Pros:

Clears up pimples pretty good.

Cons:

Dries skin randomly, and when it does dry my skin it dries it really bad. Redness. and makes my face feel stiff without a lotion on top.

I would recommend this product, it has cleared up my skin pretty good even though it took awhile, but now i have red scaring on my face. Not caused by the benza clin though. Now my problem is finding something to get rid of scars while still using benzaclin to clear pimples away.

Pros:

Fast-acting; Pimples disappear within days

Cons:

Drying, peeling, burning rash

Because of the drying affect I only use spot application to dry up the pimple. Then I use clindamycin topical lotion all over my face in a very thin layer. At night I don't have to use moisturizer. In the mornings I use the spot application of benzaclin, all-over clindamycin and then sunscreen. Face looks great!

Pros:

This product is amazing!!! I haven't been using it for very long but not only does it not smell, it gets rid of my blemishes and red marks so quickly.

Cons:

Don't use it too much or too often at first. Otherwise you will either make your skin red or make it very, VERY dry. Use a pea-sized amount only!!!

Also it's very expensive if you don't have healthcare or the rebate. Ask your dermo for the reb

If your dermo offers this, take it! I've been using it with differin so I'm still in the purging stage but my skin (unblemished spots) feel sooooo nice! It's a baby's bottom it's so soft! I hope the results continue to be this good!

Pros:

I get the really bad cystic pimples that take forever to go away. They usually take about a week and a half to come to a head. This dried them up within a day.

Cons:

I hate that a tube only lasts 2 months before it expires. I refrigerate it to help it last longer---and that's a pain too. $50 with my co-pay, so that's $25 a month. Kind of expensive when combined with everything else I have to use for my face...

I can deal with the price and any other cons because so far this is the only thing that has worked for me. (I use it with Tazorac....Duac in the morning, Tazorac at night.) It's nice not to have to deal with Proactive or Murad et. My derm. recommended a basic cleanser and moisturizer. Said I really shouldn't be adding any more benzol or salacylic acid to the regimin with these 2 prescriptions.

Pros:

It didn't make me break out more. when i did break out they weren't as huge,

Cons:

it really didn't clear my skin up that much it made my skin les oily but teh pimples still stayed teh same and the rate at which they popped up didn't really change.

It's probably better if you don't have bad acne. If you have only inflamitory acne it would probably work, but my main issue is my acne marks. : (

Pros:

I've only been using this product for not even a week, and I already know a BIG difference!! - With Moderate Acne-

Cons:

I still use Nivia's- Cleanser and Exfoliator- and ONLY Proactiv's cleanser... so after putting Duac on it makes my face BURN, RED, uncomfortable, tight, and Flakey -- BUT --

I eliminated the dryness problem by using the following- Jojoba Oil all organic- for moisturizer (there is a substance in jojoba oil that imitates sebum oil so, once absorbed, the skin stops producing sebum oil) you can buy them in Health Food Stores. It's also good for your hair, nails, and the rest of your body. I also use Alba's aloe and green tea oil-free moisturizer(Which Aloe and Green Tea in it which obviously makes your skin soft/healthy). Also if you're like me and have dryness under the eyes try Burt's Bees Eye Cream... Which contains vitamins and 8 essential amino acids to soften the skin and firm the skin. It also includes (Royal Jelly which is one of the most powerful nutrient found in nature which is fed to the queen bee that lives 40 times longer and 50% bigger then the rest of the bees.) But Overall: Duac is great stuff, and is probably the smartest move I made towards getting rid of Acne. I hope when all you guys try this stuff, you also ge

Pros:

none yet

Cons:

very,very drying. very painful, forhead and eye area very swollen, puffy

Unless you have very severe problems, do a test area first. I am in pain from this product(followed directions) and never had any previous skin sensitivity. Need ice bag to help with the sting. Skin seems smoother though(probably from being stretched with the swelling)! Free sample from dermatologist.
