Pros:

Clears up pimples and cystic acne

Cons:

Bleaches like any benzoyl peroxide, might aggravate scars, can be drying

Duac has worked wonderfully for me. I use it at night (bleaching a few pillowcases) and yes it can dry out the skin but nothing too serious. Duac cleared up some of my cystic acne around the mouth and jawline, it also works well at drying up whiteheads. I would recommend it to anyone, but only with medical insurance as it can be quite pricey without. Good luck.

Pros:

Clears up the acne, controls oil

Cons:

it does dry out your skin, will bleach anything it comes in contact with, it is pricey

I've been using Benzaclin for 5 years. I tried all kinds of over the counter cleaners, creams, and toners and this was the only thing that consistently worked. I love it, it is quite expensive if you don't have insurance, but on the other hand it is worth it.

Pros:

This product worked very well for me. I have tried everything from OTC's to ProActive. NOTHING worked to this magnitude, except Clindoxyl. But this one is covered by my insurance.

Cons:

It made my skin sensitive to light [photosensitivity]. I do go tanning in the winter months. But as my pharmacist recommended just to wear sunscreen; my face was fine.

This product really works. It is better to get a prescribed medication rather than using an OTC [over the counter] because the levels of benzyl peroxide will not be enough to treat moderate to severe acne. The only thing is that it can be expensive without insurance. I never thought that I would have clear skin, but it is possible. This product delivers everything that ProActive promises! Try It.

Pros:

It is the only thing that keeps my skin almost completely clear. I also take doxycycline twice a day. I had stopped using duac before and used other products instead with the doxycycline( clearasil, fugera, differin, proactive..they don't work.

Cons:

VERY EXPENSIVE!!!!! $140 dollars/month. and the tube is not very big.

It works! In my opinion the price is definately worth it. I am now twenty one and had suffered from mild to severe acne for 7 years. The expensive price is worth how great you'll feel about yourself. Hang in there, it's tough, acne is a devestating thing to suffer from. It affects all aspects of your life. But Duac worked for me :)

Pros:

Works great, heals almost all acne overnight!

I'd go weeks without acne then suddenly get lots of acne in various parts of my face, especially the cheeks and forehead. It was horrible but once I got Duac, I'd just apply it liberally before going to bed and wake up with much of it gone. The bigger spots would take more than just a day but nothing lasted more than a few days with Duac applied just once a night. It did dry out the skin a little but nothing severe, just shower and use moisturizer during the day and you cant even tell.

Pros:

For the first month of its use it felt as if its doing wonders. But like most of other treatments it ended up in tears.

Cons:

It has this bleach effect which would turn your pillow covers & towels yellow.

It seems to be a good topical treatment for someone having mild to moderate acne. But for someone like me who has got this problem for years, it turned out to be a flop after a month.

Pros:

works fairly fast. noticed difference within first 3 days. and if ya got good insurance pretty affordable. (pretty good on babysitter's pay)

Cons:

dry skin. but doc gave a moisturizer so its ok really.

ive tried so many things. creams, washes, medicated pads, scrubs, masks, even a few other prescribed products(differen and clindagel), and organic pills. its been a real hassle. and after only two weeks of benzaclin ive been gettin compliments the doc also gave me some pills to help reduce inflammation which helped even more. it really does work for me, and i couldnt be happier, i just hope it keeps workin :)

Pros:

Works FAST.

Cons:

dries out skin terribly. Expensive

Ive had acne since the end of my Junior year and high school, and I am currently in my first year in college. I started using proactiv, which kind of works..but not for anything more than light acne..My acne got REALLY bad over the summer this year, there was no clear area on my face. I went to the doctor who prescribed me Retin-A. I used it for 2 months, and my face got a lot worse. I decided to go see another doctor, who prescribed me Benzaclin and Doxycycline, and I have been on it for 2 days, and it has significantly, SIGNIFICANTLY reduced my acne. Its a miracle product i hope it continues to work like this. I highly reccommend it.

Pros:

Well i just began using it and it seems to decrease the size of acne and eventually disappear. I still do not know how long it takes tough to get rid of a cyst. How long will it take for my skin to get clearer than my butt cheeks?

Cons:

DRYNESS

GET IT, MIGHT AS WELL TRY SOMETHING

Pros:

This product immeadiatly reduces redness of pimples and zits. I notice a huge difference overnight.

Cons:

If you pop the zit then put the cream on it, it leaves you a huge red scar that lasts for days.

I recommend you use benzaclin as long as you can give it time to work so you dont end up popping your pimples everyday and go to school looking like rudolph.
