Pros:

Get this!!! It took about 2 weeks, but my skin has finally cleared!!

Cons:

Dryness and occasional redness. You'll have to kind of police it, because it will REALLY dry out your skin, so if it gets too bad, lay off for a day and use lotion instead. Small price to pay for the end result. :)

I've been pretty fortunate... I had a short period during my teenage years where my acne was really bad, but for the most part I've had really nice/clear skin. Then it seems like the second I hit 30 my skin went CRAZY. I have no idea where it came from and I was HORRIFIED (no one warned me about this!!!). I tried everything (from the cheaper stuff you can get at Target to the department store brands) and nothing else worked. THIS WORKS! I hate writing reviews but I feel like I had to do this to help others... blemishes are the worst. :( Good luck, everyone!

Pros:

It works and i have had acne for 13 years and its the first thing that is drying out my spots and getting rid of them. I only ever got spots at night but this prevents me from getting spots so I now wake up and no new spots have appeared :) :)

Cons:

I couldnt care less about a bit of dry sign, thats what moisturiser is for.

I LOVE IT!!

Pros:

works quickly and clears skin with out the worry of acne returning (unless you stop using it)

Cons:

dries out skin, but that doesn't last for a long time, dries out lips, but chap stick helps that, or i use a product called carmex on my lips that really helps.

works great and results are worth the price, trust me, i have tried many different home remedy's, toothpaste, tea-tree oil, and different brands of different products, none have given me such a fantastic result, i have recommended it to all my friends with acne, so if you have struggled with acne for years like i did, go to your doctor and ask him for this product, because it works

Pros:

Works excellent, I'm satisfied with how my face looks, sure, not every single pimple/zit is gone, but it's not terrible. Sometimes it even seems to do a little work overnight =) Also it comes in a cool pump, well, at least mine does.

Cons:

Depending on the time of the year, I guess during winter my face will get a little dry from it, but I think my face has gotten use to it.

Works fantastic, I highly recommend BenzaClin. Get it!!!

Pros:

Clears skin, 10 bucks with insurance.

Cons:

Drying

This used to be my miracle cure back in high school. I used to swear by it, but since i got on birth control it doesn't do anything for my hormonal acne. It won't completely CURE acne but it definitely got rid of my teen acne within a week with no scarring too! STAY AWAY FROM TOO MUCH SUN EXPOSURE though because you WILL peeeel, and get flaky. my skin type is oily by the way & i used a 10% benzoyl peroxide wash with this at the time.

Pros:

Dries up oily skin fast, allowing the anti-biotic to instantly start making pimples go away, and stop more from forming,

Cons:

Dry skin, but thats with any acne treatment product

Very good. Even though i have been using this for 2 days, i can still already feel results. if you have insurance, then i definitely reccomend this to anyone with acne breakouts

Pros:

It makes pimples disappear over night. It doesn't leave your skin feeling oily. I love it!!!!!!!!!!

Cons:

Bleaches Everything.

I have been using duac for about 2 weeks now and at the first sign of a pimple i put duac on the spot and the next mornig I wouldn't find an aweful pimple there. It always makes my skin feel fresh and smooth everyday. Don't know how i've made it without it all these years.

Pros:

Immediately shrunk existing pimples and I haven't had any new ones.

Cons:

Benzaclin is drying and it does sting. I use Cetaphil Cream when I use it and it still is uncomfortable for a few hours.

Definitely worth the money. I use this with Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash (which I'll admit doesn't help the dryness). After a week of use my skin is almost 100% smooth and clear. I have one stubborn pimple on my forehead but it is slowly going away. I LOVE this stuff!

Pros:

Works amazingly for my skin.

Cons:

When I first began using it, it would make my face feel tight and uncomfortable for a bit.

I have been using Duac for almost 2 years now. When I first started using it, it did feel dry and tight when i put it on at first, but after my skin got used to it, it improved greatly. I didn't have severe acne, but enough to bother me. It does have 2 antibiotics in it, so my dermatologist said it's a great med for someone who can handle it's strength. I just got it filled again, and it came with this SFC lotion stuff, and i tried that tonight and it make my face feel very clean! Has anyone else gotten that with theirs?
