Pros:

The consistency is really nice and it dries clear.

Cons:

IT. JUST. DIDN'T. WORK.

I waited for about 6 weeks and expected to at least see results withint the first month, but NOTHING! I was really disappointed because i had read all of the success stories and was really hoping this treatment would work. If anything, this treatment made my acne MUCH WORSE. If this worked for you, great, but i wouldn't risk it. I switched back to my original regimen which was Oxy 10 Face Wash and Clean & Clear's 10% treatment because it has worked for me before. Good luck to anyone suffering with acne. It's a horrible thing to go through.

Pros:

Cheap, affordable, feels good on the skin, big hype on the product

Cons:

Didn't work for my type of acne, my pores were getting more full of sebum (white stuff), Proactiv did the same thing to my pores

Younger I tried accutane and its the best of all the acne treatment. I used Proactiv for over 3 years with good to average result so I made a change so I tried this treatment, no big breakouts it work good, but my acne is mainly only whitestuff inside my pores that make my skin rough and bumpy, no red bumps and minimal black heads. I think that benzoil peroxide no longer works for me, but I see the hype on this product. Now I'm on Clearpores starting for 3 months, salicic acid is maybe gonna work better, I'm also on minocin wich is mainly made to maintain somewhat of a good skin doesn't imrove or worsen skin

Pros:

Spreads very well compared to Acne On the Spot which makes it very difficult to be super gentle.

Doesn't leave my skin white afterwards like On the Spot did either. Most importantly, it helped clear up a VERY severe, debilitating breakout I ha

Cons:

None.

This is the cornerstone of the regimen. To get clear you will need a lot of benzoyl peroxide and Dan has been kind enough to provide it in generous 8 and 16 oz bottles. Great product! Use this product and you will get the results you want!

Pros:

consistency, how it absorbs into the skin, ability to stop acne in its tracks!

Cons:

NONE!

i used to use on-the-spot BP from another company and it was by far inferior to Dan's product! i didn't use enough of it, it didn't absorb...it was just a mess. however, dan's BP 2.5% is just amazing. only after 3 weeks of using this as well as the entire regimen by dan, i can officially say that i don't have one pimple! i had moderate acne (about 15-20 active pimples at one time). i will tell you that i didn't think this was going to work...after all, i have tried everything just like you. but it did -- BELIEVE IT CAN FOR YOU, TOO! i wouldn't walk, i would RUN to get your wallet to purchase this stuff. i'm a real person. feel free to contact me at my user name on the board. i couldn't be happier to share the news and any tips that i have encountered. you don't have to live with acne. and when i tell you that this is worth a shot, i mean it.

Pros:

Great consistency, quality, cost effectiveness, and results. Dan's BP is the best BP on the market, in my opinion.

Cons:

The only drawback I can even come up with is being limited to buying the product online, and having to pay shipping. Shipping to my location (FL) is nearly half the cost of the item itself. As for the product itself, I don't think there are any cons.

I've had moderate acne for years, 13 to be exact. Unlike most, however, I haven't used anything for it other than SA or BP. I'd resorted to spot treating with 10% BP and hoping for the best. Obviously, that really never worked. I came across this site about 3 years ago and ordered the BP, followed the regimen, and my skin was perfectly clear within 3 weeks, for the first time in my life. I've used Dan's BP every day since then, and found that by applying it morning and night, I don't have to use the super thick layer like I did at first, but my skin still responds to it just as well. I still do have breakouts around my cycle, but they are nowhere near as severe as they were without this BP, and I enjoy clear skin the rest of the time. I do wear makeup, but I have found that by applying it under my makeup, it helps keeps my skin clear. For any of you ladies wearing makeup, give it a try. I also use Dan's moisturizer and jojoba oil, mixed, for moisturization, and the cleanser. Perfect!

Pros:

Clears Acne!

Cons:

Dryness but nothing moisturizer cant fix

This is the best stuff! I have only been using it for a week and already my acne is clearing up! After having a very terrible experience with Murad which left me depressed and often days crying because it made my skin so bad, Daniel Kern's BP is working miracles! I've been following the instructions, starting out with a small amount and gently rubbing on face after cleansing. It leaves my skin a little dry, which is to be expected, but I just use the moisturizer about 15 minutes later and it clears up that problem instantly. I wish I would have found this site sooner , It would have saved me the emotional strain and not to mention the strain of my pocketbook. Thanks so much Daniel Kern!

Pros:

A bit of work to do the regimen and took a while for results - but am now so happy I stuck it out, has worked wonders and I think the BP is the main reason! Switched to this from a drug store brand and it is far superior - seems more pure for sure.

Cons:

Of course, have to work your way up, and yeah some nights it is a pain in the butt and my boyfriend thought I was crazy taking forever to rub this in and not letting him touch me for fear of bleaching his clothes. Annoying, but worth it.

Sometimes I do just want to skip my BP because its a messy, time-consuming endeavour but then I remember how vastly improved my skin has been lately! I go to work most days with no makeup, something I wouldn't have even considered for running to the corner store a few months ago. My skin is also just so much smoother which makes it easier when I do want to apply my mineral makeup. The smell of Dan's BP is a little medicinal - but honestly I like that because I know its a really high grade and will be pure on my skin. The consistency is fairly runny but you will get used to it and find it helpful once you're piling on globs of the stuff. I only bought the 8oz. size (old pump version) and it has lasted me close to 3 months while I was trying it out - will definitely invest in the huge size now! (Although I wish there wasn't the big ACNE label on it!) Bottom Line - thanks Dan and everyone with advice on this site!

Pros:

Does what benzoyl peroxide is supposed to do, easily applied (although, with the regimen amount, it does take some time), cheap and packed in large quantity.

Cons:

The pump packaging of the 16 oz version is very annoying when the product starts to run low and air enters the pump.

Bleaching. This is a major flaw with benzoyl peroxide in general, but something that can be minimized with caution.

This is definitely the best benzoyl peroxide product I've tried. It's important that you stick to it and strictly follow the (somewhat slow) accustoming process by starting with a small amount once a day and then upping to full amount followed by full amount twice a day. Also, it's very important with a good, rich moisturiser - especially if you have dry skin tendencies. Finally, be very careful with clothing since benzoyl peroxide will bleach. Specifically endangered are shirt collars and other clothing that sits tight around your neck.

Pros:

No horrible smell, works beautifully, spreads nicely.

Cons:

Only con is that you have to order it online!

I love this. It's the best BP I have ever used. The best thing is that it doesn't smell horrible like other BP products. And it works like a charm. I will definitely order more once I run out. :)
