Pros:

It really helped to clear my acne. My dermatologist had me use Duac in the morning, and Differin at night. The Duac I was prescribed includes a gentle cleanser.

Cons:

Duac made my face red and dry. After a few days my face was back to normal.

Great acne product!! If your acne is moderate or severe ask a dermatologist for Duac it works miracles.

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

This product stung when I applied it, it completely dried out my face to the point of noticeable peeling, it actually stained my face red, and did not help my acne at all! It took 2 weeks or so after I stopped using it for my face's color to be back.

I have never had an acne medication that actually works and keeps working for me, until I started using Evoclin (which I use now). The duac completely dried my face, made my face peel a lot, stung my face, stained my face red (my face would be firetruck red even if I didn't apply the duac yet. From the side you could see where my pale neck met my red face. Yuck!). I don't think it even helped my acne, but I really couldn't tell because my face was so red. In conclusion, choose something else. It was literally painful and emotionally painful :/ P.S.-- If your derm. tries to tell you "The redness will go away after a few weeks! Trust me!" don't trust her/him. That's what mine said and a month later my face was still a giant cherry! Good luck! =D

Pros:

Works EXTREMELY fast, literally over-nite!
insurance covers 100%. Not only clears up acne, prevents future break outs and reduces blemishes. It's a miracle gel!

Cons:

not many at all... just a little dry and flaky that can be fixed with moisturizer.

for 9 yrs i've suffered from minor-moderate acne now 27 yrs old @ times the painful, bloody ones. tried every oral antibiotic and cream available thru insurance & out of pocket with no success. tried every home remedy i could get ahold of.. still no luck. my cousin had this medication in which he didn't need, tried it ONCE and seen results... had it since and it works miracles. very pleased to have found this. side note: i did stop using it for approx 3 months and got another bad break out, just restarted 3 days ago.

Pros:

actually does clear skin

Cons:

drying, burning, peeling. I could not use this for more than about 3 days.

So this product does do what it says it will- it did actually clear my skin. But I was too preoccupied with how dry and peely my face was to even notice. I read in earlier reviews that it would burn the first couple of times you used it so I thought I would stick it out for a while but I just could not stand it. Everytime I would put it on, it would burn so badly. Even after I used Aveeno Ultra Calming foaming wash it burned! It was so bad I washed it right off. I'm done using it for now and I'm waiting for my skin to return to normal- aka not dry and peeling. I think I'm just going to use this as a once in a while treatment because it's just too harsh to use everyday, even just at night.

Pros:

It completely works within 2 weeks, saw improvement in days. Perfectly clear

Cons:

During Hot months it should be kept cool. I belive it shouldn't get over 65-70 degrees.
Also, I'm 28 and shouldn't be using benzoyl because it prematurely ages skin.

Clear Skin. I love how it works
