Pros:

When I initially used it I thought it was awesome! I only have mild break-out along the chin area, however, nothing would help it. After two days the acne had cleared up and I figured it would be "the answer."

Cons:

After two days I stopped using it. The area around my chin was not only dry and flaky, but it was very painful to even open my mouth. I was using a moisturizer. My skin also had an orange tint to it along with the rough, dry texture of an orange!

Having weighed the Pros and Cons, I decided NOT to give up on the product. I am going to wait until my skin is not so irritated from the product and use it again. However, I will use less of it and apply it only to the acne lesions instead of the entire chin area.

Pros:

I have moderate acne at age 33. I get an occasional white head, mostly blackheads, and just bumps on forehead, cheeks, chin, neck. I LOVE this product so far!! I have used it for 3 days, and I can tell a HUGE difference.

Cons:

None Yet!

I have never been on acne medicine as this whole crappy skin thing is new to me. So far my skin is soft, pretty much blemish free, no redness, or irritation of any kind. I think it just depends on the skin and person to determine if it works for you. I only use it at night, and I hope it continues to work this good in the future.

Pros:

I like the benzaclin pump they gave me. Its a 50G pump that lasts me 4 months. Cleared skin really fast. Reduced pimple size and some redness
BEST PRODUCT I HAD EVER USED

Cons:

VERY DRYING! face felt very tight after putting it on. NEED A MOISTURIZER WITH THIS PRODUCT

I had very bad acne. this product cleared up my face in less then 2 weeks! My face is clear now and im still using it i love it i get the odd pimple i only use it at night with Vichy normaderm night and i use the Vichy normaderm hydrating care in the day. My face is clear and i recommend benzaclin to anyone with acne

Pros:

It does help minimize breakouts...

Cons:

Turns skin reddish and makes it sensative.... It has made my skin around my nose more red, leaving my veins under my nose more noticeable. It is also extremely expensive...no insurance.

I have used this product for roughly 4 years as a preventative measure. I continue using it because i am afraid if i stop i will break out and that is unexceptable. The product isn't affordable at all since i have no insurance, i used to pay over $120 for 50g. It is worth a little red if you are a woman, make-up covers the redness up pretty well.

Pros:

It really works, and it works fast!

Cons:

Dries out the skin a little bit, and can be a little pricy if you don't have insurance, but it is a small price to pay...

I am 22 years old, have had beautiful skin up until about 3 months ago. I started to break out bad on the sides of my mouth and jawline. I would say that my acne was pretty minor, but never having a pimple a day in my life I was freaking out. I have very oily skin so this medication worked very well for me. I would recommend this to anyone who has oily skin. I saw my derm. on tues, now it's sunday and my skin is completely clear! She perscribed benzclin to me along with an antibiotic but she said that the antibiotic would take at least 4 weeks to make a difference so im pretty sure this magical cream did the job! My skin is clear and it even helped out with the redness of past scar marks. Bottom line, this stuff is amazing!

Pros:

Did clear up my skin a bit for a few days but it seemed to lose its effectiveness towards the end of the month.

Cons:

Tube is too small. You need to put more on than directed for it to be effective, but then your skin dries out as a result. Doesnt work on back acne.

It does work and is probably great if you have mild acne, but it wont get rid of cysts or serious acne. It doesnt smell and feels good on your skin and only is drying if you put too much on. Good value as I get it free.

Pros:

it cleared up my acne but took 3 whole months to do it

Cons:

initial breakouts and scars

i had some minor pimples on my cheek and temple..i used duac wit Doryx and had a horrible initial reaction to it the 1st week...i broke out bad! one small pimple turned into a 5 in an area...so i went back to my derm and he told me to keep using it (idiot) and that i won't see result until after 2-3 months. its almost 3 months now and my acne cleared up..what sucks about duac is that it left me with a bunch of scars and discolartion from the initial breakout...well hopefully they'll go away after the summer...acne sucks! da anti-social disease...i hate it so much! well i hope it works for u too...

Pros:

Only been using it for a week or so, but my larger spots seem to be going away already which I tend to get on my neck, jawline and lower cheeks. Hasn't dried out my skin.

Cons:

The tube is quite small.

Seems to be working slowly but surely but isn't good if you get acne on your back/arms etc like I do, so is probably better to use in conjunction with an aural medication. Seems pricey in USA as you don't get cheap/free prescriptions like you do here in the UK! :)

Pros:

Works where eveything else has failed - from Proactive to Murad to pills, etc.
Greatly reduced acne and unlike other products, after a year of use, it is still working for me.

Cons:

Very costly. I use it every night and if I miss a night or 2, its usually not good.
Does probably dry out my skin a little bit.
Also, I occasionally have some constipation I believe caused by Duac, but nothing severe enough to make me stop usin

The side effects don't really matter at all if this is the only thing that is going to work for you. Yeah, it does make my redder and have a weird texture after use, but I use it at night, so it doesn't matter. I went to my doctor, not a specialist, for a meningitis shot and saw a pamphlet in his office. After blowing about 500$ seeking the advice of 2 specialists as well as purchasing the meds they prescribed, I'm glad I was lucky and finally found something that worked. I used proactive and it stopped working for me after about a month.
