Pros:

Fragrance free, feels cool on your skin, i like the tubular shape lol

Cons:

doesn't really spread on evenly, dries the hell out of my skin- ashyness isn't cute on brown skin, NOT TO MENTION IT'S EXPENSIVE AS HELL!

I guess the product is pretty good, but i can't tell using all the other meds. cuz i'm also using tazorac and i'm suppose to use a breoxyl creamy wash,(i know i spelled it wrong, but too lazy to get the bottle)but switched to cetaphil since the instruc. sayS wash with non-mdeicated cleanser. And it sucks cuz i seem like the only idiot who paid 175.99 for it. Mann Medicad sucks! But then again my ma paid for it lol!

Pros:

Shrinks my acne, takes redness away after a few applications

Cons:

I have dermitidous so finding an acne medicine is hard. I have really dry skin that is always breaking out, with benzaclin it makes me EVEN more dry but it does help the acne

It does work well. I only get bad breakouts about once a month. If you are a person with sensitive skin then just be careful with how much you use. Def. need to use some moisturizer. I've been on this stuff forever and compared to the other acne medications I've used, this one works the best.

Pros:

Works well and got rid of my mild/moderate acne.

Cons:

Didn't completely get everything gone. I still had the occasional break out which kind of sucked. It didn't get rid of the acne any faster than normal otc products either.

It works, but it isn't a permanent or total solution. My skin cleared up but it wasn't incredibly fast or totally clear. My forehead and chin would still break out, but that might have been from where my lacrosse helmet was touching my face. After a few years the effects wore off and I started to break out again.

Pros:

Clears up my skin really fast and prevents any new breakouts from occurring!! Amazing product.. put it on and the next day your pimples are noticeably smaller/gone! Amazing.

Cons:

Makes your skin EXTREMELY dry.. I use this in the AM and Retin-A Micro in the PM and my skin is super dry.. sometimes to the point of peeling. Find a mousturizer that works for your skin and you should be fine.

This product WORKS. It might dry up your skin, but if you want your pimples gone.. this will work for you. Just make sure you use a moisturizer with it and you will be super happy!! It's pretty expensive if you don't have insurance.. but with insurance, it only costs me $15 for a small container.. but it lasts for a LONG time (until it expires every 3 months).

Pros:

Clears my Acne in just a few hours of using it. I can already see that it has reduced my redness and swelling.

Cons:

As everyone put it does leave skin dry but that happens with every type of medication.

It works, and with me using minocycline I can see my skin healing and getting better as im writing. Also with tricare I get an awesome price.

use it

Pros:

it works like a DREAM! within like a week almost all my acne was gone!! thats if i dont pick at it and use it twice a day.

Cons:

it tightens your skin like crazy. you feel like you just had botox after you put it on. it eventually goes away if you make weird faces.
and if you stop using it, it comes all back. at least for me

i freaking love this stuff!!! it works. period. it may dry out your skin and tighten it up, but for clear skin i dont care what it gives me. ive tried every product under the sun including proactiv (that gave me more breakouts!) but this is the only one that works. soooo ask your doctor about it like NOW and go get it.

Pros:

In the week I have been using BenzaClin my mild/moderate acne has cleared up greatly. It is working great and I am exicted about this, because I have not had clear skin since I was in middle school and I am going into my senior year, so thats a +!

Cons:

Leaves me face a little bit dry. I use this stuff from Mary-K that my mom got for me called Velocity and I use the cleanser in the shower, and put on the mosturizer, and than apply Benzaclin, I probably use too much, but its hard to agrue with the re

Buy it! I didn't have to pay a thing insurance covered it, anyone who just finally wants to clear up their skin get it

Pros:

It works fast

Cons:

i have to refrigerate it

It works and its easy to use because it is just washing your face and putting Duac on. I have used it for two years and so far my body isn't immune to the medication. Im glad about that = D
