Pros:

works really well and really fast (:
no other cleansers work for me.

Cons:

um... dries out skin, burns for a bit when you put it on, and I find that if I use it every day my nose will be reddish and skin will peel.

works best if you use it every day to get rid of acne/pimples, then only once or twice a week to control your skin, i've found.

Pros:

it gets rid of my pimples as far as i know.

Cons:

if i have a really big pimple on my face and i aply a generous amount to it doesn't seem to get rid of the. dries your skin

clears your skin up but if you have a really big pimple on your face don't squeeze cause it just makes it look really yucky. but love this product because i never really had that bad of skin but now its close to perfection except for 1 or 2 pimples and a few scars but thats my fault i squeeze and poke with needles. BUY THIS PRODUCT IT ROX

Pros:

Pimples can stay on your face for weeks. This product dries them out almost instantly. It bloody works!( read that last sentence a ziljion times!) I tried clearasil crap before i found this product. Didnt work at all.
Cheap

Cons:

well ye it dries your skin and stings a bit. It really doesnt matter for me though? if it gets rid of acne i'm happy.
Acne returns when u stop using it. I sometimes wonder will i have to keep using this stuff untill the day i die?

Used everything ! Nothing helped untill i found benzac 5. It completely cleared my skin. After using it 2 years i decided to stop using it. As i never had any pimples anymore. My skin was beautifull for 2 years in a row without a single zit. After that I didnt use any products for about 1 year. The acne is coming back.. Allthough i must say it's obviously a much milder form then what i had before. When u are used not having ANY acne for 2 years, even a few zits/unpure skin is completely unacceptable. So I started using it again a few days ago. My skin is on his way again to perfection. The question remains.. Will I really have to use this product every freaking day of my life untill the day I die ?

Pros:

Benzac definitely works. I am in the UK now and its been difficult to find at the pharmacies here. They have Panoxyl which definitely does not work as well for me as Benzac does.

Cons:

Benzac can be very drying and for sensitive skin, it burns at first. But to me, its worth it because of the results I get. Acne may appear worst at first but that is because it brings those hidden under the skin to the surface in order to deal with i

Try Benzac

Pros:

My pimples cleared up and made my skin less oily :)

Cons:

It's a bit drying though and I still have a few blackheads on my nose and cheeks.

Overall, it's a great product! :) I've been using it for 3 years and it works wonders. When I tried to stop using it a couple of months ago, my skin went crazy and started breaking out. I immediately started using it again, and after a week, my skin looked a lot more like that of a human's. :) I'm never gonna stop using it again.
