Pros:

Works very fast, bleaches blackheads after a couple days, helps with mild rosacea.

Cons:

Dries the skin aggravating Rosacea at first. Burning sensation.

I've been on Accutane 3x and still had skin imperfections my doctor felt wasn't serious enough for a 4th course of Accutane treatment. I've only been on Benzaclin for 4 days and am already seeing impressive results. Breakouts have stopped since my 3rd course of Accutane but Rosacea starting coming back with a vengeance along with blackheads galore on my nose. It burns like hell at first but goes away. I would recommend using it only once daily preferably at night until you're used to it so your skin isn't glowing red by morning. Make sure to moisturize. DO NOT get this stuff near your eyes! Wash your hands thoroughly after applying in case you rub your eyes while in bed. I woke up the next morning with my right eye nearly swollen shut.

Pros:

I noticed results within the second day. I was totally ecstatic to have clear skin.

Cons:

After reading the testimonials, I just realized that it does bleach your towels. I thought it was one of my many hair products.

I highly recommend this product, however continue usage. I did a home microdermabrasion and forgot to apply afterwards, huge mistake!! The zits and whiteheads are back on my forehead and cheeks. I cannot believe that missing one day, would reverse my results, unbelieveable!!! Just remember to stick to it!

dries the skin and causes the skin to become red - use with caution. The acne spots still remain.

Pros:

It cleared up my acne almost completely.

Cons:

It takes a while to see results, so impatient people BEWARE. I also have little acne scars left behind. Benzaclin dries the skin so be sure to use it in moderations. I recommend using a good moisturizer.

Its a good product and clears up acne very well. I've used proactive which worked for a while but then stopped working. I also used neutrogena, clearasil, natural remedies and many others but they didn't get the job done.

Pros:

It cleared up ALL my acne and left no scars.

Cons:

YOU BECOME IMMUNE TO IT!!!!!!!! and the acne will return!!

It does get rid of the acne, within 4 months i was completely clear.........HOWEVER i became immune to it after about 7 months and the acne came back. The acne isnt as bad as it was before starting the treatment but by no means is my face clear! This is not a permanant cure!!!

Pros:

Seems to help stop those deep ones from becoming an F*ing monster that ruins my life for 2 weeks.

Cons:

Flaky Skin, some redness

Helps keep those deep that the retin-a or ziania wouldn't keep from exploding during the day into something that I need to hide from for weeks. Redness and flakeyness around the area for a few days but that painful bump turns into a tiny whitehead a few days after starting it's bacterial coup d'etat in my cheek or chin...

Pros:

NONE!

Cons:

Everything. This product can be rather dangerous if you have a sensitivity to it that you werent aware of.

I used this product once after my derm perscribed it. After applying I immediately felt a burning/stinging sensation on my face which got so bad that I after 10 minutes I had to wash it off. Over the following few days my face swelled up, with my eyes nearly swelling shut, and then my skin started to peel really badly for several weeks. My skin has been extremely sensitive ever since (this was about 2 years ago now)
