Pros:

OVER NIGHT RESULTS. really cleared up my acne. wasnt THAT bad in the first place but helps with period zits. Its cheap for me, 18$ for a 3 month supply

Cons:

Really dried out my face with use of moisturizer but not for long.

WELL WORTH IT

Pros:

First topical medication that's worked wonders for me within the first 2-3 days of use.

I've tried Metro Lotion, Differin, etc and nothing has even compared. Metro Lotion is way too greasy and Differin was much too intense for me.

Cons:

Costly, I paid $160 because my insurance doesn't cover it.

It also can make your skin dry, but I apply Cetaphil moisturizer over it at night.

After having moderate acne for the last 10 years and trying everything under the sun, I am so thrilled that I found a doctor that knows what he is doing. He put me on Amoxicillin antibiotics and Duac and my face has seriously cleared in the last 4 days. I don't have one pimple left. It's a miracle. I wish I had this regime 10 years ago.

Pros:

After a few weeks of use, it gives you great facial skin to flaunt. It definitely keeps acne away.

Cons:

Your skin might feel dry, tight, itchy after it is applied. It usually doesn't last for more than a few minutes. Moisturizer usually helps.

Benzaclin is the only acne medication that has worked for my skin. I recommend to everyone and anyone that has had problems dealing with acne. It usually takes more than a few weeks for your acne to clear up, but it's well worth the wait. Once it's gone your skin is back to normal. I used it all throughout high school and I've never had clearer skin. It works great!

Pros:

works fast, no intial bad breakouts from product, didn't dry me out

Cons:

My insurance does not cover the cost of this product so I pay $150 every 5-6 weeks to purchase this product and it is worth it!

I am 22 Female, caucasion with very fair skin. Rolling scars and hyperpigmentation. This is the only product in my having 10 years of acne that has ever stopped my breakouts and kept me clear. I would really recommend this if you have never used it before! Products I tried were Retin-A, differin, glycolic peels, dans regimen, and so many other I can't even remember. This product works for me and I hope it can help you! Now on to the scars.

Pros:

it didnt dry out my skin excessively, it slows the occurence of acne to the point where it just goes away (:
free for me because my dermatologist keeps giving me free samples LOL. :D

Cons:

careful if you put in on your back; it can bleach your clothes. my skin got a tad flaky, nothing that bad really. and be persistent, it'll be a few weeks till you really see improvement.

my acne used to be BAD, i had i think it's either nodular or cystic acne, like i would have huge lumps under my skin all over my cheeks, i would hide literally. i have been using this for 1-2 months, my acne is alottttt less now, though i have quite the scarring/inflammation :( it is a good medication; i have very oily skin so it basically normalized that part. dried it a little, but i'm down with that. this is not a medication that gives you fast results; it'll be a few weeks until the acne starts to diminish, it will seem like the acne occurence is slowing down, you are getting less pimples, then the acne just almost goes away completely, except for the occasional bump or two. overall, it's a pretty good cream (: oh and i'm using some home remedies and taking oral medicine as well.

Pros:

gets rid of pimples and keeps the away

Cons:

drys out skin sometimes

it really works, but dont stop using it bc the pimples will come back. even if you stop for one night.
July 6, 2009

Pros:

It works very quickly and your skin continues to heal after use. The benzoyl Peroxide is so effective it works in one hour.

Cons:

It doesnt fade scars. Must be kept in the fridge.

The best thing that ever happened to my face.
