Pros:

got rid of some pimples

Cons:

It dried my face out and didn't get rid of the pimples on my forehead, and it took about 4 to 6 weeks to start working. After using it for a year, my skin still isn't clear.

not a good product.

Pros:

It cleared my face pretty well when I was using it

Cons:

When I stopped using it, I broke out worse than I ever have!!; drying--even areas it was not applied and made my fine lines worse; bleached out pillowcases, towels, washcloths; burned eyes when i would sweat

Not worth it! I quit using this product a couple of months ago and I am still more broken out than I EVER was before I used it (I am 39 and have been dealing with acne since my mid 20's)!!

Pros:

cleared up my skin sort of, only temporarily though.

Cons:

it was really drying and made my skin really super duper sensitive.

it was overall a really baad desicion to use it. i was the type of prson who could scrub their face for fifteen minutes with exfoliating products and experience no irritation, but after using benzaclin even "gentle" cleansers turn me bright red. now it's a lot better, i still get red when i scrub too hard, but i'm hopeful that i will return to normalcy in a month or two. best not to use it in my opinion.

Pros:

It doesnt dry out your skin and doesnt leave white residue or inflamation.

Cons:

I still got oily in my tspots

I have been struggling with my acne for years. I don't even have terrible acne either. I have the type that pretty much stays under your skin for a week before coming up and is painful though. I always get zits in the same spot over and over. I had been using benzclin+minocyclin for 3 years and while my acne was better.. I never had clear skin, ever. I saw a new Doc who is supposed to be great. He put me on Duac plus ppx treatments(costly). I have been using this for 10 weeks. I am going in in the morning bc my acne is worse than ever. I have huge craters on my cheeks and chin. I washed lightly in the morning and evening and then applied the Duac am and pm. He has refused to let me even try accutane. Im 28 and have been going through this for 8 years to no avail.

Pros:

it cleared up my minor acne.

Cons:

major dryness occurs.
i've become immune to it.
and although it cleared up my ance...it took forever to do so.

It dries your face up like crazy! Itching occurs all the time even with a moisturize on. I don't think its a very good product.

Duac didn't work for me. My doctor switched me to Benzaclin. Benzaclin cleared me up in about 2/3 weeks and is available in a pump. The pump gives me the exact dose I need to put on without fussing w/ it. The expiration is almost twice as long as duac which will save me money when I need refills.

Pros:

Reduce blackheads in just 1-2 days.
Makes skin less oily

Cons:

Very irritating on the skin
Lots of redness
It's aging the skin

Duac is very effective, but the Bensoyl Peroxide causes irritation and redness. BP also ages the skin. I have used BP occasionally in different medications, with spider vessels(small red dots) and decreased texture as permanent side effects. I will never use any medication with BP again.
