Could've been better.
This was what I used on my breakout days few months back. I sometimes question if it actually works lol... But it does "dry" it out at some point. I feel like this product has a mind of it's own haha. Only chooses which pimple deserves to die though my friend likes that it works for her but hates the part that it leaves a dark scar on her.

Pros:

I guess it has cleared up a tad. Many people say it has worked for them. So I will wait and see.

Cons:

It's not working for me, but I just now am using it. My skin is drying up and burning... I have tried everything and I was prescribed by a doctor for this and to mix it with clindamycin so I guess it will work eventually.

Supposed to work, may take awhile... lots of many different symptoms.

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

Worsened my acne

this product did not work for me - i have suffered acne for 8 years, and have tried pretty much everything - incl. roaccutane. Benzac has not helped at all... infact i believe it has actually worsened it... has anybody else had the same issue?

Pros:

clears/dries breakouts

Cons:

very dry, sensitive, irritant, painful skin after application

It works. It worked for me before. I had intensive laser surgery done on my face because my acne was that severe, i was prescribed Benzaclin and it worked for me.. HOWEVER I was refused refills after 3yrs of usage and for a month I stopped using it after so long of continuous usage..and I broke out all over my face a couple weeks later. I am still suffering. The doctors finally gave into my plea and re-prescribed me benzaclin, the breakouts are worse, more painful.. i can't bear them. It hurts my face to smile. I lost all my confidence within weeks because of this. Basically if it works for you- stick with it !!
