Pros:

Clears up Acne

Cons:

Leaves face red and tender...and it feels greasy...and hurts.

I don't know...I used it for a while, and it worked, but then it started to turn my face under my eyes bright red...I couldn't even apply my moisturizer because my face hurt so bad there. If you have tough skin, go for it, but if it starts to turn your skin red, stop using it, because the redness will only get worse and more painful...

Duac didn't work for me. My doctor switched me to Benzaclin. Benzaclin cleared me up in about 2/3 weeks and is available in a pump. The pump gives me the exact dose I need to put on without fussing w/ it. The expiration is almost twice as long as duac which will save me money when I need refills.

Pros:

within a few days will get a much clearer complexion,as it unblocks pores.

Cons:

face may go red.if used more than necessary amount skin peels and burns.

Less is more when applying this product,i know all of us are keen to get rid of those nasties which have an awful habit of cropping up just before a date-but please resist the tendency to slap this product on or else you'll live to regret it the next day!

Pros:

Clears up pimples quick

Cons:

Leaves skin swollen,red, dry, puffy, hot, itchy

I had used this product for maybe two years after other products had been too strong and destructive towards my skin. In the past few months-I have been getting some sort of allergic reaction from it as my eyes have swollen shut and the skins on my face becomes extremely red, puffy, itchy, hot. While it DOES clear up acne, the side-effects are not worth the pain

Pros:

Cleared up about 95 percent of my skin. I use retin-a micro jel with it..to smoothen my skin..which omg is sooo soft and smooth!

Cons:

The first couple weeks, of using this product along with the retina JEL..Was very painful(stings,itchy). And I have the most sensitive skin. But I could see improvement, as did my friends/family.

Holly fractions! This stuff is expensive! If you pay 150 a month for 12 months, thats 1,800 PER year! So in 5 years, thats NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS! Oh, wait..I'm also taking Retin-a the jel, thats about another 120 dollars a month! So in five years, thats about 16,200$..pending they don't increase the price of these products. Is it worth it? If you have the money, or that good insurance..sure! If not???

Pros:

I have tried many solutions from my doctor percripted me to. None worked.

Cons:

It stings?! and is verrry dry.. stiffens up my face.

My "ex"friend left it at my house. She has NO ACNE and I am extremly embarrest of it. I dont even like my boyfriend touching my face or even looking at me for a long time because Im so parinoid of it. By using benzaclin i think that it will help.. cause it helped my friend.. (flawless)

Pros:

clears up acne 100%!

Cons:

extremely drying. stick it out for a few weeks and it'll get better. My dermatologist has a special moisturizer he makes, that works wonders

FABULOUS! The only thing that has ever worked for my skin. My face had gotten so severe that I was told I'd have to take accutane. In the meantime i started taking minocycline and benzaclin for the month and a half before i would go back to the derm to start accutane. When I went back for my follow up, my dermatologist didnt even think i was in for my acne (it was gone, cleared up!) Don't bother with Retin-A or Differen, I've tried it all. This is the ONLY product that works.

Pros:

No more active pimples.

Cons:

Doesn't reduce appearance of scars, and its VERY expensive!

I used this in combination with retin A micro at night for a month now. And I took solodyne/one a day. My face still has many battle scars left. The duac + retin a micro helped control break outs, but my scars and blemishes remain. Also, this treatment makes your skin become sensitive, even if it wasn't before, so use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer. Don't use cleansers with strong active ingredients. This will likely make your face flare up. My friends thought I went on vacation, because my face became red! BOTTOM LINE- controls acne in conjunction with other medications. Expensive. Does little for blemishes.
