Pros:

Fragrance-free, thick consistency, cheap and you can cut the tube open to get the last remnants out of the bottle :)

Cons:

wish it came in even bigger packaging, need to be patient and wait for it to dry or it'll bleach out all your clothes/sheets

I LOVE this stuff especially in comparison to proactiv's 2.5% which is too creamy and stinks to high heavens (enough to make you sick if in large increments which is required for DK's regimen)

Pros:

Works great - no more breakouts

Cons:

Skin will be excessively dry for the first few weeks, even if you ease into regimen. Occasional dry spells afterwards if you are not careful with lotion.

This is the best acne treatment. My light to moderate acne has been completely clear since I began the program with no end in sight and very limited skin irritation. Accutane worked wonders for me, but my acne would inevitably return 12 to 18 months later. Side effects for me were minimal. The prescription lotions did not keep me clear (differin) and left my skin red and irritated. Thank you Dan Kern.

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:

Extremely affordable, clear gel doesn't flake as much, and is pretty much invisible, even on my dark skin.

Cons:

It's not sold in stores, so you have to pay for shipping. I have combination skin, so I have some dryness around my mouth, but nowhere else. However, that's expected for Benzoyl Peroxide

Great value for 2% Benzoyl Peroxide; the only other brand I've seen is Neutrogena's 0.75 oz tube for over $7.00. Dan charges $8.50 (plus shipping) for almost FIVE times the amount. It's also a lot gentler than 5% or 10% solutions, and the only 2% solution that I've seen in a clear gel.

Pros:

Effective. Nice texture. Good quantity. I like how it is fragrance-free.

Cons:

A little wet and takes a little while to dry. Hard to get the last remains out of the bottle.

It is an acne treatment that works and is at an affordable price unlike when I was on Proactive. I was also using 10% BP at one point, but that stuff dried out my skin like no other. This BP does not dry out my skin at all and I was surprised with its rather quick results! People have complimented on my clear skin a lot now. I don't even have to wear makeup anymore.

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:

Big Tube, Consistent in keeping my moderate acne away

Cons:

Not available in stores

I've suffered with moderate acne since I was 13 (19 now). While not as long as some people, any teenager with acne knows the pain it can cause. I've tried my share of prescriptions-BenzaClin, Doxycycline, Clindamycin, Cefadroxil, Tretinoin and finally Accutane. I was only able to take Accutane for a week but it cleared up the acne on my back and shoulders. When it started coming back, with nothing left to turn to, I decided to try Dan's gel. It was the best decision I've ever made. It is more effective than any prescription I've tried and equally as effective as accutane-without the nasty side effects. Do yourself a favor, try it, and give it time to work. While I have intermittent break outs my skin has never looked better. My back and shoulders are acne free and my face is 90% better than what it used to be, and that is only after a couple months of use. And at 40 bucks a month (4 tubes + shipping) its affordable. Bottom Line-there is nothing more effective than BP. Try Dan's Gel!

Pros:

I absoluley love the feel of the gel....I have very sensitive skin and this has not irritated it at all. A very wonderful product

Cons:

None

If you truly serious about taking care of your skin, and don't want to spend a fortune.....this is the line to use. The cleanser, the BP Gel (can't wait for the moisturizer) is top of the line and truly makes my skin feel wonderful. I can't ask for any better.

This stuff is great and gets rid of breakouts quickly has no side effects that I'm aware of.
