Too expensive for the results

Pros:

worked pretty well
very easy to use

Cons:

sometimes irritating
way too expensive for amount of results

I have acne and blackheads on face and back. I have no cystic acne. This product worked okay for me, but was not good enough for the expense. I used it for almost a year but am happier using another product that works better for me and is less costly by a lot.

Pros:

Worked AMAZINGLY on body acne, cleared my back up in a few days!
Can also work great on the face IF your skin isnt sensitive and is really oily and can replenish itself from the way Duac dries it out
Quick results
Doesn't smell
Doesnt decrease in effectiveness over time

Cons:

I found it extremely drying after a while, skin (on your face) becomes bright red and very sore and peeling, and you feel as if youve burned your skin with chemicals
Took my skin weeks to recover from it
Bleaches clothes
Definitely wouldn't recommend it for use on the face

its a total life saver for body acne, especially on the back and neck. Its also cheap and doesnt decrease in effectivness over time. But if you have sensitive skin it's way too harsh for use on the face, I still use it on my back but not on my face

Pros:

-Doesn't burn that much
-absorbs into skin well
-does help acne a little

Cons:

-helps acne, but barely. I've been using it for 1 month and a half and i've only seen very minor improvement.

I think it's not worth the time.. It works a little, but so do a LOT of creams. You might as well look for other options because, at least for me, it didn't do much more than a regular benzoyl peroxide treatment. If for some reason it magically starts working for me then I will re-post, but as of now, I've seen little to very little improvement.

Pros:

I was prescribed Duac 4 years ago by my GP. For the first 2 years of using it I had amazing levels of success - my acne completely cleared up.

Cons:

I find that now Duac is less effective than it use to be; as if my skin is becoming immune to it or something! It also can dry my skin out and leave it very flakey.

I found it to be initially an amazing product that really cleared up my skin and stopped breakouts from occurring. However, it can dry skin out heavily and over time, I've found, has become dramatically less effective - leaving me desperate to find a product that will give me the same levels of success I first had with it.

Pros:

my skin is always very clear,

Cons:

dryness, ive used it for four years, and it had made my skin very prone to sunbrun, and bleaches all my clothes! sweat stings my face. i use it twice a day. whenever i forget, i always break out, even if i only forget once.

it works if your acne is severe, but over time wil make your skin dry, and tough, which is okay, if your skin is oily, i suppose. lotion as well as sunscreen recomended.

Pros:

Works pretty well within the first week...iv only been using it for 2 weeks and im already seeing improvments.

Cons:

Just like everyone says...its terrible if you do physical activity cause you sweat and wipe it on your shirt...then theres a huge bleach stain on your shirt after you wash it. it nakes your face so dry that its hard to smile lol kinda funny,

Probably good for people with not alot of acne...but i have those huge bumps and stuff...so im probably gonna need oral meds or something else....it works WAY BETTER THAN PROACTIVE...PROACTIVE IS A SCAM>>>DONT BUY IT!!!!!!!

Pros:

i cant think of any so far

Cons:

it is drying and expensive and has made acne worse

ive been using duac for 6 weeks and expected to see some difference, but its only getting worse. i went to the derm again last week and she called it a fluke that my face looked like this. she says give it more time, but 6 weeks is a long time. i also just switched to yaz birhtcontrol because she said that will help too. but ive taken 4 different antibiotics for acne and i just dont see how a different bc will help. she just needs to put me on accutane already.
