Pros:

Keeps my skin clear and improved my skin tone.

Cons:

It's not sold in stores.

If you are looking for the solution to hard-to-cure acne, this is it. Follow the Regimen precisely every single day. It took me a while to clear up (a month) but it has been almost 3 years now. All those pesky red marks are gone and I rarely get a breakout I can't control. Before the Regimen, I had acne all over my face and had gone to derms for 5 years. Please give it a shot!

Pros:

Inexpensive, effective, doesn't take much time, simple. No more worrying if people are distracted by my pimples when they talk to me. No more "industrial strength" cover-up and concealer.The confidence I now have in my skin is amazing

Cons:

None, really.

However, you need to use it EVERY DAY. Don't skip days just because your skin looks great! I stay out of the sun more, and wear sunscreen every day, but I should be doing that anyway.

Absolutely recommend!! After 20 years of large cystic acne on my chin (antibiotics, injections, etc) this gel has "cured" my skin. It is amazing,and amazingly simple- I cannot say enough good things about it. I will never be without it again. My sincerest THANKS to Dan Kern! I feel like I have a new life! Happy Happy Happy! Oh- and the tube lasts a Looooong time!

Pros:

Works fast for a couple weeks and is pretty cheap except for postage.

Cons:

Acne returns in even bigger ammounts after 4 weeks of using it. Very dry and makes my skin feel bad.

This product was okay to use at first and then after a couple weeks my acne came back even worse than it was before I started using the product. I kept using it because of all the good reviews but it seemed my acne was just getting worser.

Pros:

I've used this for going on a month now and it's working great. I'm very rarely getting acne and it goes away very quickly and is barely visible.

Cons:

I'd rather buy it in a store but it's worth it.

I haven't used it long enough yet to see if it will remain affective but I have a feeling it will. Something about this product, I just like it. If you haven't tried it, try it. It's worth the shot.

Pros:

works well, inexpensive, and fragrance free. Way better than the lotion from Proactiv.

Cons:

None so far!!!

This stuff is a miracle. Doesn't dry out your skin like other bp lotion's.

Pros:

good texture, goes on well, amazing product

Cons:

Shipping...

So far this is the best BP gel I have ever found. I have had acne for a long time and I hope this clears it up. This is by far the best product out there for acne. The only thing is shipping is really expensive, but other than that it is a great product!

Pros:

Amazing product! Gentle and effective when used in accordance with the regimen. I am amazed at how clear my skin is--it's clear for the first time in so many years. Rivals the 100% clear effects I had when I was on minocycline.

Cons:

Can be drying-just moisturize and be careful where you put it (around eyes, sensitive neck areas, watch the eyebrows!)

I'm still in awe as to how this product works so well. I started the regimen about 2 mos. ago, using OTS. This product is far superior--goes on smooth, absorbs well, no pilling. Easy to use under makeup. After switching to this product about a month ago, my face is clear to the point that I rarely get inflamed bumps (maybe one-two a week now) and those that I do get go away in a matter of hours it seems. Small bumps under the skin have come out too. My skin is so smooth and nice now, and I have battled moderate to severe acne for 11+ years. Thank you, Dan, for giving me hope and a beautiful complexion!

Pros:

I love this product! It has honeslty saved my face. I go without makeup all the time now and I feel great about it. I want to thank Dan every day for this, he has changed my life. I love feeling good about my face!

Cons:

Not a thing!

If you feel that it does not work for u at first give it a couple months. Your skin may have to get worse before it gets better. If you fall off the horse and you start breaking out again, go back and do the regimen. Make sure to always wash your hands before washing your face. I have never stuck with a product in my life and I faithfully use this 2 times a day or I will break out again. My skin looks amazing and I haven't been able to say that for years. Thanks again Dan, you are amazing!

Pros:

By far the best acne product I have ever used. Works incredibly effectively without overdrying the skin.

This is an incredible product. After struggling with acne for years and trying a wide range of treatments, my skin is finally clear! I can't recommend it highly enough.

Pros:

Even figuring in shipping costs, much cheaper per ounce than similar products available in stores. The gel formulation absorbs better than the cream-based store formula and doesn't roll off when you use moisturizer afterwards.

Cons:

None really. Maybe the fact you have to order it online and wait for a mail order, but that keeps cost low (and it's not a big of problem for us who live in the US compared to foreign countries). At least you get a generous amount in each tube.

This is a great product, and I really appreciate Dan developing it and sharing it with others at a reasonable price. It glides on easily and absorbs well, resulting in using less product compared to what I used of Neutrogena On-the-Spot. It doesn't feel heavy on and doesn't affect moisturizer or makeup application. There is no fragrance. Also, since switching to this gel from On-the-Spot, the regimen works much better for me, and now my skin is almost clear. I find the gel less drying and irritating, too. So, for me, this product is more affordable, more effective, and more pleasant to use than other 2.5% BP products. I would recommend this product to anyone with mild or moderate acne as part of a gentle skin care routine.
