Pros:

THE treatment for acne
Inexpensive
Odorless

Cons:

Bleaches clothes.
Skin looks terrible during first few weeks.
Have to keep using it.

Been having problems with acne since high school. After less than 2 months using this product, it clears up completely. Works like magic! Thanks Dan!

Pros:

Really dries up current acne, prevents future acne. I've been on for 9 weeks and I still had red dots, from old acne, but no new acne.

Cons:

Dried my face terribly, don't like the fact the bottle says ACNE.ORG on it, I rip of the label... Also you have to put a ton on. However, I would reccomend it.

Get, moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Do not quit early, give it 4 months before deciding to quit.

Pros:

nice under makeup, helps clear acne, helps prevent acne, no odor, cheap, easy to dispense, good consistency, absorbs into skin quickly.

Cons:

can dry out skin/cause flaky skin even after a month of using it.
still break out a little.

five months ago, using this, i'd be acne free. the problem with me is that as i fight my acne, and i get a hold of better products and form a better regimen to clear my skin, my acne is getting worse. but, i recommend it. works well, not perfectly, as expected. i like it a lot. nice under makeup.

Pros:

It took a long while for this product to work on me. I usually keep with products for at least 6-12 months before making a decision. This nearly took the 6 months to finally take effect, but now my skin is so clear.

Cons:

The packaging. I miss the old tube packaging. It was easier to get out. The product also bleaches my hair and towels.

Great product. I recommend it to anyone with acne. Hell, I go up to random people with horrible acne and suggest it. I had the worst acne and this stuff is brilliant. It can bleach all my towels and turn my hair white as long as it keeps working.

Pros:

Your face will become clear in few days, its cheaper than other acne products, earlier acne scars will become light with regualr use..

Cons:

It may be allergic to some people, have to use consistently to see the results

I simply love this product.. I had moderate acne on my face but the pimples used to leave a mark which would take years to go.. With this product not only my Pimples have become zero but the scars also are almost gone.. I simply love this product... it has given me a new confidence.. everyone can notice the difference in my skin.. people compliment my skin all the time.. :-) i have never been happier with my skin before this ...

Pros:

Works GREAT. Acne fades completely.

Cons:

For the first week my skin cleared up but about a week and a half in a had the worst breakout everrr but it only lasted about 4 days then its been all clear from then on.

I consider this an acne CURE. Refridgerating the BP and mosturizer feels great!

Pros:

Huge tube! Goes on smooth and doesn't dry out my skin.

Cons:

Not available in stores.

This stuff works great! My skin began clearing up immediately and after a few months I wasn't having break outs anymore at all! Then I ran out of it and started using the neutrogena stuff again and within a week I have a huge zit!!! Lesson learned, I will make sure to order before I run out next time!

Pros:

This stuff is amazing. No smell, no mask-like feeling, so easy to apply!

Cons:

My only complaint is that when I received it, it was frozen solid in the tube...but that's what you get with FedEx in February, I guess. :P

I will never go back to another BP product. Thanks SO MUCH for creating this!

Pros:

The gels clears up zits you may already have and keeps them away. I still have a hormonal breakout one a month but it heals in 3 days and I can still keep it under control.

Cons:

should be sold in stores
takes a while to apply
doesn't work as well as on-the-spot I think

I've had acne for 7 years and since I started the regimen my skin has improved dramatically. I used to have severely moderate acne and "bad skin" but now I think it has improved to "good skin." I am usually clear or only have 1-3 little red spots that clear up quickly. I went to so many derms that seemed to pick medicines out of thin air and had no idea what they were doing. Be patient and give it a shot! Don't forget to moisturize; I have oily skin but it helps!

Pros:

Far superior to cream.

Cons:

None

This is the way to go as far as BP. I don't know why anyone would ever use the cream version. This goes on so easily, and you don't have to worry about your face being white. It also takes about 1/3 of the time to apply compared to cream. Awesome stuff.
