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.

I though Panoxyl bp gel was good, but acne.org bp gel is the best (less irritation)

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.

Pros:

Goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly, fast results

Cons:

Can bleach clothing and takes some adjustment for skin

This is one of the few routines I've been able to stick with and it has worked really well. My back is still clearing up, but overall I have seen great improvements. I also have not had any breakouts since I started using this. Great product, good price.

Pros:

oderless, reduses spots, and it was quite cheap (in britian it was just over £5)

Cons:

in the first week makes skin dry but if you use moisturiser it will go back to normal

this treatment works for me and it has reduced the size of my spots and cleared up my skin and if you don't mind having a bit of dry skin a for a few days this is a product for you

Pros:

Gel form
Excellent price per ounce
Odorless

Cons:

Can be drying (We all know that. Moisturizer is our friend!)

I was paying $12/ounce of Proactiv's gel benzoyl peroxide every month and a half or so, so I decided to give this solution a try. It works just as well as Proactiv's third step, but I'm now paying something like $2/ounce. Thanks, Dan!

Pros:

it's been working so far....yeah!

Cons:

can be drying but we already know that....moisturizing is a must

I actually purchased this to start using on my twelve year old daughter. Her skin was starting to break out kind of on a regular basis; no big pimples, but still whiteheads on chin and forehead. We've been consisitently using this for about five weeks, and so far so good! Her skin is noticeably better with whiteheads very rare now....hope we continue to see good results. Thanks so much for this site and your products.....I'm sold! : )
