Pros:

Duac is my savior! I have been using it for almost two years now and all I have is scarring from previous acne. Duac starts working in at the most two weeks and then it keeps your skin clear for the mos part! JUST STICK TO A NORMAL ROUTINE WITH IT!

Cons:

It definaltley doesn't have a pleasant smell...

I am a teenager and I was the first person in my grade to have acne.. It sucked. But I began to use Duac and now Im the one with the clear skin! I think Duac is heaven in a tube. BUY IT!

Pros:

I only had samples of Benzaclin when using it, but during those 2 weeks my skin cleared up faster then when I used anything else. It really did work, really fast. You just have to throw it out when it expires, because it will start to smell 'off'.

I've had moderate acne for my entire life, and I'm only 17. I've tried absolutely every kind of drugstore product, I've made countless homemade masks and cleansers using natural ingredients and I used to use Proactiv. Nothing, and I mean nothing, cleared my skin up as well or as fast as when I tried Benzaclin. I think it's the Clindamycin (spelling) because it's an antibiotic. I don't have any more at the moment but I plan on getting a prescription as soon as I can!

REALLY drys out my skin. Have not found any bleach spots on clothes, but

It seems to work great. I have not found any bleach spots on my clothes from it, but I and you should always wash your hands after applying a RX.

Pros:

Really works! The antibiotic worked really well at smoothing out my skin and reducing inflammation/redness. It doesn't smell gross, like some acne products.

Cons:

Not much to say here. Some dryness, i suppose.

I use it every night and when I wake up, my skin is smooth and evenly toned. No red spots or huge lumps. My acne wasn't that bad, but I saw major improvements in my skin's general health as well as disappearing acne. Now, I don't even wear concealer or foundation on my face because my skin looks so great!

Pros:

IT WORKS! XD
DOESN'T DRY OUT SKIN!
CAN BE WORN UNDER MAKE UP AND MOISTURIZERS!

Cons:

U HAVE TO REFRIGERATE IT!

This is the ONLY thing that has worked for me! I used to have "MODERATE" acne.. now it's just "VERY LIGHT!" :) Totally cleared up my skin in about a month. I started getting getting really bad adult acne at the start of this year (Jan, 2009). I tried everything from Pro-Active, The Regimen they have on this website, Neutrogena products! EVERYTHING! U NAME IT! :( So I finally went to my GP and he prescribed me this. I use it both morning & night and I only put it on the spots or if I can see a pimple developing it gets rid of it straight away! SO HAPPY! I probably have 1 small pimple left on my face!

Cons:

takes some time

i used this last summer and it worked great and fast(about a month or so) used it constantly for four months, got really clear so i stopped. i was good for 6 months and than it started coming back. i freaked and started washing my face like crazy and overloading on products. i got my prescripton renewed on june 20. it now august 17 and im starting to see improvements. dont know why its taking so long. i seem to break out more in the summer. and i have oily skin. im going to my derm tommorw for the first time(duac was prescribed by the dude who did my physical) and i was wondering if theres anything that works well with duac? i trust duac. any suggestions. oh and time is they key. i broke out pretty bad before things calmed down. but if you know any good combos let me know.
