Pros:

Fast acting

Cons:

Dry itchy skin

I have used this for 1 week, let me tell you my severe acne has dried up, the new ones coming up are dead, yes dead the next day. I recommend getting Microdermabrassion while on this medication. It tones and reduces the appearance of the red or brown post acne marks. I had my first one last week and going back every two weeks for a 2 month period. Good Luck.

Pros:

It started to clear my skin up quite a bit within 3 weeks and slowed down oil production initially. Brought a lot of spots to the surface.

Cons:

It made my skin look worse before it got any better. But it seemed to stop working after about the seventh week, i've not seen any improvement since then.

Decent product but maybe my acne needs something a bit stronger to shift it.

Pros:

It dries out my pimples very quickly. Within the first couple days of use. I have only been using it for a little over a week.

Cons:

Benzaclin does dry out my skin and make it itchy. It's not so bad if you use an oil free moisturizer.

I found that the white heads that had been invading my chin were brought to the surface and turned into pimples. I think that maybe this is part of the healing process, because eventually those white heads would have turned into pimples anyway. Hopefully the pimples will dry out...even though I am left with that annoying red spotted scar afterwards, at least it isn't as bad as having pimples covering my whole chin.

I think this product is very good, i have been using for about one month and it has been doing exactly what it says on the tin. I used to use it along with oral tablets every different kind you can think of. I gave up with the tablets and now just usethis DUac on its own and it is great. I use a 25ml tube every 4 days because i cover a large area generously. But thats ok because i don't pay for this cream. And if i did i would only pay £6.95 about USD$12

Pros:

- It clears acne 99% (Even the deep, large acne) if used for a long time (months)
- Tube lasts a long time (you don't need much)
Note: I am also taking birth control pills
- I am still using it for my shoulders/back/neck. For some reason is works VERY well anywhere but my face.

Cons:

- It took 3+ months to see major results
- Dries skin on face so badly that I can't use on my face at all. It cleared my face from acne but now my sensitive skin is paying the price through dryness/flaking/oil and redness. I would NOT use on your face.

Use it to very effectively clear up moderate to severe acne on shoulders/back/neck. Just be prepared to wait a few months for results! I would not recommend this for use on your face.

Pros:

Definitely helped decrease my overall number of active acne spots

Cons:

Brought a lot of my spots to a "head", dried out my skin (expected this with the BP), and didn't completely clear my acne is just reduced the amount of it.

Works pretty good, but wasn't my miracle product. I alternating using it every other night, with retin A and lotioning my skin to death to keep it from flaking up on me.

Pros:

Does work, no doubt about that
Best for mild acne
Clears big bumps

Cons:

Does not get you completly clear
Does not get rid of mature acne,
Does not get rid of whiteheads

By far something that has worked well for my acne, after skinoren, I have used everything you name it I review it, better then isotretion. Been a sufferer from 6 years
