MOVE VS. OTHERS :)



Ever since the launch of Slim, the PS3 has been undertaking a quiet revolution or... could it be the console's midlife crisis? :) Here's what happened recently - and I will only note the more important developments going 12 months back (writing this in Oct., 2010):



- NetFLIX streaming, now disc-less, 1080p, 5.1 surround sound

- Much larger disc (this one is triple the size of the original Slim)

- Move

- 3D gaming

- Blu-ray 3D



This is a lot of new 'stuff' for a 4 year old console. I am not going to go into bean-counting mode and compare the PS3 improvements with what we see at the other guys but, clearly there is a lot of life in the PS3 and a lot of what the PS3 has to offer today - 3D gaming, Blu-ray 3D - either cannot be duplicated or is unlikely to be implemented by other consoles of this generation.





WHAT YOU GET, WHAT YOU MAY NEED



Briefly, this is what you get in with this bundle and I will make it very short because there's a lot of info. at the Amazon page:



- PS3 Slim with...

* 320GB HDD - as far as I know, the largest hard disk a console has ever had. You CAN upgrade it to a 500GB if you want but 320GB should probably be enough. See PS3 Slim reviews for details and features

* Move controller, of course

* PlayStation Eye camera (must have for the Move to work)

* Sports Champions (Ping Pong is simply awesome, some of the games play much better with a second controller)

* A demo disc so you can see what Move can do for you (most of the demos can be downloaded from the PSN)

- DualShock 3 controller (rumble, motion sensitive)

- ONE USB wire mostly to charge the controllers



I marked with asterisks the items that come with the bundle are not included in the Slim 160GB package.





Depending on how you are planning to use the PS3, this is what you don't get but may end up buying eventually:



- HDMI cable for HD output (a component cable should work too but you can get a decent HDMI for $3-5 or so)

- One or more extra USB wires same as above, don't pay more than $2-3 for one

- One more Move Controller (some games will either require two controllers or will play better with two)

- One or two Navigation Controllers (you can use the DualShock in your left hand but it feels weird)

- Dedicated charger, especially if you have more than one Move controller or you also have a Navigation controller

- PS3 TV remote controller to use when watching movies





TO BUNDLE OR NOT TO BUNDLE



We got the bundle because we really needed a fresh console but, it turns out, if you already have a PlayStation 3 Eye camera all you need is the stand-alone Move controller to be able to play Move games. If you don't have the Eye then it's going to cost a little more but the general idea is that it's possible to ease yourself into the Move universe and possibly stop if you feel that the Move is not for you. However, if you get yourself hooked, the odds are that you are going to spend A LOT on extras, eventually - see above.





THE PS3 BUNDLE VS. OTHER OPTIONS



At the time I'm writing this you can get a Move-less, 160 GB PS3 for $100 less. In my view, it's probably worth buying this bundle even if you do NOT want the Move because you should be able to sell your brand-new Move controller ($49), the PS Eye ($30) and the Sports Champions ($40) game and make close to $100 in the process and you will STILL have a console with TWICE the disc capacity.





MY RATING



This bundle is probably the best PS3 deal ever - see my notes on how you could sell the Move stuff if you don't want it and still end up ahead. I've been a PS3 owner ever since the 60GB classic became available and I've been impressed with the PS3's reliability, versatility and its sheer power - and I've owned both 'classic' and 'slim' models, upgraded most, gave away a couple. In the end it's a matter of personal taste but the PS3 is increasingly the most popular 'gaming' or 'entertainment' implement in our household. And we DO own an Xbox too.



I will not go through the long list of PS3's features. It would be an exaggeration to say that it does 'everything' but, in my view, it does a lot more than the competition and it's doing it increasingly well. Agreed, features and capabilities do not come for free and sometimes they don't even come cheap (see my list of possible add-ons above) but I can't say that I have the feeling of being constantly nickeled and dimed when I upgrade my PS3. I will have no choice at this time but to order the extra Move and Motion controller from Sony but the charger, the larger discs I used to upgrade my old classic, all of the cables came or will come from third party vendors and even for the old SixAxis and the remote controller there were alternatives at the time I decided to buy the Sony-made ones. In addition, the 'basic' PS3 console can take you pretty far as it is and you can have a lot of fun without having to spend one extra penny.



