Pros:

Reduces large pimples, but thats about it's helped

Cons:

Leaves skin very flaky in the winter, works only for a short period of time, expensive - not worth the price

I've used this stuff since March (6 months) and it seemed to only help my acne for the first 2 months before I started breaking out again. Since then, its done nothing for me but take up space in the medicine cabinet. It's honestly a waste of your money and time.

Pros:

it clears my skin very quickly and prevents new acne from forming

Cons:

it has to be refrigerated, and it makes my chin a little itchy, but i think i just put too much there

this is the first thing ive used that works really quickly and doesnt irritate my skin, and i hope it stays that way considering ive only been using it a few days. i used differin and proactive before, differin worked at first but started irritating my skin, and proactive dries out my skin too much (even when usuing a moisturizer) and only improved my skin a little. i also used a neutrogena wave, which seemed to help, at the moment im out of the cleanser pads, but ill probably try using it with the duac. but continuing, with duac, there was a clear improvement after only one use. i use the cleanser and gel at night before going to bed, and that seems to be working, so i hope it continues to work well! and a lot of other people said it dries out their skin, but for me, my skin is only slightly dry, it was much drier before i started using duac. i really like this product and it seems to work well so far, its a big releif to see my skin clearing up!

Pros:

When I first got the benzclin gel, It worked really really well!!! I have used other products and no other product but this worked well Oh My Godda!!! GO FOR IT GUYS!!!!!! I dont get that much dry skin, and my face does not ever itch!!!!!!

Cons:

This medication expires after a few months, It doesnt work as well after a couple months. I because of it being so close to the expirary date. I dont like that really. I guess I may have to buy a new bottle after a couple months then.

I recommend getting It! But I found a new trick while using this product! Buy a cleanser that is not so heavy with the chemicals, Such as spectro gel!!!! Wash your face with spectro gel really well, and then apply the benzaclin gel and it will work even better!!!! Find a really great moisturizer, and a soft cleanser. Things like clean and clear and neutrogena have oils and chemicals that are really bad for your skin!!!! But Heck yes I recommend Spectro Jel cleanser and Benza clin gel!!! GO FOR IT DUDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

Works great, starts cleaning up acne very fast.

Cons:

Burns your face if youre in the sun, so wear sunscreen. Makes your skin very dry, and makes your skin peel.

I would really reccoment Benzaclin, its great, yoll see results fast just make sure you be careful in the sun when using it.

Pros:

i can tell it's working, clears new pimples in a day and is getting rid of all exsisting acne and even scars that i've had for almost a year

Cons:

dry flaky itchy tight red skin

in the beg. all the cons were really bad and i almost stopped it, but i kept going with it and ziana and minocycline and the dry, flaky, itchy, tight red skin is all going down to being almost not even there, and it's clearing up my skin and makes it feel really smooth after i apply it. i just hope it keeps working the way it is and that i don't get immune to it. idk what i'd do :[

Pros:

This product kept me mostly clear and dried up my oily skin.

Cons:

Causes significant digestive problems, and, in severe cases, can cause colitis.

I used this product for 4 years and while it seemed to really help my acne, I experienced a lot of digestive problems, which I didn't link to Benzaclin until just recently. After spending ridiculous amounts of money trying to cure my digestive problems, I finally started doing my own research and found that Benzaclin causes diarrhea and even colitis. I stopped using the product immediately. Now, I use Dan's BP gel, which seems to work just as well and without the horrific side effects. If you are using this product, please monitor your digestive health very closely and discontinue use if you notice problems.

Pros:

it works

Cons:

can dry skin

finally something that works. all I do is use the cleanser that it comes with at night and then apply the duac. the next morning I don't wash my face but I rinse it and make sure I get off all the excess duac. after using clindamycin for a while with good results, I got a couple more spots and then decided to try different things. I quit clindamycin about a year ago and since then haven't had as good of skin, until I found duac.
