Pros:

Only thing that can kinda sorta control my severe cystic acne that leaves terrible and long lasting scars.

Cons:

Made my face a bit dry but thats what moisturizer is for, and it fixed that.

For me I have like the worst acne of anyone in the world and it leaves scars that last for about 6 months(I know CRAZY).This is the only thing that has helped me a little.My acne was mild-moderate but then I took minocycline(prescription antibiotic) and it made my face look more like a pepperoni pizza than a clear face. It has never been the same. Tell me if you find something that actually works.(By the way, I tried Murad for one night and it made my face look EVEN WORSE PLEASE IF YOU LIKE A CLEAR FACE DO NOT DO MURAD IT WAS EXTREMELY RED AND BLOTCHY AND STILL IS IM LOCKED UP IN MY HOUSE I CANT GO ANYWHERE IT LOOKS SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Pros:

cleared up skin really good, but i have moderate acne ONLY on my chin and forehead, but seriously my chin is terrible! Horrible under the skin one, and duac really clears them up well for about a month...

Cons:

.... then it just stopped working, started to again get outbreaks everyday, now getting then on my cheeks, and on my temples?

I stopped using it because it stopped working, but because nothing else has worked, back on it again, because of so many good reviews! But i'm using the same tube from like 4 months ago? Dunno if its expired, so gonna go back for some more. Hope it works so much, and hope i get good results like the rest of you guys. Sucks that im only 13. ¬ ¬

Pros:

Works quickly ( afer approx a few weeks use )
Easy to apply and unscented

Cons:

Can cause a little dryness and itching on sensitive skin

This stuff is pretty good. I have suffered from moderate / severe acne on my face for several years now and have tried many antibiotics and topical lotions. None of these worked. Eventually i went onto Roaccutane which although worked, was a little over the top and powerful. Since my acne broke out acne I though I would give Duac a go. After only 2-3 weeks use I am already starting to see some progress.

Pros:

Clears up blemishes and really does reduce acne. It is very important though to use a mild face wash such as cetaphil. I was using one containing cylisic acid and it wasn't getting better until I switched.

Cons:

Will dry out skin. Using a good moisturizer is very important. Slight redness, the redness seemed to go away though. Depending on how bad your skin is infected when starting this you may break out worse. This gel goes deep to retrieve bacteria.

Stick with it for at least 2 months then decide if your skin has improved. Mine got much worse at first b/c the medication was getting all the bacteria out. Once your skin starts clearing up stick with it. Taking a break from using it is really bad.

Pros:

got ride of my cysts on my forhead in like 1 WEEK or less that i can remembre...also improved marks and scabs fell off within 2 days :D

Cons:

dried out my face a little but hardly at all...and id rather have a bit of dry skin then pimpless :}

i was about 12 years old when my docter percribed this for my face and well it worked amazing. and about 2 months of useage i stopped it and my face kept clear for about another year or so. Then i started getting moderate acne but wasent half as bad as what i had before, though it still bothered me so i went back to the docter to get some more and i forgot the name of the cream so i told her the white cream and then she said she new what i wanted. WEll she didnt lol she gave me the wrong cream.The cream she gave me was clindosol and it never really worked as well as benzaclin..also i still thought i was using the benzaclin lol Now im 16 with moderate acne still..and its gotten kinda worse then it has been in the last year. I would only get maybe 1-3 pimples on my face now its just bad So when i was cleaning the other day i found the bottle that the benzaclin came in and i read it and well i was kinda PISSED though kinda relieved xDso imma go get the right cream and see if it works xD

Pros:

see the difference quickly

Cons:

dosen't clear skin completely.Expensive

Used for 4 months. Good results at first but still have small spots on face and back. Quite expensive but seems to be working though you should allow a few months for it to completely clear apparently. Used every single night for 4 months and moisturize in the morning. After using it i still don't have clear skin.

Pros:

Works pretty fast about 2 weeks and stops you getting big painfull spots!

Cons:

Dries out skin in patches which shows up when you apply foundation or bronzer. Need to use a good oil free moisturizer! Also i do still get a few tiny spots.

I would 100% say give it a go for about 6 weeks and see if it works for you. Im so happy I tried it! I hope it keeps working and the acne doesn't come back!

Pros:

I get large cysts and i had one form right as i was prescribed this product. within three days my acne was gone. the big cysts and the little pimples. i was so amazed!

Cons:

it does dry out the skin.. BUT when you get this from a doctor they tell you that your skin will be dry and you are more likely to get sun burned.

it works great just be sure to moisturize and protect with sun screen.