To conclude, this bundle gets 5 stars:



- for being chuck-full of 'stuff' (controllers, game, huge hard disc)

- for being the most cost-effective PS3 deal at the time I am writing this (Sep. 17, 2010)

- for the PS3 being the most feature-rich, well-balanced console you can get these days

Aug. 16, 2011 Note:



Quite a lot happened to the PS3 since I posted my review. A week or so ago Netflix became part of a new category named TV/Video Services with Hulu PLUS, Vudu HD Movies, NHL GameCenter Live and MLB.tv. I've had Netflix for quite a while and if Hulu adds a lot of movies show to what I'm getting from Netflix I may say goodbye to my satellite provider. Under the Music tab I can see now Qriocity. I believe there is a 6 months free trial but I'm a Pandora guy so I'm not sure I'll sign up. It's good to know it's there.



Oh and... funny coincidence. I just read that Sony cut $50 of all consoles sold in the US. I paid $499 for my first 60GB PS3 back in 2007 (came with 8 or 10 Blu-ray movies so it wasn't THAT bad a deal) and it's still one of our 2 PS3. Not even a hiccup after 4 years of gaming and movie viewing.

Belt Clips - tool pouch, tool holsters

Visit Store Now !!

Good product. Its made well. It has a large compartment for a cell phone and a smaller one for your leatherman. Two pen holders and the flashlight holder on the side.



One thing I liked was it has both a horizental belt clip and a horizental and vertical belt loop on it so you can easly use either method to attach the holder to you. So if you use the belt loop. you can have it sit parallel or vertical with the ground.



As for me, it was a little to bulky. It is roughly 3" wide by 6" tall and 3" deep. I have to do a lot of moblilty things in my job including running with tools on me. And this kept hitting my arm while it sat on my hip, and would bounce around alot.



Unless you do a whole bunch of running around, I wouldn't recomend it. But for every one else who wants something to house everthing neatly in one unit. It would be a good buy CLC Custom LeatherCraft 5-Pocket Cell Phone/Tool Holder - 1105

This product is a little too big for today's smaller cell units and too small for a cordless, or an Amprobe tool...But it fits my multitool, my folding lockblade knife and a handful of troubleshooting tools very well.

This is supposed to be a cell phone holder but we use them as tool pouches to hold telecommunications tools on our belts. This way the tools we need to splice cable and fix computers or telephones are right at hand. This pouch is perfect for that purpose. The only problem we have with them is they do wear out after about a year of almost daily use. This does keep us buying the product periodically. If you need to have small tools readily available this is perfect for the purpose.

I liked the clip on the front where you can add a pair of gloves or something like that. But the flashlight holder isn't big enough for my Surefire 5" flashlight. Total bummer! I guess they weren't kidding when they said MINI flashlight, mine is apparently a COMPACT flashlight and therefore too big. I was using the Bucket Boss Brand 54041 Double Barrel Tool Sheath before this, and I think I'll need to Frankenstein the two together in order to get something small that'll hold everything I need.

What would have been so bad if they had made the 'stretch flashlight holder' on the side accommodate more than just the mosy tiny, narrow, mini maglite-type flashlight holding AAA batteries. For 10 cents more in construction costs, they could have constructed it with a better, more strechable material to accomodate at least a decent-width AA flashlight. - Holsters - Tool Pouch - Tool Holsters - Belt Clips'

Adult Acne - adult acne, blemish control

This product is great and is highly effective. I have worked in pharmacy for 3 years and have seen people spend a lot of money on prescription acne treatments that basically do the same thing but only cost more, especially if you dont have insurance. This strength of Benzoyl Peroxide used to be RX only, but now is over the counter. It is rather strong and I do suggest that you follow the instructions on the package, especially if you have sensitive skin, to "ease into it", even if you are tempted to put it on 2-3 times a day at the very beginning. It may cause your skin to become very dry and flaky, somewhat ruining the benefits. Overtime though, many people's skin gets used to it and then you can increase the application as neeed.

As other people have mentioned this product does say that it is a gel, but in fact is a white cream and does leave some residue on the skin. The good news is that Clean & Clear has just come out with the same product as this in a clear gel!! I saw it the other day at a Walgreens!

