Pros:

None. I went to the dermatologist to get something that help an occasional pimple now and then and now my face looks horrible. I have pimples all over my face. My face has never looked like this.

Cons:

I have oily skin so I thought the drying was great but after a few weeks of use my face has a zillion pimples

Not for occasional breakouts

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:

Makes skin feel clean and tight after use.

Cons:

Doesn't clear skin

I've been using Benzaclin for one month. I must have tough skin because I'm not getting the dryness that everyone talks about. After use, my skin feels tight and clean, but the acne isn't clearing. As a matter of fact, I think I'm more broken out than before I started using 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.

Cons:

BURNS!! makes me pell really bad

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
