Pros:

Gel consistency, low dosage of benzoyl peroxide so it doesn't dry out skin, better value for your money compared to other products.

Cons:

The biggest concern with this product for me is you have to be careful when applying due to bleaching. Other than that, it's perfect.

This stuff is amazing. I think this stuff should be sold in stores worldwide, and needs to replace all the garbage we see in stores now. While I don't follow the regimen as Dan recommends, this product worked to get rid of my light acne within two weeks. I apply a dime sized amount morning and night and this works for me. Please give this a try, you won't be sorry

Pros:

Acutally works when used as directed!

Cons:

Application time.
Dyes fabrics.
Some flakeing, but not to bad when a moistureizer is also used.

I have been suffering with acne for 15 years now and this is the only product that i have found to be effective. In fact, i have found it to be nearly 100% effective. Despite the shipping costs and application times, i would NEVER even consider useing a different product. I would suggest that all new users watch the videos on this website, and follow them to the letter in order to honestly evaluate the products effectiveness.

Pros:

It works! It's not expensive. It doesn't take long to receive the product.

Cons:

It takes time to clear the skin (as stated in the instructions) and obviously, everyone wants to be clear NOW!

It took me the full 8-12 weeks to be completely clear but I'm so happy I stuck with it. I've tried everything a dermatologist can provide, including two sessions of Accutane, which cleared my skin for a few years but eventually the acne returned. I was desperate when my derm. suggested another Accutane treatment! I refused to be put on that stuff again. I have also tried many of the other strategies/shortcuts mentioned on this site because I didn't believe that something as simple as a BP treatment could possibly improve my condition after all the doctor prescribed treatments failed. Bottom line...I purchased the BP, moisturizer and AHA and use them in conjunction with Herpanacine (see reviews under supplements) and I'm completely clear!! I told you I was desperate so I took a two-prong approach to clearing the acne. I used Dan's three products on my face only so the Herpanacine and Dan's AHA alone cleared my back. My gratitude goes to Dan and the man who created Herpanacine. If you decide to try it, which I strongly recommend you do, do not shortchange yourself by giving up too early. Give it the full 12 weeks to see improvement. Oh, and follow Dan's instructions exactly, just as he recommends.

Pros:

Great size, Non-Scented, Easy to use

Cons:

Will dry skin out if used too often

This product works great! I have been using it along with the rest of the system (ie: cleanser and mosturizer) for about 3 months and have seen major improvement with my skin. My first week using the treatment I had problems with my skin drying out. But once I started focusing on my t-zone and checks (which are my problem areas), instead of smearing it on my whole face, the dry-ness subsided.

It will change your skin's life
I'm 20 with border line moderate acne. I've had acne since middle school! I've been there tried that and everything failed. Finalllyyyyyy I have found my holy grail. This stuff is very drying at first and it may be annoying, especially if you wear make up (little rough patches will be normal at first). But if you stick to it and remember to never skip the moisturizer, your skin will transform completely. Not only is my acne 95% cleared up, but the texture of my skin has changed in such little time. I thank the AHA moisturizer for that part. I can't believe my skin could look this good again! Please give it a try if your looking for a solution and be patient and positive and follow the regimen religiously (:. Also, diet and stress are a big contribution to your acne. Following the regimen but eating horribly and not having the best hygiene (I.e dirty pillow cases and sheets) will not clear up your acne. Excercise, eat a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and follow the regimen and you will notice a difference!!

Pros:

good acne preventive
gel is smooth and applies nicely

Cons:

drying, but use moisturizer

For BP, I think this is the best formula I have tried. I am 38 and still dealing with skin issues..my skin is extremely sensitive and I have mild rosasea. Using this product nightly, applying as indicated by the directions, keeps my acne very manageable. I use only at night, since I use the rosacea cream in the AM. If I stray from using it, I do pay for it with little breakouts. For spot treatments, I dab Proactiv acne drying mask on them, and that does well for me. For mosturizer, I am currently using Cerave--in the the PM and the AM.

Pros:

Actually works.
Bottle lasts forever, which helps with the shipping costs.

Cons:

Will dry your face out initially.
Can irritate sensitive areas.

I was very hesitant to try the Acne.org regimen. I've used so many disappointing products over the years. One day I decided to just try it and am so happy I did. The product will cause your face to flake, especially if your skin is not use to chemicals (mine wasn't). Be mindful of this going in and apply it in small amounts. I didn't start applying the recommended dosage until after 3 months. Even with the small dosages my face instantly began to clear up. I have (had) a smallish patch of cystic acne on one cheek and a large cyst on the other cheek. Other than that my face is generally clear, with occasional outbreaks. The product fixed all of the extraneous blemishes and about 5 months in, the cystic patch is virtually gone. The cyst on my other cheek is completely gone! A couple of other pointers- really try not to pick at your face. I was the worst about that, and when I finally forced myself to stop, was when I noticed obvious improvements with the cystic patch. At this point, my face is virtually clear and the texture and evenness of my skin has really evened out. This is a great line of products. I highly highly recommend it! You won't be disappointed!

Pros:

It's gentle
effective
doesn't over dry your skin
no burning or harmful side efffects
it's AMAZING!

Cons:

None!

I have suffered with acne for as long as I could remember. And when everyone grew out of their teenage years and the acne went away mine never did. I truly had given up on an effective product and was weary of trying this one because I had burned my skin before using Benzoyl Peroxide. But I can tell you I have severely sensitive skin and this amount is all you and is just right. My skin has NEVER LOOKED BETTER! Try it! If you suffer from acne and you have sensitive skin like I do, I feel your pain. Nothing works and when it does it hurts...this product elminates all of that! It's amazing and works incredibly. I wanted to share my story because I'm truly a success. This product works and I am a customer for life!!

Pros:

Great Texture
Goes on smooth, silky vs. Neutrogena On the spot tx.
Works great with moisturizers
Has greatly improved my skin (acne) within the 1st few days. with continued used I can tell I will still continue to see great improvement.

Cons:

Mild burning when I first started treatment. Usually goes away within 5 or so minutes.
Makes my skin a tad bit dry w/ mild flaking, but nothing compared to Neutrogena on the spot tx.

I would say yes definetly give this a whirl..it doesn't cost too much and the shipping was really fast. I rec'd my package within 2 days. The bottle is a very good size and even w/ the 3 pump use, it should last awhile. I can't rave enough about the texture of this BP. I was using Neutrogena on the Spot treatment before and had to use in very small amounts because it would dry so quickly. My skin does very well with this gel texture. I've noticed some mild breakouts but my old one's are clearing up quite nicely and with continued use I feel they will slowly clear as well.

Pros:

No scent
Cleared up acne
Works great as an overnight spot treatment
A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS :)

Cons:

NONE.

This product is magical! Like a lot of you, I tried every product from every company and despite the promises to clear 100% of acne I found myself either worse off or with no change at all. I came to Acne.org to find reviews on other products and when I found out Dan sold products I decided to give it a try. I have a sensitive face so I had about 2 weeks worth of peeling, itching and burning while trying to get used to the BP but once that subsided I was able to look into the mirror for the first time in my life and feel confident. I got compliments left and right from people I didn't even know and I felt so good about myself. I'm going to be using this product for the rest of my life, I love it so much! P.S. I know how extremely uncomfortable it can be during the time period that you're skin is trying to get used to the BP but please believe me when I say DON'T GIVE UP! Your skin will eventually get used to it and all of your acne will be gone for good. Just hang in there and good luck to everyone who is suffering with acne, it will get better :)
