Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Cons:
if you scratch your face after using it , you will find white things on your face but overall its kinda cheap , and good .
its worth it to buy . i have been using OXY 10 but it helps little (VERY LITTLE) i got frustrated and bought a new pimple cream which was T3 it helped a little but its not worth it as you pay $5+ for not clearing up acne . so next i tried Clearasil , it sucks it doesn't do anything for me ! so i tried neutrogena on the spot and it works in less than 1 week ! So it really helps ! just down scratch your face after that :)

Cons:

August 25, 2009
Pros:
Took my acne from moderate to very light. Keeps my complexion fair. Cleared up my blackheads combined with regular exfoliation.
Cons:
Didn't prevent my hormonal acne (which I expected, and can deal with). Must be worn with some form of sunscreen during the day.
I have been using Oxy Acne Vanishing Treatment 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide for Sensitive Skin for more than a year. My skin has never looked better. It goes on smooth, vanishing completely on the skin. Slowly but surely reducing blackheads, preventing large acne breakouts and keeps skin feeling smooth. Just make sure you were makeup or sunscreen if you were it in the sun (I wear it in the morning and night). You'll get a sunburn if you're not careful.

Product used: Solugel (Benzoyl Peroxide (4%) Gel)
Pros:
works better than many BP's that i have tried. Also helps with oily skin. I actually received a compliment today at work, which is what made me decide to write this review.
Cons:
can be strong, especially if you are not used to BP, - so try it only once a day to start or don't use as much. I find that you don't need as much as in Dan's regimen. Also has a little bit of a "gritty" feeling, but doesn't really bug me.
Give it some time (at least a week to start). i don't know why people waste their time giving products horrible reviews when they only used the product for "a day or two". anything takes time! Remember to moisturize and you are good to go. Recently, i been doing the following. morning:
Dan's wash, THEN Dan's BP (as it is lighter at 2.5%), THEN I moisturize with Complex 15 (i.e. really good stuff, doesn't sting and is oil-free) about 20 minutes later night:
Dan's Wash (and yes, it takes off my makeup) THEN i apply Solugel THEN i moisturize (as in the AM). My skin has cleared fabulously!!!

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Aquagel)
Pros:
in the first two days i saw a slight difference, it really opened my pores and got that cr@p outa there.
Cons:
none if you read the directions and dont get it in your eyes/nose/mouth
great, ive tried a bunch of stuff and combos and it feels awesome to see progress so quickly.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
No doubt that it works, skin totally clear of blemishes within a few days
Cons:
Much too harsh for older skin (mid 30's), skin never got used the drying effect and made skin look old and dull
I order all 3 items from Dan's regimen and bottom line is, it works. However if you are suffering from mild to moderate adult acne like me and also want to avoid skin aging at the same time, this is not the solution. If I had discovered this in my teens, it would have bee a revolution and I'm sure my more resilient young skin would have coped better with the drying effects, However despite giving this a good go (4 weeks), my skin was unbearably sore and dry. Having done further research due to my skin just not acclimatising to the bp, there is also some risk of aging and being in my 30's it's a risk I didn't want to take! So overall, younger skin, give this a go, there is no doubt it is highly effective. Older skin, I would not recommend this at all, however do not despair, I also ordered the 10% aha and that has been fanastic!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
It does a very good job of clearing your acne and keeping it away! I am a regular teenager with horomonal changes who USED to have acne afte using this i have clear, almost perfect skin. Thanks Clean and Clear!
Cons:
Kinda dries your skin out, which is good for pimples but bad for regular skin so use a moisturizer.
USE IT. YOU'LL HAVE CLEAR ACNE FREE SKIN!

Product used: DDF (Benzoyl Peroxide Gel 5% with Tea Tree Oil)
Pros:
give it time but u will see changes in the firt week dont worry
Cons:
the first time you will use it you'r skin will be red not all your skin only the effected areas just for 3 days
This product is the best thing I used for my acne till now I saw changes on my skin in the first 2 days, I thought nothing could cure my acne I was so depresed but this product really helped me you apply it only on the effected areas at night and dont put alot of it on you'r skin.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
if you're acne-prone, this is a good product to make your pimples disappear. best if you use it daily because it keeps new pimples from forming as well as doing away with old pimples.
Cons:
drying effect causes skin to burn/crack in dry weather. use moisturizer after applying the cream.
it's a great product if you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on other acne treatments like proactiv, philosphy, or other dermatology treatments. I've tried them all and I think clearasil is the best bang for the buck to make your pimples disappear!

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
-It has actually worked for me!
-Not bad in price. 20 dollars USD for a kit (cheaper than some prescription drugs)
Cons:
-Can't find it in Canada :/
-Indeed, not a miracle cure
-Didn't work till over a week or so?
My face has never been acne free. In middle school I had bad acne. In high school I started using Benzoyl peroxide and all though it helped my face still had a lot of pimples. I have tried some perscription items like clindoxyl gel, clindasol, and bezamycin but they never really helped that much. But since using Acnefree I have had a lot of success. For the first time my face is very close to acne free! If I have pimples they are small and unnoticeable. None seem to be left on my forehead. Al though it didn't really work for me for the first few days. I almost gave up... But then suddenly I noticed a clearer face! Now to get rid of acne scars next.
Pros:
it clears acne within 4 days ! the box gives alot of info unlike other pimple cream who just say the ingredient and the directions or w/e ! i really like this pimple cream as it tells everything you need to know ! REALLY RECOMMENDED !