One thing I do have to say though, is that someone previous to me, mentioned that this product is the same as the RX product ClidaGel, which is not true. ClindaGel contain benzoyl Peroxide, but it alos contains clindamycin which is another acne fighting engredient. I just thought that I should mention that in case anyone reading this uses ClindaGel.

Overall, this is definately a great product!!! Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength 1

If you need to get rid of a zit fast, then this is the best out there, in my experience.



I put this on any zit (or blackhead trying to become a zit) that I spy before bed, and it knocks that sucker out. It does make my skin peel a tad, and it will probably do the same to you, so be careful not to overuse. Also, make sure you use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer as well if your skin is really sensitive.



EDIT: Something else that's great: This product caused old acne scars on my chin to fade very quickly. Acne scars are the worst because even if the zit goes away it looks like you still have it! So this product is great for that as well.



SECOND EDIT: I wrote this review several years ago. I'm now 29 and this product doesn't work the same for me as it used to. So your experience with it may vary depending on how old you are. When I was younger, it was the best! Now that I'm older, I find products with tea tree oil work better for me. Also: beware, this product will bleach any fabric it comes in contact with.

I have thin, oily skin and used to have pimples ravaging my nose and cheeks. This product has cured my acne without aggravating my skin. I've tried every (pricey) spot treatment under the sun, from Neutrogena to Clarins to DDF, and this product is one of the better ones.



Unfortunately, this product is **NOT A GEL** as advertised! It is a white cream that can leave splotches as it dries. I usually apply this after moisturizing so I don't get splotches anyway, but this is something that buyers should know: the packaging is truly misleading.

This stuff is amazing! I think I've tried almost every product out there, including prescriptions, and Persagel gave me clear skin in only a few weeks, and has kept it clear for months! I find the best routine is to clean your skin with a mild soap at night and apply a thin layer all over (it really helps prevent). In the morning, clean it off and apply moisturizer, something with SPF is best, as this medication will make your skin extremely sensitive to the sun. Do watch for bleaching though, I've ruined quite a few towels with this stuff!

This product works great. I've been using benzoyl peroxide - based over - the - counter acne treatments for at least 30 years and I'm ordering some more right now. But there is a caution that I should remember, but I recently forgot. Benzoyl peroxide is a bleach (they even use it in Asia to bleach flour, just check the label on your Ramen package). It can bleach literally anything. Recently I ruined a new set of expensive sheets and pillow cases, and left a bleached spot on my new comforter. So now I bought a nice set of white sheets and am trying to find a more color fast duvet cover.



I've also figured out what the small white spots in the carpet are. I've bleached out places in the carpet where I figure the residual on my fingers touched it. (I tend to put the benzoyl on as a final thing after the evening shower while at the bath room sink and in the past I generally haven't washed off the residual on my fingers.) I've determined I was picking something off the carpet or I sat down, using my hand to brace me. Poly/cotton blends seem to be more resistant to benzoyl peroxide than 100% cotton. Although completely man - made blends in the carpet have been bleached. So I'm not sure there is a hard and fast rule.



This would be good for parents to know and to enforce a 'hand washing' rule after use. Or just keep in mind when you find that really nice set of colorful sheets at Overstock.

I rarely review products, but just had to throw out my kudos to this product. I am a 29 female and have suffered with acne for 15+ years. It never seemed to get any better, despite expensive prescriptions. Most of my breakouts were around my jawline and hairline, although no part of my face could really escape it! For the last two years I have been trying to combat my acne with an expensive combination of antibiotics + birth control + salicylic face wash + aczone ($$!) and retin-a. Nothing cleared my breakouts.



Thank goodness for my love of amazon and everyone who has used this product and written their reviews! I decided to give persa-gel a shot and with a $5 price tag, I had nothing to lose.



