Pros:

Not sure yet just started using.

Cons:

pricey, even with insurance.

I just started this product about a week and a half ago, I'm not sure how well it is working because I have gotten a couple new cysts since starting it, I am hoping it gets worse before better, but overall I think it is pretty good.

Pros:

Worked very well in the beginning, prevents breakouts.

Cons:

After a while it wasn't as potent, (Like my skin became immune.) doesn't work well on larger pimples.

When I use Benzaclin at twice a day and wash my face in the morning, along with a oil-free moisturizer it keeps acne at bay. But I'm not sure if it's the best solution to my acne.

Pros:

works on a few zits to slightly shrink with time

Cons:

didn't work at all for me
really dried out my skin
gross looking once it dries

This is a hit or miss product. It might work on a fraction of your zits somewhat, but overall it does nothing but dry you out to the point that you look like your face is peeling off in spots. I think its the worst product I have ever used. I have mild acne. When I started putting it on pimples they began to stay on my face longer than ever before. I have pimples that have now been on my face for over 2 months. They seem to shrink at first but then they just linger on and on. On some pimples it does nothing no matter how much or little you apply or how often, believe me I've experimented with it quite a bit. When it dries on your face it looks like a big glob of Elmer's glue, very noticeable and unattractive. Plus a bottle of it only lasts 3 months before its totally ineffective so you have to get it refilled quite a bit. I've used it for 4 months and its done nothing for me, but, as I said, make my zits stay longer than ever before and dry out my face worse than any product ever

Pros:

This product is great! The dermatologist told me to use it nightly and in 2 weeks I'd start to see results. Well she was right! It did take exactly 2 weeks for it to start working, but I've been blemish free for almost a month now!

Cons:

Bleachs pillow cases

Great product. If you have insurance it is covered with a co-pay.

Pros:

REALLY works. no joke.

Cons:

just dries the skin out... use shea butter to moisturize it.

i have tried EVERYTHING... proactiv, OTC, natural pills... i've had acne since i was 10 (im 17 now), and nothing has worked until now. even with the dryness, it is DEFINATELY worth it.

Pros:

It has begun clearing up my troublesome acne after using it for about a week. Love the fact that it is fragrance free.

Cons:

I have none and it is probably to soon to tell.

I have tried so many otc acne medications, and this is the only one that has shown fast results. I have only been using it for about a week now along with Tazorac and it has made a big difference. I apply the Duac on in the mornings and the Tarzorac at bedtime. I am in love with this product. I wish I would have known about it a long time ago.

Pros:

It has worked very well for me. I have oily skin so drying hasn't been a problem for me. My insurance covers it, Thank goodness!

Cons:

It bleaches my pillow cases and it has to be refridgerated. Otherwise, I have no problems with it.

I used Murad for a few days and was disgusted with the purging process. I used this to clear it up and it worked like a charm!

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.
July 26, 2007

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!
