Pros:

Big improvement with acne in just 2 weeks.

Cons:

redness, dryness, peeling however all you need is a good moisturizer and eventually your skin gets used to it

I definitely would recommend trying this. I made the mistake of switching to retin a micro which made my face terrible again so I'm now going back on it. Hopefully it works just as well as last time!!

Pros:

Gets rid of some acne
Clears whiteheads quickly

Cons:

Made my face red and irratated
The paste is white when it dries so can't wear makeup over it
The price
Doesn't work after about 6 months

Works at first, but after awhile it doesn't work. Waste of money if you ask me...

Pros:

Cleared my acne a little

Cons:

Made my skin red and kinda hard.

Burns a little.

Clears acne but then makes it red at the same time.

While I was using it the first week I felt a little burn but that was to be expected but then my face got really red and then hard. So I stopped using it and then after the redness was gone the acne under the redness was gone. So basically this product made me look a little bad for a while but then made me look better then before. Only use it if your willing to feel the burn and look a little red.

Pros:

The product helps stop the oil on the surface of your skin and you will be able to see a significant difference with your active pimples in less than 1-2 days of using it.

Cons:

May dry out your skin if u use more than a dime sized amount.

It may also be expensive if your insurance doesn't cover the cost.

I'm 23 and I've had acne since I was about 15. I've used everything from home remedies to lazer treatments and other topical medications but none worked as good as this. I've only been using it for a few days now and I am already seeing improvement (skin is not oily, no new pimples formed, and reduction of existing pimples). For those who have given up hope, it doesn't hurt to try!

Pros:

Since I have been using it I have not had a single spot!

Not having to spend lots of money on make-up to cover spots :)

Cons:

Does dry out the skin in places but if you moisturise in the day and use the cream at night I've found that this problem is mostly sorted :)

I put a bit of the cream on my back to keep that clear too but it bleached my top-it does warn you of this.

I did only have light acne, however, not being in my teens for a while now, I was fed up of teenage skin and fancied getting rid of pesky spots. Having used lots of products when i was younger and not getting the best results I was a little unsure as to whether this cream would actually help. However, after the first week of using this people were commenting about how good my skin looked (!) and I have not had a single spot since :) ! I, personally, can handle a bit of dry skin as I've always used facewash, moisturiser, etc from the doctor's for my extremely dry and sensitive skin. I'd just recommend getting a good moisturiser. Surely it's better to have a bit of dry skin than a spotty chin?

Pros:

Works! If you are looking for something that will just get the job done, then this is the product for you!

Cons:

Dry skin, but nothing moisturizer can't handle :)
Expensive for me, but it lasts for 3 months at a time, so it equals out to about $20 a month. Which I was paying for products that didn't work before.

This product is incredible. It works overnight and keeps working for good. Not only is the acne gone, but it actually changes your skin completely. You will get a small blemish now and then, but it never EVER comes back the way it used to!! I used to get black heads and pus-y pimples and now I get the occassional small red bump that is barely even noticable. BenzaClin is amazing. I will use it for the rest of my life!

Pros:

-Really Helps Reduce Breakouts
-Skin looks and feels Softer
-Overall cleared up my skin in a month

Cons:

None Really

I had very mild acne in grade school and Freshman Year that was easily treated with Proactiv. When Sophmore Year came around my acne progressed into mild to moderate. I was sick of it and saw my derm and she prescribed me Duac. Some people says Duac works over-night, but it took me about a month to see total results. I expernieced an initial breakout due to the withdrawal to my prior over-the-counter medications and little results for the first few weeks. Then after a month or so my skin has cleared up well with maybe two pimples every other week. Overall, I am extremely pleased with Duac and advise others to be patient with it. Good Luck.

Pros:

Best topical I've ever used for acne. you can tell its working the first time u apply it...I've tried trention, duac gel, and otc stuff like the acnefree system. Benzaclin is AWESOME.

Cons:

Makes face dry & stiff feeling for about a week or so....

great for moderate acne to keep things under control... sure you'll have a one or two pimples here and there. But its alot better than having like 20 at a time!! I finished my course of accutane in April '08 and i started breaking out again but def not as severe. it still sucked tho... but accutane was VERY helpful. And benzaclin def. helps my new breakouts!

Pros:

Cleared up my skin instantly! NO more acne, less oilyness.

Cons:

Excessive dryness

I have had acne for years and this is the only thing that has reduced it and kept my skin clear. I HIGHLY recommend it! I feel so confident and don't have to wear makeup anymore to hide my acne for the first time in my life- you all know what that feels like.
