Pros:

Works very fast, bleaches blackheads after a couple days, helps with mild rosacea.

Cons:

Dries the skin aggravating Rosacea at first. Burning sensation.

I've been on Accutane 3x and still had skin imperfections my doctor felt wasn't serious enough for a 4th course of Accutane treatment. I've only been on Benzaclin for 4 days and am already seeing impressive results. Breakouts have stopped since my 3rd course of Accutane but Rosacea starting coming back with a vengeance along with blackheads galore on my nose. It burns like hell at first but goes away. I would recommend using it only once daily preferably at night until you're used to it so your skin isn't glowing red by morning. Make sure to moisturize. DO NOT get this stuff near your eyes! Wash your hands thoroughly after applying in case you rub your eyes while in bed. I woke up the next morning with my right eye nearly swollen shut.

Pros:

It cleared up ALL my acne and left no scars.

Cons:

YOU BECOME IMMUNE TO IT!!!!!!!! and the acne will return!!

It does get rid of the acne, within 4 months i was completely clear.........HOWEVER i became immune to it after about 7 months and the acne came back. The acne isnt as bad as it was before starting the treatment but by no means is my face clear! This is not a permanant cure!!!

Pros:

Seems to help stop those deep ones from becoming an F*ing monster that ruins my life for 2 weeks.

Cons:

Flaky Skin, some redness

Helps keep those deep that the retin-a or ziania wouldn't keep from exploding during the day into something that I need to hide from for weeks. Redness and flakeyness around the area for a few days but that painful bump turns into a tiny whitehead a few days after starting it's bacterial coup d'etat in my cheek or chin...

Pros:

Works well at the beginning. I had this, and Retin -A prescription, and this worked much better for me

Cons:

I'm pale, so makes me very photosensitive.... Also, I thought it was my imagination but see other people writing it here, that the effectiveness seems to wear off, like you get immune to it.

It's a good quick fix for mild to medium acne. I don't know that it truly 'cures' your acne..it just allows you to treat it whenever it come back

Pros:

not a scent, doesn't sting, but it makes acne less aggitated!

Cons:

doesn't clear acne fully!

It just dries up your spots to make them look less red and less furious, but doesn't get rid of it! though, I have just begun!
August 28, 2007

Pros:

easy to dispense, doesn't smell like anything, not a greasy feeling, works fast

Cons:

your skin seems to become immune to it.

The doctor prescribed this for my brother but it never worke on him so i started using it. It seemed to start clearing the first night i used it. I used more than the peasized amount because i thougfht that was stupid. I didn't put i just on my pimples i spread it all over my problem areas. (forehead, chin, and nose) Sometimes i feel like my skin is becoming immune to it, so i'll rotate and use another cheaper 5% benzoyl peroxide zit cream. Overall i'm pretty pleased. It may just not work for some people. I have very mild acne (some redness, bumps, and the occasional breakout)

Pros:

Works and fast.
Gets rid of moderate mild acne like a charm

Cons:

Drying and flaking, but no burning or redness.

This stuff is amazing. In one week mym doerate forehead a cne already had started ot really noticeably diminish. Works great. Although it is flaknig and drying, youll need a good mousturizer. And whenyou get rid of the spots and you have 'scales" (its not THAT bad) make sure to exfoliate it and get the gunk out and mousturize mousturize. But, tihs stuff WORKS.
