September 29, 2008
Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
makes pimples go away faster, reduces redness.
Cons:
doesn't prevent new ones, first few times it dries out skin very much, but then skin gets used to it. can't use when wearing makeup or your face looks like a dried up lake.
works better than any other over the counter acne medications and even better than most doctor prescribed stuff (and way better than friggin proactive, which is a major rip-off).

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
cleared up my skin 90% in 4 days. it is INCREDIBLE. worth every penny plus more.
Cons:
i wish i would had found this sooner. it dries up your face and neck like crazy, however, when you have clear skin WHO CARES?! just moisturize like crazy. love love love you dan.
I was so skeptical at this point in my life, I have exhausted every single product on the market along with prescription (except accutane which is next on the list), and I am honestly in AWE about this product, this regime... Dan, you saved me, and gave me my confidence back THIS REGIME IS THE BEST.

Product used: Zaclir (Benzoyl Peroxide (4% or 8%) Cleansing Lotion)
Pros:
Clears up skin
Cons:
Bad smell and does not have anything to exfoliate your face in it.
It works..but be patient. Use it morning and night along with a rich moisturizer(creme de la mer is awesome) I also took 100 mg of doxycycllin twice every day. I dont know how much it costs because my mom sent it to me (I'm in college)
September 23, 2008
Pros:
Doesn't dry out my skin too much, only under my nose a bit. Works fairly well.
Cons:
A tad bit drying. It also takes a while to work, but then starts working.
This product works really well. It doesn't clear acne completely or prevent it too much, but it stops it and controls it. I used to have mild acne, but now it is definitely mild to none. If a new zit pops up, this will control it and slow down the process in which it grows in.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
This is good stuff that is cheaper than anything else out there. I like that it's in a big tube unlike some products that are in tiny tubes. If I use it consistently with the regimen, then it works well. Doesn't over-dry my skin because I already
Cons:
None what so ever! This stuff is very, very good!
Price and value are sure enough to keep me buying this very, very good product to help keep my acne at bay from now on. Nothing else is as good, as cheap, and has just the right amount of benzoyl peroxide. Thanks Dan!

Cons:

Product used: Klear Action (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Works FAST, improves existing acne and the texture of your skin.
Cons:
None.
I've tried almost everything (change in diet, exercising regularly, steaming, miscellaneous acne products, etc. etc. etc.) and nothing seemed to give me quick or long lasting results. I received this product on Wednesday and ever since I started using it my face has improved so much. I couldn't even believe it. (My skin usually doesn't take well to anything, mind you.) I've even picked at some of my acne and it's still clearing at a phenomenal rate! I can't even imagine what my face is going to look like after an extended period of using this product. Some itching and minor redness does occur when first using the product but that's normal. Don't stop using the product. My face reacts to new products in that fashion but after a week or two the redness and itching goes away. So stick to using the product if you want to see results! It's absolutely worth it.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:

Cons:
not any

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
This product is the only product I've used (and I'm 52)that has completely removed those bumps under the skin. My skin is softer and clearer than ever. Since trying this product, I've never used anyhing else. It WORKS!
Cons:
Not a one.
I have never had BAD acne, but I did have those bumps under the skin. I tried this product and in a week the bumps were gone, and have stayed gone. My skin has never looked so good. I only use their natural soap on my skin to cleanse, and the exfoliator once a day. Their moisturizers are WONDERFUL. Never greasy, they absorb quickly and leave your skin so soft you find yourself touching your face, it's so smooth and soft. I have never switched or tried other products because these work so beautifully. I just re-ordered because I do not want to run out, those bumps would return. Also, these are really great people and you can ask for advise, they respond very fast and never try to sell you something you don't need. They also throw in samples of their other products, so you can try them before buying. I can't recommend these products or the people behind them highly enough. My skin does not look 52 yrs old, and I get compliments on my skin, where I never did before.
Pros:
clears pimples
