Pros:

It actually works!! My mild acne has decreased a lot.

Cons:

The first week and a half I used it my face was really dry, burned and itched.

Overall, I definitely recommend it. It has cleared my face up, and I no longer have the side effects. It doesn't burn or itch when I put it on anymore as long as I put on moisturizer before using it. The first week of use my face actually broke out more than normal. Don't let this stop you from using it! It cleared up within another week and a half. After almost three weeks of use, I'm finally seeing results. So be patient!

Pros:

Clears up acne really fast

Cons:

Can dry your face out and make it itchy and sometimes red.

Awesome product for any ace i believe, i had moderate acne but ever since i used this product in the morning my acne had been hardly noticeable, i stoped using it for a while during the day because i did not like going to school with my face being all dryed out, but now its summer vacation and i will use it every morning. Please get this product if you want results!!!!

Pros:

Effective and more convenient than its competitors

Cons:

Price

Expensive but very effective when used as part of a clear skin regimen (washing face, moisturizing, etc 2x a day w/ recommended products).

Pros:

Duac worked fast and did not make my face irritated.

Cons:

I used Benzaclin in a pump not good. The pump was hard to work with different amounts and got all over - messy. My Mom threw it away and took me back to our dermatologist.

I'm sticking with Duac ad seeing my face clear up.

Pros:

within a few days will get a much clearer complexion,as it unblocks pores.

Cons:

face may go red.if used more than necessary amount skin peels and burns.

Less is more when applying this product,i know all of us are keen to get rid of those nasties which have an awful habit of cropping up just before a date-but please resist the tendency to slap this product on or else you'll live to regret it the next day!

Pros:

It works quickly and effectively

Cons:

It dries out the skin and if you put more than what you need it can even burn your skin as its got benzoyl peroxide.So be careful.

Its a very good product, better than most of the acne medicines that are available over the counter e.g. Freederm...(waste of money and time) No matter how oily your face is, you need to moisturise it after 15-20 mins of applying DUAC as it switches off your natural moisturiser tap (stops sebacious glands from producing oil)hence drying ur face. so put some cream on to stop it from drying and geeting wrinkly.

Pros:

works well to stop acne forming, and clear existing spots

Cons:

doesnt work so well in clearing up the red marks and scars left behind

i got bad acne at 15 and had it bad till i was 17ish. i went on the pill and it cleared up completely after a few months. this summer i decided to risk going of the pill as it wasnt great for my body (big mistake) within weeks it had all flared up again. the doc perscribed duac and since ive been using it i have had no other spots forming, and the existing raised spots calmed down and have not flared up again. it took a few weeks to get there, but now my face is smooth and not raised like it used to.the only problem is the red marks im left with not pleasnt. advice for girls, invest in a really good cleanser, i know it maybe expensive and more than the acne treatment itself but a clean face with makeup complelty removed helps the process more quickly. i use an estee lauder one myself and it takes all m makeup of perfectly. remember it takes time, eventually it will go so be pateint

Pros:

Clears up acne at a pretty fast rate. Helps with acne marks.

Cons:

Dries your skin too much.

It is a very good product, but dont put it everywhere. Since it is so strong you only put it on the problem areas(ur acne) not your whole face. If you put too much on it will be bad because it will just cause you to break out and it will not help you at all.
