Pros:

Clears up acne at a pretty fast rate. Helps with acne marks.

Cons:

Dries your skin too much.

It is a very good product, but dont put it everywhere. Since it is so strong you only put it on the problem areas(ur acne) not your whole face. If you put too much on it will be bad because it will just cause you to break out and it will not help you at all.

Pros:

It works immediately, believe me.. you'll feel it. Depending on your acne, it make take few days to be notice but I definitely saw difference within a day or two, hard to believe.. i know. No need to apply too much, little bottle is more than enough

Cons:

It will burn, and create much discomfort. But read below, as I'll tell you what worked for me and what stopped the redness/dry skin/itching

Just like you all, I tried all the products and had the same symptoms. I dont have severe acne, but i get some occasionaly because of my oily skin, and because of hockey 4 times a week. For some reason though, my derm prescribed Tazorac (for night) and Benzaclin(for morning). I tried that regimen, what a mistake ! It was just too much, my face was bright red, burning and then the worst part, flaky skin. After few trials and changing the regimen, this is what I came up with that I believe works the best. Just like everything else in life, in moderation, the key is time and patience. 1) Wash face (Cetaphil cleaner-morning, SkinMD Oilyskin-night) 2)Moisturizer-Cetaphil (facial / regular) Wait at least 15 mins/ lotion is absorbed 3)benzalin -night . I would alternate tazorac every 3 days, so twice a week (W & SA) Everyother day would be benzaclin/ I apply the medicine at night because sun/wind can affect your skin and react to the med ,.. good luck !
