Pros:

Almost eradicates acne! Inexpensive.

Cons:

Drying, but that's BP for you.

Over the years I have tried many different benzoyl peroxide brands. Before I went on the regiment I was using ProActiv brand and then Neutrogena brand. I ordered this stuff, and it is the BEST of the bunch. It slides on easily (like lotion), absorbs easily, does not leave any WHITE residue, and is CHEAP.

Pros:

works, clears blemishes!

Cons:

flaky skin under makeup

i'm on my third week on the regimen and having great results so far!! i'm also using AHA cream so it's helping to dry out the blemishes. i have oily, uneven, acne-prone skin. i have a busy schedule and i'm glad that i finally feel like i can be out all day, and i dont have to come home to a big ole pimple!! for makeup remover im also using pond's microdermabrasion wet cloths before washing my face. if used correctly, and with patience (a month or more) this regimen will do wonders. if you've already tried everything else, this is definitely worth it than spending OVER a hundred bucks on crap that wont work

Pros:

Light, goes on smoothly, didn't dry me out, no fragrance.

Cons:

Broke me out badly with cystic acne all along my jawline and chin.

I thought using this product would make my acne from moderate to light, but it's the complete opposite. It made my skin worse and I DID follow the steps just like Dan. Believe me, parents were wondering why I was taking so long on my face. I really wish I would of never started this product, now I'm recovering from the WHITE large bumps, the cystic acne and red dots. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Others have seen results, but mine just kept getting worse and worse. Use tea tree oil or the dessert essence desert blemish stick. It gets rid of my cysts from the DKR w.in 2-3 days.

Pros:

This is the best product I have EVER used!! Clears up pimples within a few days and help prevent them!

Cons:

No Cons!

I had Acne as a teenager and had gone to a dermatolgist, she of course wanted me to go on accutane, once I heard the side effects it scared me at 16, I tried several other products with no success. Eventually my acne went away and I attributed to being a teenager. When I turned 25 my acne came back, but was much worse! I tried EVERYTHING.. differn gerl, proactic, vitamins, expensive department store products and etc. Nothing worked for me... I stumbled on to this site looking for reviews on other products. Still frustrated with nothing working I started searching this site more and found the store.. I thought hmm, it's inexpensive what do I have to lose? and I ordered the product. After about 2 weeks I had people complimenting on how good my skin looked and wanted to know what I was using. I was so excited to find something that final works! You have saved me! It's so awesome to find something so great!

Pros:

I have been fighting adult onset acne for 15 years. This is the ONLY product that has cleared it up and kept it clear! Even treatments using accutane were not effective. This is the BEST acne treatment!

Cons:

I haven't found any cons yet.

If you struggle with acne, try this... I was frustrated until I found this product.

Pros:

totally clears acne....even cystic acne!!!!!

Cons:

cant really think of any, wish it was available to buy in the UK but apart from that nothing else

I am 34 and have suffered with severe cystic acne on my chin and jaw line since I was 16. I (like everyone else) have tried every "miracle" product and prescription treatment available and NOTHING WORKED! I saw Dans Regimin product and thought "what the hell, I have nothing to lose". I didn't actually think it would work!!!! After a few weeks I noticed that the cysts I had were going down and my boyfriend noticed that new ones weren't appearing as often as they usually did. I have been using Dans products for just under a year now. I am now totally acne free for the first time in my adult life. It's absolutely wonderful. I recommend it to everyone that will listen. If you're reading this and feel desperate (like I used to) buy it - you won't regret it. Give it time and it WILL WORK !!!!!!! Good luck x

Pros:

Very effective BP gel. Absorbs into skin and gets rid of acne if used consistently.

Cons:

Flakiness and dryness (but that is reversed with the use of a moisturizer)

Best BP product I've found yet. It is light and non-greasy and most importantly, it is a gel so it's very easily absorbed into the skin with no white marks after application. Like all BP, it causes flakiness and dryness but that can be mitigated with moisturizer.

Pros:

Works for me, smooth and easy to apply, lasts way longer (2 squirts day and night) than your average tube of BP, smell reminds me of my ex.

Cons:

Smell reminds me of my ex :(

All jokes aside, it does what every other BP treatment has failed to do and that's clear up most of my pimples BETTER and without the white residue. I used to have many tiny bumps which would scar, but after a few months of using this they're all gone and now I only deal with a few pimples. If you have time in your morning routine and you have acne, give it a try.

Pros:

Good size, works for me, gel consistency

Cons:

cannot be bought in stores, the pump does not make it travel-friendly

I had small acne, but there wasn't a day I didn't have at least one. And I noticed my skin getting worse as I get older. This helped me within a week! I got a few break outs but they healed in a matter of two days! I like this over the cream for one major reason, it doesn't sting my face. I think I am allergic to bp and the cream (I used Neutrogena) made my face so red and painful, I could only use it every other day. In the day I was peeling a LOT too. With the gel, it not only is easier to apply, it doesn't leave a white film over your face and I can use it everyday (although only once a day because it makes my skin sting a little). I have to use NIVEA Soft cream as moisturizer cause everything else is not moisturizing enough. The only small con: the pump can't be closed and recently while travelling I had to take the pump out, and close the bottle with plastic because I put a brand new unopened bottle in my luggage and it opened.
