Pros:

-Gets rid of your acne!
-You'll see results no later than a week after use.

Cons:

-Really expensive for me. I don't know about you guys, but it cost about $110 for me.

I got Benzaclin prescribed to me by my dermatologist along with this kind of gel called Differin. Together, they work like a charm! But it takes a while, so just be patient. For me, it took about a month. If you're new to Benzaclin and you have mild-severe acne, be patient because the during the first few days of use, it'll look as if your acne is getting worse. Don't worry =) It takes a while to get used to, so just stick with it and your skin will become better and better! Also....don't pop your zits! That'll only makes your acne worse!!

Pros:

worked at clearing up zits faster, and reducing the number and size.

Cons:

didnt completely get rid of them, got an occasional bad zit once in a while

i get bout 6-7 small pimples and 1-2 big ones a week before taking this. Started taking solodyn and using benza clin and it started to work pretty fast after bout 2 weeks. Its been 5 weeks and the whole time ive only gotten 2 big zits and several smaller ones, and the ones i get go away way faster. Definately works although i wish it cured it. IT cost 50 bucks but havent had a refill on it yet so it lasts probly 2 months if use it conservately

Pros:

i had semi-severe acne for years. i've tried retin-a, differin (both gel and cream), clindagel, proactiv...everything and nothing worked. this is the first time i've had clear skin since i was in 9th grade. i do need help with my scars however.

Cons:

extremely dry skin if i don't use a moisturizer in the morning - be very careful around eyes

works great - i hope my skin never becomes immune to it so i can use it forever

Pros:

I've only been using this product for not even a week, and I already know a BIG difference!! - With Moderate Acne-

Cons:

I still use Nivia's- Cleanser and Exfoliator- and ONLY Proactiv's cleanser... so after putting Duac on it makes my face BURN, RED, uncomfortable, tight, and Flakey -- BUT --

I eliminated the dryness problem by using the following- Jojoba Oil all organic- for moisturizer (there is a substance in jojoba oil that imitates sebum oil so, once absorbed, the skin stops producing sebum oil) you can buy them in Health Food Stores. It's also good for your hair, nails, and the rest of your body. I also use Alba's aloe and green tea oil-free moisturizer(Which Aloe and Green Tea in it which obviously makes your skin soft/healthy). Also if you're like me and have dryness under the eyes try Burt's Bees Eye Cream... Which contains vitamins and 8 essential amino acids to soften the skin and firm the skin. It also includes (Royal Jelly which is one of the most powerful nutrient found in nature which is fed to the queen bee that lives 40 times longer and 50% bigger then the rest of the bees.) But Overall: Duac is great stuff, and is probably the smartest move I made towards getting rid of Acne. I hope when all you guys try this stuff, you also ge

Pros:

Clears up acne insanely quickly. Texture of skin becomes very smooth. Unclogged my pores. Prevents future breakouts and dries out the ones you already have. Better complexion. Etc...

Cons:

It can be very expensive. Sometimes (NOT all the time) it can burn your skin, making it feel very tight, but puffy and red. After a while, you get to know how much you need to use to keep from the burning sensation. But it works like a charm!

---I use Duac with Retin-A Micro, (Retin-A Micro unclogs the pores, and Duac gets rid of the inflammatory acne, or the bumps). I have noticed that the second you put Duac on, you definitely need to put some moisturizer on afterwards since Duac does turn off your body's "moisturizing machine" or sebum. It makes a world's difference. ---Sometimes if I just have some troublesome areas that just popped up, I put some Duac on and it's practically gone the next day. ---But remember with acne treatments you MUST be patient! It takes time, kids! I cannot live without Duac. Also, I use Retin-A Micro in the morning, and Duac at night (because it makes me drier, so then my makeup would get messed up and cakey or flakey). Also, FLAKING IS PART OF THE DUAC/RETIN-A PROCESS! That is how your body helps get rid of the acne - it dries up and flakes off. So moisturize.
