Pros:

Works really well and really fast if the bacteria on your face are sensitive to clindamycin.

Cons:

Expensive. No side effects for me.

I'm 27. Horrible breakout in 2005. Struggled for months, finally saw a derma. Duac cleared it in less than a week. Used til March of 2009 and then neglected to get a refill. By July my face had exploded again and stayed that way til October when I finally saw my derma, got a new script for Duac, and my face cleared in 2 freaking days. Hate acne, but glad antibiotic cream keeps it at bay.

Pros:

I was using Retin-a Micro and Duac cream at the same time, which really, really helped out my acne. I began just using the Duac during the day and Retin-a Micro at night. My skin was clear and healthy looking.

Cons:

Using both topical skin medications it can cause some skin irrations and dryness..But I used Ambi daily skin cream for the skin dryness and was fine

I would recommend this product to anyone who has had no hope or progress with other medication and this is not a game...This is a true story about this product it is worth what ever you may have to spend on the product...last use for me was tonight @ 10-25-09 @10:30pm.

Pros:

it seems to be workign well. it took about a month to see real improvement. it's pretty cheap for me with insurance, only $10. it is drying but use cetaphil moisturizer and you'll be fine. also be sure to use a mild cleanser.

Cons:

drying, bleaches fabric, takes a while to work. after 1 month still not totally clear, but MUCH better!

try it. if you have isurance it'll be as cheap as any over the counter and it's def better than those. it comes in a huge bottle too, so i think it'll last for a long time! i really like it and am planning on sticking with it.

Pros:

It got rid of acne in a timely manner. My acne's almost 100% gone with an occasional (mild) breakout.

Cons:

Dries out my skin but I'm fine with the application of a daily moisturizer. Bleaches really easily- keep clear of clothes, bedspread, etc.

Really works and KEEPS working. It is so strong and my acne has been maintained. Once you start using it, be sure to keep using it (daily). I got free samples from my doctor and insurance covered part of the cost so it was inexpensive for me, but for some it could be a little pricey.

Pros:

gel, clears acne well at first, works great overnight, easy to wash off

Cons:

expensive, starts to work less over time, smells nasty

Get it but only for moderate acne and don't expect it to work forever.

Pros:

Gets rid of acne, definetly.

Cons:

It dries out the skin, and the topical gel part of it will stay on the day after if you use too much.

Use it every other day and you won't have to worry about peeling and dryness.

Pros:

Does not smell, Easy to apply, Quick Results, Perfect for overnight application

Cons:

Does make skin on the face a little tight, Expensive!

Excellent! I have used it for only a couple of days but have got great noticeable results after the first overnight application!! I was amazed with the results - I usually don't have acne but I got heaps and heaps randomly and it affected my life dramatically to the point where I didn't want to leave the house. I went doctors and got this cream/gel prescribed and I am also taking Doxycycline Tablets to complement the cream treatment!! I would recommend this product to anyone really who are affected by acne - it will clear your skin up not only fast but well!!! The product isn't superstrong - Don't put too much on and you should be fine. I have only experienced my face feeling a little tight where applied but it's not bad! Make sure to stick to it and wash your face before using the product! ONCE DAILY ONLY :) BUT YES BOTTOM LINE! AWESOME PRODUCT! Best I have ever tried. AUD$59 is quite expensive but getting rid of my acne has now given me back my confidence which is to me

Pros:

This product get's rid of large painful pimples in about a week..drying it up into a tiny white head.

Cons:

VERYYYYY dry skin. The dermatologist told me to use a make up remover called Albolene, which you can get at CVS Walgreens or riteaid to take my make up off..then just wash face with water..and water only!!! this will help the drying.

Love results so far, only been using for about 2 weeks.
