Pros:

Apply it every day for a couple of hours and it will dry up acne.

Cons:

I have very dry skin and this dries it out further. Horrible tight feeling, need to add a LOT of moisturiser to combat this. Burned when I put it on my nose.. moisturiser somehow made it worse and I had to wash it off. Only using it on jawline/ side of face acne.

I'm using it on jawline acne, had to stop using it on my nose because it burned. I would recommend it, definitely can see it drying up various spots but not if your acne is around the middle of your face or you have particularly dry skin.

Pros:

dries my pimples and lessen my white and blackheads!

Cons:

dry skin, redness :)

it really works! i swear! mine is benzac ac acne wash, it's effective! i'm using it for 2 months now and see improvements, couples of scars remained and new pimples form occasionally, but they are smaller and goes away faster, i use celeteque facial wash then use this, after that i use celeteque moisturizer, i trust celeteque bcuz it's non-comedogenic and oil free :)

Pros:

Had bad acne since high school. Now in mid 20s. Been on a few medications over the years but my acne always seems to come back. Tried Benzac a year ago and have been a loyal customer ever since. It cleared up my skin within a week!

Cons:

Ive heard from other people that it dries your skin out bad. I dont seem to have this problem, but I do put a little moisturizer on in the morning. I have found that the treatment stops working when you get to the last quarter of the tube.

I love this product soo much. Ive been using the cream for a year and take it everywhere I go. Im going to start using the facewash this week also (didnt realise it existed until yesterday). Like I said though, I found that the tube stops working when there is about a quarter of the product left. Not sure if anyone else has this problem? Its a small price to pay for the confidence of having clear skin though :)
