Pros:

It works very fast.
It works well.

Cons:

It can cause delayed allergy.
Costs a lot.
Stains things.

I tried this cream and within 10days my skin was remarkably clearer, though obviously it wasn't 100% but i never got to continue with Duac as i had a delayed allergic reaction to the benzoyl peroxide. My face swelled, my skin on my chest, fact, neck and shoulders burnt, red, itchy and very sore. I had to have 4 steroids a day and an antihystamine which still hasn't cleared it up!!! My god this rash drives me insane, it keeps me awake and is so sore and itchy. Seriously, u get this cream, put it on your shoulder for a week first to be sure that you are not allergic. Regardless of it all though, i do still recommend it!! Mad i know, but it really does work!-well, if you're not allergic to it lol!!

Pros:

Works fairly quickly. Gets rid of annoying blemishes. Doesn't burn on application and dries quickly. No smell.

Cons:

EXPENSIVE... wouldn't even consider it without insurance... even with insirance it's still 50 bucks. I wish it didn't have a 3 mo exp, because sometimes I'm not done with it by then and I gotta toss it.

WORKS.

Pros:

Not sure yet just started using.

Cons:

pricey, even with insurance.

I just started this product about a week and a half ago, I'm not sure how well it is working because I have gotten a couple new cysts since starting it, I am hoping it gets worse before better, but overall I think it is pretty good.

Pros:

This product is great! The dermatologist told me to use it nightly and in 2 weeks I'd start to see results. Well she was right! It did take exactly 2 weeks for it to start working, but I've been blemish free for almost a month now!

Cons:

Bleachs pillow cases

Great product. If you have insurance it is covered with a co-pay.

Pros:

REALLY works. no joke.

Cons:

just dries the skin out... use shea butter to moisturize it.

i have tried EVERYTHING... proactiv, OTC, natural pills... i've had acne since i was 10 (im 17 now), and nothing has worked until now. even with the dryness, it is DEFINATELY worth it.

Pros:

It has begun clearing up my troublesome acne after using it for about a week. Love the fact that it is fragrance free.

Cons:

I have none and it is probably to soon to tell.

I have tried so many otc acne medications, and this is the only one that has shown fast results. I have only been using it for about a week now along with Tazorac and it has made a big difference. I apply the Duac on in the mornings and the Tarzorac at bedtime. I am in love with this product. I wish I would have known about it a long time ago.

Pros:

It has worked very well for me. I have oily skin so drying hasn't been a problem for me. My insurance covers it, Thank goodness!

Cons:

It bleaches my pillow cases and it has to be refridgerated. Otherwise, I have no problems with it.

I used Murad for a few days and was disgusted with the purging process. I used this to clear it up and it worked like a charm!
