Pros:

Llght
quick drying
odourless
easy to buy online

Cons:

First couple of weeks redness and dryskin, but thats expected until skin adapts.

The discipline of reminding yourself and applying the treatment.

In some cases you have to be patient with it, it will get worse before it gets better just have to persevere

Right, I have used this product for well over a year now and i remember before starting the treatment i read loads of reviews to get a better idea of the product. Some were very helpful so I guess its only right i do a review also. Just by following the regimen i have managed to clear up 95% of my acne which became severe one stressful year (Stay happy peeps thats the best cheapest cure really) My routine after several months of following the regimen. And allowing the skin to clear is to only apply it at night before bed. My skin still stays clear minus the odd small head which goes away after applying the cream. That way my skin won't get accustomed to the treatment and so far its been working. If i notice more spots i will revert back to the full regimen. Just wish old scars and old redness would heal up quicker...might have to try the aha as i have been reading good things about it here.

Pros:

This is fabulous! I was skeptical at first but I am so happy I bought this. I have only been using my cleanser and treatment for 3 days and my skin already looks better to me. I don't have bad acne but it was enough to be a bother to me and some of them were under the skin. So painful! I definitely recommend it. Thank you Dan!

Cons:

Not to many! The benzoyl can be a little bit drying at first, just don't use to much. I followed the instructions very specifically. I haven't noticed any bleaching on the towels either. I didn't purchase the moisturizer because many of its reviews said it made the skin oily, and mine already is. The moisturizer I do use is Aveenos Daily Moisturizing Lotion(in a green and beige bottle), and that works well for any dryness I do get.

If you are frustrated with your skin, give this a try. It won't clear everything up in a week, but it makes your skin look a lot better after just a few days. I am going to continue with this regimen for as long as it continues working for me. Once my skin is used to the treatment I am going to begin using the Neutrogena Rapid Clear 2-in-1 fight and fade gel again. This works very good for scars. Highly recommend it for those pesky little marks left behind! Don't give up on this if you don't see results right away, like anything you should stick with it for some weeks. I am very pleased with it.

Pros:

Easy to spread around, generous amount. Makes blackheads turn white.

Cons:

Dries out your skin, Makes redmarks even redder and doesn't allow them to fade.

I used this product for about 4 years along with the DKR. I used it for so long because I did feel like it was keeping some of my acne at bay, but it never did completely clear up my skin. I was scared to stop using it so I continued for years and years. I do believe that this product may work for some people, and it did seem to work for me at least a little bit. I finally decided to stop because I realized it was really not getting better. My red marks have faded a lot more and I haven't had any major breakouts from stopping this product.

Pros:

lightweight
dries quickly
no smell
very smooth
gets rid of acne

Cons:

bleaches stuff.

when this product is used on is own,it does the job well. combined with dans whole system plus the aha formula got me clear and keeps me clear. Like everyone else who reviews this, i can say that nothing else has worked including every home remedy to prescriptions to proactive to all other acne washes. Bottom line: try this product if you are at your wits end. And get the system

Pros:

Effective, cheap, clear, easy to apply.
Most importantly: IT WORKS!

Cons:

My skin flaked a little during the first week, but then it adjusted and the flaking stopped. For a benzoyl peroxide based product, this is actually quite gentle.

I wasn't a believer - but Acne.org has got me converted. I'm 30 years old. I used to have moderate-severe acne when I was in my teens, and when all else failed I went on Accutane and that cleared up most of my acne problems. However, in all the years since then my skin has continued to be problematic - sensitive, prone to breakouts, not what I would consider "100% acne free". Hardly a week would go by that I wouldn't have at least a pimple somewhere on my face. It wasn't severe, but it was annoying and would frequently affect my self-confidence. A few months ago I was going through a series of breakouts and I got really fed up with my skin so I decided to give Acne.org and its treatment a try. I was very apprehensive (I'm pretty sure I had tried BP-based products before) but, despite my doubts, my skin cleared up after just a week of using the treatment. I continued using the treatment and, lo and behold, my skin STAYED clear! In the 3 months that I've been using Acne.org treatment I think I've had maybe 2-3 pimples, and in all cases they disappeared very quickly! My own process is slightly different than the one recommended by Acne.org. In the morning I wash my face with an Alba Pineapple Facial Scrub. After my face dries I apply the benzoyl peroxide treatment, and 15 mins later I apply Alba Aloe & Green Tea moisturizer. Before bedtime I wash my face with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. After my face dries I apply the BP treatment again, though some nights I skip it if I feel my skin is too sensitive. Finally, after 15 minutes I apply the Acne.org AHA+ (glycolic acid) solution. That does a nice job smoothing out my skin and prepping my skin cells for the scrub next morning.

Pros:

It works well after some time. Easy to apply.Shipping is usually fast. Has sped up healing and reduced oiliness in prone areas. I would like to add: Dan's cleanser is very good; almost no irritations, and leaves a moist feel to the skin after use. Nodules have reduced down to maybe one every three weeks and most are small and heal quickly.That is a tremendous improvement over one nodule every week.

Cons:

Some irritation-- stinging, dryness, aged skin-like effects around eye areas. Using jojoba oil and cocoa butter around these age-effected areas. May continue to purge for some weeks before it begins to reduce the severity.Some nodules are stubborn or resistant.

I was reluctant to use any sort of benzoyl peroxide product at first because I used it for years off and on, and it never really was effective. I am glad I gave this a shot now. Both the treatment and cleanser products have worked with persistent use. I stayed close to the recommendations Dan set forth. And I must say, after some purging and cycling, I am 90 percent clear as long as my stress levels stay down. I had suffered with nodular acne when I was young and it reoccurred 12 years after accutane was successful, followed by a topical antibiotic which failed after 12 yrs. I am now 48 yrs young-- ha ha, and have what my derm calls chronic, incalcitrant acne. So I definitely have come to realize that there is much hope for this kind of treatment product. The low concentration with heavy application reduces the adverse effects fairly well, but works to control the acne overgrowth. That seems to be the case. I wish I had tried this many years ago. My thanks to you Dan Kern.

Pros:

Cleared most of pimples, acne

Cons:

May sting
Does not get rid of blackhead
Does not get rid of scars

I must say, this thing really works! During the 1st week, I put too much (too excited I guess) and it made my face really red and raw-ish. But after applying the moisturizer for a few days, it eventually faded away. It cleared most of the acne on my cheeks and forehead, around 75%. But I still have blackheads on my nose and chin, and occasional one or two pimples here and there. Highly recommended :)