The results are nothing short of AMAZING!! Persa-gel IMMEDIATELY cleared my breakouts, and has prevented new acne. The first day or two my skin was a little flakey in some spots, but after that no problems. I have been using this for about 2-3 weeks and have had ZERO new breakouts. I can run my hands along my face and my face feels smooth (and I can't feel ANY small bumps or clogged pores under the surface!!). I even used this on a small/picked at sore near my hairline that didn't seem to improve after a week or two. I used persa-gel on it and it IMMEDIATELY began to dry up and heal. REMARKABLE! As someone who picks at their skin too much (guilty), I love that this product almost seemed to HEAL my skin. I love that this product dries out acne, but doesn't make my skin flakey. Plus it rubs right in clear and very little product is needed.



I am so impressed with this product and recommend it to anyone to try. I am throwing out all my expensive prescriptions since I have found a new SOLUTION:



Morning:

Wash with Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask with Clarisonic Brush

Use Neutrogena Clear Pore Toner applied with cotton pad

Moisturize with Olay Total Effects moisturizer

Only on occasionally I use persa-gel as a spot treatment on any existing breakouts before makeup (Bare Minerals)



Night:

Wash with Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask with Clarisonic Brush

Use Neutrogena Clear Pore Toner applied with cotton pad

Moisturize with Olay Total Effects Night Firming cream (allow to absorb for 5-15 minutes)

Apply small amount of persa-gel to entire face, concentrating on breakout areas (rub in a small drop on problem areas)



Also taking Zinc (50 mg) + Copper (2.5 mg) nightly



*If you use moisturizer in conjunction with persa-gel, I advise using moisturizer PRIOR to persa-gel and allowing it to absorb for 5-15 minutes first. I have tried persa-gel first, and even after waiting before applying moisturizer, when I did, some persa-gel ended up getting too close to my eyes and irritating the delicate skin. - Acne Treatment - Adult Acne - Benzoyl Peroxide - Blemish Control'

Printer Accessories - photography, photo quality paper

Visit Store Now !!

I got a Canon Pro9000 printer over a year ago, and ever since then I've been experimenting with different papers. I order sample packs from paper companies such as Red River, Hahnemuhle, Ilford, and of course the native Canon paper. Since I was a total beginner when it comes to printing, I kept detailed notes in OneNote, compared the same image on different papers, calibrated my monitor, used soft proofing, etc. My goal was to find a paper that I love and that had predictable results from monitor to print.



After much toil and compromise with the 3rd party brands, I realized that Canon's Photo Paper Pro was a high-quality, consistent paper. It wasn't an exciting discovery - using the expensive paper from the printer manufacturer instead of discovering some money-saving yet exotic specialty paper - but at least my prints were looking good.



Then as I was restocking on ink, I noticed that Canon updated their product line, releasing Photo Paper Pro II and Photo Paper Pro Platinum. Intrigued, I ordered a 20-pack of letter sized Platinum. Sure enough, soon I had a chance to shoot a portrait of a friend of mine that had many vivid colors, high dynamic range, and a great level of detail. I did a small shoot-out between some Red River paper, Photo Paper Pro (the original), and the Platinum. I won't labor you with the details, but when I printed on Photo Paper Pro after a few Red River misses, I sighed with relief - the colors were rich and faithful, and the image looked great. I then pushed the envelope and printed with Platinum. Wow!!! It got even better! The differences were subtle, but perceptible. The Platinum seemed to have a bit more "pop", probably owing to its higher brightness.



For a recent gallery showing, I printed a couple dozen more prints on this Platinum paper, and got a good feel for its performance. I found that soft proofing wasn't really necessary with this paper - it looked very faithful to the screen without having to bring anything back into the gamut. Despite being a brighter base paper, the prints came out a bit darker than some of the other papers I was messing around with. A bump of 5% to brightness in Qimage did the trick. The colors also seemed a bit less saturated. This is a tough one to make a call on - I'm used to Canon's idea of colors (whether camera-processed JPG or their super-glossy paper) being a bit too much on the Disney side, so I was actually appreciative of a more subdued default. A saturation boost of 2% or 3% did the trick. Note that the "unsaturated" colors were still plenty deep and rich, just not quite as punchy.



