Pros:

Cons:

no side effects for me.

I reached a stage where i got pimples poping out everywhere, especially my forehead ! i could not take it anymore. i went to the doctors and they recommended duac. I bought it, and recieved results the next day !! though, for full clear results, you need to be patient and wait a few weeks. your propbabley thinking i cant do afew weeks, but trust me u can. its worth it !! my pimples arre STARTING to pop out again, and im about to go buy the product tomorrow !

Pros:

Works great. After a few weeks most of my acne was gone.

Cons:

The smell is horrible. Even after you stop using it you can smell it on your face when you sweat, or after a day of your face getting oily that part is nasty but just wash your face and the smell goes away until next time you sweat.

Use it, what have you got to lose.

Pros:

Works really well and clears up acne by a lot. Also gets rid of some of the acne scars

Cons:

Really dry skin, but you can get rid of that with a good moisteriser and scrub.

I tryed a lot of different products for my skin but got no good results, and with this my face has been clearing up a lot and my friends that have used this don't get breakouts or pimples anymore. Really good.

It works really well for me. My friend uses it and she has built a resistance to it. I like it though.

Pros:

It took away alll the black heads on my nose and white heads it cleared up small pimples

Cons:

dryness peeling doesnt help the CYSTS!

its good on smaller pimples and people with light acne but it gives you dry asssss skin. (Which i already had sooo it made matters worse for me) But my acne should go away when i am 25 (HOPEFULLY)

Pros:

Clears up skin fast! Little drying and once a day application doesn't interfere with my schedule

Cons:

A little expensive

I never had to struggle with acne aside from the occasional pimple. So it was extremely upsetting when I suddenly broke out all over my forehead and on random spots on my face like my cheek or chin. I didn't know how to react and at 19 I thought acne was something I just wasn't going to deal with. I immediately saw a dermatologist and she gave me some samples of Duac. It's been working great- my skin looks like how it used to! She said it would take about a month but I've been on it for two weeks and it looks so clear, all of my friends are happy to see my skin back. I highly recommend it!!

Pros:

I have used Benzclin for 3 months and I have seen positive results. I am 30 never had acne before, and for some reason I am dealing with acne now! Definetly works when you use it regularly, for moderate acne.

Cons:

Causes dry, flaky skin in the beginning. Stinging of skin has occured. It took a month for my skin to get used to it, then drying/stinging effects went away.

The bottom line is...Benzaclin definetly works when used regularly! It does dry out the skin for awhile, but my side effects went away and I have seen positive results! For me, it took 3 weeks to see some results. The combination of Clindamycin and Bezoyl Peroxide seems to work better than using the two seperately. A moisutrizer is needed when using this topical medication. Other than that, I am completely satisified with this acne medication!
