Pros:

free as i get it on the NHS, maybe helps get rid of inflamed acne slightly quicker

Cons:

didn't really improve my acne at all, really dries out skin

got this when my acne was pretty bad, and my GP promised great things, but all in all the cream failed to deliver. used it consistently for 2 months, but everytime it got rid of a spot, a new big one was ready to replace it. as a spot treatment guess it was okay, but didn't do anything in the long run

Pros:

Works amazingly...I had a patch of acne i just couldn't get rid of. I got fed up and decided to get perscription. I was expected something like Differin, but Im glad i got Benzaclin. =D

Cons:

Bleaches. Be careful.
SO. EXPENSIVE....i don't know maybe its my insurance..i had to pay 150$!!! IM ONLY 15 YEARS OLD! I DONT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY EVERY 3 MONTHS.

Works amazing. Totally worth it...TRY

Pros:

It works very well at eliminating acne. It also doesn't irritate my skin as bad as other products.

Cons:

It is fairly expensive, but the jar lasts me over two months.

It is the only thing I have found that works for my mild to moderate acne without irritating my face. I use Cetaphyl face wash for normal/oily skin and it works well in combination with the Benzaclin.

Pros:

works very well

Cons:

give it some time, you will see amazing results
a bit drying (see below)

trust me it works use only a small amount, and slowly increase - that way you can make sure there isn't much peeling, redness, etc.

Pros:

Is inexpensive considering how much you have to use and the results that can be obtained. My skin was able to adapt to the dryness side effect although the first month or so was somewhat dry and flaky. It made my skin appear less red so not a biggy.

Cons:

Works great for minor zits but it takes some time for the Benzaclin to get rid of the deep cysts. The good thing is that this medication keeps the cysts from growing large or breaking out but is slow to totally rid of the cysts.

Product works great for me! I had severe acne and I was able to see great results in the first week. For a time I had to get off Benzaclin because of insurance issues. During that period my acne grew pretty bad ranging from minor zits to the deep cysts and within just a few days all the minor zits had literally disappeared. My only regret is having the redness and scaring from severe acne but that is a different issue.

Pros:

I've been using it for a year now. Helped lessen my acne problem very fast, although till now it hasn't fully cleared it. I only use it at night.All my large breakouts look ALOT smaller and better over night.

Cons:

Looks bad after drying, kinda flaky. That's why i only use it at night.

I'd use it people, i tried Proactiv and all those products but none is as fast and effective as Benzaclin. But i find that as i use it, i have to use more and more for it to work.

Pros:

Works very quickly. I have been using it for 2 months and my face is completely clear. If I have an emerging zit coming on, this stuff gets rid of it overnight. I'm in love with this stuff. I'm 22 and have on and off skin problems, and this helps.

Cons:

The only con is that it can be drying, like other reviewers have said. The thing is, if you follow it with lotion, you'll be fine. This is a strong product, so the people experiencing bad dryness are probably overusing. You don't need that much!

With my insurance this med is about $10 and it works SO well on my skin, so I would recommend it without a doubt. Just keep in mind that you DO NOT NEED TO USE THAT MUCH OF THIS PRODUCT! Two pumps should cover your entire face! If you use more than that, you will NOT see faster, better results. You will just experience very dry skin. I use Neutrogena Healthy Skin lotion with SPF 15 and 3 drops of jojoba oil morning and night, and my skin is totally clear and not dry at all. Get this medicine and buy some moisturizer, and you'll be pleasantly surprised at how good your skin looks in a few weeks.

Pros:

Cleared up my skin a lot. I had moderate acne and now I have clear skin and I use benza clin whenever I have a problem zit.

Cons:

It reacted badly when i accidentally put on moisturiser on the same spot i previously had benza clin on, the next day I had a rash on my face, but it cleared up by the end of the day.

It worked great for me, I would reccomend it :D
