Pros:

Smoothen Skin, tighten pores, less oil secretion

Cons:

Dries skin, darkens laugh lines

I feel that this item is pretty effective in drying up spots although I am still having break outs at my upper lip area (because I want to avoid applying the treatment at this area). I am extremely sensitive skin so for people who have extremely sensitive skin please DO NOT apply the treatment at areas near your laugh lines or upper lip area (just below the nose). This is because it will tighten/ dry your skin so much causing the skin around that area to darken and you may end up looking like a old woman. I have such an experience when using products prescribed by my skin doctor. So if you have sensitive skin, only apply the treatment at the apples of the cheek, Jawline, Forehead and your nose bridge. Apply a very thick layer of the moisturizer (from the regime set) to your upper lip and laugh line area to prevent any over drying caused by the cleanser. You won't want to look like an old woman after you get rid of your acnes right? Do a moisturizing mask twice a week using Oat+Honey+Rice Flour to prevent over drying of skin. Hope this helps :)))

Pros:

-Lots of product
-Reduces breakouts
-Absorbs great
-Smooth skin
-Cheap & effective!

Cons:

-Very Drying
-Leaves redness
-Time consuming
-Weird Scent

I've been using this product for around a month. I use the Cetaphil cleanser, the BP, and Simple's hydrating moisturizer. It is extremely drying during the first few weeks! But it will go away. After a month in, my skin has somewhat improved. The results so far are not drastic. I still have red bumps everywhere and I still have to coverup with concealer. But there has is definitely some improvement so it is effective! Just don't expect fast results right away. I'm hoping after 6 months it will completely clear up my skin. So far so good though. :)

Pros:

I am 35 years old and out of the blue starting suffering from acne that seems to be hormonal. I have never had acne issues, even when going through puberty so this has been devestating at my age. I have spent lots of money on face washes, treatments, lotions, foundations, etc trying to find the right fix and I stumbled across acne.org. I first tried the Nutragena On the Spot and I did get good results but since that worked so well, I decided to try Dan's solutions and I am Super Pleased!!

Cons:

It takes longer to rub in, which is the whole point of what helps it work, but I have to allow extra time to get ready. It was very drying at first, but my skin adjusted within a week.

I still get some breakouts, especially around 'that time' but after everything else I have purchased, I am very happy with the results from using this along with Dan's other items! Thank you!!!!

Pros:

Clears up active pimples quickly
Prevents new pimples from forming
Dries clear
No fragrance

Cons:

Very drying
Leave a red spot after the pimple is gone
Have to apply a lot of product for it work well
Bleaches fabrics

The bottom line is that this stuff worked for me. I had moderate acne and I would constantly have at least one deep cystic pimple along with other whiteheads at any given time. I mostly broke out around my chin and cheeks. When I started using Dan's BP, I was at my worst. I had a few months of constantly having at least 5 cystic pimple and a bunch of whiteheads. Dan's BP was great at drying up and getting rid of the whiteheads. It didn't clear up the deep cysts any faster than normal but it definitely prevented new ones from forming. After using the product for just a month, my skin is so much clearer. I have no more cystic acne and I just have a few whiteheads that pop up. The BP is extremely drying which can be a little irritating and uncomfortable (but definitely preferred over acne). One of my biggest complaints is the red marks that seem to linger after a pimple is gone. And in general, the BP seems to give a reddish tint to my face, along with the darker red marks and scaring from the pimples. Overall, I this product is definitely worth trying and sticking to for some time. I have had a significant improvement and I hope to get completely clear one day soon. The side effects I experienced are no where near as bad as the acne I used to have. I am going to try Dan's AHA+ to help with the red marks and scaring.

Pros:

Works without overdrying (on me)
Good price
Good consistency

Cons:

I can't think of any.

It works for me, but bp has always been the most effective acne treatment for me. It doesn't dry me out badly or cause much irritation though I am one of the few that claim this. The consistency is really nice. It's smooth and dries clear. I used on the spot and that was so gritty and dried me out more plus I think it gave me more acne. I switched to acne.org bp and it's been so much better. I only use it 1x a day before bed and that's working for me. I tried the cleanser but it gave me small pimples so I went to a bp wash and that works better for me. I don't use acne.org moisturizer either. I've never tried because I was really happy with my moisturizer I was already using and didn't want to switch and risk a breakout. I just began using the aha a few times a week and so far I really like that too.

Pros:

Clears acne
Keeps new pimples from emerging and fights them under the skin
If a pimple forms, it is much less severe
Clear formula, absorbs fast

Cons:

Makes skin red
Makes skin dry
Makes skin itchy

This is the best BP out there. I was concerned that the 2.5% would not be strong enough because I have used as high as 10% in the past. However, the 2.5% is just perfect... using this BP morning and night as recommended really helps to fight pimples all day. From my own experience, I must say, for me at least, it was very important to START SLOW. I was using too much, too soon and my skin got very red and itchy. Once I slowed down and reduced the amount, my skin got much better. I feel that every person's skin is different, so everyone should use the amount that is right for them. So some people may never have to use the full amount that Dan suggests. But this BP is honestly great, its a clear formula that absorbs quickly into the skin and fights pimples very well. I only hope that I will continue to see the same great results, and then I will never stop buying this product!

Pros:

Works great! I have tried many products and this one (when used with "the regimen") is most effective. Gel formula goes on smooth.

Cons:

I recommend easing into use. Can dry out skin at first.

Get this now and use with "the regimen." Ease into use to prevent dryness. Be patient, use regularly, and your skin will become and stay clear!

It makes the skin quite dry but with the acne.org moisturizer the dryness tends to go away fast.

It's amazing! And my acne hasn't be better!

Pros:

Light, absorbs well, CLEARS...you see the difference within a few days

Cons:

Dries, but that's a given.

I LOVE the texture of this benzoyl peroxide. it's easy to massage into the skin. Others that i've used have done the cakey and white deal...didn't abosorb. This just feels different and i could tell the difference within a couple of days. I also like that it's not in the 5% -10% range as far as how strong it is. I was using both at one time and i felt like my face was on fire a lot of times. I also tried one with 5% benzoyl peroxide and tea trea oil...I was not a happy camper...lol. Good stuff and you get MORE than enough. I'm in Afghanistan working and it's dirty here and the water is bad. My skin has really suffered. So far so good with this product.

Pros:

Clears-up acne fast, scentless, non-greasy, non-flaking, cheap

I use the treatment 2-3 times a day and I love it! After my favorite BP product was discontinued, I thought I'd have to live through the rest of my twenties with random breakouts. I've been using this for a year now and it's a miracle worker. I hope it never goes away! I used to have light acne, but I couldn't do without it. Remember to use a moisturizer right after using this, especially one with a sunblock.
