Pros:

Im finding this cream/gel really effective for papules and pustles because it flattens them overnight. Ive only recently started to use this and my skin has started to darken due to the BP but my pimples are vanishing really quickly.

Cons:

Its super expensive!!! Normal Benoykl Peroxide 5% costs about $13 dollars,and this costed me $35 AUS dollars!!! ARGHGHHGH

No side effects, no peeling whatsoever, made my face a little bit oily actually but a toner should un-oil it :) It does the trick for me, and i'll continue to use this. Unlike other lucky people it didnt help my scar (i onnly have one major one and its quite deep!) Its a great product but just a little bit expensive.

Pros:

clears up all the acne within a month, small pimples come back but they leave within 2 days. its the only thing has actually owrked for me

Cons:

the acne will come back after 2 months of going without the product. so continual use is a must.

depending on the person it works, for me it is worth the money, only needs to be applied twice a day and that is about it, wash face before going to sleep before applying benzaclin at night.In the end this product works very well.

Pros:

strong medication that seems to clear pimples up pretty fast. i have been on duac for 1 week now and i am starting to see a difference. put it all over infected areas every night before bed.

Cons:

the first few days of using, my face was red in the morning as if i had a sunburn. (not bad at all, actually didn't look bad). and im still getting little pimples here and there, but not as bad-think it is still too early to tell how well its working

so far i am seeing a difference in my overall complexion. my skin has more of a glow and color to it. however i am still getting little pimples here and there but again, have only been on it for a week. it is definitely strong and works fast on my pimples.. if i feel one coming i will apply extra to that area and it seems to clear it up a lot faster.

Pros:

it worked really fast

Cons:

dried out my face. Also, it seems to stop working. I had acne on my face, chest and back and now after a couple of weeks, it seems to have come back. The small acne went away, but it seems that the large zits keep coming back.

After i use this product, my skin is very itchy and irritated. And if i go in the sun then i get the same itchy, irritated feeling. While it does seem to work, i feel like some of the pimples are coming back. The doctor did say that it will get worse before it gets better, and the product is supposed to bring all the "junk" in your pores to the surface. So we'll see. So far though its worth a try!

Pros:

Reduced redness, swelling and number of spots also helped to smooth out skin texture.

Cons:

Initial dryness that made skin slightly itchy.

I started getting pimples at around the age of 14, was very light so it didn't bother me, but as i got older, it got worse, it went from slight pimples to moderate acne, (just a couple of months after my 16th birthday). Im now 18 and everything i've tried hasn't worked, so my Doctor prescribed me Duac. I've been using it for about three weeks and so far the results just keep getting better! Im very pleased with this product, (can't believe I've finally found something that actually works!), I just hope I keep getting great results and it dosen't stop working.

Pros:

cleared ALL of my acne within a span of 3 days.

Cons:

kinda dries out my skin... but thats to be expected while using these types of products. I'm thankful it comes with the cleansing lotion!

Love it, use it, strongly recommend it!

Pros:

It really works, it gets rid of the zits FAST. About 24 hours after I applied it to my acne, it majorly reduced in size. This stuff actually works! I love it! It is worth the cost!

Cons:

Can be a little dry and/ or flaky, but thats how it works. (I hope people know you are not supposed to rub this all over your face, only apply to acne)

After visiting my doctor, she told me a product that would work best for my skin is BenzaClin. After my mom picked it up at Walgreens, I put it on. When I woke up in the morning my ance was half gone! I was so happy! The little white flakes pretty much went away after I knew how to properly use it. I love this stuff, and it works wonders for my acne. People have said that it makes your eyes swollen, well people, doesn't it say (DO NOT APPLY NEAR EYES) on the directions? And I have also heard that it left white film and flakes all over their face. Well don'tbe stupid, and read the directions. You are not supposed to rub it all over your face, like an acne wash. Only apply to existing acne! And don't use too much either.

Pros:

This stuff really works. My face was so red and filled with zits. When I tried Duac it was amazing. Half my blemishes were gone in just one use.

Cons:

When you first try it be careful for the results because after the use the next day it'll look worse. I stop using it and then after that day my skin was soft and clear.

This is a great product. I highly recommended this.

Pros:

My dermatologists give me a professional sample of Duac Topical gel and its working very good for me! i still have some dark spots but i get rid of the big pimples.

Cons:

The first uses drys your skin.

I hope with this i get rid completely from my acne (I dont want to take roccutane, so afraid) my dermatologists also give to me Differing(for the nights).
