Pros:

- Clears up if you put a thin layer on twice a day
- Dries clear and non-flaky unlike cream BP
- Doesnt sting and doesnt give you red irritated skin like sal. acid :)

Cons:

- AUD $15 bucks a tube, can be expensive if you use it on your back and chest
- Doesnt help with really, really, deep bumps

It's the best thing I ever bought for my skin, and I've used every single supermarket brand. Use the 2.5% if you dont have pus-filled spots (or if you are starting Benzac), use 5% if you have redness and pus and blockage, use 10% if you have deep under skin cysts. Give it at least 3-4 weeks. :)

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:

- Reduces whiteheads and blackheads within 4 days for me!
- Easy to use.
- Gives me a fresh and clean feeling after using it.

Cons:

- Maybe drying up my face could be a con although my skin isn't used to the products and my dermatoligist said the dryness could fade away within a couple a weeks when my skin is used to the benzoyl peroxide.

Very good product , I higly recommend it. But still you'll have to do your homework and do some searching to look if Benzac would be the right product for you. My skin is dry at this very moment but I believe it will fade when time passes. I do moisturize afterwards but I doesn't seem to moisturize enough. I will see if the dryness disappears else I'll have to go search a better moisturizer. BUT THE LITTLE DRYNESS IS SO WORTH MY CLEAR SKIN. ^^

Pros:

Works well easy to use.

Cons:

Dries skin and tends to make it slightly more sensitive to sunlight and irritation.

Bottom line is it works and I mean really does work. I used this stuff when my acne got really bad about a year ago used for about 6 months and my skin was completely spotless I kid you not. I used the Benzac Ac 5% topical water based cream. I have just started using it again because my acne is starting to flare up once again :(. But thats not the point. I heed all those acne suffers out there to try this product and tell others around you might be hard but be patient with it and good luck all on the road to clear clean skin.

Pros:

It took the tender sorefeeling away from pimples, took away the redness and all my scaring from previous acne has become less noticeable.

Cons:

depending on specific other products you use it can tend to dry out ur skin or make it sensative.

I thort i would end up spending around 50 buks per month for a acne product that would actually work but i was suprised how affordable benzac ac is considering how well it worked for me, but benzac ac may not work for everyone just like any other acne products, still overal i definatly reccomend it.

Pros:

This workes great on my skin. It smooths the surface and cleans deep down into the acne.

Cons:

Sometimes if i leave it on for too long my skin can get dry.

I am only thirteen and have had acne since i was 9. it was all over my face, upper and lower back and chest area. I couldnt wear singlets or bikini's. I had no confidence. Then i started using this and along with plenty of water and a fairly good diet, my acne has been almost cured. I still have some zits on my face but it looks loads better. The thing i learnt is that you have to be patient, it wont clear your skin up totally in a week, because it takes many weeks, but it is very effective and good. I would highly recommend it! I also use the Benzac AC gel for afterwards.
