Pros:

It works really fast, and i don't have to use it a much as prescribed.

Cons:

It does dry my skin out a bit but oly if I use it twice a day everyday out of the week. I usually use it once a day and maybe every other day depending on how my face is looking.

This stuff works, i used proactiv first and it was ok but when my doctor prescribed this to me it worked immediately. Makes my skin really clear and the dark spots that blemishes leave behind fades really fast after using it.

Pros:

It's been clearing up my face more than any other acne treatment i've tried. However I am using it in combination with differin topical cream.

Cons:

I havent been able to get a tan because i'm afraid of what the sun exposure might do. It causes a lot of flaking which makes make up hard to apply.

So far it seems to be doing the job my face isn't so red from the acne.I have been clear in certain parts of my face for the past few weeks in a row. I can see its starting to clear up my jawline more. I've been using it for almost a month now and i'm just hoping the results are only going to get better! =) It's really affordable with a health plan too!!

Pros:

In combination with oral antibiotics, and later the regimen, it cleared up my acne almost completely. When I was on oral antibiotics alone, I had no results until I tried Duac.

Cons:

Very expensive, in my opinion, because most medications are subsidised here and acne medication is not. Luckily, one tube can last me like two months.

If you have mild to moderate acne, try a combination of Duac and oral doxycycline 50mg/day. It will clear up your acne within about a month.

Cons:

Dry, itchy, and scaly skin

I luv this medicine! I recommend it to anyone, even though I paid alot out of pocket for it. Worth it!

Pros:

It absorbs easily into my skin, improves my skin's texture, and works to heal my breakouts and simultaneously prevent future ones. I like the feel of the gel on my skin.

Cons:

Cause it's BP, it really makes your skin very dry, which has caused my sensitive skin to turn red and flake. You also have to apply the medication very carefully, as it balls up and you need to wipe off the excess stuff. Oh, and it goes fast.

I started this medication three months ago with Differen gel at night and Duac in the day. I exfoliate before application with Aveeno facial wash with some soy extract. After medicating, I apply Purpose redness-reducing moisturizer. I have found that the best results come with A. a healthy diet, and B. being as gentle and careful as possible with the process. The only real problem I have now is how shiny my face is all the time. Not really oily, but shiny. And of course, there are also the red marks and the remaining scars. Anyway, I highly reccommend Duac gel, it has really helped me a lot, whether it is reducing inflammation or improving skin texture.

Pros:

I've only been on the med with my sis for 4 days and my face is much clearer. No redness or itching or any side effects but I am using a non-oil based sunscreen (Eucerin) for moistrue and protection.

Cons:

NONE

It's the only medication thats worked for me in years. I've tried every over the counter product for a prolonged time. I've tried oral antibiotics ,Tretinoin cream and even Proactive to no avail. I am very thankful my doctor prescribed this to me and my sister and we are both just amazed as to how well its been working. I've had acne for four years now and in four days my face has been seemingly revitalized. I recommend this to anyone with stubborn acne, it may be a tad expensive but it will save you face value in the long run ;p
