Pros:

works really fast and effectively!

Cons:

the Dryness. very little itching.

use only a very thin layer, a little goes a long way. my doctor reccomended me just once a day so i use it at night after i've washed my face and in the morning i wash my face again and put on oil free moisturizer. simple as that.

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:

worked amazingly for about 6 months

Cons:

stopped working after using for six months and all of my acne came back. i guess your skin eventually gets immune to it

if you have acne this should be the first treatment you use from the dermatologist if your acne comes back it will not be as severe as it once was. to fully get rid of your acne for good i would not recommend this product

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:

Face has cleared up in about three weeks.

Cons:

I have more dark spots on face since using this product.

Does make face a lot tighter considering I had extremely oily skin. It is pretty pricy, but if it helps with the breakouts, it will be well worth the money.

Pros:

I've only been using this for a week and have noticed a difference already.

Cons:

The price! I had to pay $25 for 45 grams and I still have 5 more refills to get.

I'm a little confused because it says on the box (and also the pharmacist told me) to put it on BEFORE bedtime (at night!). Some people have complained about not being able to go out in the sun - there is NO sun at night! It also says on the box that you can apply your makeup on top of the duac, but who wears make up to sleep?

Pros:

Works well. I tried everything. This zaps the zits quickly and even gets the blackheads that were a problem for me too

Cons:

Dries your skin out! I use a mousturizer to combat it. I do feel wrinkled and dry somethimes though so use the mousturizer!

Good product. Wish it wasnt so pricey! I paid $140 USD when I didnt have insurance, and $60 USD with insurance for a 3 month supply. BUMMER!
