Cons:

Pros:

It has significantly cleared up my skin, has done for almost two years now.

Cons:

consistant use, i have to use it atleast once a day.
at first i dint mind the dry skin because my acne was being cured but now after going so long without a huge amount of acne im starting to get self concious about the redness of my skin.

i reconmend it for great acne treatment, however your face will become very dry.

Pros:

Really cleared my acne...

Cons:

I stopped using it and my acne came back and I am using it again but it starting to make my skin feel moderately ichy...this have never before....am i suddenly allergic to it? or is this normal? If it's normal, should i continue using it?

It works well but the iching is unbearable when i put it on at nights

Pros:

- Clears up your skin
- Reduced amount of Blackheads

Cons:

- Dry Skin

I used the Water based Face Wash 5%, on 2x Daily use, and also on massive flare ups I used the 5% Cream overnight. Although this made my skin fairly dry, Benzac worked super well. Although my face is not completely cleared up, it has gotten rid of blackheads for the future and has brought the others out. My skin is slowly becoming clearer and this is only week 3-4! iam really happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone. I use to be embarrassed to go out at times because of my skin or flare ups, whereas now my skin looks cleaner and healthier. Ps. Make sure you use ALOT of moisturiser....

Pros:

-Dries out oily skin.
-It has reduced pustular (yellowish) breakouts, but the amount of white- and black-heads is basically the same

Cons:

-It dries my skin too much.
-My skin is flaking off like crazy sometimes.
-I get an itching feeling, tingeling and sometimes a sunburnt rash (Although i use it only once a day) and redness.

It`s ok, but not a great product for my skin. (light caucasian skin)
