Pros:

Clears everything from harsh acne, to one pimple which is just beginning to surface!

Cons:

This product can become very addictive due to the excellent results, and caused dryness for me around the nose.

I was recommended this product through a friend of my mothers. Her son used the product and was extremely pleased with the results, and so am i. After suffering with pimples since the age of 12, many years on i am still using Duac and will continue to until my skin problems are visibly over. I am very pleased with this product and recommend Duac to anyone who isn't pleased with there own skin at current.

Pros:

Cleared up my acne!!

Cons:

small tube

I had mild acne for years that would never go away. I tried every over the counter product I could find and spent a fortune until years later i eventualy went to the doctor and she prescribed me duac gel. The got positive results almost immediately.(It makes scars take longer to heal though) I noticed continual improvements and my acne fully went away after using duac for about 3 months. I continue to use it to stop the acne coming back. I put it on at night, in the morning i use neutrogena dry touch sunblock to moisturize. The result: soft smooth oil/acne free skin, yay!!

Pros:

will work extremely well for a time if your skin is sturdy

Cons:

after a while, your skin will not tolerate the product. makes skin unbearably sensitive.

if you have sensitive skin, you will be left with a scab-like look on your face, like somebody painted on your face with red paint, for a week or more. it is truly horrifying, and impossible to hide with makeup. if you dont have sensitive skin, you will get amazing results, clear up your acne completely, while you remain using the product. acne will return when you stop using it.

Pros:

For my moderate to severe acne prone skin, I began to see less pimples in in days. The gel also helped lighthen severe scarring from past breakouts.

Cons:

Very dry skin is my only side effect. The use of a good moisturizer and drinking alot of water works for me.

Washing my face with unscented dove and the use of this topical cream has been the best thing that has happen to my skin in years. I am also taking Doryx for severe acne sufferers which has also been a huge help. So be patient and let the medicine do it's magic and you will be very satisfied.

Pros:

None for me.

Cons:

Cost $140! Didn't work for me.

Anything is worth trying....but for me, this didn't work.

Pros:

love this product..i could see an improvement after four days of use. within 2 weeks it was all cleared.

Cons:

tends to dry out your face but just make sure that you use a moisturizer during the day time

I would high recommend this product to anyone who has had acne for a very long time and who has tried a lot of the other products that are out.

Pros:

Works, just stick with it.

Cons:

Makes skin dry, smells but not to bad.

Give it a go, I have moderate acne and it cleared me up when on it, im now back on it and waiting to see the results. I apply it after washing my face with warm water at night.

Pros:

great results, doesn't irritate or dry my skin, feels soft and smooth, doesn't smell bad, can wear under makeup

Cons:

none

duac is working better than the oral antibiotics I just got off of. I've only been using duac for about three weeks and I've had amazing results. My forehead has completely cleared and no more dry skin. I use differin at night and duac in the morning under my makeup. I'll keep it up cause I love having clear skin!

Pros:

combination of antibiotic/BP, disappears into skin, no shine or residue.

Cons:

very expensive without insurance, VERY small bottle that doesnt last long enough, possibly causes digestive problems. prescription only.

my insurance didnt cover it, so it was well over 100 bucks-for a very small bottle. I have had mixed results with it, sometimes it kills a zit thats starting to form, sometimes it doesn't. I use it alternating with retin-a, and that has fixed my forehead problem completely.

Cons:

does cause some drying and can be very expensive

can drastically reduce acne but is pricey and causes drying and some irritation/redness
