Pros:

Does treat and shrink pimples sometimes, depending on the location of pimple and how big it is it doesn't effect it by much

Cons:

Price; Doesn't effect pimples much that I can tell and after I used it for the first few days I had a really bad break out on my chin that hasn't happened to me before using it...tried using it on break out, didn't help much

I don't know if I like this acne treatment. It also leaves the skin tight and dry. I don't think it works for me though it's worked well on other people. I'm wondering if the bacteria I have is immune to the anitibiotic in the treatment and it sucks

Pros:

Clear, lovely skin, even on the back
works fast on individual breakouts
Helps a little bit with large cysts and nodules

Cons:

When they say "give it six weeks," they mean down to the day, because it took that entire time to actually see full results
Ended up having to use twice a day, so I ran out faster

Though I saw a little improvement right from the first day, it DID take a long time for my skin to clear up. But the wait was 100% worth it. I've never felt this good when Iooked in the mirror I have painful cystic acne, and although topical creams don't generally work on those, I've found this product helps them heal much faster. Day I went to the doctor, I had a nodule the size of a small grape on my cheekbone. It was completely gone in 4 days after starting Duac, and ordinarily it would have taken weeks

Pros:

Works better than anything else I have ever tried; is covered by my insurance plan.

Cons:

Causes burning/redness if used every night (vs. every other night); bleaches fabric (towels, pillowcases).

I have been using this for 4 years (after an initial round of tetracycline for 4 months to get my skin under control). Although I have noticed some decreased effectiveness in the past year (likely due to bacterial resistance from using the product for so long), it has worked amazingly for me. For 4 years my skin was almost perfectly clear, and spot applying it to a pimple would make it clear up quickly. I have to apply it every other night (instead of every night) or I get too much burning/redness, and the irritation can actually cause me to break out. I make sure I use a good moisturizer with it to keep the irritation down (la roche posay hydraphase). No other topical treatment I've used even came close to working for me (clindamycin alone, retinol, proactive).

Pros:

Reduces Redness, less breakouts. See results in the first week!

Cons:

Dries out skin, makes skin very tight.

I have used this stuff b4 for about 2months and it worked awesome....It cleared my face up 75 % and i hardly got any breakouts at all. I then stopped using it and went to Differin which was a mistake. I quit using it and went back to benzaclin and my face is already showing a difference....im gonna also start using bactrim pills with the benzaclin...Wish me luck!. Benzaclin works wonders !

Pros:

WORKS

Cons:

skin dries out, but use a mild moisturizer

I've had many problems with my skin, I've used other products but each and everytime they failed, because of the severity of dryness on my sensetive skin. I went to my dermatologist, and she presribed me this. She stated that it was a process, and it would look its worse then eventually become its best. She was right. I no longer have any pimples and my skin is clear noone would ever know that i had bad acne! It will dry out your skin, and your skin will look its worse at first, but then it will gradually get better and stay that way If you stop it, your skin may go back to normal and if you use it again it may take longer to get clear. thats the only con. but your skin will get back to clear.

Pros:

Got rid of my Acne! Seriously.

Cons:

The first week, I broke out severely and it dried out my skin a bit.

This product worked for me 100%. I just use it before I go to bed and then apply moisturizer in the morning and it doesn't dry out my skin anymore!

Pros:

OMIGOD!!! Cleared my face up almost immediately!!! I love this stuff!!! I have suffered with acne for so long and decided to go see a dermatologist since my sister is getting married. I wanted my face clear!!!

Cons:

It dries the heck out of your skin!!! Burns when you first start using it (if it's used along with a facial wash with Benzoyl peroxide in it also)!!! But hey NO PAIN NO GAIN!!! Get a good mild moisturizer! (Cetaphil)

This stuff works wonders!!! My skin had dark marks on it FOR YEARS! I should have done this sooner!!! It's the best! I love my dermatologist for giving me this.

Pros:

It helped clear up my acne really quickly. I noticed less red spots after one day. I haven't been using it for a long time, but I know in the long run my face will be all clear.

Cons:

It really dries up your skin, but it is worth it because you won't have any acne. It also bleaches everything, so keep it away from clothes, hair, etc. It is also a little bit expensive.

I would highly recommend this to people with acne because over time it will clear you right up! Just be patient and you will see results.
