Pros:The breakouts are smaller and go away faster. If I have a pimple coming on, and I put a little on in the day, it usually doesn't get too much worse. I get less whiteheads, which I ALWAYS used to get.
Cons:I still get just a frequent pimples. About 3 a day, which is actually more than normal. It's almost my period, and that makes me break out though...It hasnt gotten rid of my acne, but I dont know how long it's supposed to take. Been on it a month.
Bottom Line:Smaller breakouts the go away faster, but has not cleared acne at all. Just as frequent as always. I'm also on Doxycycline at the same time. I dont recommend it as of yet, but things could change. I sure hope they do.
Recommended:No

Cons:I couldnt care less about a bit of dry sign, thats what moisturiser is for.
Bottom Line:I LOVE IT!!

Pros:Doesn't irritate skin, does what it says, great as a spot treatment
Cons:SFC Lotion which accompanies the Rx tends get used up first. I believe this is what prevents the irritation
Bottom Line:I actually went to my Dermatologist and requested a spot treatment. I am 24 years of age and have been acne proned all my life, initially, I was only prescribed Retin-A-Micro (which I love) but I also wanted something to treat isolated breakouts....hence the Duac topical gel. The two products work fine together and only on occassions do I notice MINOR irritation.

I love the gel, I have had to for a few months but I don't use it everyday, mostly for breakouts around my jawline and in my T-Zone. It takes care of the problem in just a day or two. I love the SFC lotion which accompanies it...it feels great on my skin and provides a balance, non greasy moisterized feeling even with have to apply the 5% benzoyl peroxide gel...which is murder on anyone's skin.

Pros:works quickly and clears skin with out the worry of acne returning (unless you stop using it)
Cons:dries out skin, but that doesn't last for a long time, dries out lips, but chap stick helps that, or i use a product called carmex on my lips that really helps.
Bottom Line:works great and results are worth the price, trust me, i have tried many different home remedy's, toothpaste, tea-tree oil, and different brands of different products, none have given me such a fantastic result, i have recommended it to all my friends with acne, so if you have struggled with acne for years like i did, go to your doctor and ask him for this product, because it works
Recommended:Yes
