im 18 and my acne started when i was 15 i have an amazing diet eating 5 fruit and veg, atay away from dairy, drink about 2.5Lt water a day im also very active and i exercise alot. about a year and a half ago i went to the doc after trying evetything that i could buy from shops he gave me this and to start off it dried my skin out and made my cheeks a bit red but it worked amazing for 8 months then when i started college again i started to slowly bfreak out again and around my birthday it seemed to stop working completly. i went hack to the doc and he gave me antibiotics and ive been on them for about 2months and a week they havent really worked. i have no idea what to do next as as my forehead is staring to break out and i never get them there or my nose chin or temples just my cheeks. nexts step is accutane and the doc told me i have no chance to get on that because my skin isnt that bad but im so depressed from my acne coming back i cant even go out and meet my pregnant girlfriend want to get clear for the birth in novemeber but i see no hope. someone HELP!!!

Pros:

apparently supposed to clear up moderate acne

Cons:

dry and itchy face
expensive if insurance doesn't cover it
takes awhile to work

i just got this prescribed to me by my doctor and i've been reading lots of reviews about it and a lot of people are very pleased with their results. i have pretty bad acne on both my cheeks, chin and forehead. first week of using it, my acne seems to be getting smaller, but not clearing up. i'm hoping to see the results that everyone's been getting with this in about a month or 2. i've been getting a lot of discomfort from the way my face gets really dry after applying the gel. but a good moisturizer helps. so good luck to everyone who uses this!

Pros:

Works fast, easy routine!

Cons:

Dries my skin out, especially in winter.

Been using this for a year, and it really works for me! The only time I have problems is when I forget to put it on at night, which is completely my fault. Works millions of times better than anything I've used, which includes ProActiv, and is such an easy routine. Put it on in the am after a gentle face wash, put it on in the evening after a gentle face wash. I have tried a few different moisturizers for the dryness, including Arbonne and Clean and Clear. Am going to try Aveeno and Cetaphil now. Now if only it would get rid of my scars at the same time it's keeping the acne at bay it would be a miracle!

Pros:

When I first got the benzclin gel, It worked really really well!!! I have used other products and no other product but this worked well Oh My Godda!!! GO FOR IT GUYS!!!!!! I dont get that much dry skin, and my face does not ever itch!!!!!!

Cons:

This medication expires after a few months, It doesnt work as well after a couple months. I because of it being so close to the expirary date. I dont like that really. I guess I may have to buy a new bottle after a couple months then.

I recommend getting It! But I found a new trick while using this product! Buy a cleanser that is not so heavy with the chemicals, Such as spectro gel!!!! Wash your face with spectro gel really well, and then apply the benzaclin gel and it will work even better!!!! Find a really great moisturizer, and a soft cleanser. Things like clean and clear and neutrogena have oils and chemicals that are really bad for your skin!!!! But Heck yes I recommend Spectro Jel cleanser and Benza clin gel!!! GO FOR IT DUDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

it works

Cons:

can dry skin

finally something that works. all I do is use the cleanser that it comes with at night and then apply the duac. the next morning I don't wash my face but I rinse it and make sure I get off all the excess duac. after using clindamycin for a while with good results, I got a couple more spots and then decided to try different things. I quit clindamycin about a year ago and since then haven't had as good of skin, until I found duac.
