Pros:

Clears Up Skin FAST!!!
Kinda Help with my Acne Scars to Dissapear

Cons:

Dries Up my Skin a little

I've been battling with my acne for almost 5 years now using facial wash only with no result because I thought it's going to dissapear in few years but it kept on getting worse so I go to a GP for my acne for the first time and he gave this product to me and it worked in just 1 week. Now, my skin is considerably better but I hope that I won't get immune to this product because I LOVE IT SO MUCH.....

Pros:

Works fast, consistently clears skin (effect doesn't fade the longer you use it), quick and easy to apply. Fragrance free, and comes with a great facewash, SFC (soap free cleanser). Great for sensitive skin.

Cons:

Can bleach clothing, semi-expensive ($25/tube, but lasts a few months)

STRONGLY RECOMMEND IT! I have been using it for years, I still get some minor spots, but Duac has helped my skin more than any other acne product I've tried! I really do love it. If you have problems with looking oily after using it, try getting some of those Clean & Clear oil absorbing sheets (they have generic brands too at CVS that are a dollar cheaper). They are awesome!

Pros:

Absolutely love this stuff. I have had acne problems since being a teen and have tried many things, i.e., Retin-A micro, oral antibiotics, Proactive and none have worked. In fact the Retin-A micro made by skin horribly worse. This is the best.

Cons:

I have not found any cons. I started once a day to make sure it didn't dry out my skin but eventually my doctor told me to apply twice. I have noticed no dryness.

I would highly recommend this product. Absolutely the best acne product I have ever tried. My doc uses it twice a day and her skin is beautiful.

Pros:

Works well. Easy to use. Can be used for spot treatments if needed. Works quickly.

Cons:

Dries your skin. If you have dry skin to begin with, then you will probably need a mosturizer along with it.

I've had acne since i can remember, and nothing has completely cleared it ( waiting to see if this does) My Dermatologist has me on Benza-Clin during the day, Triaz Foaming Cloths for my back and chest when i shower, and Ziana at night. This may seem like alot but the mess of it all is really down deep. Benza-Clin is an important acne fighter in my remedy. TRY IT. What can you lose?

Pros:

It both gets rid of and prevents acne

Cons:

it dries out your skin

within 2-3 days, i noticed all the tiny acne went away. within about 8-10 days, i noticed all the larger acne went away. i used this in combination with a facial wash. Since the initial disappearance of my acne, i have never had a single bump. it does dry out your skin, but my skin is naturally very oily, so the combination of the drying and my oily skin makes my skin normal

Pros:

I had bad acne that even expensive oral medication wouldn't help. I started to see results in a day after using benzacline.

Cons:

Some side effects

I've been using benzacline for half a year and I have gotten maybe one acne since which disappeared almost completely after two days. I haven't seen my skin this clear in years. When I started, I had stomachaches and very bad dry skin as side effects but it disappeared after I started to follow the instructions from my doctor - apply 30 minutes after washing and moisturizing.

Pros:

reduced redness and scabs
reduced my acne in a day

Cons:

makes your skin dry, but thats until you wipe the dried gel off..

Ive got moderately severe acne, i breakout alot, i have alot of "ingrown" white and blackheads, and i get alot of cystic acne. i got perscribed this topical gel for free... i used it for a day and my acne pretty much vanished. Im on my second day and the redness is completely gone. im not sure if it works on the whiteheads.. im still waiting for them to go away.

Pros:

Works really well, clears things up in just a few days. Works so much better than anything I have ever tried before.

Cons:

Very drying, but its a small price to pay for clear skin.

Works like a wonder cream, keep it in the fridge and its really cooling, i only use it at night. I have Lupus so it doesn't react with any of my medication or worsen the butterfly rashes i get on my face. Fantastic

Pros:

It clears up skin really fast. Dosn't have that one ingredient that most acne medicine have. It works. not oily. light

Cons:

dries out skin

Kaylee has a problem with most acne medicines that have a certian ingredient in them which causes her brain to swell. Her acne is very severe. When I(veronica) asked my doctor about a acne cream he got me this. It works well. I like how it is cold when you put it on your face. And you dont need water to use the clenser which is a plus:D Kaylee's acne cleared up, and we dont gotta worry about her brain swelling. I love this product. I put it on everynight and im good :] -Veronica&Kaylee-
