Pros:

Have only been using for 4 days and it has already started clearing up my complextion.

Cons:

Dry skin but worth it.

This product works fast. Looking to get rid of acne fast this works just put lotion on your face about 15 mins after application to help with dryness. It is expensive if you don't have insurance to pay for it $116 for 3 month supply but mine was free because of insurance.

Pros:

Works great, you see results right away! It's covered by my insurance plan so I'm not sure of the cost in my area.

Cons:

A bit drying at first - my skin is very oily so this isn't a problem (in fact, I use it along with another drying product, Brevoxyl cleanser), but even with my skin there was some flaking at first.

I absolutely love this stuff. I am 39 and have suffered from very oily skin and cystic acne since I was 16. Every so often I try to go without it but the whiteheads, blackheads, and cysts pop right back up. This product has an impact right away and it's great to see it reduce even stubborn cysts.

Pros:

Worked for me within the first day!! and has continued working since Feb.

Cons:

well not really many cons except you have to clean your face then use it which i tend to get too lazy to do or i forget to use it sometimes

It is a great product and i use it with doxicylin which keeps your acne from getting worse and the benzaclin gets rid of all the other acne and I LOVE IT!!! it took me only 1 day to see results! it works amazingly!!

Pros:

Never have had more than 5 pimples on my face at one time since I've used it.

Cons:

Sometimes leaves whiteness on your face.

If you never want to deal with acne, get Benzaclin.

Pros:

Best cream i tried....

Cons:

little bit of dryness but not much ... i put lotion on first before i put benzaclin and the dryness effect doesnt happen..

it wasnt expensive... i work at a doctors office which he prescribed me this cream and i will use it forever!!

Pros:

This product is amazing!!! I haven't been using it for very long but not only does it not smell, it gets rid of my blemishes and red marks so quickly.

Cons:

Don't use it too much or too often at first. Otherwise you will either make your skin red or make it very, VERY dry. Use a pea-sized amount only!!!

Also it's very expensive if you don't have healthcare or the rebate. Ask your dermo for the reb

If your dermo offers this, take it! I've been using it with differin so I'm still in the purging stage but my skin (unblemished spots) feel sooooo nice! It's a baby's bottom it's so soft! I hope the results continue to be this good!

Pros:

I love it! W/ the combonation of Retin-A, I cleared up in 2-3 weeks!

Cons:

Sticky feeling when put on.. but definitely worth it.

I put Retin-A at nite and then the DUAC in the morning. Put my positurizer over it and then makep up and I was ready to go. =)

Pros:

Works relatively fast and keeps face clear when used regularly as directed.

Cons:

I've noticed dryness in the area of application but just for a little while.

Since I began using BenzaClin I have had no more acne. In the morning I apply it, message it in good, then apply my oil free moisturizer and makeup. No problem! At night I apply it before my nighttime moisturizer.
October 11, 2006

Pros:

Works in a small matter of time and works well.
Large pimples were zapped almost overnight

Cons:

Can lead to very dry skin and does not blend well with moisturizers

Is the best solution for acne that I have found yet. Just make sure you use a good moisturizer and use sparingly.
