Pros:

works great!

Cons:

expensive and stains everything

this stuff works great but will dry out your skin pretty bad if your not using the right moisturizer. i use the olay regenerist line for day and night and my skin hasnt been dry in a long time. benzaclin mixed with olay products works great!!

Pros:

Worked great for me! Only thing that actually worked so far and continues to work.

Cons:

Was expensive for me even with insurance. Face was very dry for the first couple weeks then skin got used to it

Great acne product. Recommend to everyone. I use product every night before I go to sleep. Keeps me clear. A little goes a long way for me. Keep face moisturized after showering though.

Pros:

Worked well for me.

Cons:

It made my skin dry, but lotion helped with that.

It took about a month to see a differnce and now after 2 months I'm all clear. I still get a small pimple here and there, but that's it. My scars are fading and my skin actually looks nice. I use benzaclin in the morning, bactrim 2 times a day and retin-A cream at night. In a addition to that I use a face wash that has Benzoyl Peroxide morning & night per my docotor recommendation.

Pros:

Makes a big difference quickly. Really helps with deep cyct like pimples.

Cons:

Bleaches out fabric.

I have been using the Duac in the morning daily and Tazorac at night for about a year now. If I skip a night or two I notice my skin will get really sensitive the next time I use both again and dry it out some. I was told by my derm to always used a gentle cleaser, I use Neutogena daily cleanser(not medicated for acne) and if my skin dries out I use CeraVe. It is very gentle and I only use it on the dry patches. I am 36 and most other products are geared towards teens and have left the pimples and dried out my skin really bad. This stuff is the best! My skin has never looked this great! My cost is $35 but even though it says it expires in 2 months I use the same tube for about 9 months. Just a touch goes a very long way.

Pros:

Good consistency, seemed to slow acne and reduce size of pimples overnight

Cons:

Bleaches everything--pillowcases, clothes, towels

I personally found it didn't work very well for me, even after continuous nightly use for a few months. While it helped keep my acne somewhat controlled, it never really got me clear. And I have pretty severe acne.

Pros:

works well with consistant use :) try using it with oral antibiotics could help even more

Cons:

strains pillow cases, can leave the skin dry

basically this stuff will get you results :) I hardly ever get the spots i used to get before i.e pustules I wouldnt use it with any other topical lotion and wouldnt bother with face washes u can get...your skin could get irritated. As an all round acne treatment...i wouldn't expect any more

Pros:

Im finding this cream/gel really effective for papules and pustles because it flattens them overnight. Ive only recently started to use this and my skin has started to darken due to the BP but my pimples are vanishing really quickly.

Cons:

Its super expensive!!! Normal Benoykl Peroxide 5% costs about $13 dollars,and this costed me $35 AUS dollars!!! ARGHGHHGH

No side effects, no peeling whatsoever, made my face a little bit oily actually but a toner should un-oil it :) It does the trick for me, and i'll continue to use this. Unlike other lucky people it didnt help my scar (i onnly have one major one and its quite deep!) Its a great product but just a little bit expensive.

Pros:

clears up all the acne within a month, small pimples come back but they leave within 2 days. its the only thing has actually owrked for me

Cons:

the acne will come back after 2 months of going without the product. so continual use is a must.

depending on the person it works, for me it is worth the money, only needs to be applied twice a day and that is about it, wash face before going to sleep before applying benzaclin at night.In the end this product works very well.

Pros:

strong medication that seems to clear pimples up pretty fast. i have been on duac for 1 week now and i am starting to see a difference. put it all over infected areas every night before bed.

Cons:

the first few days of using, my face was red in the morning as if i had a sunburn. (not bad at all, actually didn't look bad). and im still getting little pimples here and there, but not as bad-think it is still too early to tell how well its working

so far i am seeing a difference in my overall complexion. my skin has more of a glow and color to it. however i am still getting little pimples here and there but again, have only been on it for a week. it is definitely strong and works fast on my pimples.. if i feel one coming i will apply extra to that area and it seems to clear it up a lot faster.
