Duac is effective
I like this topical a lot it does it's job. You have to use it everyday. I put a moisturizer on top also. I use this in combination with Tazorac (used to use it with Differin but it seemed to stop working for me) and it is working well keeping things under control. I've been on Accutane twice but came back so I am sticking with topicals and a healthy diet.

Masterpiece

Pros:

Works great!
Easy to apply
Dries qucikly into the skin

Cons:

Expensive

I had pretty huge pustules/cysts before I started using this combined with Oral Antibiotic and first it acutally made it worse and more oily but after a couple of weeks the bumps and pustules/cysts started to shrink and overall it made a really good job pre-accutane. I strongly recommend this stuff. As for now I use this as a spot treatment and it works great! I wash my face pat it dry and after 5minutes I dab Duac into my face and it dries quickly.

Holy Grail

Pros:

Easy to use, two medications in 1
FAST RESULTS
My face looks great

My brother who has worse acne than me was prescribed this and his acne has cleared up significantly after only using it for a few days. So I tried it out. The medication is a combo of an antibiotic to kill off the bacteria inside pimples (the white stuff) and also another medication that is capable of penetrating pimples due to it's unique chemical compound. This is the key to why benzaclin is so effective compared to other drugs. Since it's two drugs in one, it makes it easier to use and much more likely to be effective as well. Just after day 1 my hyperpigmentation marks were less red and overall appearance was slightly better. But that's just me. Day two, still improving. Been only a few days I honestly feel everything flushing out and I've been having little to no dryness. My oil slick of a face is a normal face. It's absolutely amazing how simple the pharmacology is behind it but how it hasn't been thought of sooner.

Pros:

It really does work!!! I went from irritated, oily, acne covered skin to clear, soft, smooth skin! It works overnight and it works fast. Within a month, my acne had improved drastically. Benzaclin worked better than ProActiv or any other acne system.

Cons:

It made my face dry when I applied it, but that's what a moisturizer is for!

If you ahve acne that just won't go away, get BenzaClin. I works fast and affectively, and it saves you time and money. For 3 years I battled with acne and from ProActiv and Neutrogena to Clean and Clear and Clinique, nothing worked but this.

Pros:

I've been using duac for a week now and all of my face acne are gone. Not drying, maybe because I have oily skin. This is the best acne product I have ever used.

Cons:

It's kinda expensive.

I greatly recomment using this product since I haven't encountered any side effects yet. It works for me very well but what works for me may not work for others. Just give it a try.

Pros:

It really works and clears up acne faster than other products!

Cons:

It's expensive unless your insurance covers it. May dry skin for some sensitive individuals.

I am 37 years old. All my life I was fortunate to have nice skin. But then I began getting acne in my early thirties due to hormonal changes. I had alot of small pimples and blackhead, especially on my forehead and sides of my face. I tried every product under the sun including Proactive. Nothing worked and I was becoming very depressed and self-conscience over the condition of my skin, About a year ago a friend of mine told me about Benazclin. I tried it, and in a week my skin had significantly improved! I no longer break out like before and only need Benzaclin for occasional blemishes. My kids 14yrs and 16yrs, began using it when they started getting the normal puberty acne and they loved the results as well. I recommend this product to anyone. It really works!

Pros:

clears up quickly. doesn't leave a gross smell. goes on smoothly. my insurance covers it so it is very cheap for me.

Cons:

make sure to wear sunscreen because your face burns easier. none other really. maybe a little dryness but read the bottom line for my explanation.

i have ALWAYS struggled with acne since i hit puberty. i tried EVERYTHING at the drug stores and proactiv didnt work and neither did anything else. i've been going to a dermatologist because nothing worked!!! i was aggravated beyond belief! i'm a 19 year old girl and i'm feeling more confident with my face now. what i use now: *clean with a neutrogena wave- the shine free, regular, and exfoliating pads (i alternate the pads so it doesn't kill my face) *duac gel *retin-a micro 0.1% *solodyn antibiotic pill even though it seems like a lot, my face got pretty bad.. actually, it was pretty dang bad, when i didn't take care of it. it's sooo much better now! the duac is a HUUUUGE part of it because when i don't have it, my face doesn't look as good :) RECOMMENDED!!!!

Pros:

Worked after 1 night! My face is no longer red...helped with Rosacea too!

Cons:

Kind of expensive.

I haven't had any dryness but I am also using a great moisturizer. I love this product. After trying everything in the drug store for acne I finally went to my Dr. for help...I put it on right before I went to bed and I woke up with clearer skin.

Pros:

Leaves my skin soft and smooth. Doesn't dry my face out at all. I have ALMOST no pimples.

Cons:

Well, I heard it bleaches clothing but I have yet to see this.

Great Product. Very Affordable. I Highly recommend it. Works better than Proactive.
