Pros:

i think it has cleared up the tiny bumps on my forehead, as well as blackheads on my nose

Cons:

i'm not sure if this is just an initial reaction, but after one week of using it, i have 6 really big, red pimples on my forehead. everything else seems to be clear, though. It is also very drying and causes redness.

Not sure yet. I've only been using it for a week, so I guess it's a bit too early to tell. I just hope it's not going to screw up my skin. I didn't have very bad skin to begin with, but i began to break out all of a sudden on my forehead. my doctor said it was because of my bangs, which could be true.. but he prescribed it anyway. I hope the big pimples are from the cream just making all the crap under my skin surface, and after that i'll be clear? i'll post again in a few weeks to report how it's going. everything else seems to be fine though, especially my blackheads. my insurance didnt cover it either, so i paid 80 bucks.... but if it works, it's worth it. we'll see!

Pros:

It dries out my pimples very quickly. Within the first couple days of use. I have only been using it for a little over a week.

Cons:

Benzaclin does dry out my skin and make it itchy. It's not so bad if you use an oil free moisturizer.

I found that the white heads that had been invading my chin were brought to the surface and turned into pimples. I think that maybe this is part of the healing process, because eventually those white heads would have turned into pimples anyway. Hopefully the pimples will dry out...even though I am left with that annoying red spotted scar afterwards, at least it isn't as bad as having pimples covering my whole chin.

I think this product is very good, i have been using for about one month and it has been doing exactly what it says on the tin. I used to use it along with oral tablets every different kind you can think of. I gave up with the tablets and now just usethis DUac on its own and it is great. I use a 25ml tube every 4 days because i cover a large area generously. But thats ok because i don't pay for this cream. And if i did i would only pay £6.95 about USD$12

Pros:

Works well. I tried everything. This zaps the zits quickly and even gets the blackheads that were a problem for me too

Cons:

Dries your skin out! I use a mousturizer to combat it. I do feel wrinkled and dry somethimes though so use the mousturizer!

Good product. Wish it wasnt so pricey! I paid $140 USD when I didnt have insurance, and $60 USD with insurance for a 3 month supply. BUMMER!

Pros:

- It clears acne 99% (Even the deep, large acne) if used for a long time (months)
- Tube lasts a long time (you don't need much)
Note: I am also taking birth control pills
- I am still using it for my shoulders/back/neck. For some reason is works VERY well anywhere but my face.

Cons:

- It took 3+ months to see major results
- Dries skin on face so badly that I can't use on my face at all. It cleared my face from acne but now my sensitive skin is paying the price through dryness/flaking/oil and redness. I would NOT use on your face.

Use it to very effectively clear up moderate to severe acne on shoulders/back/neck. Just be prepared to wait a few months for results! I would not recommend this for use on your face.

Pros:

Definitely helped decrease my overall number of active acne spots

Cons:

Brought a lot of my spots to a "head", dried out my skin (expected this with the BP), and didn't completely clear my acne is just reduced the amount of it.

Works pretty good, but wasn't my miracle product. I alternating using it every other night, with retin A and lotioning my skin to death to keep it from flaking up on me.

Pros:

Clears up acne fast
Gets rid of big pimples
Works quick

Cons:

Sometimes drys white
May dry skin
Skin may feel tight for an hour or two

This product is the bread and butter of what I use on my face. It clears up acne and it stays clear. I have been off and on with this product so I could try out others but i always fall back on this one. Your skin takes about two weeks to get used to the drying that it does (after that your skin won't dry up much) but that's ok. So I recommend you use this stuff and get rid of your acne!

Pros:

apparently supposed to clear up moderate acne

Cons:

dry and itchy face
expensive if insurance doesn't cover it
takes awhile to work

i just got this prescribed to me by my doctor and i've been reading lots of reviews about it and a lot of people are very pleased with their results. i have pretty bad acne on both my cheeks, chin and forehead. first week of using it, my acne seems to be getting smaller, but not clearing up. i'm hoping to see the results that everyone's been getting with this in about a month or 2. i've been getting a lot of discomfort from the way my face gets really dry after applying the gel. but a good moisturizer helps. so good luck to everyone who uses this!
