Pros:

Works fast, consistently clears skin (effect doesn't fade the longer you use it), quick and easy to apply. Fragrance free, and comes with a great facewash, SFC (soap free cleanser). Great for sensitive skin.

Cons:

Can bleach clothing, semi-expensive ($25/tube, but lasts a few months)

STRONGLY RECOMMEND IT! I have been using it for years, I still get some minor spots, but Duac has helped my skin more than any other acne product I've tried! I really do love it. If you have problems with looking oily after using it, try getting some of those Clean & Clear oil absorbing sheets (they have generic brands too at CVS that are a dollar cheaper). They are awesome!

Pros:

quick amazing results !

Cons:

no side effects for me.

I reached a stage where i got pimples poping out everywhere, especially my forehead ! i could not take it anymore. i went to the doctors and they recommended duac. I bought it, and recieved results the next day !! though, for full clear results, you need to be patient and wait a few weeks. your propbabley thinking i cant do afew weeks, but trust me u can. its worth it !! my pimples arre STARTING to pop out again, and im about to go buy the product tomorrow !

Pros:

Works great on blackheads, goes on with makeup easily and can use even after expiration date.

Cons:

Smells weird, won't stop the pimples you get while on your period, little zits and bumps appear, & still get those red pimples.

I've used this for over a year. Started out great. Not zits and no pimples. But then..you get immune after a while hence the switching back and forth from routines. I' used it with differin 1% and it went well for a couple months. Differin dries and benzaclin doesn't. I'd advise trying it but don't expect too much

Pros:

Absolutely love this stuff. I have had acne problems since being a teen and have tried many things, i.e., Retin-A micro, oral antibiotics, Proactive and none have worked. In fact the Retin-A micro made by skin horribly worse. This is the best.

Cons:

I have not found any cons. I started once a day to make sure it didn't dry out my skin but eventually my doctor told me to apply twice. I have noticed no dryness.

I would highly recommend this product. Absolutely the best acne product I have ever tried. My doc uses it twice a day and her skin is beautiful.

Pros:

Seems to have gotten rid of the whiteheads on my forehead which the Clindamycin didn't. Can be used as a spot treatment to help dry pimples up.

Cons:

Super drying and I usually have oily skin. Red face, peely skin. Even the DML moisturizer didn't help.

Suffered from acne off and on since high school and am 35 YO now. Use Solodyn, Benzaclin and Retin-A. Not sure which has done the trick but been clear for a few months now, except for the occ. pimple around my period. Had been using Clindamycin but tried Benzaclin to clear up the whiteheads on my forehead. Benzaclin has cleared them up but my face super dry and even the DML didn't help even though usu. have oily skin. Started to wash my face only at night (Cetaphil for oily skin) and use the Benzaclin as a spot treatment and preventive on my t-zone. Also cut back on the dairy, switched to organic milk for my cereal and stopped eating soy. My acne is hormonal and stress-related so believe it or not but think yoga helps me too. Not only does it relieve my stress but I think the breathing is cleansing. I still have bumpy scars around my mouth but hope they'll reduce over time. Also had two chem peels by Dr. but not convinced they help.

Pros:

Works well. Easy to use. Can be used for spot treatments if needed. Works quickly.

Cons:

Dries your skin. If you have dry skin to begin with, then you will probably need a mosturizer along with it.

I've had acne since i can remember, and nothing has completely cleared it ( waiting to see if this does) My Dermatologist has me on Benza-Clin during the day, Triaz Foaming Cloths for my back and chest when i shower, and Ziana at night. This may seem like alot but the mess of it all is really down deep. Benza-Clin is an important acne fighter in my remedy. TRY IT. What can you lose?
