Pros:

None

Cons:

Refrigerate it, so it's cold on my skin, it leaves behind white marks after putting it on, and my skin feels really dry.

It didn't help me at all, my acne is still here and increasing everyday.

Pros:

It works fast

Cons:

i have to refrigerate it

It works and its easy to use because it is just washing your face and putting Duac on. I have used it for two years and so far my body isn't immune to the medication. Im glad about that = D

Pros:

It actually works!! My mild acne has decreased a lot.

Cons:

The first week and a half I used it my face was really dry, burned and itched.

Overall, I definitely recommend it. It has cleared my face up, and I no longer have the side effects. It doesn't burn or itch when I put it on anymore as long as I put on moisturizer before using it. The first week of use my face actually broke out more than normal. Don't let this stop you from using it! It cleared up within another week and a half. After almost three weeks of use, I'm finally seeing results. So be patient!

Pros:

Clears up acne really fast

Cons:

Can dry your face out and make it itchy and sometimes red.

Awesome product for any ace i believe, i had moderate acne but ever since i used this product in the morning my acne had been hardly noticeable, i stoped using it for a while during the day because i did not like going to school with my face being all dryed out, but now its summer vacation and i will use it every morning. Please get this product if you want results!!!!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Dried out skin and made acne worse.

Started watching my diet, drinking ACV, taking vitamins including B5, and switched to Differin. Acne is now a lot better.

Pros:

After a few weeks of use, it gives you great facial skin to flaunt. It definitely keeps acne away.

Cons:

Your skin might feel dry, tight, itchy after it is applied. It usually doesn't last for more than a few minutes. Moisturizer usually helps.

Benzaclin is the only acne medication that has worked for my skin. I recommend to everyone and anyone that has had problems dealing with acne. It usually takes more than a few weeks for your acne to clear up, but it's well worth the wait. Once it's gone your skin is back to normal. I used it all throughout high school and I've never had clearer skin. It works great!

Pros:

Effective and more convenient than its competitors

Cons:

Price

Expensive but very effective when used as part of a clear skin regimen (washing face, moisturizing, etc 2x a day w/ recommended products).
March 13, 2007

Pros:

Duac worked fast and did not make my face irritated.

Cons:

I used Benzaclin in a pump not good. The pump was hard to work with different amounts and got all over - messy. My Mom threw it away and took me back to our dermatologist.

I'm sticking with Duac ad seeing my face clear up.

Pros:

within a few days will get a much clearer complexion,as it unblocks pores.

Cons:

face may go red.if used more than necessary amount skin peels and burns.

Less is more when applying this product,i know all of us are keen to get rid of those nasties which have an awful habit of cropping up just before a date-but please resist the tendency to slap this product on or else you'll live to regret it the next day!
January 24, 2007

Pros:

It works quickly and effectively

Cons:

It dries out the skin and if you put more than what you need it can even burn your skin as its got benzoyl peroxide.So be careful.

Its a very good product, better than most of the acne medicines that are available over the counter e.g. Freederm...(waste of money and time) No matter how oily your face is, you need to moisturise it after 15-20 mins of applying DUAC as it switches off your natural moisturiser tap (stops sebacious glands from producing oil)hence drying ur face. so put some cream on to stop it from drying and geeting wrinkly.
