Pros:

It will get rid of your acne considerably in a few days

Cons:

It will bleach hair and clothing! so if you have acne by your eyebrows or hairline make sure you wash it off your hair because it will bleach it out! It does make your face kinda dry so use a moisturizer after

It works really well but i need more so i don't know about the price.... I love it

Pros:

It will take away whiteheads etc. within 2 days of use

Cons:

It dries skin a little, so use a moisturizer. Also it will not remove blackheads.

It works well! It will get rid of big or small whiteheads. It dose dry out skin, but use REVIVE'S MOISTURE RENEWAL CREAM!! The cream is 150 dollars but it gets rid of ALL dryness and evens complexion overnight. It works for everyone I know.

Pros:

Cleared up my acne (along with an improved diet & exercise). Works faster than benzoyl peroxide alone. Smooth and fragrance free.

Cons:

Dries skin. Leaves dark spots behind.

It took a good 4 weeks for me to start seeing some results. I use this at night with aloe vera gel afterwards. My "breakouts" now consist of 2-3 small pimples per week instead of 4-5 medium pimpes per week. The only reason I'm unsatisfied is because it seems to make acne scarring worse & it leaves skin looking red and irritated in the morning (after cleansing).

Pros:

Clears up redness and dries existing pimples within a week

Cons:

- Drys and peels face somewhat
- Caused dry lips for me (uncomfortable)
- Expensive w/o insurance

I'm using this product with another prescription, Differin. Within two weeks my face looks probably 50% better, but I still had two fresh pimples. My back has improved considerably- I used to have boil-like acne in the center of my back before I used the product. This product still hasn't cleared up the deep existing red spots that I've had for months and months. Maybe it needs more time, we'll see. So far, I'm pleased. I hope you have insurance- without it Benzaclin would have cost me $146.00

Pros:

Well, I got it cheaply (cough, free, cough) because my dad works in medicine...

Cons:

none thus far.

I don't actually use this product specifically -- I use 1% benzoyl peroxide on my face followed by 1% clindamycin suspension lotion. I have mild acne and this has cleared 75% of the acne in about 3 days.

Pros:

Ihave been using it for 31/2 weeks now and I started to see a result.

Cons:

The first week it was very difficult to touch my face as it got very irritated from using this product it also dries your skin.

I never had acne prior to a 2 months ago. I started breaking out around my lips after undergoing lasic hair removal and it spread from there causing sever painful cyst all over my face and neck. I use Duac in the morning along with Tazorac at night and Minocyline twice a day. I have seen a drast reduction in the pimples even though I am now left with dark scaring on both cheeks. The pimples have not completely gone away but I am optomistic that it will. from what I have read it takes 4-6 weeks to see a result. Crossing my fingers. Don't know how people have had acne for years and dealt with it.

Pros:

Clears up mild acne fast
Cheap with a health plan
No weird smell, not thick or greasy

Cons:

Skin gets very dried out
Mild peeling
Some redness

I have used this product for about a week and I am happy with the results. I have not had a new break out yet. I have had a little bit of redness and some peeling. I only use this once a day because my skin is sensitive and is very dry. I think this product works well on people with mild break outs.

Pros:

It's the only thing that completely clears me up and prevents my semi-cystic acne. Works quickly, controls oil, prevents breakouts

Cons:

Sometimes it's drying - be sure to use moisturizer during the day and use product at night, does bleach pillowcases (use white ones while on this product!)

I love this stuff. I use Duac gel at night, I take minocylin anti-biotics (100mg once a day), Triaz Cleanser twice a day and this keeps me perfectly clear. I've had consistant acne since age 20, I'm now 25...I've tried everything... Proactiv, Murad, shots in my pimples from the derm (ouch!!), Retin A... you name it I've done it all short of laser surgery! This is the only thing that keeps me perfectly clear. Also I have an allergy to diary... so cow milk, cow cheese and anything containing dairy aggervates my breakouts and causes them to be terribly cystic so I substitue with soy products. Also, ask for the $15 instant rebate for the Duac, I think you can sign up online as well. $20 insurance co-pay - $15 rebate = $5 cost to me.

Pros:

Makes my face feel clean--seemed to help a little bit. I get acne mostly on my forehead and around my mouth/chin area and my chest and back. My forehead cleared up a lot.

Cons:

My back is still the same and it made my chest worse. I still have acne, and have new acne emerging, around my mouth/chin area.

I've used this product before about 2 years ago and didn't have GREAT results but I figured I'd try it again now in hope that it would be different. Apparently not so. For me, it doesn't work. Maybe it will just take a little more time.
