Pros:

nill

Cons:

-will dry your skin out horribly
-doesnt prevent pimples any more effectively than sugar water

i started using this product in the hope i had found a cure for my acne, in reality all i got was dissapointment and horribly dry, and burning skin. i have used many products and never found one that was able to achieve such undesirable results. shame on you daniel kern!

Pros:

seems to help a lot of people
huge tube for the money

Cons:

SEVERE allergic reaction to BP including dizzy spells, headaches and itchiness all over the body.

BP at first was making my face red, itchy and it stung. Then I started getting dizzy spells and lightheadedness (although at the time I didn't think it could possibly be the BP). Then I got a MAJOR pounding headache around my eyes. I couldn't get up to get some water without feeling like I was going to throw up. Then I got itchy ALL over my body! I thought I had bed bugs or body lice or I was going crazy. I thought maybe I had iron deficiency. It turns out all of this was because I'm so sensitive to BP! I can't use it! So dissapointing! I was never allergic to it before! I wish Dan would make a huge tube of something for people who are allergic to BP. *hint* Dan!

Pros:

None

Cons:

-Made acne 5 times worse
-Dried my skin out worse then any other product
-Made my cheeks really red (looks like a sunburn)
-Made my back and neck really itchy and dry
-Expensive with s&h.

I have very sensitive skin, but NOTHING I have ever used has messed up my skin this much (and trust me I have tried almost everything). I was on Proactiv before I started using this and I don't know why it gets such a bad reputation cause it cleared me up a lot but I still had about 5 pimples on my forehead so I switched hoping I would get completely clear, but this did the complete opposite. My acne is way worse then it was before I started using Proactiv, and not only that, my chin and under my nose is extremely dry and its like peeling. I would NOT recommend this to anyone and I don't know why it has such good ratings cause I would have been better off just using soap and water. And it looks cheap and works worse then the cheapest OTC products but its more expensive then most things I've tried, I got the 2-4 month big kit or whatever and it came out to $80 with shipping and handling. So I say don't even waste your time and money with this stuff its some of the worst stuff out there (well for me it is). I don't know why I trusted Dan Kern, hes not a doctor or a famous skin care person, hes just a normal person. I never even heard of him before this stuff, I shouldn't have trusted him :/

Pros:

It looks good at first....in the bottle

Cons:

Makes son flaky and I look older plus bp is also bad for your skin it can cause some skin cancer

If you using this I think you should stop even though it might be working it's going to damage our skin in the future everyone try something natural...

If You want a CHEAP BP that actually works go to rite aid and get the white bottle that says acne gel, It says rite aid on it as well. That stuff works amazingly.!!

Pros:

- The smell is not horrible
- The consintency is great

Cons:

- I was burning so much, felt like thousand wasps on my face
- My lips were a little bit swollen
- My face was super red
- I was peeling (but not EXTREMLY; just because i have been using this only for 4 days)
- I just felt like my face is going to "melt away"

I guess I am allergic to BP or my skin is just so sensitive. I wanted it to work! I am so unhappy now. I really believe it works (still), I guess I was just so unlucky. I would say, give a try! It will probably work for you, unless you have sensitive skin. If your skin tends to become red after applying stronger lotions (the ones that containes sal. acid, etc. - "strong" ingridients), you will probably react to BP the way I did. Be careful. And do a little research before trying BP. (The cost I wrote is for the whole kit)
