Pros:

This is best BP ive ever gotten, Not loaded with unneccesary chemicals and safe for skin with correct doseage. Made all my pimples disapear so far

Cons:

Cons? hmm... that it isn't sold in stores!

If you've been looking for a Benzyl treatment for your mild acne, this is it!
December 13, 2006

Pros:

Absorbs much better and is not as drying as the only other 2.5% BP product out there, plus is much cheaper.

The only thing that's worked to clear up extensive acne.

Pros:

Excellent staying power, nice consistency, keeps face clear

I love it. I can wear it so thick at night and it dries to make my face feel nice and like it's working hard on the zits. I tried BP for awhile and cleared up but then it stopped working because I didn't use enought. I thought I could go all natural but that was a disaster, and I broke out SO bad. i think you need to use some harsher methods to get clear skin, sorry. Natural products slowly made my face go from bad to WORSE. They tout that going natural will clear your face up, but I think you really need something to kill the bacteria. My face is clear and I feel so much better about myself. i will continue to use this until there is a cure. Having acne is something that someone who has never experienced it will never know what it feels like to feel ugly every time you glance in a mirror (glance because yeah I would never look full on into a MIRROR before!) now I feel fine about that. Get this if you want a clear face, I really think it will work. I have tried everything else.

Pros:

*Product is very mild compared to other benzoyl peroxide products, yet works better than any I've tried. *Basically no fragrance. *Goes on smoothly and does not leave white residue. *Great price for a high quality product. *

Cons:

*It's no secret that benzoyl peroxide can be drying to the skin, especially when first beginning it's use. Besides that, I can't say one bad thing about this product.

Before using this product, I had moderate acne. Now, almost a year and a half later I am virtually always clear, very rarely I'll get a small blemish that heals quickly. As long as a person is not allergic to benzoyl peroxide and is serious about clearing their complexion, I would recommend this to anyone. As a matter of fact, I've given a lot of people info. on this product and the web site to find it. In my opinion, this product is excellent and the regimen is amazing. :o)

Pros:

Good consistency, excellent packaging, cheap price, fast shipping.

Cons:

The regimen is perfect in theory, but runs into problems in practice.

This product works well. This is my 2nd month using it for the regimen. When I am able to take care of my face in an incubated environment (at home, when the boyfriend is out of town, when I'm not working out as much, when I use a clean pillow covering each night), the result is magnificently clearer skin than my normal complexion. However, the problem is that in going about my normal life, my face is subjected to things (pollution, kisses, lots of sweat) that void much of my efforts. Sure I do the regimen w/ careful application of BP twice a day, but sometimes it's not possible to apply BP after my face is subjected to extra bacteria. In theory, BP works for 12 hours between applications but only if you don't move... I can't wash my face after getting kissed on the cheek, talking on the phone for awhile, or wearing a hooded jacket in the middle of the day. It's those things that spread new bacteria which stays there until I can catch it with my next BP application.

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:

This product is great. I have been on the Regimen for about over a year. I really disliked using the Neutrogena because it took so long for it to absorb and it was difficult to apply make-up over it. I have not had this problem with Dan's product.

Cons:

I wish it was sold in stores.

Try this product. It goes on very smooth and will cause very little dryness if you follow the Regimen. Remember ramp up SLOWLY! Dan's regimen worked well for me, but patience is key.

Pros:

works very well; goes on easy with no white film; smells fine; lasts for almost 2 months and nice bottle design haha

Cons:

a little too shiny if putting it on my forehead and nose area but thats usually only at night; can be a bit too drying but still looking to find a really good moisturizer as well; wish they sold it in stores so we wouldn't have to pay for shipping.

Overall a really good medication to fight light to moderate acne. Don't think its really for more severe acne but give it a shot anyway. This really helped my skin out a lot but still need to find a good way to moisturize and also get this layer of dead skin off my face which this stuff contributes to but overall it still works very well and much more affordable then other products.
