yes its worth it, but i really wish they could make shipping cost more reasonable.

I started using this about a year ago, after trying every other choice I had. Clearasil, neutrogena, etc etc etc. I even at once got some prescription face wash and cream, which dried my skin to the point where it was peeling off, yes looked horrible. Started using this, first couple weeks it sucked but then I started seeing results. And it really cleared my skin, no acne except little stubborn ones here and there. I still do seem to get alot of white and black heads. Thats the only thing that bothers me.

Pros:

Works well, my mild acne problem has been under control since I started the application. My skin is much smoother and I am becoming better looking over time and the red marks are fading away extremely slowly, a million thanks to Dan.

Cons:

My skin was very red, dry and itchy in the first week or so. I Still have some stubborn occassional pimples that go away quicker than before. Last months I have had about 5 pimples here and there.

The price is great. I only paid about $12 shipping included for the small 2oz. bottom (even cheaper than the local store) which has already lasted for over 2 months and it is still going stong. In the meantime, I have also purchased the 8oz. bottle that might last for 1 year I guess. However, I am not following the regimen strictly that I only apply the BP at night and nothing else. I find that more convenient and cost-efficient. I hope my acne can and will eventually be grown out of as I age into mid 20s like my mum. I will return here to update my progress after another couple of months. I wish I had got this option many many years ago so I wouldn't have the minor scar problem that I have now.

Pros:

It works!!! Dries clear, easy to use, large quantity tube is excellent

Cons:

Dries skin a bit, as already noted, but really no cons to this product

I have tried EVERYTHING for acne. I mean everything. Apple Cider Vinegar, antibiotics, natural cures, Proactiv, Accutane (yes, Accutane) blah, blah, blah. This is the ONLY product that I have found, if used liberally as directed, that keeps my acne away! I love sleeping with my head on my boyfriend's shoulder, which normally gives me extreme acne on my cheek. I slather this stuff on before bed, follow with moisturizer, and my acne hasn't come back for weeks! I love it! Highly recommended. The best regimen is this stuff, twice a day followed by any decent oil-free moisturizer; then use the Proactiv masque every other day (don't bother with the rest of their regimen, it doesn't work long term), which absolutely evens the tone of your skin excellently. I've had acne for over 15 years and this is the best combination of products I've ever found. Thank you Daniel Kern!

Pros:

After about 3 weeks, my SEVERE acne is under control. There is no "soapy" smell that so many other BP products have. My makeup goes on nicely after product is dry. I noticed an improvement within 2 days.

Cons:

My skin was very dry and tight feeling for the first two weeks. It's a small price to pay while your face is adjusting to the treatment and well worth it for the results! And I no longer have problems with dryness 3 weeks into the program.

I have tried oral prescription medications, Mary Kay, Proactiv, Retin-A, and many prescription acne treatments...all with poor results. I am so thankful for the information on this site and for the 2.5% BP, which is SO affordable and such high quality. I had nice skin until I gave birth to my first child, and have struggled with painful cystic acne and literally hundreds of those awful bumps that are embedded under the skin but never come to a head and look so terrible. My skin has never looking better since giving birth. If you are an adult struggling with acne and wondering if this product could work for you, give it a try. Many people commented that the cleanser was too drying, so I decided to use over-the-counter Cetaphil cleanser, which is so mild and non-drying. I use the Acne.org BP, and the Acne.org moisturizer. I am getting great results! I highly recommend these products.

Pros:

Cost, smell, consistancy, all of the above are great!!

Cons:

None that I have found so far. Only used for a week now.

I love this product!!! I ordered the 16oz bottle the day that I found this website. I knew I had a tube of the Neutrogena On the Spot Treatment at home and used this product until Dan's Treatment came in the mail. What a difference between the two products! Neutrogena gave me bad flakes when used with my moisturizer. And I felt like it was more drying on my skin. But Dan's Treatment does not do that at all. I have only been doing The Regimen for a week, but I already see results. Even my husband says he has noticed. I use the Purpose Liquid Face Wash (couldn't find the bar, very popular I guess. I went to two different Target locations and both of them were out of stock of the bar)and the Purpose Moisturizer as well. My face does have some dry spots, but I am just waiting for my skin to adjust to this program. Well worth it for the clear skin that I am seeing. Recommended to all. Dan's Treatment is worth every penny!!!

Pros:

Price, size, presentation, it does work. The dispenser is a super big plus.

Cons:

My face is tighter or drier now, so I have to use moisturizer ABH (Alpha Beta Hydroxy) Oil Free Moisturizer from Beyond Belief (Sally Beauty Supply), with Proactive I did not.

If this product had more moisturizer in its components would be per

As many others, I found this website on a search looking for a comparable option to Proactiv, which I have using for around 6 years now. It does work, but I am tired of paying their high price. I thought I should be able to find something much cheaper and I did find some, nevertheless, not with the right combination of 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide, but higher and this would definitely be too strong for me. I tried the Acne Free treatment, but I did not like the texture of consistency of it, kind of sandy. I was very concerned about the comments I read on this website mentioning that Dan's treatment would take long time to dry, but to my surprise it has a very good consistency or texture and it dries fast. I imagined a transparent and thick gel like Aloe Vera type, but it looks just like a cream, not a gel. Very good presentation, and lovely and ideal dispenser, it definitely beats Proactiv on this part.

Pros:

Worked immediately! Whiteheads on my forehead disappeared and acne subsided. BP goes on clear, no fragrance.

Cons:

Made my skin super scaly, dry and red no matter how much moisturizer I used. Followed routine to a tee. Redness and scaly-ness did not subside.

It's a great product if it weren't for the dry/red side effects. It made my skin wrinkly as well despite moisturizing all day long. I dropped the routine after 5 weeks and was also worried about the health effects of the large amount of BP I had to use. I switched to another product called Capisderm face wash (organic) after reading a few reviews on this website. My skin is glowing and normal looking now and I have no acne whatsoever!

Pros:

I love how clear and smooth this BP gel goes on. It's just as effective as 10% BP without the intense stinging. It doesn't leave residue and WON'T clump up when applying to the skin.

Cons:

I don't have anything negative to say about Dan's BP.

IT WORKS!!! I have used everything from Proactive, Klear Action, Acne Free, Clearasil Ultra, Clean and Clear...EVERYTHING...and I have never used a better BP than Dan's. Try it. It goes on clear, won't clump up, is fragrance free, as is sold in huge amounts+++!!! I'm purchasing another 16oz this weekend. I'm in love with this product. I am a customer for life.

Pros:

goes on easily, doesn't clump or flake, works great under make-up, works quickly!

Cons:

not available in stores, so you have to make sure you order it before you run out. I started to break out as soon as I ran out!

This is the only acne product I've used that has worked consistantly. I've tried Proactive, and other similar products, but none of them worked as well as this product. I think it's a case of "less is more". The less crap you're putting on your face, the happier your skin will be.
