Pros:

Completely cleared my skin (together with Differin)! Fast acting! Affordable (with insurance).

Cons:

Dryness. A little redness (if u have sensative skin).

The only thing that has worked for me. After one and 1/2 weeks my skin is completely clear. I use it at night time and Differin 0.1% in the morning. Drys out your skin a little, so I use DML Lotion (recommended by my Dermatologist). Bottom line: it works!

Pros:

tigtens up my skin
skin feels less oily than normal

Cons:

not sure yet....

I just used it for the first time this morning, I was perscribed to use this and retin-a micro at night. I am also supposed to take amoxycylin 2 times a day. Does anyone have experience using these together? Do they work? I am desperate!

Pros:

affordability, works fast (at first)

Cons:

Dries out skin, stops working after a period of time

Benzaclin was my LIFESAVER...but after a year of using it, it stopped working and my skin got even worse. It made my skin very dry and sometimes even peel. I'm giving it a high rating because it worked with me for a little while but now, I'm on a new prescription...Better luck to beginning Benzaclin users!

Pros:

IT WORKS REALLY FAST IN JUST 3 DAYS I NOTICED A BIG CHANGE IN MY SKIN.

Pros:

Works great, really fast

Cons:

makes skin really dry, and peels

I've used this product for only a week, and have already seen huge results. i have very mild acne, and this did the trick so fast. It definately left my skin really dry, but with a good moisturizer there's not too many problems. It says you should use it twice daily, but i only use it once, and it's fine. Also, never put it on, before doing any sports or anything, because it burns like crazzyy! Bottom line: IT WORKS

Pros:

Goes on smoothly, has worked well so far

Cons:

Seems to not work as well over time

I started using Duac and really loved it at first, my acne was pretty bad but it cleared up beautifully. I just moved from LA to San Diego and have been using Duac for the last 7 months, and am suffering from my first really bad breakout since I started the medication. I've been using Duac liberally but it has made no difference. Works best when coupled with proactiv's sulfur mask (I use it as an overnight spot treatment)

Pros:

clears up acne over time

Cons:

takes a long time. causes pain if used regularly

it works over time, but if you need to totally get rid of your acne i dont recommend it.

Pros:

I swear my adult acne felt better (less sore and itchy) in hours. I also took minocycline for a month and then just the Duac.

Cons:

None. I am so thrilled; was at the point where I didn't want to leave the house because my skin made me so self concious. Now I have an occasional, slight breakout (PMS associated) that I can live with w/o taking oral meds.

Highly recommended. Changed my life.

Cons:

Did not work at first

I used to use Duac for about a month and a half and saw no change.....i wore it during the day and didnt avoid sun contact and nothing happened, but no one told me anything about putting it in the fridge. i want to kno if anyone can help me out with why to put it in the fridge.
