Pros:

clears up skin

Cons:

read down there!

okay, so i have tried EVERYTHING out there, in fact, my search for a good treatment made me want to be a dermatologist so that no one has to go through this. anywaysss, i bought this BP and tried it for about a week, it completely dried out my face and i could barely move my mouth, so i quit using it. then i came back on the site and read more about it. i decided to buy the jojoba oil and give it another shot, the jojoba oil was awesome, however i still had major flakes. so i was thinking that maybe the pure BP was a bit too harsh on my skin, so i mixed the BP, olay moisturizer, and jojoba oil together and gave it a third go. worked like a charm! so basically the point of the story: if its too drying for you then mix it with a moisturizer. i promise it will work!

Pros:

Clears up acne from hours to days, works really,extremely fast, Best acne treatment ever no doubt!. Cheaper than most acne treatments.

Cons:

It takes soo long to dry

I've been using alot of acne treatments for the last 3 years or so and never was satisfied to any of it. I've used Proactiv solution for about a year but never worked as what i expected it to be. Proactiv never really cleared up my face which they actually claim to be the best acne treatment worlwide. I wasn't satisfied with the results so i decided to use Dan's regimen and after 2 weeks i quickly took the phone and cancelled my proactiv account and ended up refunding my proactiv. This stuff is just tottaly amazing!!! I recommend it to everyone and surely you would never ever move to any other products one you have tried this!

Pros:

It has cleared up my cystic acne. For me it actually absorbs into my skin fairly quickly and it does not ball up or get clumpy under moisturizer. I use the large pump bottle, so it is also easy to know exactly how much product to use (2 pumps worth). I live in Canada, so the shipping was also quite quick, and I just used the regular mail shipping option.

Cons:

It is very drying, so find a good moisturizer. In the beginning your skin may get worse before it gets better - but don't give up! It will also 'bleech' your towels and clothes it you are not careful. If I got some of the product too close to my eyes, they would get a little irritated and get a little watery.

I have fairly severe cystic acne, mostly on my chin. I have had some success with similar products before (proactiv, other BP creams etc.) but nothing has worked as good as this. I believe it's because of the amount of the product that you need to use and giving the product time to work. In the beginning, my skin actually got a lot worse then normal. I'm on my third month now and have had clear skin (ie. no new blemishes, big or small) for a few weeks. This was unheard of for me before. I used to get a new pimple every day or two, and they were usually large inflamed cysts. I'm really thankful for all the hard work in getting the product made, and for everyone's reviews. For anyone wondering if they should try it - the answer is yes!

Pros:

-Smooth and easy to apply
-Clears up acne fast!

Cons:

-Drying
-Can cause serious flakes if you don't use a good moisturizer

This is the best Benzoyl Peroxide on the market, period. I started Dan's regimen a few months ago and my skin has never looked better. This BP is drying (they all are) but with a good moisturizer (I use Dan's) and a lot of jojoba oil the dryness is easy to control. I honestly think this is the best acne medication available. As long as you use this and moisturize religiously you will see an big improvement in your skin-- trust me, I've tried everything, and this has by far given me the best results.

Pros:

works!

Cons:

personal feeling that it is harsh on the skin.

Skin type: sensitive combination skin I'm 20 years old and have been using this since I was a little over 18. IT HAS CLEARED ME UP! When I returned home from college, I received comments about how much clearer my skin has become! I used the product exactly as Dan instructed. As Dan said, this won't perfect your skin, but will make a big improvement! I am proof! An 8oz bottle lasted me almost a year and a half! (I only used once a day on problem areas though. I found it to be drying on the area between my nose and upper lip, but then again I do have sensitive skin.) You must use with moisturizer or else your skin will be very dry. It does increase sensitivity to sun, but all benzoyl peroxide does that. Use sunscreen! I recently just placed my second order (year and a half later)! The price I paid was for an 8oz bottle and shipping to NY. I strongly recommend this product, but be sure to watch Dan's videos for instructions and recommendations.

Cons:

none. just use a nice moisturizer so you don't get dry/red :)

Pros:

I am clearing up. It's my 5th week of being on Acne.org products.

Cons:

Dry flaky skin. Break outs continued.

I feel my acne are more due to stress and hormones. This product would have worked better if i was not under so much stress. I probably go through much more stress than a normal individual. Its my school and my accelerated medicine program. I started this during my break and it worked pretty good initially but as soon as school started, i am down again. I am going to keep up with the regimen as it helps with inflammation and scars. But i am going for a hormone test next week and decide if spiro would be a good option or not. Hope this helps. I would say definitely give it a try. I feel much better than not being on the regimen.

Pros:

Works, excellent price, high quality product

Cons:

Some drying

I used my own moisturizer and cleanser, so I really think that this BP makes all the difference. You do need to follow the regimen to the letter, though. It took a few weeks for me to see real results, so be patient. But I'm totally clear now, and my skin hasn't looked this good since I was 17. Also, the 8oz tube is wonderful and the BP is very high quality and goes on easily. Thank you, Dan!

Pros:

Great size, Non-Scented, Easy to use

Cons:

Will dry skin out if used too often

This product works great! I have been using it along with the rest of the system (ie: cleanser and mosturizer) for about 3 months and have seen major improvement with my skin. My first week using the treatment I had problems with my skin drying out. But once I started focusing on my t-zone and checks (which are my problem areas), instead of smearing it on my whole face, the dry-ness subsided.

Pros:

Nice size bottles

Cons:

Unfortunately it did not work for me.
I did not like slathering on the cream :shudder: or waiting for it to dry before applying my makeup.

My face felt really dry after using this. I also did not like slathering on the cream. I hated waiting the 10-20 min for the cream to dry before being able to put my makeup on.