I'm going to try the Photo Paper Pro II next to see if it's a good middle point between the (already good) Photo Paper Pro and this beautiful but expensive Platinum. This paper definitely earns its name - it's the top of the line with a price to match. I didn't see a world of difference between this and the old Photo Paper Pro in terms of visuals, but Canon claims that the archival qualities in this paper are state of the art, and I believe them. So for prints I really care about, I'm all about the Pro Plat! Canon Photo Paper Pro Platinum, 8.5 x 11 Inches, 20 Sheets (2768B022)

Get best results with Canon Photo Paper Pro II. Also a little bit less pricey. Using Canon 9000 Pixmar Pro.

Could not tell any difference that would justify the extra money spend on this type of paper.

This Pro Photo Paper is the best I have ever used. I have a lot to do with photography and the pictures I print on this paper to use in my portfolio is amazing. There is no finer photo paper!! If you want the best looking pictures this is hands down the best paper to show off your work, or just to have photos hanging around on your walls.

I use a Canon Pixma Pro9000, which I just got a few months ago. I am going to discuss the paper quality versus my printer, however, because sometimes the color production from the printer seems perfect, and other times it comes out dark. But the printer always gets the sharpness and image quality right.



So far, I am very pleased with this particular print paper. The colors are well-saturated, clean and glossy, although I find sometimes I may have to wait a while for the print to have "dried" before the colors are accurate. Again, this may be more the printer's fault than the paper itself. I have given prints made on this paper to various clients and they have been very pleased; so far, I have not heard any complaints about fading. (However, I think ANY print will fade in time if left in direct sunlight frequently.)



The print quality is fantastic and I've been pretty happy so far. As I experiment with papers more, I may find one I like better, but this is pretty good for now.

I download images of coins and print them for a research project. My Canon IP 4600 + Pro Platinum paper produce prints as good as professional catalogs. For the first time, I'm completely satisfied with my prints. Furthermore, Canon says the paper is of archival quality, but it will take >25 years to prove this.

On the down side, the best prices I've found are ~$1/page and $15/cartridge(IP 4600 has 5 individual cartridges), so a high volume user might find this costs too much. The IP 4600 itself wasn't expensive. - Photo Paper - Canon Photo Paper - Photography - Photo Quality Paper'

Originally I was interested in purchasing a Balance Ball Chair, but at $70 and just starting out I decided to go with the Balance Ball Base, the less expensive way to go.



Not only does the base keep the ball from rolling while at your desk this unit will connect with an exercise strap for working out.



So for approximately $20 (Base and Shipping-shpg about same cost as the base) it's pretty worth it and very satisfied with it and perhaps even a better alternative to a Balance Ball Chair. Isokinetics Inc. Brand Exercise Ball Base

When I received the base, I was concerned that the lack of "feet" would cause unnecessary scratching on my wood floors. The reason is that entire base area rests on the floor vs. having pads, or coaster discs on the base where the 4 holes are.



But, really, what I wanted was casters in those four holes but I didn't want to pay up to $75 more for a "chair" base for my ball. So, I contacted Isokinetics to ask if they sold casters for this base... it seems as though it is designed for casters with the existing four holes. Their answer was no, they didn't offer that accessory.



So, I headed down to my local Home Depot to buy four light duty, ball-bearing casters... some bolts and hardware, all costing less than $14 and added them to the base. Voila, I had the more reasonably priced ball chair base that I wanted in the first place.



(I've posted a photo of the modified base on the product page.)

This is actually a really cool device because now my exercise ball doesn't roll all over the place. I use my ball at work as my desk chair and before I had the base I was constantly rolling all over. It was difficult to sit cross-legged on my ball, as well, although the rest of the office staff got a kick out of me falling heels over head.



Another neat thing about it is that there are hole in which I could hook up resistance weights hooked on cords so it keeps everything organised and handy.

This product is supposed to serve as a base for exercise balls that allows you to sit on the ball in a stable way . However, it does not serve this function at all! I have several sizes of balls and the base is not able to hold even one of them in place. It is simply not high enough.

I bought this to store my ball. I wasn't keen on having it rolling freely around my living space and this fits the bill. I haven't tried it for stabilization while sitting on the ball because I like the balancing which helps build core strength. It arrived looking just like the picture so there were no surprises. It isn't pretty but it definitely does the job.

Nothing fancy, does what it's supposed to do. This works well with my 75cm ball. Smaller and you may have issues. The base is good to use with a 75cm ball as a desk chair! I'm 5' 10" and it's perfect.

