Pros:

clears up skin quick

Cons:

a lil drying

after i noticed a friend of mine's moderate acne had suddenly cleared up within less than a week, i asked her what she'd been using. she recommended this prescription to me and i decided to get it. my mom paid for it so it was free for me :D anyway, ive been using it for a week now and i began seeing significant results after just 2 days. my blackheads which have been just about impossible to clear for 3 years now have completely disappeared and as for the rest of my pimplez many have disappeared and those left over have definitely decreased in size. all redness has disappeared as well. (ive been using it on my face) just make sure you dont get any close to your eyes because i found out that is a very sensitive area and easily irritated.

Pros:

It really works, I've tried so many different products that have never worked. As soon as I applied the product you could feel a difference. It only took me a week to notice a huge difference.

Cons:

Dries out your face....but not for long. Its worth it!

I didn't have to pay anything w/my insurance plan, so its free for me:-)

Pros:

Works QUICK!!! Stops pimple growth and gets rid of oily skin.

Cons:

For the first hour or to after using it, i mean every time, it feels like ur skin is stuck. Its like ur face hardens.

Works better than any other on the market. Great when used with Minocycline.

Pros:

I've been using it for 2 days, but I've seen good results already. Most of my redness is gone, and is left slighty pink. My skin has been very oily lately because of the humidity, but I think Duac has been controlling the oil.

Cons:

I'd rather use a pump, but the tube isn't a trouble to dispense.

Very good product, it'll cost alot if you don't have insurance to cover the costs.

Pros:

I have always struggled with acne. I have been on oral atibiotics for many years and the acne never cleared. I started using Duac and I love it. It's cleared my skin up beautifully. I have been using it for 5 months. I use it twice a day, a.m. &p.m

Cons:

None

I am so happy with Duac and will recommend it 100% to anyone who wants to get rid of the acne.

Pros:

if you skip a night or two, your skin will still be clear; side effects are mild; very easy to use;

Cons:

takes a LONG time to be effective; dries out your skin; sun exposure makes face red

this product is excellent. you avoid all of the extreme side effects like people have seen with accutane, but you still treat the acne. i would definitely recommend this as an acne solution. i have tried several different treatment plans, including pro-activ, retina-micro, and every stor-bought product on the shelf, and none are as effective as Benzaclin. :)

Pros:

Works fast, greatly reduces inflammation and redness, removes blackheads and whiteheads because of its other major ingredient.

Cons:

Drys out skin pretty bad at first, may make your skin red and irritated, doesn't mix well with moisturizers, cant use it too often.

Great treatment for acne. Removes basically every type of acne blemish FAST (Blackheads, whiteheads, regular pimples, the pimples that dont have a head yet, etc....) Reduces the haunting redness faster than any other type of over the counter benzoyl peroxide, but use apringly and as directed by your doctor because it can cause really bad redness, flaky, irritated, painful skin if you apply too much, and sometimes it burns when you first use it. Experiment with the amount you use, when you use it, etc. to see how well it works for you. Remember, different people have different results.

Works for the "right" type of acne

I don't think Duac works for everyone, but it worked for me a couple of times that my skin was at its worst. Once when I was a teen, and once when I was in my early/mid 20's. Did it cause dryness, burning, and redness? Yeah, it did. But it also worked really well and my skin got used to it. I also figured out the best way to apply it (use a good moisturizer!) to reduce the irritation. It's also one of the quickest acne-fighting products I've ever used.

Amazing

I rarely review products but I feel this is a must. I know exactly how your feeling and I just feel compelled to share. This is a long post but worth the read. 

Quick background story. I've always had clear skin all my life until 2 months ago I broke out into the strangest rash which I self diagnosed as folliculitis linked to fungal infections. I did not suspect acne as I've never had a single spot till the age of 29.

 

I've went through a very stressful house move so I thought maybe it could be the the stress triggering a fungal infection all over my forhead which turned into pustules. Just  overall disgusting!

It's also worth mentioning that I did use 1 or 2 new products on my face. Grapeseed oil and another cream which I don't regularly use. I would sometimes use Johnson and Johnson baby lotion on my face too? Perhaps these triggered the acne and maybe it was acne cosmetica....well I don't know! Just a thought!

So me being me refused to go GP and decided to treat myself using herbal medicine. Such as apple cider vinegar, turmeric capsules, garlic cloves, went on the candida free diet! Literally never ate junk for weeks ! Tried nizoral shampoo! Tried a mild face peel, steroid cream! Let's just say I tried everything in the books!

Nizoral dried out my forhead and I seemed to be getting better. However 2 weeks later I saw the issue was spreading to my jawline! Mind you at this point the rash was dried out on my forhead however it left me with numourous scaring which took away my self confidence. I refused to go out and it's just put me into the deepest depression of my life!

Week 3 I gave up and decided I'm off to the GP. I felt my trip their would be useless as I've read many stories of patients complaining that they were misdiagnosed by doctors and gave prescriptions which made them worse. 

Anyhow fast forward to the doctors visit. I explained everything to him and how I tried every DIY in the book but failed. I could see he found me amusing as to why I would wait so long. He prescribed me with this duac cream.  I went to collect strait away and started use.

Now this is day one of use and I can tell you my face has 60% cleared. When I used nizoral it just dried out the problem but the issue was still there. You can see this actually illiminates the problem. 

It is important to also mention that it was okay on my of my face but on my jawline it did give a burning sensation . Which I just ignored because I've read about the side effects. This morning I can see a small patch looks a bit darker then my skin tone. I have  light skinned mixed race skin tone so it's gone like 2 shades darker on a small patch of my jaw.

 

Other than that I can't fault this cream. I say give  a shot guys.  It may end up changing your life around and my prayers are with you all! I don't wish facial skin conditions on anyone. Faced this problem for less than 3 months and I felt destroyed. I don't know how others would feel with long term acne issues. Really hope it resolves for you all! I will keep you all updated soon
