Pros:

Got rid of all cystic pimples, and made skin extremely clear.

Cons:

It really does go down in effectiveness after the medicine is 3 months old, so I have to throw some out before it's all gone.

I got a little dry, so I started using a really mild salicylic acid face wash (which would never have worked to treat my zits before). Mixed with a good moisturizer, this stuff is great! I've been using it for about 2 years now, and the only times I've gotten zits has been when I run out!

Pros:

cleared ALL of my acne within a span of 3 days.

Cons:

kinda dries out my skin... but thats to be expected while using these types of products. I'm thankful it comes with the cleansing lotion!

Love it, use it, strongly recommend it!

Pros:

It really works, it gets rid of the zits FAST. About 24 hours after I applied it to my acne, it majorly reduced in size. This stuff actually works! I love it! It is worth the cost!

Cons:

Can be a little dry and/ or flaky, but thats how it works. (I hope people know you are not supposed to rub this all over your face, only apply to acne)

After visiting my doctor, she told me a product that would work best for my skin is BenzaClin. After my mom picked it up at Walgreens, I put it on. When I woke up in the morning my ance was half gone! I was so happy! The little white flakes pretty much went away after I knew how to properly use it. I love this stuff, and it works wonders for my acne. People have said that it makes your eyes swollen, well people, doesn't it say (DO NOT APPLY NEAR EYES) on the directions? And I have also heard that it left white film and flakes all over their face. Well don'tbe stupid, and read the directions. You are not supposed to rub it all over your face, like an acne wash. Only apply to existing acne! And don't use too much either.

Pros:

works extremely fast,

Cons:

dries out skin

Works really well! as for the drying out part I apply clean & clear morning glow moisturizer that can be used at nighttime also. If you choose a different moisturizer make sure it is oil-free! For example the worst moisturizer to use is Ponds so try not to use it :)

Pros:

This stuff really works. My face was so red and filled with zits. When I tried Duac it was amazing. Half my blemishes were gone in just one use.

Cons:

When you first try it be careful for the results because after the use the next day it'll look worse. I stop using it and then after that day my skin was soft and clear.

This is a great product. I highly recommended this.

My dermatologists give me a professional sample of Duac Topical gel and its working very good for me! i still have some dark spots but i get rid of the big pimples.

Pros:

The first 2 days my face started clearing up nicely (it was a trick!)

Cons:

After the first two days my face broke out really bad and its now been 2 and 1/2 months and my face is worse than when I first started using this crappy stuff!

Others have had good things to say about it so maybe try it but if you're like me and have combo skin that breaks out in cysts that take FOREVER to clear then DO NOT get this!

Pros:

Actually Works (yes, this is actually the only pro)

Cons:

Takes HUGE adjustment, dries it out.

This first week or so of using this, it will sting. Badly. Like, REALLY badly. Almost unbearable. I actually had to cringe and scream because it stung so much. After a week, it doesn't sting and more, however, it still dries out your skin. Works great though. After about 2 weeks there was very noticeable improvement. It actaully got to the clearest it's been in 3 years (I've had acne for four years). It may dry out your skin, but you know what? It works. It went from severe down to a low of moderate-light. (I've run out and have yet to get another one and I'm breaking out again. D:)

Pros:

Very fast remedy for all types of acne (Whiteheads, Cystic and Blackheads) when used in conjunction with an exfolliant or gentle facewash.

Cons:

Can cause a slight drying of the skin. However, should be used in a patch test first, very strong cream. Some people have experienced allergic reactions to the Benzoyl Peroxide.

Best treatment I have ever had. No question. I had very severe cystic acne, even to the point of almost closing my left eye. I felt like the elephant man. I had no self confidence whatsoever, and i felt a total loser. I was scared to look anybody in the face for what they might say. I used EVERYTHING. Clearasil, Oxy, Freederm, and a course of Flucloxacillin. Nothing worked. The GP prescribed this to me and as always i was sceptical. After applying at night after a rigorous face wash (anything with microbeads is your best bet) i felt a very slight burning sensation, but nothing uncomfortable. I woke up the next day to find a miracle. The red spots were dissapearing after one night! The huge cystic boil i had closing my eye was brought to a head using the cream and eventually got rid of it completely with only very minimal scarring. Believe me guys, this cream will change your life. After use over a month and a half I had no spots! Duac cream will save your life. It save
