Pros:

it cleared up my pimples well when i started using it for a bad breakout after i stopped using proactiv

Cons:

when i stopped it cold turkey because it was a bit drying and then i broke out like crazy a couple weeks after.

i am back on benzac after stopping it and i am slowly recovering from stopping it coldturkey. hopefully it clears up all the way like it was when i was first on it!

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 :)
