Pros:

Clears your skin up the first month or so

Cons:

After the first month, man, it gets NASTY
Very Drying
Makes skin red

I wouldn't tell anyone to go on this. It's like a miracle the first month, despite the, raw, red, dry skin. but after that it gets horrible, I went from being completely clear to having 10 big red bumps on my face.

Pros:

started clearing up my acne in about two days. it has now been 4 weeks and my face is clear of all acne.

Cons:

use a good mosturizer after applying because Benzaclin does dry your face. I use clinique mosturizing gel (which is a great product)

Great product. Use it. Nothing has worked for me except this.

Pros:

I have been using BenzaClin for abut a year. I had HORRIBLE acne on my forehead and cheeks. Using BenzaClin twice a day made my acne disappear... BUT...

Cons:

BUT JUST RECENTLY IT HAS STOPPED WORKING FOR ME AND MY ACNE ON MY CHEEKS HAS COME BACK! I wash my face every morning and apply BenzaClin and i do the same before bed. But all the sudden my acne has just come back no matter how much BenzaClin i put on

Congrats to everyone that BenzaClin has worked for, but buyer BEWARE: your face may become immune to it after a while and your acne could come back. Oh and i forget to say that BenzaClin has bleached all of my hand towels.

Pros:

Worked Fast.

Cons:

drys out skin

It works if you have little acne and doesn't work for me because I put it on my zits and I got a even bigger zit on the bottom of my chin.

Pros:

Took out a lot of acne even in the first night

Cons:

found out I'm alergic to bp...red, burning, and itching all over my face! But it got rid of acne lol.

If you aren't allergic to bp use it and see how you like it.

Pros:

easy to apply

Cons:

smells bad, hardens on skin and makes skin tight, didnt really do anything for my acne

for whatever reason, this stuff simply did nothing for my acne. i guess its hit or miss. im currently using acnefree which is giving me better results, proactiv also gave me better results.

Pros:

Starts working after 3-4 weeks. Kept my skin clear for about a month.

Cons:

Stopped working. As almost all prescriptions it adds up.

Works well at clearing up acne but for me it only worked for about a month. But during that month i was virtually clear. The first week it can dry out your skin but after that it won't. Because its a topical antibiotic the side effects with antibiotics generally don't appear.

Pros:

Quick results, the acne has been getting worse for the last few months but i got this stuff from my dermatologist and it started working almost immediately!

Cons:

the PAIN!! it makes my face so dry that i can barely open my mouth to eat or smile. it also makes my face embarrassingly red

Get it, but don't use it too often! seriously it burns!

Pros:

Works ok

Cons:

Addiction; I got off of it for a month acne came back worse than before. Price; who has $200 to spend on an ounce of cream?

Only if you're made of money
