Pros:

Clears up acne in 2-3 weeks, light, goes unnoticed, and blends well into the skin

Cons:

Can make it worse within the 2-3 week time frame because of the build up of budding acne in the skin, dries out skin

I have been using 10% Benzoyl peroxide as my regular face washing regimen as well as pairing it with a 10% benzoyl peroxide topical gel. After my skin cleared up significantly and I was maintaining clear skin, I thought that I could switch over to a new face wash. That was a bust and my skin is still recuperating from the time I did not follow through with my benzoyl peroxide regimen. I have since gone back to using the BP face wash, AHA toner, and BP topical gel and I am seeing a positive change in my skin.

Pros:

fantastic product, does wonders for acne, feels great going on and absorbs fast.

Cons:

Really dried out my face the first month of use. I had to experiment with many moisturizers before it got any better. The amount you put on is a lot, so it might a while to massage it into the face.

I have tried countless of products which made quite a big dent in my band account. I decided to give acne.org a try. Now I'm over half year into the regimen and it feels so wonderful having clear skin and bright complexion. Everyone, my friends and family, all noticed my drastic skin improvement and wanted to know what I use on my face. I don't even wear make-up anymore, and just let my natural healthy skin do the show. The product is a little bid expensive, but I believe that you cannot put a price to clear healthy skin. After years of suffering from acne, I'm happy to say that I've finally found a solid treatment. I recommend this product 100%.

Pros:

Feels great on your face
The price is amazing
Doesn't leave white marks
Clears and prevents acne! (when used with the regimen)

Cons:

Nothing!

I don't evven know where to start with this... I just LOVE this benzoyl peroxide, It's amazing. Probably the best and easily the most affordable BP on the market. I hope Dan never stops selling it! P.S - my acne WAS moderate, but now I'm proud to say it's light (and I've only been on the regimen for a bit over a week)

Pros:

-great consistency/soaks in quickly
-feels great to use
-IT WORKS

Cons:

-causes very dry skin/cracking/peeling/flaking
-takes time for skin to get used to it

I have had severe acne for several years now, but when I went to college it became out of control. It took a good 2 1/2 months, but my face is finally looking great and my acne is about 85% cleared i'd say. This REALLY works, with patience and consistency.

Pros:

Before starting on the regimen, I had moderate acne with whiteheads, pustules and the occasional cyst dotted all over my face. After 8 weeks, my acne has cleared up 99%! Only red marks and light scars remain, which I will be looking into very soon. I strongly urge you to try this treatment before turning to other options.

Cons:

For the first 6 weeks, my skin was red, dry and peeling all over. Even now, I am unable to adjust to the "recommended" amount, and only use 2 full pumps once a day. However, it is enough to keep me clear.

I also had to fork out additional cash for shipping ;;

Get it! It will bring your acne under control. Thanks Dan!

Pros:

- The smell is not horrible
- The consintency is great

Cons:

- I was burning so much, felt like thousand wasps on my face
- My lips were a little bit swollen
- My face was super red
- I was peeling (but not EXTREMLY; just because i have been using this only for 4 days)
- I just felt like my face is going to "melt away"

I guess I am allergic to BP or my skin is just so sensitive. I wanted it to work! I am so unhappy now. I really believe it works (still), I guess I was just so unlucky. I would say, give a try! It will probably work for you, unless you have sensitive skin. If your skin tends to become red after applying stronger lotions (the ones that containes sal. acid, etc. - "strong" ingridients), you will probably react to BP the way I did. Be careful. And do a little research before trying BP. (The cost I wrote is for the whole kit)

Pros:

Easy system to use.
Liked the moisturizer

Cons:

Made skin irritated,dry, itchy, and burn.
Made lips very dry
Made eyes dry

I really wanted this product to work. I don't think it's a bad product, but I do think that my skin was allergic to something in it. I've used BP before and I new what to expect... drying, peeling, some irritation, etc. The only thing I can conclude is that I must have been allergic or really sensitive to one of the ingredients in the product. My skin felt like it was on fire and it made me really really oily all day. It also made my eyes extremely dry to the point of using eye drops (I did keep the product away from my eyes and lips). I finally had to stop using it.Overall, I think this is a good product for most, but can be troublesome if you have sensitive skin. You should give it a try to see how it works for you.

Pros:

-It works
-It doesn't dry out my skin when used with the acne.org moistuerizer
-Goes on easily

Cons:

-Have to order on line

This product works better than anything I've ever used before, and I've tried a lot of probucts. I only wish that I could buy it in stores. I'm a little impatient and hate waiting for packages in the mail. Plus, it would be nice to not have to pay for shipping everytime. Still....I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is struggling with acne and is getting frustrated with trying to find something that works. If it works this good for me, it could work for you. What else do you have to lose?

Pros:

- Nice consistency
- No extreme over drying
- Works well
- Works fast

Cons:

- Can be a bit drying to some people

This product works. Before I started using it, I was concerned about BP's over-drying effects, considering I don't have oily skin. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I began using it. It slightly dries me out, but the moisturizer definitely takes care of it. Before this product, I was suffering from painful acne on my chin, forehead and cheeks. I've only been using this BP for a few weeks, and my acne has already decreased about 40%, and has started to lighten red marks from old acne. It has definitely positively impacted my confidence. I look forward to continuing the regimen, and getting 100% clear for the first time in 4 years.

and it works (Face and Back)

Cons:

-smells lil funky

-not in stores

-ive tried over the counter stuff like;neutrogena, oxy clean, proactive (worked ok) -i even went to the dermatologist and took: dynocline, rentin A. ect. ( worst mistake of my life) by far this stuff is the best for my face and my body acne, takes about 2 weeks and you definitely need a moisturizer. its not perfect, nothin is, you do get one random pimple once in awhile. but it goes away in less then 2 days ive been using it for a year and i love it. - try it!
