Pros:

Good product! Heals acne FAST! Evens skin tone.

Cons:

Dries skin out but not too badly. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS EXACTLY and only use a SMALL amount. I reccommend to NOT use a moisturizer bc it can make things worse. It will only appear to be dry after the first hour of application, after its fine.

Overall its a great product/ Ive only been on it for 3 days but ive seen improvment fast. Even thought its a bit pricey, i highly reccomend it. And ive tried EVERYTHING. even proactive, which didnt help.

Pros:

Works fast, bleaches blackheads, if you have an open pore from a pimple it will seep in and dry out the pimple fast.

Cons:

Works only temporarily- 6 mths to a year, then your skin adjusts. Bleaches towels and clothes like pro-active and clear-skin regime. Expensive.

I've used this for a year,worked alone for 9 months, then alternating evenings with Rx Differin. Together these worked for awhile, and now my skin returned to the same, no worse, no better. I never had burns or major stinging, and no redness. Do not over-apply, this will waste product, and results will not change. I read all the postings on this before I took it, this info should help you. I keep Benzaclin in my make-up bag for emergencies- It does clear up the juicers. (Eww, lol.) I'm only taking Differin because my pharmacist suggested it, but I am switching to baking soda after reading the postings on it.

Pros:

My face has cleared up significantly since using this process and the one new pimple that I did get went down quickly.

Cons:

My face is definitely itchy & extremely dry;made the mistake of using a moisturizer w/salicylic acid & it BURNED my face more than it normallly does; face looks like it's sunburnt and red & feels stiff like leather.

I'm not sure what to make of this product yet because it's only been one week since I've used it, but so far the acne seems to be clearing up (though I've been in some physical discomfort as a result...i.e. burning sensation on my face as well as an itchy face). However, my face still has these darkened spots which I believe are acne scars, but overall, minus the redness and flakiness, my face has looked better. Hopefully, it will only get better from here.

Pros:

Clears acne with time

Cons:

Causes major redness
Causes very dry skin

This is not an over night solution. After about a month of use my zits started to go away but the side effects are not worth it. They zits might have gone my skin was left looking like a tomato. When I would get out of the shower my skin would crack from the dryness even if I had been using moisturizer. The other night I tried to use it as spot treatment. The next morning I woke up the zits were not gone and I had red blotches all over my face. So even if the zits are gone the redness and dryness leaves your skin looking horrible - not worth it.

Pros:

Easy to use

Cons:

Drying, irritating (itches), didn't improve acne (it worsened), inflammation associated with use

I started using this medication after I was successfully clear for nearly a year with minocycline and was prescribed this by my family practice doctor. I am a teenager so maybe my hormones affected my skin but within 2 weeks my face flared up with new red and peeling acne that was quite painful. After applying the medication for 4 weeks total, it only further exacerbated the acne. Never again...

Pros:

Pimples less severe if any at all
Reduces redness and scarring

Cons:

Gets a little worse before it gets better...much better though!

I'm 39 and still get quite severe acne around my chin. It's hideous and completely embarassing. I'd been using Differin before the birth of my second child, but had to stop as you can't use it whilst pregnant. Not that I needed it though as my skin totally cleared up whilst I was pregnant...must have settled all those hormones!! I only use Differin at night in combination with Eyracne and it works!! The only other treatment I found that worked other than Differn was the pill and as I don't want to take hormones just to control my acne, this has been the perfect solution. I find my acne is very hormonal and this this is a fabulous solution.