My Isokinetics Exercise Ball Base was delivered within the promised time span in excellent condition. My purpose for purchasing it was to have a place to store the inflated ball; this product is perfect for that and can also be used to stabilize the ball while in use. Upon receipt of the base I noticed that it could also be used to facilitate the use of a strength-training exercise cord, which I have been unable to find. If you have that item, I would like to be notified. - Exercise Ball - Base - Accessories - Balance Ball Chair'

Jacqueline Kennedy

Visit Store Now !!

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy was without a doubt one of America?s most admired first ladies and that is the major theme of this book. Although the book - a collection of quotes taken from a variety of sources, mostly interviews given by Mrs. Kennedy - spans her lifetime, a good portion is devoted to Jackie?s roles as the young wife of Senator John F. Kennedy and as the Nation?s First Lady. In order to fully appreciate some of the late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis?s comments about her roles as a woman/wife/mother and widow, it is important to bring up the historical context. The Kennedy Administration, ?Camelot,? took place amid turbulent times: widespread civil and racial unrest, the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis, and escalating involvement in the Vietnamese conflict. The women?s movement was then in its infancy and it is against this backdrop that the Kennedy?s acquired mythical, almost magical qualities. ?Jack and Jackie were America?s royal couple,? writes Bill Adler in his introduction to The Eloquent Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis; A Portrait in Her Own Words. The quotes provide a window into her childhood, life with JFK and her role as First Lady, then widowhood, followed by her marriage to Aristotle Onassis, her work as book editor for both Viking Publishers and Doubleday, and final years. One section deals with the assassination, ?Jack was the love of my life. No one will ever know a big part of me died with him.? A common thread that runs throughout is her great love of, and reliance on, the family. Jackie?s life revolved around those she loved the most, her husband and her children, Caroline and John Jr. ?Raising children is the best thing I?ve ever done,? she declared. For those of us who lived through the sixties and are old enough to remember where we were when we heard that the President of the United States had been mortally wounded by an assassin?s bullet, this tiny giant of a book will help to fan the flames of remembrance by highlighting the ?beauty, grace and intelligence Jacqueline Kennedy brought to the White House,? the country, and the world. The Eloquent Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis : A Portrait in Her Own Words (With a One-Hour DVD Insert from A&E Biography)

It says very clearly in the ad that this book includes a one-hour DVD with it, but my order arrived without the DVD. After sending 3 emails

to the vendor's customer servce, none of them are replied. But the vendor

is still selling the same items at Amazon. I think that with their poor service quality, this vendor should be removed from the Amazon immediately.

Just finished the Kindle version. I really enjoyed reading things directly from her instead of leaving the book wondering what was gossip, or actual history. Kindle version does not include the pictures that are displayed in the actual book but I wouldn't even have noticed if the text didn't inform be that the pictures had been removed. It's a great read.

The best part of this book was the A&E video included. It was all quotes, and some not so positive. I did not feel that the author actually liked her. If you want to read it, check it out of the library.

loved this book, loved her though her story is yet fully told I don't beleve. There is still much not in the public eye that was the Kennedy way, the lifg, the history and now, well its about all over isn't it, who carries the flame???'

Benzoyl Peroxide - skin care, acne treatment

Visit Store Now !!

I bought this product to deal with some mild acne around my chin. I also get the occasional painful cyst-type acne (I am in my mid 20's and this is a recent development).I have pretty sensitive dry/normal combo skin and other treatments I have tried have just made me peely and flaky.



I have been using the treatment for a month. At first the treatment was a little drying so I went to using it every other night and now I am applying it every night following it up with moisturizer. My skin is DEFINITELY clearer. The product is easy to apply, soaks into your skin pretty quickly and is unscented (a huge plus!) It is still a little irritating everyonce in awhile but I have not had any ridiculous peeling/redness. I'm still not sure how it will be under my makeup wearing it all day.



Overall, I am impressed with this product, it has helped out my skin! Acne.org 8 oz. Treatment

Great price, beats it's competitors. The product did exactly what it says it would do. Cleared up my face quickly. Fragrance free, which I love as well. I highly recommend this product. Daniel Kern knows what he's doing. I look forward to trying more of his products. Awesome!!

