Pros:

Clearing up my acne! I use to have little bumps everywhere as well as big ones and everything is going away. All i have left are a few faint scars where some big ones used to be, but they're disappearing.

Cons:

Nothing bad on my face. But i also use it on my chest and just recently it's gotten very red and dry. It looks like i got a bad sunburn :S I'm not really sure what to do about it.

It cleared me up, but it's still adjusting on the sensitive areas of my skin.

Pros:

OVER NIGHT RESULTS. really cleared up my acne. wasnt THAT bad in the first place but helps with period zits. Its cheap for me, 18$ for a 3 month supply

Cons:

Really dried out my face with use of moisturizer but not for long.

WELL WORTH IT

Pros:

My face is starting to clear up already. The pimples that were really bugging me prior going to the doctor are now very small compared to what they once were.

Cons:

When I used it for the first time it felt like my face was burning. It was very painful.

I've never tried an acne cream with an antibiotic so I'm not sure what the affects will be in the long run, but if your not satisfied with the results your seeing with normal acne prodcuts I reccomend you see your doctor about using Benzaclin.

Pros:

First topical medication that's worked wonders for me within the first 2-3 days of use.

I've tried Metro Lotion, Differin, etc and nothing has even compared. Metro Lotion is way too greasy and Differin was much too intense for me.

Cons:

Costly, I paid $160 because my insurance doesn't cover it.

It also can make your skin dry, but I apply Cetaphil moisturizer over it at night.

After having moderate acne for the last 10 years and trying everything under the sun, I am so thrilled that I found a doctor that knows what he is doing. He put me on Amoxicillin antibiotics and Duac and my face has seriously cleared in the last 4 days. I don't have one pimple left. It's a miracle. I wish I had this regime 10 years ago.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Does not work on cystic acne. Does not fade the red marks all that fast, and I'm very fair-skinned.

Not worth the $65.00

July 26, 2007

Pros:

it works like a DREAM! within like a week almost all my acne was gone!! thats if i dont pick at it and use it twice a day.

Cons:

it tightens your skin like crazy. you feel like you just had botox after you put it on. it eventually goes away if you make weird faces.
and if you stop using it, it comes all back. at least for me

i freaking love this stuff!!! it works. period. it may dry out your skin and tighten it up, but for clear skin i dont care what it gives me. ive tried every product under the sun including proactiv (that gave me more breakouts!) but this is the only one that works. soooo ask your doctor about it like NOW and go get it.

Pros:

In the week I have been using BenzaClin my mild/moderate acne has cleared up greatly. It is working great and I am exicted about this, because I have not had clear skin since I was in middle school and I am going into my senior year, so thats a +!

Cons:

Leaves me face a little bit dry. I use this stuff from Mary-K that my mom got for me called Velocity and I use the cleanser in the shower, and put on the mosturizer, and than apply Benzaclin, I probably use too much, but its hard to agrue with the re

Buy it! I didn't have to pay a thing insurance covered it, anyone who just finally wants to clear up their skin get it
