Pros:

it works!! ive had it for about 2 months, and it has definately helped my skin. yes, it does slightly dry your skin, but i think that is good because it keeps your skin from being very oily. plus.. all you need is a oil-free moisturizer and your set!

Cons:

Pros:

It really works, I've tried so many different products that have never worked. As soon as I applied the product you could feel a difference. It only took me a week to notice a huge difference.

Cons:

Dries out your face....but not for long. Its worth it!

I didn't have to pay anything w/my insurance plan, so its free for me:-)

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

WELL WORTH IT

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:

I've only been on the med with my sis for 4 days and my face is much clearer. No redness or itching or any side effects but I am using a non-oil based sunscreen (Eucerin) for moistrue and protection.

Cons:

NONE

It's the only medication thats worked for me in years. I've tried every over the counter product for a prolonged time. I've tried oral antibiotics ,Tretinoin cream and even Proactive to no avail. I am very thankful my doctor prescribed this to me and my sister and we are both just amazed as to how well its been working. I've had acne for four years now and in four days my face has been seemingly revitalized. I recommend this to anyone with stubborn acne, it may be a tad expensive but it will save you face value in the long run ;p

Pros:

Works very fast. Overnight is the best time to use.

Cons:

A little burn and face gets hard. And price is 20 bucks.

Use it if you're desperate

Pros:

I noticed a significant reduction in breakouts within about one week of using Duac. I didnt find the smell offensive and I found it affordable (roughly £7 on British NHS scheme)

Cons:

If I miss an aplication I notice more spots the next day!

After over 10 years of mild-moderate acne (mainly around my jawline and lower cheeks) I felt I had tried everything (lots of topical treatments, oral antibiotics, and various contraceptives) I went to see my doctor with the aim of trying Roaccutane (a last resort!). When he prescribed another lotion I was disapointed but gave it a whirl anyway. I am very pleased to say that Duac has been very effective. My breakouts have been reduced by around 70%. I really felt my confidence was at an all time low...and this treatment has really changed things. I am not completely spot free, but like many other acne sufferers I have accepted I probably never will be. However I would recomend this treatment for anyone like myself who doesnt want to jeopardise their health by constantly taking pills.

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.
