Pros:

Results within hours
Huge size

Cons:

None!

The only thing I can say about this product that would be negative was that it dried my skin out the first couple days of using it. But that was because I was so stoked to have it, I slathered it on in generous amounts. User error. It's cleared up my skin noticeably over the past few days. And I haven't noticed any fabric bleaching on my clothes or sheets which is the result with most BP's. It's a way better deal than Proactiv and I feel better buying from Acne.org anyway. My skin profile: 25 year old female. Hormonal cystic jawline and chin acne. Embarrassing!

Pros:

Clears up acne and blackheads. Minimizes pores.

Cons:

My skin became very dry and flaky.

This product is amazing! It cleared up my acne and blackheads and minimized my pores. Even though it does dry your skin out, as long as you have a good moisturizer and use at least a drop of Jojoba oil with your moisturizer it is not even a problem.

Pros:

none

Cons:

dried up my face, skin turned red, skin peeled off

It made my skin red for 3 days. I could barely make any facial expressions those 3 days because so skin was so dry. I applied moisturizer twice a day which didnt seem to help much. Eventually the skin on my whole face peeled off and now its back to normal. I learned my lesson and i stopped using this treatment.

Pros:

works really well to get rid of acne

Cons:

dries suuuuuuuuuuper slowww

this review is from the pump bottle version 8oz that i purchased. It lasted me about 8months wow. i just finished the bottle and i ordered another 8oz in the squeeze bottle. this product works great. i had a major breakout episode last winter after christmas on my cheeks it was pimples that would leave marks after and took forever to heal and this cleared it up with daily use. i apply this to my face after cleansing with clean and clear advantage cleanser with benzoyl peroxide. then i leave it on overnight while i sleep. i make sure to moisturize the areas that i didnt apply the gel in. this product is amazing it works so well i dont know what i would do without it. it will forever be my best friend.

Pros:

Great price when compared to stuff like ProActiv. No bad smells. Worked great for the first month!

Cons:

After the first month it went down hill. It just doesn't seem to do anything now. My skin will not respond to it.

Maybe if you only had very light acne it would work - and continue to work.

Pros:

Cleared up my skin like no other product, I have tried many and have been prescribed different products by dermatologists. Non of them worked as well as this or were as mild on my skin.

Cons:

Dries out skin, and will bleach things that come into contact. Neither aspect is that severe though.

Try it! I have been struggling with nonstop acne for ten years and tried many things. This product finally stopped it. I highly recommend it, I am another skeptical user that does not regret finally taking the jump. My skin was clear in a month, and has remained so. I don't even use one full pump per application!

Pros:

OUTSTANDING PRODUCT!

Cons:

none, switched to all white sheets... no biggie

I'm 34 and have tried every acne treatment- prescriptions (pills, 15+ topical products, 2 rounds accutane), OTC (everything the drug store has) infomercial products (proactiv, murad..), I started the regimen on 10/1 and my skin is almost perfect!! I'm hoping this isn't temporary (like proactiv), it even got me through my monthly breakout with minimal problems. I use the BP and moisturizer morning and night, some days more, some less depending on dryness. The 2.5% neutrogena gives me hyperpigmentation for a few days after use (as does any other BP product) but I get none of these side effects with DK's product. The AHA is a fantastic spot treatment and has cleared any breakout FAST!! THANK YOU THANK YOU and don't you dare sell to a lesser company that will change this product to the other JUNK on the market!!

Pros:

Goes on smooth. Not as rough on skin. Started working within a couple weeks.

Cons:

Dry flakey skin.

I have very sensitive skin and hormonal acne. Irritating products break me out. I've been fallowing Dan's regimen very closely and my skin is almost perfect. I still get small breakouts but they are very minor and go away quickly (if I don't pick at them). I'm able to control the dryness with moisturizer and jojoba oil but I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the flakiness. I was able to apply it twice a day without it being too irritating but I'm trying once a day to control my flakey skin. Overall, better than anything else out there.

Pros:

Cheapest 2.5 BP per ounce to be found anywhere. So much better than the white OTC creams.

Cons:

Very slight temporary antiseptic smell...not even enough to not use the product.

I ordered the whole regimine after trying OTC stuff for several weeks in order to get the best price per ounce. This is such a step up from the white cream in the tiny tubes. So far everything is working really well. You will want to invest in white towels and pillow cases and be dressed before you apply BP. That's ANY BP...not just this product.

Pros:

Feels good on my skin, spreads easily, cleared up blemishes, once your skin is accustomed to it, does not dry out your skin, no odor

Cons:

Drying at first, start off with very small amount and build tolerance to it

Really awesome product. I started off with Neutrogena On-the-Spot while waiting for my order from Dan Kern to arrive. Acne.org's BP blows On-the-Spot way out of the water! The On-the-Spot is chalky, hard to spread, absorbs poorly, dries in streaky clumps. Acne.org's BP is smooth and light, spreads and absorbs easily with no odor. It was a little drying at first, but after my skin got used to it (about a week), the BP almost feels moisturizing. I don't think I've had skin this clear since elementary school. In combination with jojoba oil, the Acne.org moisturizer and the Acne.org AHA+, my skin is as soft as it has ever been --- even my husband noticed!
