Pros:

Cleared up most of the spots, effects can be seen relatively quickly (after about 3 weeks)

Cons:

dries out skin a little but moisturiser helps, still have a few spots

My acne was very stubborn before my doctor put me on duac but it began improving slowly when I started using it. I still have a few spots but there are definitely fewer of them and can be covered up with concealer whenever I go out. I find that it makes the skin around the spots peel a little at first but nothing serious. I apply moisturiser to them after I've washed off the duac and it works fine and doesn't plug the pores. Definitely give this one a go.

Pros:

Works amazingly...I had a patch of acne i just couldn't get rid of. I got fed up and decided to get perscription. I was expected something like Differin, but Im glad i got Benzaclin. =D

Cons:

Bleaches. Be careful.
SO. EXPENSIVE....i don't know maybe its my insurance..i had to pay 150$!!! IM ONLY 15 YEARS OLD! I DONT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY EVERY 3 MONTHS.

Works amazing. Totally worth it...TRY

Pros:

works very well

Cons:

give it some time, you will see amazing results
a bit drying (see below)

trust me it works use only a small amount, and slowly increase - that way you can make sure there isn't much peeling, redness, etc.

Pros:

Is inexpensive considering how much you have to use and the results that can be obtained. My skin was able to adapt to the dryness side effect although the first month or so was somewhat dry and flaky. It made my skin appear less red so not a biggy.

Cons:

Works great for minor zits but it takes some time for the Benzaclin to get rid of the deep cysts. The good thing is that this medication keeps the cysts from growing large or breaking out but is slow to totally rid of the cysts.

Product works great for me! I had severe acne and I was able to see great results in the first week. For a time I had to get off Benzaclin because of insurance issues. During that period my acne grew pretty bad ranging from minor zits to the deep cysts and within just a few days all the minor zits had literally disappeared. My only regret is having the redness and scaring from severe acne but that is a different issue.

Pros:

I've been using it for a year now. Helped lessen my acne problem very fast, although till now it hasn't fully cleared it. I only use it at night.All my large breakouts look ALOT smaller and better over night.

Cons:

Looks bad after drying, kinda flaky. That's why i only use it at night.

I'd use it people, i tried Proactiv and all those products but none is as fast and effective as Benzaclin. But i find that as i use it, i have to use more and more for it to work.

Pros:

It works fairly well to prevent and clear up acne. I noticed that with my hormone changes, it didn't stop those certain breakouts.

Cons:

It caused my skin to burn for the first few weeks. Also, it bleaches out any cloth with which it comes in contact.

Make sure to keep your skin moisturized while you are using this product. I put on lotion twice during the day, plus I put it on after washing my face at night. After it has dried, I apply the Benzaclin. I also recommend letting the Benzaclin dry completely before going to bed. I've ruined a few tshirts and blankets with this product. Also, with this price I paid, it only amounts to $10 a month, but I have to pay $30 for a three month supply. My insurance covers the bulk of the cost, so I think if you don't have the same insurance, it might cost more.

Pros:

Cleared up acne pretty fast, also controlled oil and shine.

Cons:

made skin pretty dry and kinda sensative.

It does work. It only took about a week for me to notice signifigant improvement. But this product definitely requires a good moisturizer.

Pros:

Clears up existing pimples quickly, prevents new breakouts, abolishes oily skin.

Cons:

Dries skin, some bleaching of the skin.

I've been suffering from some degree of acne since I was 9 years old (I'm now in my early twenties) and Benzaclin is by far the most effective treatment I've used. I tried ProActiv for nearly 5 years, which helped manage acne, but really wasn't worth the price of negative effects for how much it did help. My doctor even prescribed birth control pills, which only made my acne even worse- more frequent and severe breakouts. I definitely recommed trying this for a 5-6 month trial period to see if it's right for you.

Pros:

doesn't dry my skin, easy to apply (absorbs quickly, goes on smoothly)

Cons:

without insurance, expensive. one tube lasts me more than one year, though, and i apply a fairly liberal amount. ignore the "two month" exp. date because the tube itself has a two year exp. date!

cleared my deeper, longer lasting acne in about 3 months. seems to keep new breakouts under control, but it doesn't help with pimples caused by hormones or sleep deprivation.
