Pros:

haven't found any pros yet.

Cons:

dries out skin, made my skin peel.

i have been using this for almost 3 months and it hasn't helped my skin at all. if anything it's making it worse. i thought it was working at first by bringing all the acne out..but a couple months later it's still bringing all the acne out and it's not going away! i think i'm going to give up on it and try something else.

Pros:

Works great, did not bother my skin at all. All my chin lesions dissapeared. Had clear skin for months.

Cons:

Works 100% for a few months then stops working and then you're back to square one.

Worth it for the few months of clear skin you will enjoy, but is very disappointing when it stops working.

Pros:

works fairly fast. noticed difference within first 3 days. and if ya got good insurance pretty affordable. (pretty good on babysitter's pay)

Cons:

dry skin. but doc gave a moisturizer so its ok really.

ive tried so many things. creams, washes, medicated pads, scrubs, masks, even a few other prescribed products(differen and clindagel), and organic pills. its been a real hassle. and after only two weeks of benzaclin ive been gettin compliments the doc also gave me some pills to help reduce inflammation which helped even more. it really does work for me, and i couldnt be happier, i just hope it keeps workin :)

Pros:

Works FAST.

Cons:

dries out skin terribly. Expensive

Ive had acne since the end of my Junior year and high school, and I am currently in my first year in college. I started using proactiv, which kind of works..but not for anything more than light acne..My acne got REALLY bad over the summer this year, there was no clear area on my face. I went to the doctor who prescribed me Retin-A. I used it for 2 months, and my face got a lot worse. I decided to go see another doctor, who prescribed me Benzaclin and Doxycycline, and I have been on it for 2 days, and it has significantly, SIGNIFICANTLY reduced my acne. Its a miracle product i hope it continues to work like this. I highly reccommend it.

Pros:

Immediately cleared me up. I have moderate/severe adult acne, and in just 2 days I was clearing up and seeing major differences

Cons:

Very expensive, dry skin, I just used it in my breakout zone alone and it didn't dry me out too bad.

Totally necessary expense and the results are great. I feel like a respectable adult again.

Pros:

Well i just began using it and it seems to decrease the size of acne and eventually disappear. I still do not know how long it takes tough to get rid of a cyst. How long will it take for my skin to get clearer than my butt cheeks?

Cons:

DRYNESS

GET IT, MIGHT AS WELL TRY SOMETHING

Pros:

This product immeadiatly reduces redness of pimples and zits. I notice a huge difference overnight.

Cons:

If you pop the zit then put the cream on it, it leaves you a huge red scar that lasts for days.

I recommend you use benzaclin as long as you can give it time to work so you dont end up popping your pimples everyday and go to school looking like rudolph.

Pros:

Cleared up most of the spots, effects can be seen relatively quickly (after about 3 weeks)

Cons:

dries out skin a little but moisturiser helps, still have a few spots

My acne was very stubborn before my doctor put me on duac but it began improving slowly when I started using it. I still have a few spots but there are definitely fewer of them and can be covered up with concealer whenever I go out. I find that it makes the skin around the spots peel a little at first but nothing serious. I apply moisturiser to them after I've washed off the duac and it works fine and doesn't plug the pores. Definitely give this one a go.
