| Pros | Works fairly quickly Isn't greasy Over the counter Does its job! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Expensive for a small tube Consistent use is key Stings for a bit |
| Bottom line | I've been on and off Benzac AC 5% for the past six months, just sporadically putting it on the trouble areas (in small dabs). But when I fully integrated it in my skincare ritual in the way the regimen does, I saw results. My acne is not severe at all, but the frequency in which I do get breakouts is very often, so I needed something to WORK. Benzac does work, only if you're willing to put the effort in on rubbing it on your whole face (like the regimen says) twice a day. You can't give up even though your face might feel like it's on fire for a few minutes. I think that's a minor trade-off for clearer skin. On the first day after applying Benzac on my face, my reddish pimples that were swollen the day before began to dry up. The smaller whiteheads near my ears/towards the hollows of my cheeks dissipated and I couldn't feel any cysts coming up. My routine goes: Cleanse with 1) Ponds Clear Solutions Anti-Bacterial Facial Scrub Treat with 2) Benzac AC 5% Moisturise with 3) The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion (When my skin is extra dry, I don't use the Tea Tree Lotion. Instead I use 4) Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion) Hope it works for you! |

| Pros | Clears Acne pretty fast Dries up oily skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | Bleaches clothes and towels |
| Bottom line | It works! Cleared up my adult acne. I tried a lot of treatments before benzac and nothing worked as well. Drinking a lot of water also helps a lot. Definetely recommend it before trying accutane. Accutane helped me for a while but it came back :(, when I tried a second round of accutane my body did not react as well. |

| Pros | starts working within 1 week does get rid of pimples and scars noticible reduced in 1 month |
|---|---|
| Cons | dries out skin in a month and can get sore, red, iritated especially around the nose though goes away in a few weeks my acne came back after 3 months of using benzac |
| Bottom line | i would recomend this for your first time trying it. in 2-3 months my skin was completly clear. I kept using benzac and now my skin is back to acne poping up so once your skin has reached perfect stop using it! |

| Pros | Reduces cysts and pimples within days Deminished my acne completely within a month. No drying of skin or 'burning' I use it if a pimple 'breaks out' and within days it is gone. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | It is the best product I have ever used and I struggled with 'adult acne' from the age of 26 to 36 until I discovered Benzac Well priced and easily accessible. |

| Pros | Really works, reducs acne after a few months of CONSISTENT USE. It's good becase it works, while not being prescription. Skin should be almost clear in 3 months, and you should have very minor acne by 6. After that, skin should look normal. |
|---|---|
| Cons | When incorporating into the whole cleansing routine it can get a little pricey. I need to buy my cleanser (Neutrogena) Mask (Body Shop) Toner (Biole) plus the Benzac. Overall, i'm paying about $50 a month. But it's well worth. I did experience some minor dry skin problems a few weeks after I started to use Benzac, but it cleared up after a week. It DOESN'T WORK RIGHT AWAY! Don't fret and stop using it. Be consistent and it will work. |
| Bottom line | Slightly drying and a little pricey. But well worth the money as it really helps. Soon I am going to move up to the 10% as the rate of improvement is slowing down. I would really recommend this product, as it is a great cream to use after cleansing at night, when the skin rejuvinates itself. (: |
