Pros:

clears up acne fast, takes away oil

Cons:

makes skin rough, dry and very red. also face becomes oily again after about an hour

i would recommend this to those who don't have very sensitive skin. it does work but you need a very good moisturizer (non comedogenic)

Pros:

Since I have been using it I have not had a single spot!

Not having to spend lots of money on make-up to cover spots :)

Cons:

Does dry out the skin in places but if you moisturise in the day and use the cream at night I've found that this problem is mostly sorted :)

I put a bit of the cream on my back to keep that clear too but it bleached my top-it does warn you of this.

I did only have light acne, however, not being in my teens for a while now, I was fed up of teenage skin and fancied getting rid of pesky spots. Having used lots of products when i was younger and not getting the best results I was a little unsure as to whether this cream would actually help. However, after the first week of using this people were commenting about how good my skin looked (!) and I have not had a single spot since :) ! I, personally, can handle a bit of dry skin as I've always used facewash, moisturiser, etc from the doctor's for my extremely dry and sensitive skin. I'd just recommend getting a good moisturiser. Surely it's better to have a bit of dry skin than a spotty chin?

Pros:

I put this on every night as spot treatment. It tingles at first, but i think that's because it's working. It can dry your skin out so use lotion, and your face maybe red for a while. But deal with it, it takes up to 3 months for full results.

Cons:

Your skin may dry and get red. But it doesn't last forever, your skin just needs to get used to the medication.

It works as long as you are patient. Like all other things out there it takes time to show full results, But you should see some difference within a week.

Pros:

This works very well. gets rid of redness. it has helped after 3 weeks, not completely, but it has.

Cons:

dries skin out. makes skin peel. burns a little bit, but skin gets used to it.

my brother had very severe acne for about a year. he started using this and his skin is now perfectly clear! i never got much acne, but now it is all on my cheeks. so, hey, why not give it a try, right? if it worked for my brother then it can certainly work for me! so ive been using this for only about 3 weeks but it seems to be helping. its not totally clear but i have a good feeling that it will be soon if i keep using it.

Pros:

can smooth out skin and decrease spots a bit, maybe.

Cons:

The first night that i used this product my skin was really really itchy and sore. I woke up in the morning, my mum said that my skin had improved a bit, but was red. second day OUCH! My skin was severly dry, red and painful, i was in tears with pain

PLEEEEEASE DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN - YOU WILL REGRET IT!!! p.s it cost me nothing because of the NHS.

Pros:

Short term wonder. Clears up acne, skin is not oily or irritated.

Cons:

Toxic. Chemical damage to skin over time; skin becomes raw and discolored, destroys acid mantle protecting the skin from infection; antibiotic and BP absorb into body and can poison organs and beneficial bacteria, leading to systemic yeast infection

Probably better to deal with root causes of acne now instead of dealing with them plus additional, scarier health problems caused by Benzaclin later on when it stops working, which eventually it does. It stopped working for me after three years and for the friend of mine who was on it and we both got really bad acne after stopping, skin that was raw and unhealthy, and had systemic yeast infections.

Pros:

Definitely helps to dry out acne and pretty affordable

Cons:

drys out skin quite a bit so a moisturizer is needed for problem areas

I would recommend duac for spot treatment so don't over apply or dryness will defiantly be an issue. I have oily skin and this stuff is somehow capable of drying it out. I've been using the it for over two years and it's worked better than everything else i have tried, and believe me... i've been through my fair share of acne product nightmares

Pros:

This product works very fast with clear results after first 1-2days. This product is worth every penny!

Cons:

First time usage my resort in "tingling" light burning sensation but this is just the cream drying out your face, feels odd for the first time. Price, if not on prescription, is quite hefty (£20-70cl) but its worth it.

Highly recommend, great product. Gets rid of acne, fast, efficient results. Price quite hefty but i promise you it is worth it. It is probably best to be prescribed to you by a doctor firstly: Because you can get it free on presciption and secondly: Because you may be allergic or your skin my have a reaction to it which te doctor can warn to you about before you take it. Overall if you have any form of acne --GO FOR IT solves hormonal spots aswell A MUST BUY!
