Pros:

WORKS instantly!! Overnight improvements! Great for those annoying, just won't go away zits :]

Oh, and it's CHEAP for how awesome it is!

Cons:

VERY drying. short shelf life (like 3 months, i think... so ya gotta use it up, or it's a waste!)

requires continous use. if i stop using this, ance comes back. so i'm bascially chained to this junk, it's okay though, because it workkkkks!!!

Definetely a miracle-product. Worth it! Will dry up pimples, almost instantly, promise :] Very drying, but I guess that means it's working! Because it is soooo drying, apply at night before you go to sleep (you cares if ya got dry skin while you're snoozing), then wash face in morning, and apply lotsa good moisturizer (i use sensitive skin Olay). Only thing is, you cannot be lazy with this, or it won't work! Use EVERY night... i swear if I skip a day or two, my skin will look bad!! WORKS, probably the best product out there, kids!

Pros:

I have been fighting acne for 2 years and this is the first product that completely cleared my face up. From time to time I will get one or two zits--- nothing compared to what it used to be.

Cons:

Dries out skin.. I've found that if you use oil free moisture (esp. neutrogena) and benzaclin it balances out the dryness and oil.

I recommend this product to anyone who has been fighting acne for a long time... this is the answer. One day, smaller zits. By one week- smoother skin and smaller pores.

Pros:

Clears up my skin really fast and prevents any new breakouts from occurring!! Amazing product.. put it on and the next day your pimples are noticeably smaller/gone! Amazing.

Cons:

Makes your skin EXTREMELY dry.. I use this in the AM and Retin-A Micro in the PM and my skin is super dry.. sometimes to the point of peeling. Find a mousturizer that works for your skin and you should be fine.

This product WORKS. It might dry up your skin, but if you want your pimples gone.. this will work for you. Just make sure you use a moisturizer with it and you will be super happy!! It's pretty expensive if you don't have insurance.. but with insurance, it only costs me $15 for a small container.. but it lasts for a LONG time (until it expires every 3 months).

Pros:

You can call benzaclin acne murderer if you want. gets rid of pimples with a week or so. (or more) it is the BOMB!

Cons:

dries out skin really bad and can cause peeling.

It is a very strong medication in my opinion and is the best there is. it is true it peels and dries your skin but it is worth it. another con is if you miss one use of it whether it is morning or night(you use it twice a day) then the skin backfires against it as if it is the first time you are using it. so to have good results you must, must, must, use it EVERY morning and night. you have to be obedient and not be lazy with this treatment to have results. so "get busy!"

Pros:

Easy to apply
Doesn't burn or sting

Cons:

Cold when applied because it has to be stored in the fridge.
Has to be used withing two months after opening
Doesn't help hormonal acne

I suffered from acne since the age of 11. I have used Duac during my pregnancy when my hormonal acne got out of control. It helped clear up some of my acne around the jawline. I have used it for about 4 months and didn't really see the results I was hoping for. Maybe its not made for moderate to severe cases of acne.

Pros:

Clears my Acne in just a few hours of using it. I can already see that it has reduced my redness and swelling.

Cons:

As everyone put it does leave skin dry but that happens with every type of medication.

It works, and with me using minocycline I can see my skin healing and getting better as im writing. Also with tricare I get an awesome price.

Pros:

It actually helps clear my skin. Although i did go through a small initial breakout, overall it does wonders. My skin usually gets dry with benzoyl peroxide alone but with clindamycin it seems to make it not as dry and oily in some areas.

Cons:

i guess the only con i would have with it is that the tube is kinda small and i have to back to the doc to get a refill, but that's not really the duac's fault

Try it if you have mild-moderate acne, it might work. and if clindamycin doesn't work that well by itself, then you have to try this because i think that the clindamycin and benzyol peroxide actually work better together than with just clindamycin by itself. plus the gel is so much easier to apply on and it goes on smoothly. i got it free with my insurance.

Pros:

It didn't make my blemishes worse (although it didn't help my situation either)

Cons:

My face and eyes swelled, were itchy & reddened

I used it for about 2 weeks, every other day, but couldn't do it anymore after it irritated my sensitive skin & made it itch like crazy, even while using a moisturizer. I recently started using Sulfacetamide Sodium (Klaron) which has been great so far; no irritation or redness, and I don't even have to use a moisturizer, which is unbelievable for my skin. It was a little pricey considering I didn't get to use it much. I think I'm just hyper-sensitive to Benzoyl Peroxide, so beware if you are too!

Pros:

No side effects for me.

Cons:

Made my face worse even after a good period of time.

When I started using this product, for the first few days my face looked got worse and looked horrible. I kept using it because my dermatoligist told me that this is normal. After about two weeks my acne got a litte better. After a month and a half of use, there had been no progress at all. My acne was worse than when I started, so i stopped using it. It has only been two days and I have noticed a difference. This item just did not work for me.
