Pros:

worked right away. Easy to apply. Fragrance free.

Cons:

skin irritated initially, but got used to it after a week.

My face is fine, rarely get pimples. But my back would get a lot. I searched all over the web for a solution to this. After different product combination, i came down to using neutregena body was, Dan's BP and AHA cream. And honestly, the results could not have been better. Its been two weeks, and not a single pimple has formed on my back. The AHA cream seems to be speeding up the healing of the marks from acne (not scarring, i dont get those kind of pimples). I figure at this rate, within a few more months my back will look great. I hope this product never discontinues, it has given me a reason to go the beach this summer without my shirt.

Pros:

Clears up face.
Not expensive compared to prescription acne products.

Cons:

Very drying
Takes a long time to dry, then apply moisturizer at night when I really just want to go to bed.

I really think this is amazing. It's so ironic that something over the counter like benzoyl peroxide can work better than prescriptions. It says that it may take a couple of weeks to see results; I saw results after the first night I used it. For real. I really like their cleanser as well, but it could be replaced with something like Cetaphil. The moisturizer isn't anything special, so I think you should use whatever over the counter brand you like best. But the jojoba oil works really well too. Point being, this works fantastic.

Pros:

Cleared ALL of my acne
Gentle
Free of any other crappy ingredients

Cons:

I can't buy it at Walmart?

I'm willing to bet my left pinky that this is the BEST topical treatment you can have for acne at the moment. I came a long way to find Dan's BP and looks like I'm finally home! Some people give bad reviews saying how it irritates/dries them. Suck it up! BP is supposed to do that but after the initial bump, the results are phenomenal! If regimen didn't work for you, you did it wrong!

Pros:

Calms my skin down right away, even when I feel an inflammatory spot starting, this will calm it down and stop it from getting worse. My face just feels healthier now, and I'm not getting any peeling like I did with 10% BP. So I'm a convert ot the 2.5%, and this really is the best bang for your buck (no fragrances, fillers, or acne-causing ingredients like in Clearasil).

Cons:

Takes a while to dry; can be drying if used without moisturizer.

Please keep making this product, my face really likes it!

Pros:

Clear and smooth

Cons:

Made me break out more
Clumps under the moisturizer
Hard to put makeup on top of it

I paid 8 bucks for shipping for a bottle of BP hoping that it would clear my horrible acne. Instead, I broke out even more after a month of us and I got new scars on my face now. I followed the regimen religiously, which involves Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer. It's what he recommended before he decided to make money out of it. Worse yet, it clumps under with the moisturizer and makeup. Nothing like he promised about it being smooth as a gel. If you are not applying anything on top of it, then it's a good clear product. It was a total waste of my money.

Pros:

Seemed to slow down active acne inflammation

Cons:

Very drying, Allergic reaction & isn't available at a local store

It's really a shame because I was looking forward to using this product. However upon trying it I had a BAD allergic reaction with my eyes. I can use the product around my face as long as I don't use a lot and not around my eyes so It defeats the purpose of the regimen. It does slow down active acne from growing in size and would probably work well for those who don't have sensitive skin.

Pros:

clears up skin

Cons:

read down there!

okay, so i have tried EVERYTHING out there, in fact, my search for a good treatment made me want to be a dermatologist so that no one has to go through this. anywaysss, i bought this BP and tried it for about a week, it completely dried out my face and i could barely move my mouth, so i quit using it. then i came back on the site and read more about it. i decided to buy the jojoba oil and give it another shot, the jojoba oil was awesome, however i still had major flakes. so i was thinking that maybe the pure BP was a bit too harsh on my skin, so i mixed the BP, olay moisturizer, and jojoba oil together and gave it a third go. worked like a charm! so basically the point of the story: if its too drying for you then mix it with a moisturizer. i promise it will work!

Pros:

Clears up acne from hours to days, works really,extremely fast, Best acne treatment ever no doubt!. Cheaper than most acne treatments.

Cons:

It takes soo long to dry

I've been using alot of acne treatments for the last 3 years or so and never was satisfied to any of it. I've used Proactiv solution for about a year but never worked as what i expected it to be. Proactiv never really cleared up my face which they actually claim to be the best acne treatment worlwide. I wasn't satisfied with the results so i decided to use Dan's regimen and after 2 weeks i quickly took the phone and cancelled my proactiv account and ended up refunding my proactiv. This stuff is just tottaly amazing!!! I recommend it to everyone and surely you would never ever move to any other products one you have tried this!

Pros:

It has cleared up my cystic acne. For me it actually absorbs into my skin fairly quickly and it does not ball up or get clumpy under moisturizer. I use the large pump bottle, so it is also easy to know exactly how much product to use (2 pumps worth). I live in Canada, so the shipping was also quite quick, and I just used the regular mail shipping option.

Cons:

It is very drying, so find a good moisturizer. In the beginning your skin may get worse before it gets better - but don't give up! It will also 'bleech' your towels and clothes it you are not careful. If I got some of the product too close to my eyes, they would get a little irritated and get a little watery.

I have fairly severe cystic acne, mostly on my chin. I have had some success with similar products before (proactiv, other BP creams etc.) but nothing has worked as good as this. I believe it's because of the amount of the product that you need to use and giving the product time to work. In the beginning, my skin actually got a lot worse then normal. I'm on my third month now and have had clear skin (ie. no new blemishes, big or small) for a few weeks. This was unheard of for me before. I used to get a new pimple every day or two, and they were usually large inflamed cysts. I'm really thankful for all the hard work in getting the product made, and for everyone's reviews. For anyone wondering if they should try it - the answer is yes!

Pros:

-Smooth and easy to apply
-Clears up acne fast!

Cons:

-Drying
-Can cause serious flakes if you don't use a good moisturizer

This is the best Benzoyl Peroxide on the market, period. I started Dan's regimen a few months ago and my skin has never looked better. This BP is drying (they all are) but with a good moisturizer (I use Dan's) and a lot of jojoba oil the dryness is easy to control. I honestly think this is the best acne medication available. As long as you use this and moisturize religiously you will see an big improvement in your skin-- trust me, I've tried everything, and this has by far given me the best results.
