Pros:

-works

Cons:

-dry skin

I just wanted to say that if this product gives you dry skin, the only thing that worked to moisturize me was Neotrogena Oil-free Sensitive skin moisturizer. I tried over 10 different moisturizers and that is the only one that stopped the crustyness without breaking me out.

Pros:

I have only been using this product for two days and it has completely cleared up my skin already... some faint spots are still there but i bet they will be gone by tomorrow !!! love it!!

Cons:

my skin has been a little dry but i have been mixing it with moisturizer at night and that seems to do the trick ... also i apply moisturizer after i get out of the shower in the morning

ITS AMAZING....i hope it always works like this and is not just a new thing good thing lol ... my Dr. swears by this stuff though

Pros:

Worked, easy to apply and it was free for me (on prescription).

Cons:

Stopped working after a long while. I guess my skin just got used to it.

I was very happy with this product for a long time, but now it sadly doesn't seem to work. I think that may be the anti biotic part of the cream. I'm now happily moving back over to BP gel.. and wondering why I stopped just using that.

Pros:

The product helps stop the oil on the surface of your skin and you will be able to see a significant difference with your active pimples in less than 1-2 days of using it.

Cons:

May dry out your skin if u use more than a dime sized amount.

It may also be expensive if your insurance doesn't cover the cost.

I'm 23 and I've had acne since I was about 15. I've used everything from home remedies to lazer treatments and other topical medications but none worked as good as this. I've only been using it for a few days now and I am already seeing improvement (skin is not oily, no new pimples formed, and reduction of existing pimples). For those who have given up hope, it doesn't hurt to try!

Pros:

For short periods of time it works

Cons:

It's not consistent at all

I used Duac along with Differin, and washing my face every day and my acne became worse than just using off the shelf-acen clearasil products. Before I took these products my acne was moderate, after Duac my acne became severe.

Pros:

-Cleared my face...which is all I care about

Cons:

-Dryness
-Redness but went away
-EXPENSIVE

I loved this product. It worked well for my skin and I noticed a total improvement. But now I cannot use this because it is over $120. Cannot afford BUT for those who can, I would recommend it.

Pros:

works well with controlling oil and maintaining a clear face

Cons:

it just maintains not fixes. without it my face freaks out and with it i get to have normal acne

great but if you have severe acne look into adding something else along with it. great for oil control though.

reduces size and redness of spots and clears them up in a couple of days
makes skin less greasy

Cons:

doesn't seem to prevent spots

I was prescribed duac by a dermatologist a couple of years ago and it works well at reducing the size and redness of spots - i notice the difference when i don't use it plus it makes my skin much less greasy .

Pros:

I used the gel, so it was non-greasy. Did not smell and felt good on my face.

Cons:

Did not work as well as I would have liked. It made the size of the pimples smaller, but I still broke out.

Best for very light acne. If you have severe acne this may not work for you.

Pros:

Best acne product I have ever used. Cleared almost all my current acne and prevents it from comming back. I have only had 1 breakout in 4 months and it was cleared within 3 days.

Cons:

Dry skin, ask your doctor which face lotion to use. It also takes about a month to really start working.....well worth the wait though!

Great product that's well worth the price. Wash your face before using to get best results.
