Doesn't work

I have been using this cream for 3 weeks now and not only has it not prevented new pimples from forming, it also has done absolutely NOTHING to the existing or newly formed pimples....

Pros:

Wow- I have only used this product for 3 days and I am extremely pleased with how quickly it has cleared my face. My derm suggested I use Cetaphyl cleanser and Duac for the day, and Epiduo at night. So far so good......

Cons:

My only complaint is the dryness. Must use a really good oil free moisturizer with it.

I am really pleased with how fast this product has worked for me! I hope it keeps working. I also got this for free- a full size tube. My derm gave me a card to give to the pharmacy.

Cons:

Do not use this product. It worked great for 10 months then all of a sudden

Do not use this product. It worked great for 10 months then all of a sudden I ended up getting a burning sensation in my stomach that went down to my intestines on and off during the day. I went for blood tests, urine samples, stool samples and even an endoscope and everything came back good. I was taking a probiotic along with Duac at the same time. I stopped the probiotic and the issue still persisted. My Dermatologist, Doctor and Gastroenterologist all said they doubt it was from the Duac Gel. But I stopped applying it to my skin for a week and I no longer had anymore stomach issues. This thing works like a miracle drug but in the long run the benefits aren't worth it. Please be aware if you get any of these side effects to stop taking it right away.

Pros:

Made a big difference in clearing my acne after the first time I used it.

Cons:

After the second time I used it I became severely allergic with a red rash over my entire face, very dry, itchy and bumpy. It's even under my chin and on my eyelids where I didn't put the gel. It's really horrible and I look freaky.

If you are allergic to any creams or lotions on your face, you will be allergic to this - don't use it. I am allergic to any moisturiser or sunscreen that has perfume in it, and I've had same reaction as that. It's really disappointing because I have a massive (I'm talking really huge) spot on my forehead that has practically vanished after using it only twice so I can see that it would really work, if I could use it. But now I look worse than I did last week because of this hideous rash. I have to use cortisone to get rid of it. It's a bit expensive too, cost $45 although I will get some back on my health insurance (not sure how much).

Pros:

none

Cons:

a lot

please, however bad your acne is, never use this product. its far too aggressive to your skin. even if you don't have sensitive skin don't use it. there are so many other ways to cure your acne. stay away from all those aggressive chemical creams and give your skin the time to heal.
