Pros:

EVERYTHING

Cons:

Having to struggle with my parents to actually believe this isn't some other internet junk acne thing. Show them the reviews, including this one, and maybe they'll change their minds. I'm 16.

REALLY doesn't dry your skin as much as other 2.5% BP's. I was using Proactiv BP for my first couple of weeks or so, and it dried me out terribly. When I got this gel the other day, I could use so much more BP, without getting as close to being dry as if I were to use the Proactiv BP. I can use a full dosage, and my skin will dry up and flake a tad, but that's only because of the cold weather right now i suppose.

Pros:

less drying and irritating than other BPs (proactiv), absorbs well when used as recommended, great price.

Cons:

none, other than the standard initial complaints about BP.

If you follow the regimen every day, exactly like Dan suggests, it will work. The begining is tough because BP irritates the skin and its hard not to want results immediately. Once your skin starts clearing, you have to have the time and patience to rub the BP gel in, even though it takes a while. I started the regimen with proactiv, because I already had it. I switched to Dan's gel after about a month and the difference was huge. This gel absorbs better, is less irritating, and is more effective. Its also cheaper than other options that won't work as well.

Pros:

Gel is vastly superior to Neutrogena creme, glides on and soaks in so the medicine can get right to work.

Cons:

None whatsoever.

LOVE IT!

Pros:

glides on smoothly, unscented, no white flakiness like clearasil, affordable, earth- and animal- friendly.

this works wonderfully with the rest of the regimen at keeping my skin clear. i'm so glad that i discovered dan kern's products... i was still breaking out at 32 y.o., but got it under control with this bp gel and the rest of the regimen. this is the best stuff that i've ever used. thank you, dan!!

Pros:

Goes on well and feels clean. No redness or flaking.

Cons:

Works for a while but not completely.

I tried it for a few weeks, and it seemed to be working. However, when I went off the dermatologist prescribed solodyn, the regimen was definitely not enough. It's helpful, but only if used with other medications.

Pros:

Easy to use. No residue.

Cons:

Takes some patience to apply.

Much better than anything else on the market. Does take some time to apply, but having used Dan's regimen for 5 years, and now his BP gel for over a year, I'm very satisfied.

Pros:

Works well, no white residue, goes on smooth, hardly drying at all, dirt cheap for xsuch a large size

Cons:

almost none, except that it takes a little long to absorb and smells kinda funny

Great product, well worth the very cheap price. I heard some say that they broke out or had a reaction to it, but that didn't happen with me. Just clearer skin within days. I highly recommend this over any other BP, and I've used most of them.

Pros:

This bp gel blends very well into my skin and it does not ball up. Most importantly, with the exception of a few little ones every so often, I am clear and people can't even believe I ever had a problem with acne!

Cons:

I get a little dry but that is to be expected and my moisterizer ( Lac- Hydrin 5 plus a few drops of Jojoba oil) takes care of it.

This is the shining star of my regimen. It has cleared me up the way nothing else has done. You have to give it a couple of weeks to really purge your skin, but it is soooooo worth it.
