Pros:

This stuff works the same as the Duac my Dermatologist prescribed me. It smells the same, feels the same, and looks the same. Only, now I'm paying more than 1,000% less. This is great news for me since I'm not insured. Thanks Dan!

Cons:

Has that "smell." Not strong, but not pleasant.

Use it, use it some more, and then use it some more. This stuff will make you completely clear with consistent use! However, you must continue treatment. Since there is no cure for acne, you must continue using this until you overcome acne later in life.

Pros:

It works!!

Cons:

Not in stores, shipping is a little high

I have been suffering from acne since I was 12 years old. I ordered this after my face got destroyed by Murad Acne Complex. I noticed a HUGE difference after the first night I used it. Pimples were smaller, redness was fading. I have used it for the last few months and I have never been happier. My face is completely cleared up! I will actually have clear skin for my wedding!

Pros:

Love this; goes on clear, no more white streaks or gross white flakes. Seemed to work as well at the Neutrogena stuff, and cleared up several chronic spots in about a day and a half.

Cons:

It will leave your skin a little dry if you don't use moisturizer, but so will all the other BP products.

I really like this. If you want to use a BP product, this is probably the best stuff around.

Pros:

Clears acne up FAST (depending on your skin).

Cons:

Not in stores.

IT WORKS. I've tried Proactiv, AcneFree, Clearasil, EVERYTHING-until my friend told me about Dan K.'s regimen. After I finished treatment from the dermatologist, my acne came back and was worser than ever. So I decided to try Dan K.'s acne regimen. My acne cleared up within a week and after three weeks (now) it's officialy clear exept for one or two pimples now and then and the acne scars from old breakouts. Thank You SOO much for creating this regimen!

Pros:

Not irritating
Size of Bottle
Price

Cons:

Shipping Cost (All in all a value though)

Was paying much more for prescription (Duac) that had 5% BP. After seeing how well a BP solution worked but not wanting to pay the cost ($40 per month), tried DK product. It's not overdrying for me, but this takes about 3 -4 months of application for the new BP user. I've found that Zirh "Protect" is an excellent moisturizer that can take care of any flakiness in the beginning without making the problem worse. Thanks DK! Nice job!

Pros:

smooth & clear
far less abrasive than 10%B.P. w/same effectiveness
can be worn under make-up

The regimen has worked wonders in only a couple of days for me! I've literally tried everything from retin-a, home remedies, etc. for the past decade, but this has been amazing! It makes sense to gently layer it on. Think about it this way: it would be as if you're marinating something, the more you put on and longer it sits, the better it stays. I also put aloe vera gel on top after it dries, but this is for me, it may not work for other people. I was having a hard time leaving the house because my acne was making me feel so ugly, and after only a few days I have cleared up significantly. The price is also super cheap (to me) when you think about it. It's 4oz. for 8.50 rather than a 1oz tube for $5.60. I don't mind the shipping either, this is a GREAT deal!

Pros:

Reasonable price for the large quantity;
Gel Formulation is Unique and Different from Anything Else on the Market;
It works!

Cons:

Shipping fees a tad bit pricey

I am 38 and have extremely sensitive skin with a problematic, oily t-zone. I decided to purchase this product after reading all the positive reviews on the Acne.org and Makeup Alley websites. I have only used it a few days, but so far so good! I love the texture of the gel formula - it did not irritate my skin at all and is really gentle. Upon my first use, I could immediately tell this gel is unlike any other bp product I have tried in the past. I am using this gel in conjunction with Jan Marini Bioglycolic cleanser and Bioclear lotion. Very happy I tried it...hope it continues to work for me!

Pros:

Does a great job of clearing up acne. Goes on incredibly smooth.

Cons:

Postage is pretty expensive.
Will bleach your clothes like mad if they touch anything. Be very careful of what you touch.
Difficult to use on back w/o bleaching shirts.

If your looking for a way to truly clear up your acne this is a great place to start. While it doesnt seem to eliminate it all together it really helps to keep them from breaking out badly. The more you use it the better it will work. I work in the medical industry and see people paying $80 for RXs of benzole peroxide creams. Not nearly worth the price. If you can apply the cream to your face after you put your shirt on int he morning and make sure you don't touch your face to your clothes, then it will not bleach. I have ruined many shirts with this stuff so be careful.
