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 :)

This has been the only benzoyl peroxide treatment to work for me and has been a life-saver! (Order the larger sizes or repeated shipping of smaller sizes is a waste of money) ty acne.org!

Pros:

some red marks start to fade on first week
less breakouts
removes blackheads
whiteheads are disappearing
pimples disappear faster

Cons:

Itchy skin for first 2 weeks
shipping is EXPENSIVE

it's not a bad product, it works better than the other products i've had. although after 2-3 weeks i started breaking out again, that could result from using too much bp or too little. BE VERY CAREFUL AROUND THE EYE AREA, woke up one day with red skin around the eyes. it's worth the risk to take, but be careful with the amount, to little and to much can hurt the skin. if you want your skin to clear up, you have to be gently with the the bp and not touch the face, trust me, it helps.

Pros:

Price, The big tube lasts me a year, It works!

Cons:

Bleaches towels and clothing if touched when wet.

I've used Dan's regimen for about 5 years now. None of the things the dermatologist gave me worked (except for antibiotics and you cant stay on those forever : ) I had sever cystic acne and as long as I use the regimen religiously I am clear. Thanks Dan!

Been having problems with acne since high school. After less than 2 months using this product, it clears up completely. Works like magic! Thanks Dan!

Pros:

It works! It's not expensive. It doesn't take long to receive the product.

Cons:

It takes time to clear the skin (as stated in the instructions) and obviously, everyone wants to be clear NOW!

It took me the full 8-12 weeks to be completely clear but I'm so happy I stuck with it. I've tried everything a dermatologist can provide, including two sessions of Accutane, which cleared my skin for a few years but eventually the acne returned. I was desperate when my derm. suggested another Accutane treatment! I refused to be put on that stuff again. I have also tried many of the other strategies/shortcuts mentioned on this site because I didn't believe that something as simple as a BP treatment could possibly improve my condition after all the doctor prescribed treatments failed. Bottom line...I purchased the BP, moisturizer and AHA and use them in conjunction with Herpanacine (see reviews under supplements) and I'm completely clear!! I told you I was desperate so I took a two-prong approach to clearing the acne. I used Dan's three products on my face only so the Herpanacine and Dan's AHA alone cleared my back. My gratitude goes to Dan and the man who created Herpanacine. If you decide to try it, which I strongly recommend you do, do not shortchange yourself by giving up too early. Give it the full 12 weeks to see improvement. Oh, and follow Dan's instructions exactly, just as he recommends.

Pros:

Finally, something that works! Not only did this product clear my acne, it also diminished the dark spots left by previous breakouts. For the price, you can't beat this treatment for cost, quantity, or effectiveness.

Cons:

This product will bleach any fabric it touches, towels, clothes, etc. It did dry my skin out quite a bit the first few weeks, even with moisturizer. After my skin became used to it, and with regular moisturizer I haven't noticed any significant dryness.

I've never had anything work like this! Honestly, I was at the point where I'd tried everything and I'd resigned to the fact that I was just going to have to live with less than perfect skin. Thanks to this product, I no longer have to do that. I've never felt so free to just be me without having to worry that all anyone is seeing is my terrible skin.
