Pros:

doesnt irritate my face

Cons:

VERY expensive!!

I had tried Duac before in the past and it worked wonders. I stopped using it for about a year or so because of the price. My face started getting really bad in the past fews months, so now I am trying the Duac again. I hope it works as well as it did before!!

Pros:

Face has cleared up in about three weeks.

Cons:

I have more dark spots on face since using this product.

Does make face a lot tighter considering I had extremely oily skin. It is pretty pricy, but if it helps with the breakouts, it will be well worth the money.

Pros:

I've only been using this for a week and have noticed a difference already.

Cons:

The price! I had to pay $25 for 45 grams and I still have 5 more refills to get.

I'm a little confused because it says on the box (and also the pharmacist told me) to put it on BEFORE bedtime (at night!). Some people have complained about not being able to go out in the sun - there is NO sun at night! It also says on the box that you can apply your makeup on top of the duac, but who wears make up to sleep?

Pros:

It dries out my pimples very quickly. Within the first couple days of use. I have only been using it for a little over a week.

Cons:

Benzaclin does dry out my skin and make it itchy. It's not so bad if you use an oil free moisturizer.

I found that the white heads that had been invading my chin were brought to the surface and turned into pimples. I think that maybe this is part of the healing process, because eventually those white heads would have turned into pimples anyway. Hopefully the pimples will dry out...even though I am left with that annoying red spotted scar afterwards, at least it isn't as bad as having pimples covering my whole chin.

Pros:

Just got Benzaclin. It's already started clearing up most of my black heads and white heads. My scarring has also faded a little.

Cons:

Burns, drys, and irritates. Eventually those reactions went away for me.

Great stuff. Will get rid of mild acne quick and make your skin look good.

Pros:

Benzaclin is the best acne medication I've had thus far. Tretinoin Retin-A, to name one, pales in comparison to benzaclin for me. I've been using benzaclin for about almost 5 years.

Cons:

At first, it did make my face peel quite a lot which is the worst if you plan on wearing foundation, etc. So, be sure to use sparingly in the beginning. It also GAVE me burn identical to sunburn. It also doesn't help at all when I'm on my period.

This stuff works. I wanted to go on accutane beacuse I still do not have a clear face. I have a very uneven skin tone and lots of redness. It has helped with scarring a bit, but it hasn't taken away my blemishes. It worked wonders on me when I first started using it almost 5 years ago, but now it doesn't work as well. Maybe some kind of clindamycin tolerance... it never bleached any of my hair. It is DEFINITELY worth it if you want something that works, but I can't promise that it will work to perfection. Just don't waste your money on something like tretinoin retin-a if you have REAL acne. Benzaclin is a much better choice.

Pros:

reduces break outs and causes redness to go away. Should see clearer skin in about 2 weeks

Cons:

burns at first, especially after using shaving cream. Makes skin peel, but dont give up. Many people do.

Its an effective product. U should very small amount. One pea size amount should be used on all of the face. Dont use more than that, otherwise ull get ithching and peeling.