I was so depressed when I was using Neutrogena's 2.5% benzoyl peroxide because my face would always be a dry, peeling, flaky mess no matter what moisturizer I used!! This product is much better. It is still drying, as any B.P. treatment is going to be, but it just glides on so much smoother and is considerably less drying. I get a little bit of dryness but not the peeling, awful-looking skin I had. On top of all of this, it works wonderfully! I feel like my skin actually looks not only clearer but healthier and more vibrant!

I have very oily skin, so acne was always an issue. With five days of use larger bumps have become smaller, and small bumps under the skin have almost entirely cleared away.



I, like another one of the reviewers, must admit that I am not following the regimen exactly though. The treatment is gentle enough, and my skin oily enough, that I have not felt the need for moisturizer. I am still using a facial wash once a day to keep my skin clean.



Overall I am very pleased. I have had no irritation and my skin is clearer than it has ever been! (And I have tried many other treatments, including antibiotics and prescription washes).



I would recommend this treatment to anyone with any sort of acne issues.

I have mild acne (forehead, temples) and occassionally get cystic pimple aaround that time of the month, but it took only a few weeks for me to see results. Since I have combination skin (oily/dry combo), I put less of the benz. peroxide on my cheeks and much more on my forehead/temple area. Even though the instructions says use A LOT and to follow the instructions to a T, you have to see how your face reacts from the getgo and do a little tailoring to your skin's needs.





Also, BIG POINT- The benzoyl peroxide will bleach EVERYTHING it comes in contact with ESPECIALLY when you are sleeping. Oh, one more thing, you will notice that hair will be bleached. I have the thickest ( it's a dark brown, almost black ) hair you can imagine and it bleached it rather quickly. So if you have thin hair, act quickly and cover your hair from the start of the regimen. I don't mind a few red and blond hairs, but to those who do, cover your hair when you sleep.



Otherwise, a product that is straight forward and does the job.

If you follow Dan's regimen at acne.org -- or any of the rip-off regimens available like it from Clean & Clear, Physicians Formula, etc. let alone Proactiv -- then you know 2.5% benzoyl peroxide (BP) works as well as 5% or 10% but without horribly drying your skin (or, worse, drying it out so badly, your skin cracks and bleeds or oozes where it is cracked (yeah, that what happened to me on a regimen of topical antibiotics, 10% benzoyl peroxide, and 1% Retin-A cream that were all RXed together by a dermatologist!!)



This is a great 2.5% BP. It's more like a cream than a lotion, so it's not runny and it stays where you put it. It doesn't leave a hugely heavy white residue on your face (depending how much you use). And it doesn't have extraneous irritating or allergy-causing ingredients in it.



I have the misfortune of having mostly dry or very dry skin WITH adult acne, especially prone to breaking out with a couple deep, large acne cysts around "that time of the month". In the past, I was RXed 5% or 10% BP (as mentioned above) which harmed my skin much more than it cleared up my acne.



I've since learned that 2.5% is the way to go. It works just as well as the 5% or 10% but without all the complexion-frying harshness of those two higher concentrations.



Thanks, Dan!

I started experiencing very stubborn, painful cyst-like acne on my jaw line a few years ago (I'm in my mid-30's) and was at my whits end. I tried ProActiv and experienced more breakouts; Clinique's skin care line helped some. I happened upon this product a few months ago when searching the net for acne solutions. I am so please with the results-within a few weeks of usage, my jaw line has completely cleared. I am loving that this product absorbs completely (some other BP products that combine with moisturizer tend to leave a sticky residue). I, too am like some of the other reviewers in that I have not used it exactly as prescribed-once a day seems to be enough. I have had some dryness around my nose and lips, so I just avoid those areas when applying.

This product is great. I haven't had a blemish in months (although it took a few weeks to work, which is to be expected.) It also feels so smooth on my skin, unlike Neutrogena's On-the-Spot treatment, which always leaves my face feeling itchy and tight. I will say that I don't use the treatment exactly as recommended (I only use it at night and use a salicylic acid gel during the day for blackhead control), but my results have still been great. I plan on using it forever! - Blemish - Skin Care - Benzoyl Peroxide - Acne Treatment'
