Pros:

worked amazingly for about 6 months

Cons:

stopped working after using for six months and all of my acne came back. i guess your skin eventually gets immune to it

if you have acne this should be the first treatment you use from the dermatologist if your acne comes back it will not be as severe as it once was. to fully get rid of your acne for good i would not recommend this product

Pros:

works fast, no intial bad breakouts from product, didn't dry me out

Cons:

My insurance does not cover the cost of this product so I pay $150 every 5-6 weeks to purchase this product and it is worth it!

I am 22 Female, caucasion with very fair skin. Rolling scars and hyperpigmentation. This is the only product in my having 10 years of acne that has ever stopped my breakouts and kept me clear. I would really recommend this if you have never used it before! Products I tried were Retin-A, differin, glycolic peels, dans regimen, and so many other I can't even remember. This product works for me and I hope it can help you! Now on to the scars.

Pros:

Easy to use, relatively cheap, works EXTREMELY well and quick.

Cons:

none

If used consistently as prescribed it will get rid and keep acne away. Cheap with a prescription.

Pros:

Clears up acne at a pretty fast rate. Helps with acne marks.

Cons:

Dries your skin too much.

It is a very good product, but dont put it everywhere. Since it is so strong you only put it on the problem areas(ur acne) not your whole face. If you put too much on it will be bad because it will just cause you to break out and it will not help you at all.

Too expensive for the results

Pros:

worked pretty well
very easy to use

Cons:

sometimes irritating
way too expensive for amount of results

I have acne and blackheads on face and back. I have no cystic acne. This product worked okay for me, but was not good enough for the expense. I used it for almost a year but am happier using another product that works better for me and is less costly by a lot.

Pros:

Works, cooling

Cons:

Dryness

I have had acne for 15 years and tried everything over the counter and prescription. This cream in the morning with trentoin at night is AMAZING! At first my acne got worse and the dryness was barely tollerable. My dematologist and pharmacist both told me to sick with it and it would get better. So, I started using a more mild cleanser and better moisturiser with spf30 and in literally two weeks the moisture was back and the acne was GONE! I have a couple remaining scars but they fade more everyday. I still get one or two pimples but they only last a day or two before they disappear completely. My doctor says even they will stop showing up if I stick with it. It's been a month and a half and this is the best skin I've had since puberty!

Pros:

Worked AMAZINGLY on body acne, cleared my back up in a few days!
Can also work great on the face IF your skin isnt sensitive and is really oily and can replenish itself from the way Duac dries it out
Quick results
Doesn't smell
Doesnt decrease in effectiveness over time

Cons:

I found it extremely drying after a while, skin (on your face) becomes bright red and very sore and peeling, and you feel as if youve burned your skin with chemicals
Took my skin weeks to recover from it
Bleaches clothes
Definitely wouldn't recommend it for use on the face

its a total life saver for body acne, especially on the back and neck. Its also cheap and doesnt decrease in effectivness over time. But if you have sensitive skin it's way too harsh for use on the face, I still use it on my back but not on my face
