Pros:

I have tried many solutions from my doctor percripted me to. None worked.

Cons:

It stings?! and is verrry dry.. stiffens up my face.

My "ex"friend left it at my house. She has NO ACNE and I am extremly embarrest of it. I dont even like my boyfriend touching my face or even looking at me for a long time because Im so parinoid of it. By using benzaclin i think that it will help.. cause it helped my friend.. (flawless)

Pros:

Using this and Retin-A Micro has cleared up some of my acne after only a few days.

Cons:

My skin, especially around my mouth is very dry and red, and has been peeling.

I've only been using this for about a week, so I'm not sure yet. Hopefully the peeling improves soon.

Pros:

Insurance made this product pretty affordable

Cons:

My face seemed to look as though it was clearing up within the first week of using Benzaclin, however progressively got worse and worse. The more I used the bigger the zits and the worse my face got.I stopped using it 3days ago, now my face is CLEAR

This product did not work for me. It made my face much worse.

Pros:

doesnt irritate my face

Cons:

VERY expensive!!

I had tried Duac before in the past and it worked wonders. I stopped using it for about a year or so because of the price. My face started getting really bad in the past fews months, so now I am trying the Duac again. I hope it works as well as it did before!!

Pros:

Works

Cons:

Takes timmme

Its good but not as good as quinoderm!...Apply once a day! I was using it but i prefer quinoderm faster results and better cause it comes in a gel dont know if thats why it takes long to be absorbed by skin :S i dont know this stuff but i know quinoderm is better! Wow and look at the price quinoderms like a fiver!

Pros:

Makes my skin less oily
Gets rid of blackheads, spots, whiteheads, etc!
Evens my skintone

Love this! I'm still in full-time Education, so I got this prescribed to me for free by my Doctor! It's so good that I saw a difference within days! Good thing was I didn't get the drying, red, patchy side effect either! (Which is good cause I need to apply it all over my face where the blemishes are!)

Pros:

It really works wonders and clears you up, BUT...

Cons:

Causes severe colitis

I didnt know thw reason of my upset stomach and rectal bleeding, had that for more than a month. I checked the benzaclin warnings and it said it may cause severe colitis due to the clyndamicin. As soon as i stopped with the treatment in about a week i stopped the bleeding and i feel super happy. But guess what, i have more pimples now than ever in my life and im using tazorac and taking minocycline and no improvement. The panoxyl makes my pimples go red and idk what else to do. ;(

Pros:

Very fast acting and fast healing for fresh breakouts. If you suffer from inflamed acne it greatly reduces the redness and swelling.The two ingredients contained in bezaclin, just simply makes sense. BP for killing p acne bacteria and clinda(swelling

Cons:

It will mess with the ph balance of your skin, so be prepared to counter that affect with a good lotion that works for you. Also as stated by other reviews it will bleach any hair or clothes it comes into contact with( But we all know that?)

One last con I had about benzaclin is that it is very expensive..."if" you don't have health insurance or if it isn't covered in your insurance plan.one pricing example would be what my perscription that I use= Size-25g jar. Price with insurance= $10.00/ without insurance=25g=137.99. Last maybe a month to a month 1/2 depending on the affected surface area and how much is required. I use it twice a day and cover my whole face lightly.But even though it is a lil costly it has worked better than anything else I've ever used and I mean everything, from verious tv advertised products to "all" over- the- counter products. Try it out! Goodluck!

Worked quickly; redness and painful cystic acne is gone

Pros:

Was the best thing Ive tried yet.

Cons:

RIGHT after I stopped using it, my acne came BACK and worse. Am now addicted.. TOO expensive for me as well. How did you all get it for UNDER $50?

Good to treat while youre using it, but acne came back my dear friends...
