Pros:

After using accutane a year later I started to break out again. I couldnt bear taking accutane again. DUAC is awesome! You have to be CONSISTENT! Use as directed every night! Best stuff I have ever used!

Cons:

cost it has been repackaged now and comes with a face wash. Ask your pharmacy to give you the old one they still can get it and its a LOT cheaper!

Awesome!

Pros:

I started using Duac gel 3 months ago. My skin looks so much better. I am using it in combination with Metrogel for my rosacea and Nicomide. This combination has really kept my face clear. Ask Dermatologist to give you a rebate form.

Cons:

No problems at this time

I saw results with this combination in 1 month. Make sure you get a rebate form. I get $15 back every month.

Pros:

helped a little with few pimples
evened skin tone

Cons:

didn't clear skin at all
drying
didn't get rid of the larger zits that i most wanted to get rid of

its not worth the try, it didn't work, barely even noticed a change at all. im only glad i got free samples so i didn't have to pay for the big thing.

Benzaclin has worked wonders on my face. In combination with Cetaphil Daily Face Cleanser in the AM and PM along with Benzaclin in the AM and Ziana in the PM, my skin is now flawless. I have suffered with Acne for years. I was ready to throw in the towel when my dermatologist prescribed this regimen for me. The healing process took about six months in all but it was worth the wait. I had really bad cystic acne and picked at the acne alot leaving horrible black scars. After using the Benzaclin face doesnt break out anymore. There is hope out there.

Pros:

Does diminish spots much quicker than other products. Overall keeps blemishes controlled.

Cons:

Blemishes still come back if you have persistant spots. Does not get rid of acne or give you health skin

Duac works well enough, but not great. If you feel a pimple coming on, it helps it go away much faster, but I dont feel its effective as an overall treatment to get rid of acne and make skin healthy. You look washed out and dry, and persistant areas keep recurring.

Pros:

clears up skin somewhat, definately better than some brands and 100% better than just cleanser and moisturizer

Cons:

could be drying for first time users or people with sensitive/dry skin, no problem for me

It does work, but doesn't get rid of acne or acne scars. There are products out there that work much better than this, especially for the price, which can be high for people without insurance. Once I stopped using this, however, my skin got worse than it was before.

Pros:

improvement in my skin, in just about a week!

Cons:

bleached my carpet :(
sometimes drys out skin

its a very good product, and you can see results very quickly with your acne! BUT be careful not to get any on your floors, rugs, or carpets, because it can bleach and stain them permantally! :)

Pros:

Pretty good stuff! Smooth consistency allows even application.

Cons:

Can bleach textiles, but so can any poduct with BP. Doesn't control all of my acne. Initally drying. tier 3 on my insurance= most expensive

I would highly recommend this product. It has the best consistency of any of the antibiotic/BP topical I've tried. I use it in the morning and differin at night. I use oil free moisturizing lotion and foundation almost every day and applying over the duac is smooth and no streaking.
