Pros:

none

Cons:

it makes ur face hard and it bleaches ur clothes, and it is visible when it dries

I would not recommend this because I have been using this stuff wit retin-a micro, and solodyn everyday since November of 2006 and it has been 8 months and I still haven't seen any improvements.

Pros:

it works great, and you can see results in just a matter of days.

Cons:

the cream gets pretty flakey and it's sometimes visible on ones face.

i have stuggled with acne for so long and it is such an embarassment for anyone to deal with, i recommend benzaclin because you can see the results pretty quickly. in additon, i only paid 5 dollars for my benzaclin because my insurance covered it. best of luck with this product!

Pros:

Works very fast, bleaches blackheads after a couple days, helps with mild rosacea.

Cons:

Dries the skin aggravating Rosacea at first. Burning sensation.

I've been on Accutane 3x and still had skin imperfections my doctor felt wasn't serious enough for a 4th course of Accutane treatment. I've only been on Benzaclin for 4 days and am already seeing impressive results. Breakouts have stopped since my 3rd course of Accutane but Rosacea starting coming back with a vengeance along with blackheads galore on my nose. It burns like hell at first but goes away. I would recommend using it only once daily preferably at night until you're used to it so your skin isn't glowing red by morning. Make sure to moisturize. DO NOT get this stuff near your eyes! Wash your hands thoroughly after applying in case you rub your eyes while in bed. I woke up the next morning with my right eye nearly swollen shut.

December 22, 2008

Pros:

It cleared up ALL my acne and left no scars.

Cons:

YOU BECOME IMMUNE TO IT!!!!!!!! and the acne will return!!

It does get rid of the acne, within 4 months i was completely clear.........HOWEVER i became immune to it after about 7 months and the acne came back. The acne isnt as bad as it was before starting the treatment but by no means is my face clear! This is not a permanant cure!!!
November 24, 2008

Pros:

Seems to help stop those deep ones from becoming an F*ing monster that ruins my life for 2 weeks.

Cons:

Flaky Skin, some redness

Helps keep those deep that the retin-a or ziania wouldn't keep from exploding during the day into something that I need to hide from for weeks. Redness and flakeyness around the area for a few days but that painful bump turns into a tiny whitehead a few days after starting it's bacterial coup d'etat in my cheek or chin...
April 26, 2008

Pros:

Works well at the beginning. I had this, and Retin -A prescription, and this worked much better for me

Cons:

I'm pale, so makes me very photosensitive.... Also, I thought it was my imagination but see other people writing it here, that the effectiveness seems to wear off, like you get immune to it.

It's a good quick fix for mild to medium acne. I don't know that it truly 'cures' your acne..it just allows you to treat it whenever it come back
October 23, 2007

Pros:

my skin wasnt as oily & the pimples seemed smaller

Cons:

the first morning after applying it at night, i woke up with very red, dry, itchy cheeks, but my forehead didnt have any problems. that night i only applied it to my forehead and my cheeks were still a little red from the previous application.

3 nights after my first application (which was at night) and my cheeks are still pretty dry, but the pimples i had are definitely smaller. i really want to get rid of my pimples which aren't too bad to begin with, just really annoying and desgusting. hopefully this works !!
