Pros Worked quickly, I could tell that it was working right away. My skin became much clearer after a couple of weeks.
Cons The worst part about using this was that it dried out my skin. It also made my skin red when I first applied it, though the redness went away after about 30 minutes. Pricey. Also, it stopped working! That's the worst part.
Bottom line I would recommend this product; it worked very well for me. Unfortunately, my skin eventually became immune to its effects and now I have to find something else to use. It was expensive, too, because my insurance didn't cover brand-name prescriptions. It works, it just didn't for forever for me.
Price paid $75.00

Pros it's not a pill
Cons It cost me $40 copay and expires every 6 weeks. kind of expensive. So far not working
Bottom line I need a little more time with it. Right now I apply the duac in the morning and Tazorac at night. So my skin is extra itchy. I have not noticed any difference in my skin. I was on Doxocyclin for 6 weeks but due to YI I had to stop taking it. The doxy clear up my skin pretty nice so hopefully the Duac & Tazorac will keep it clear. Otherwise it's Accutane.

Pros Only thing that can kinda sorta control my severe cystic acne that leaves terrible and long lasting scars.
Cons Made my face a bit dry but thats what moisturizer is for, and it fixed that.
Bottom line For me I have like the worst acne of anyone in the world and it leaves scars that last for about 6 months(I know CRAZY).This is the only thing that has helped me a little.My acne was mild-moderate but then I took minocycline(prescription antibiotic) and it made my face look more like a pepperoni pizza than a clear face. It has never been the same. Tell me if you find something that actually works.(By the way, I tried Murad for one night and it made my face look EVEN WORSE PLEASE IF YOU LIKE A CLEAR FACE DO NOT DO MURAD IT WAS EXTREMELY RED AND BLOTCHY AND STILL IS IM LOCKED UP IN MY HOUSE I CANT GO ANYWHERE IT LOOKS SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Pros cleared up skin really good, but i have moderate acne ONLY on my chin and forehead, but seriously my chin is terrible! Horrible under the skin one, and duac really clears them up well for about a month...
Cons .... then it just stopped working, started to again get outbreaks everyday, now getting then on my cheeks, and on my temples?
Bottom line I stopped using it because it stopped working, but because nothing else has worked, back on it again, because of so many good reviews! But i'm using the same tube from like 4 months ago? Dunno if its expired, so gonna go back for some more.
Hope it works so much, and hope i get good results like the rest of you guys. Sucks that im only 13. ¬¬

Pros This is the only topical gel that works to clear out my moderate acne. I have been using it for over 2 years. After extended use, leaves skin soft, clear, and smooth. No more pustules. I'm not antisocial anymore. Duac saved me.
Cons Expensive. It used to cost me $50/month (a month's supply lasts me 6 weeks). Then I got it for $30 through Next Rx. It takes a while to kick in. You have to be patient and consistent. If your skin flares up, try putting on every other day first, then slowly increasing over time.
Bottom line I recommend Duac gel to all of my friends. My brother uses it, I use it, and our acne cleared up. Nothing else seems to work. If you can't get Duac, try anything with benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin. That is the only combination that works on my skin. Check out my blog on this website, and you'll see how I tried DK's Regimen for 8 weeks and my later journey with Duac.

Pros Helped relieve acne.
Cons Not terribly cheap, made me dry and sensitive to the sun, stopped working. Hard to find at chemists.
Bottom line Like with other topical creams Ive tried, it helps, but stops working.

So I'm having Blackmores B Vitamin Complex with Nature's Own Zinc (separate). And I'm getting more of Vitamin B5 (separate), because the B5 in the complex is too low, should be having like over 500mg a day of B5 at least to get rid of acne. And I'm waiting on my order from SkinB5 for the cleanser, moisturiser and mask.

Pros Works quickly ( afer approx a few weeks use )
Easy to apply and unscented
Cons Can cause a little dryness and itching on sensitive skin
Bottom line This stuff is pretty good. I have suffered from moderate / severe acne on my face for several years now and have tried many antibiotics and topical lotions. None of these worked. Eventually i went onto Roaccutane which although worked, was a little over the top and powerful. Since my acne broke out acne I though I would give Duac a go. After only 2-3 weeks use I am already starting to see some progress.
Price paid $7.50

Pros Helps dry out and reduce pimples. Also minimizes the appearence of pores.
Cons Dries out skin, feels pasty at times, Expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bottom line I use this in the morning after I shower. It is nice to put on the face in the morning time. If paired with a good moisturizer, you can't really feel it working. I moisturize about two minutes or so after putting Duac on. The only bad thing is that sometimes, it feels pastey when you put it on. It has never bleached anything of mine...
