Pros:

clears skin and makes it feel smooth at first

Cons:

after a while it stops working. Leave your skin dry and causes a slight burning sensation.

Nick, Michigan and I probably have the same dermatologist. I have the same Duac and defferin regimen. It doesnt seem to be a great combo for me. I'm think my skin is starting to get immune the ingredients. I would recommend Duac to you guys because over all it can be great at first.However I dont think it will be apart of anyone's regimen in the long run. I call it a temporary fix

Pros:

Has benzoyl peroxide in it, which everyone knows is good for acne. Helps dry up oily skin.

Cons:

Burns a little, makes face red and BLEACHES everything it touches.

I don't think Duac is any different from an over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide treatment. I've been using it along with Tazorac (which is awesome) and Doryx and my skin is definitely improving, but I just don't think Duac is worth the cost.

Pros:

I did notice that it started to clear up my acne in the first few months, but after that it didn't help much.

Cons:

Stopped working after a few months, dryness, and it has a perticular scent.

It worked for a while, but overall didn't really help.

Pros:

Works very well. Results can be seen almost immediately.

Cons:

Sometimes leaves skin dry.

i've used this medicine for almost 7 years. i've tried proactiv and this is the only medicine that has worked for my skin type. i have very oily skin and this medicine takes care of that and leaves my skin smooth. results are almost immediately noticeable.

Pros:

works AMAZINGLY in the beginning and then slowly stops working. Don't get me wrong, my skin would probably be much worse if i weren't on it...but its still not at all what I'd like it to be.

Cons:

redness and really dry skin. skin WILL become immune to it after awhile.

This product is good if you have mild acne. For those of you (like me) with moderate acne, this just doesn't cut it. I still have to wear make-up because my skin still is not good...Im still looking for something that will work better, I'm just hesitant to go on accutane.

Pros:

It does reduce the acne. I've tried other products like Clearasil Kit and ProActiv, but it seemed to make it worse. So I've decdtided to go back to Duac.

Cons:

Dries up a little

Seems to be the most consistent product for me.

Pros:

Almost completely eliminates zits in your problem areas. Didn't get super dry and flakey.

Cons:

Turns problem areas red a significant amount of the time which makes red marks way more obvious and draws more attention to the problem area. Not cheap.

A non-elegant solution (but is any acne solution elegant...?) that, for me, HAS ONLY WORKED ON STOPPING ZITS. NOTHING MORE. This absolutely did not remove blackheads, even out skin tone, or fade red marks. Seems like more of a clumsy, teenage-geared product. Can give me red cheeks at age 25...not the best look. I only use this once at night. Excellent at stopping zits but not very kind on the skin. Would not in a million years try this twice a day. I WILL USE THIS ONLY AS LONG AS I STOP GETTING ZITS WHERE IT IS APPLIED. THE SECOND IT STOPS WORKING AS WELL AS IT DOES NOW AT ITS ONLY PRO, SO LONG, BENZACLIN!

Pros:

Not sure yet, just started it

Cons:

Burns the skin hardcore. Even with moisturiser my face looks sunburned.

i just started it so i dont no if it works or not yet, but based on my past experiences with multiple acne medications, it probably wont. my face looks sunburend after putting it on and it kind of hurts for a couple hours after i put it on, and it smells too. im just hoping that after a couple of days my skin will start to tolerate the duac and maybe be less red?
