Pros:

Cleared up my skin a lot. I had moderate acne and now I have clear skin and I use benza clin whenever I have a problem zit.

Cons:

It reacted badly when i accidentally put on moisturiser on the same spot i previously had benza clin on, the next day I had a rash on my face, but it cleared up by the end of the day.

It worked great for me, I would reccomend it :D

Pros:

Skin cleared up really quick!
Gets rid of pimples very quick.
Got rid of most of my blackheads.

Cons:

Dries face out!!!!
Burns a little.

This stuff really works!!! The only mistake I made was I put it on my whole face, even the areas where my face was acne free. Now, my skin is really dry, and flaky. So just put it on your problem areas.

Pros:

easy to apply, unfragranced, can work! try it - seriously.

Cons:

bleaches stuff - ruined a couple of t shirts! and countless pillow cases, use white ones! can burn ur skin a bit.

I used to use benzamycin until the fools stopped supplying it in the UK. i had moderate back acne and mild face acne. that stuff removed it all within 2 weeks, a miracle. since it was withdrawn in 2007 iv had to use DUAC. for a while it gave the same results, well right up until now tbh. over the last few months its grown less effective. the benzamycin completely got rid of my back acne but iv been keeping mild face acne at bay for over a year with this, tho its started to creep in on my forehead, chin and cheeks over the last 4 months, which is very frustrating. trying to import some benzamycin as i type!

Pros:

It dries up oozing, weeping and oily skin and the infection under the surface. I have spent a lot of money with bad results on proactive, proactive sensitive, Murad and many other over the counter treatments that have made my skin much worse.

Cons:

Creates scabs that look horrible so you will be tempted to pick at them but don't because that creates a scar or a pink sore against dark skin which then turns to another dark scab.

I look good as f**k. I have several businesses so I have been doing very well. My confidence level is almost back where it was when my skin was perfect. It seems to be taking a while but for the most part, my skin is improved by 120 percent. There was a lot of discoloration on my cocoa bronze skin which looked horrible along with the bumps. Since I deal with the public and a lot of different people during the day who find me good looking, I felt like my skin was the main topic of conversation. Now people look at the business at hand instead of trying to think of what would work on my skin. Or asking me questions like what's the price instead of what happened to your skin.

Pros:

I started using Duac gel 3 months ago. My skin looks so much better. I am using it in combination with Metrogel for my rosacea and Nicomide. This combination has really kept my face clear. Ask Dermatologist to give you a rebate form.

Cons:

No problems at this time

I saw results with this combination in 1 month. Make sure you get a rebate form. I get $15 back every month.

Benzaclin has worked wonders on my face. In combination with Cetaphil Daily Face Cleanser in the AM and PM along with Benzaclin in the AM and Ziana in the PM, my skin is now flawless. I have suffered with Acne for years. I was ready to throw in the towel when my dermatologist prescribed this regimen for me. The healing process took about six months in all but it was worth the wait. I had really bad cystic acne and picked at the acne alot leaving horrible black scars. After using the Benzaclin face doesnt break out anymore. There is hope out there.

Pros:

I have occasional pimples, but my face is so clear. i used every medication there is (proactive,differin,retin-a)This actually works. Within a few weeks i got people asking me how i improved my acne so fast! It really helps control acne

Cons:

I already have sensitive, dry skin,i've had exzema since i was 5, So it worsens my dryness. I don't know if i didnt already have dry skin, if it would make my skin drier. I just use cetaphil cream moisturizer(best lotion i have ever used)which helps.

Clears acne extremely fast. You need to try it . You wil not regret it. Benzaclin is like a miracle to my skin. Trust me i've tried everything, i was so self conscious because no one my age really has acne to the point i had it yet, so when i began using this product i was not self conscious anymore. Use it or its your loss!

Pros:

works quickly and effectively, saw improvement the first day of use.

Cons:

a little drying but trust me its much better then having acne problems, an be pricey but well worth it

So i have tried EVERYTHING and when I mean everything I mean I have tried everything in the skin care isle at the store including the kits and pro active, nothing worked and so i went to my doctor and he prescribed this for me, I was hoping it would work and it did!! I am in my second week of using it and my moderate acne is almost gone, no more break outs have occurred and all are left are a few red marks. It can be drying at times by I use the aveeno ultra calming lotion in the morning and it works great. When you use this stuff use it at night so its on your skin for a long time. Don't put anything else on it just use the benzaclin! then in the morning wash it off and put on the Aveeno moisterizer and your make up (if you wear any) and you will be set for the day. The lotion doesnt cause break outs and it helps with the redness too. Good luck to everyone who tried this!!! :-)
