Pros:

I get the really bad cystic pimples that take forever to go away. They usually take about a week and a half to come to a head. This dried them up within a day.

Cons:

I hate that a tube only lasts 2 months before it expires. I refrigerate it to help it last longer---and that's a pain too. $50 with my co-pay, so that's $25 a month. Kind of expensive when combined with everything else I have to use for my face...

I can deal with the price and any other cons because so far this is the only thing that has worked for me. (I use it with Tazorac....Duac in the morning, Tazorac at night.) It's nice not to have to deal with Proactive or Murad et. My derm. recommended a basic cleanser and moisturizer. Said I really shouldn't be adding any more benzol or salacylic acid to the regimin with these 2 prescriptions.

Pros:

Clears up pimples quick

Cons:

Leaves skin swollen,red, dry, puffy, hot, itchy

I had used this product for maybe two years after other products had been too strong and destructive towards my skin. In the past few months-I have been getting some sort of allergic reaction from it as my eyes have swollen shut and the skins on my face becomes extremely red, puffy, itchy, hot. While it DOES clear up acne, the side-effects are not worth the pain

Pros:

Works fast, bleaches blackheads, if you have an open pore from a pimple it will seep in and dry out the pimple fast.

Cons:

Works only temporarily- 6 mths to a year, then your skin adjusts. Bleaches towels and clothes like pro-active and clear-skin regime. Expensive.

I've used this for a year,worked alone for 9 months, then alternating evenings with Rx Differin. Together these worked for awhile, and now my skin returned to the same, no worse, no better. I never had burns or major stinging, and no redness. Do not over-apply, this will waste product, and results will not change. I read all the postings on this before I took it, this info should help you. I keep Benzaclin in my make-up bag for emergencies- It does clear up the juicers. (Eww, lol.) I'm only taking Differin because my pharmacist suggested it, but I am switching to baking soda after reading the postings on it.

Pros:

My face has cleared up significantly since using this process and the one new pimple that I did get went down quickly.

Cons:

My face is definitely itchy & extremely dry;made the mistake of using a moisturizer w/salicylic acid & it BURNED my face more than it normallly does; face looks like it's sunburnt and red & feels stiff like leather.

I'm not sure what to make of this product yet because it's only been one week since I've used it, but so far the acne seems to be clearing up (though I've been in some physical discomfort as a result...i.e. burning sensation on my face as well as an itchy face). However, my face still has these darkened spots which I believe are acne scars, but overall, minus the redness and flakiness, my face has looked better. Hopefully, it will only get better from here.

Pros:

Pimples less severe if any at all
Reduces redness and scarring

Cons:

Gets a little worse before it gets better...much better though!

I'm 39 and still get quite severe acne around my chin. It's hideous and completely embarassing. I'd been using Differin before the birth of my second child, but had to stop as you can't use it whilst pregnant. Not that I needed it though as my skin totally cleared up whilst I was pregnant...must have settled all those hormones!! I only use Differin at night in combination with Eyracne and it works!! The only other treatment I found that worked other than Differn was the pill and as I don't want to take hormones just to control my acne, this has been the perfect solution. I find my acne is very hormonal and this this is a fabulous solution.

Pros:

It began to clear my skin pretty quickly and didnt cause dry skin.

Cons:

I cant really think of any cons.

I use other products as well such as the apricot scrub to remove any sort of dead skin and I also use Neutrogena face wash as well. I wash my face one a day with the apricot scrub and I wash my face three times a week with my Neutrogena face wash. I also use Clearasil wipes and makeup remover cloths as well. I use a wide variety of products and my skin is finally clear. Duac definatly did it. I had been using all of the combined products above and I didnt have the clear skin that I wanted. Now I do. :)

Pros:

I've been using it for 10 weeks and it works really well. I get one pimple a months now and it's never a bad one, always small and goes away quickly.

Cons:

At first it dries out your face and makes it red but your face gets to to it and the dryness and redness goes away. Now when I put it on it feels like a moisturizer.

It works!!!

Pros:

It works.

Cons:

It stops working after months of use and leaves you with worse skin than before you used it.

I wouldn't recommend this product. Only if you want to end up worse off months later.
