Pros:
as good as it gets for what it is... as part of my new regimen it is helping keep me clear. i tried using two pumps and it was making my eyes and neck dry and getting all over my pillow and ruining towels. now I use .75 - 1 pump and my skin is under control and basically clear.
Cons:
my skin looks a bit duller
effective and is non comedogenic...

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
High quality BP
Big bottle with pump
Cons:
Shipping is expensive to Canada 9 $
Shipping is not fast, took about 3 weeks to get here
I was using Panoxyl 2.5 % BP for 11 years, but it got discontinued in Canada. (don't know why since it was a really good product)
I was looking for a similar product but couldn't find any where I live.
I ordered BP from acne.org and after using it for a month, i have to say i am really pleased with the high quality of the product.
I don't have an opinion about the regimen because i don't follow it,
i have been using BP for about a decade and i guess i have my own personal regimen which works fine for me.
If you are new at using BP, i would advise you too stick to Dan's regimen at first and then play with it, add other products and add or remove steps as your acne disapear.
Be careful because BP does dry your skin so less is better at first. If your skin is dry and red, just stop using it for a day or two and it should get back to normal and then start using it again.
Good luck :)

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
My acne is significantly reduced.
Cons:
POOREST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. The product is great, and compared to similar products the price is the best, but I just cancelled my membership because the billing process is tragic, and while trying to work out their latest snafu over the phone, the customer service reps were horrible.
Don't do it. Search for a similar product.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Smoother skin
Cons:
Redness
Flaking
More hyperpigmentation/scarring
Sun sensitivity
Despite sticking at it religiously for 6 months, BP just didn't work for me. However, this BP is definitely the best I've found in terms of having the least redness and flaking. It also absorbs better.
Generally, I think if BP actually works for you then this is the best one to go for, but I had sensitive skin that was still red after 6 months.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
I think the Carly's acne facial cleanser is the BEST thing I have EVER used for my rosacea. I have had rosacea for 20 years, been to many dermatologist and NOTHING ever worked until a friend told me to try this product. In the first 2 weeks I saw a remarkable difference. I have told all of my friends to buy it too.
Cons:
NONE!
I wish I could tell everyone to use this product. I think the fact that it is FRESH and can't be shipped for retail sales says A LOT about the product itself. It is natural and is exactly what I have been looking for for years. I now have 4 members of my family using it as well as myself. We couldn't be without it!

Product used: The Regimen
Pros:
The cleanser is light
Moisturizer smells nice
Cons:
Didn't work
Patches of skin flaked and peeled off
Acne kept coming and got worse
Bleaches clothes and hair
Did nothing for me. I guess I'm allergic to BP, cause it burned like no other and my face got really, really red and dried out like nothing I've ever seen. Flaked off like snow! Did nothing to stop my cystic acne, may have even made it worse. As a plus, the moisturizer smelt nice and the cleaner was light and neither of these seemed to irritate at all. Tried this cause I didn't have insurance at the time. Did bleach a couple of my shirts and part of an eyebrow, lol! Had to break down and go to the derm instead :(
Pros:
Worked miracles for about 7 months
Got rid of all imperfections
