Pros:

I liked it. It worked better than most products I have tried. Gentle and effective on my very stubborn acne

Cons:

none -- ok, it bleached all my sheets (you have to expect that)

I liked this and recommend it. It helped me a lot. It is better than everything I have tried (and I have tried it all -- even accutane, which worked with bad side effects, and then the acne came back a few years later). The only product that I found as good (or better) is Paula's Choice. But Clear skin is much cheaper -- very useful too.

Pros:

It works!
It does not flake up like the cream ones
Makes you glow
Affordable

Cons:

Medical smell

I have been on the regimen for over a year, using "On The Spot" with good results. I was spending so much money buying those little tubes every week that I decided to buy Dan's huge bottle. I am so glad I did, it took me from good to great skin! I actually cured my acne by making this switch. The gel absorbs quickly and feels lightweight. The only negative thing is the smell, which is something I can live with if it means I can have gorgeous, smooth skin!

Pros:

Leaves face feeling clean
Doesn't make face oily
Clears face up quickly
Is clear, so it's great under makeup

Cons:

None!!!!

Some people may experience a really dry or flaky face when first using, but not me. I used a nice dosage of this stuff twice a day, and my face feels so nice! I haven't had my face this clear in ages! I'm 26 and have had acne pretty much since I was 13. It even stays un oily when I touch my face repeatedly (it's clear, I want to touch it cause I don't believe it!) In AZ, anything that will help with preventing oil is fantastic.

Pros:

Gel formula
Absorbed well by skin
Feels light on skin

Cons:

Non.e

I live in a humid climate and this BP works wonders because it dries fast, something that my Clinique Acne Solutions didn't do (it would take about 15 minutes to dry). But the Acne.org BP dries in 2 to 3 minutes, but of course I wait a while to apply my moisturizer afterwards to make sure the skin absorbs most of it. LOVE IT!

Pros:

Great BP gel. Goes on smooth and comes with a very generous amount.

Cons:

None at all!

This stuff works great to clear my skin and is some of the best BP out there.

Pros:

You don't have to wash it off. Works.

Cons:

You have to wait for it to absorb and make sure it doesn't touch your hair or any piece of fabric.

I used this product a while ago and it did made my skin flaky and it burned just a tiny bit. I stopped for a few months (for no apparent reason), but once I used the regimen again, the burning didn't occur and it cleared up my skin in just two days!

Pros:

This is the best Benzoyl Peroxide product I have ever used in my life, and I have tried many of them. Very effective, easily absorbs into skin without leaving a residue, and does not dry out skin.

Cons:

It is a little bit expensive and you have to order it online. But for me this is well worth it and I am happy to order something that works so well (and it's made by Dan, who genuinely cares about helping people, unlike greedy corporations).

When I first saw this product online I thought it was kind of a joke and was extremely skeptical of it. "What's so special about yet another BP product?" I thought, after all I had tried them all. But when used with Dan's regimen it will totally clear your skin! I had mild to moderate acne for 10 years that was extremely persistant. My skin cleared gradually over 3 months on the regimen and by the end of the 3rd month I was totally clear and haven't had a single pimple in months. Dan's products are the best, and this BP is his "workhorse" as he puts it. I had used countless treatments, including many BP treatments before trying the regimen. I strongly urge you give Dan's regimen a shot and see if it works for you. You don't have to use Dan's products for the regimen to work, but I recommend that you do. These are the best products I've ever tried, especially the BP. Just awesome.

Pros:

absorbs fast and well, nice refreshing feeling when applied, unscented

Cons:

none so far

I have been using a 5% BP for a few years before I switched to Acne.org product so I had no problem adjusting to it--and once I do I can never live without it! The gel doesnt leave white residue like my previous BP cream did, and this product doesn't have the horrible medication scent. Together with the AHA it works wonders for my skin. I used to have very oily skin ( after a couple hours of washing my face it would be shiny with grease again, and I always had acne on the side of my face), but 2 weeks after I using both products together I began to see a difference. Now after 3 month of using both they keep my cheek oil-free the entire day. My forehead is still a little oily towards the end of the day, I still have a zit every once in a while, but my skin is pretty much clear 95% of the time. I still have whiteheads on my nose. but it was a dramatic difference from before!! My twice a day routine: neutrogena pore refining cleanser->toner->BP->AHA.

Pros:

Eliminates nearly all acne on my face. Great consistency and price.

Cons:

If you sweat a lot, it'll carry down your neck and start to bleach your shirt.

This treatment really is a God-send. I'm not really sure what I'd do without it. It has greatly restored my confidence.
September 2, 2008

Pros:

Keeps my face completely clear. I have to use it at a half dose in order to keep my skin from peeling, however it keeps me 100% clear. Clears all kinds of zits, minimized blackheads, and improved overall quality of skin tone.

Cons:

Can cause dryness, not sold in stores.

This is easily the most effective benzoyl peroxide I've ever used.
