Pros:

dries up acne

Cons:

initial breakout
drys skin

I have been on benzaclin for 10 days now. Initially I had a pretty aweful breakout from the medicine. Now my skin has been good and i am just healing from the initial breakout. I have a lot of faith that this will clear up my skin. I have not gotten any new acne for the past couple days now and believe this will continue

Pros:

Clears up face in fast time
Smoother face

Cons:

Dries Up skin

Ive only been using this Product for about a week and I can Already tell my skin will be clear soon. My brother used this and his skin was so clear. My doctor gave me a prescription for it and I picked some up. I wash my face day and night with cetaphil daily facial clenser and put a tiny bit of this on after. It's helped a ton, and I'm hoping it will keep working.

Pros:

Cleared the spots and small bumps i had on my back

Cons:

Bleaches fabrics
Too strong for my face- terrible flaking, redness and burning.

This really helped the spots i started to get on my back after starting Yasmin. I also had skin like sandpaper which improved massively with Duac. I did find it way too harsh though on my face, which seems to be more sensitive. My skin became so flaky, red and sore and i had to stop after about 4 weeks as it looked so bad

Pros:

Clears most Acne
Reduce Size of Pimples
Stopped Breakouts

Cons:

Drying
Dries White

I've been using this only for a week and a half now, and wow my face is clearing up. I can't say I'm acne free yet but I'm positive that I will be. My dermatologist prescribed me this with Doxycline 100mg and a cleanser Cetaphil. I think this is a great combination. I'm supposed to take this for a month and I'm only at 1 week. So hopefully by 1 month I can say I'm acne free. I wish I can put photos up for you guys to see my big improvement!

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!
Clears up skin!
Fits in with skincare regime
Easy to use

Cons:

Slight dryness for the first week
None

I was on adapalene and clindamycin phosphate gel for 6 months and saw no results, my face was always red and covered with acne. I couldn't shave and if i did it would yield terrible results. I switched to this stuff and the first few days my acne started to clear up! I use a light salicylic acid cleanser in the morning and night, a light salicylic acid moisturizer in the morning, and benzaclin at night. After about one month of this routine my acne and red spots started to clear up! My stubborn acne that I have been struggling with for years is gone. I have tried almost all prescriptions and over the counter stuff, the only stuff that seems to work is BP and Clindamycin combo therapy If you have been struggling with acne, this is the final topical product one needs. It works well for ALL acne types!

Pros:

Prevents acne
Makes skin less oily
Heals pimples quickly
Works quickly

Cons:

Makes skin sensitive for first week
Makes skin dry
Burns at first

I used this when I was 16 or so with differin gel and had the clearest skin of my life. Consistent use is essential and the combination of benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin in duac works wonders. The key is consistency. You have to be rigorous with its use. It does dry the skin out and make it very sensitive and gives it a burning feeling for the first couple of weeks but you can feel that it's working. I noticed an improvement in a few days and had NO initial breakout.
