Pros:

huge bottle for the price, smells okay, doesn't burn, minimal skin peeling/flaking, spreads easily, dries quickly

Cons:

have to order online

I would definitely recommend this product. I've been using Dan's Starter Kit (cleanser, moisturizer, treatment) + jojoba oil for about a month now and I've really noticed a difference. I'm getting fewer zits, and the ones I do get are much smaller. My skin tone has really improved, and even my scarring is fading, which is probably thanks for the jojoba oil. :)

Pros:

Clears up acne in 2-3 weeks, light, goes unnoticed, and blends well into the skin

Cons:

Can make it worse within the 2-3 week time frame because of the build up of budding acne in the skin, dries out skin

I have been using 10% Benzoyl peroxide as my regular face washing regimen as well as pairing it with a 10% benzoyl peroxide topical gel. After my skin cleared up significantly and I was maintaining clear skin, I thought that I could switch over to a new face wash. That was a bust and my skin is still recuperating from the time I did not follow through with my benzoyl peroxide regimen. I have since gone back to using the BP face wash, AHA toner, and BP topical gel and I am seeing a positive change in my skin.

Pros:

Cleared up my skin

Cons:

Took a long time
stings a little
you have to keep using it

I have had moderate acne since i was 12 (I'm 18) and I've tried almost every over the counter product, plus been perscribed Differin and another product which I forget the name of. Nothing worked long term. I bought this product and used it in combination with Cetaphil face wash and oil free moisturizer from my derm. I followed the regimen exactly and it works AMAZINGLY. The first week or two I noticed a small difference but I figured why not keep going, so I did, and after 6 weeks my skin was clear. When I came home from school my family commented on how clear and beautiful my skin looked. This product is seriously the bomb. You DO have gorgeous skin under your acne and this stuff will make it show. I just went backpacking for a month and couldn't wash my face, so I broke out a little, which shows you have to keep using this stuff. Get the big bottle.

Pros:

- Get rid of acne
- Does not bleach your skin
- Can absorb quickly depending on the amount

Cons:

- Takes discipline to follow the regimen
- Itch my eyes
- Flaky skin at the beginning and dryness.
- Not a total clear skin, still get a pimple once a week here and there.

This is what I tried over the course of my acne past. I had acne for 13 years, and this is the first topical treatment that works for me. - Accutane for one year - Birth control pill which gave me perfect skin - Chinese tea - Pro active - Murad - Epiduo - Being a vegetarian for a month - Some antibiotics given by dermatologists - I tried 5 different dermatologists - Dermalogica - Zenmed - Dr. Hauschka products, organic line - Doing nothing about it The bottom line, is that I have been searching all over for the perfect product to get rid of acne and I still think that Acne.org, really changed my life because I am able to feel good about my skin now. I owe so much to Daniel, and feel so grateful and appreciative that he is able to impact the lives of so many other peeps with acne issues. Strongly recommended to give it a try.

Pros:

it cleared my skin! i was on bp for 2+ years already and trust me, that was 2 years of heaven for me. i still had one to two pimples every two months or so, but that didn't bother me at all.

Cons:

you had to spend at least 10 minutes for the application of bp. but i was willing to do that given its GOOD results. however, it seems like bp isn't working for me anymore.

i've had mild-moderate acne ever since i was 18. i've tried everything and nothing worked. so i remember one evening in 2007, while i was mindlessly surfing on the net on 'successful cures for acne' when i found this site. i read the reviews, and thought, why dont i give it a try? so i did. i remember i broke up during the first 2-3 weeks of this regime. but it was all worth it. after a month or so, my face was CLEAR! and throughout the past two years, i almost forgot how it's like to have pimples anymore. until recently, around a month or so, i broke up like crazy. at the beginning, i thought it was just a minor break out. but nope, it persisted for around a month already and nothing seems to work anymore. :( bottom line is: it DOES work! and i do recommended it. for those who are desperately in need of a 'miracle', here is your chance. it was difficult at the beginning because my skin was SO red and dry that i didn't even want to see anyone. besides that, and as most of you are concerned with, it WILL cause a break out at the beginning. but it's so worth it. and in terms of its lasting, i guess it depends on the individual. for me, it worked for 2 years. :(

Pros:

Overall, good stuff. It cleared me up after consistent use.

Cons:

The effects did diminish over time.

I use this a more of a spot treatment now. It worked fine for awhile, but I suspect that my body started to get use to it. But, I would highly reccomend the treatment to anyone suffering from acne.

Pros:

my skin cleared up fast

Cons:

dryed out my skin in certain areas of my face

i first bought the travel size treatment to see if it would work so i wouldn't spend too much. i finished that bottle in 3 weeks, i followed dans directions AND I COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT THIS. i washed with dove sensitive skin bar. and mosturized w. murad skin perfecting lotion! I RUSHED TO BUY THE BIGGEST BOTTLE OF THIS THEY HAD, i use this twice a day, and in between if i feel like i need a little more on problem areas, THIS PRODUCT WORKS EXTREMELY WELL, TRY IT AND DON'T FORGET TO USE A OIL-FREE LITEWEIGHT LOTION ON DRY AREAS!

Pros:

works
odorless

Cons:

dries out skin
bleaches fabric

I had basically given up on trying to treat my acne (I've tried everything, including proactiv and accutane), but after reading reviews on this product I decided to give it a try. I have been using this for a month and a half so far and the results have been great. (note: I only apply this at night, and follow the application with jojoba oil enhanced moisturizer.) The major con is dry skin, which is no joke. I thought only applying it at night would deter my skin from drying out so much, but the dryness is inevitable (although adding jojoba oil to my moisturizer has helped, I think). So, if you're like me and have given up on treating your acne, please consider trying this product. I still have some scars and my skin is not magically clear, but I have seen a significant improvement in the time I have been using it.

Pros:

not over drying
gel
cheap
large tube (can use a lot)
works!

Cons:

can be a bit irritating
will dry you out a little bit but nothing a moisturizer can't fix
the first few weeks dried me out a lot but my skin got used to it so don't stop using it because it works!

it works. it is irritating at first and will probably dry you out at the first few days or weeks but just use a moisturizer and keep using it because it does help with acne a lot!
