Pros:

It works pretty well, made my skin smoother and reduced my outbreaks.

Cons:

Made my skin very dry and made me very sensitive to the sun.

It is a little more than I like to pay every month but it does the job.

Pros:

Reduces acne significantly, controls oil, tightens skin.

Cons:

leaves a white film on skin, expires in 3 months time, bleaches fabric

Works well, I was supposed to use with Retin A but i stopped using Retin A because it irritated my skin too much. Now I am only using Benzaclin in mornings and some nights..works well. Be careful when around hairline and eyebrows though because it bleaches them as well as fabrics!

Pros:

Keeps my oily skin under control. Clears up Acne fast and effective.

Cons:

The effectiveness does wear off after 3 months and a new batch has to be bought

This product does work better than any I have ever tried. I have used almost everything from pro-activ to differin to murad, glytone, persa gel, you name it I've tried it and this works without any nasty side effects.

Pros:

Reduces swelling of cystic acne overnight. Two days after using it, my trouble spots are almost gone. Got samples from my derm, so it's free.

Cons:

Causes some flaking sometimes, but that's why I just use it on my pimples and at NIGHT.

I'm using Cetaphil + Zoderm wash twice daily, which balances pH and clears up topical breakouts. Duac at night treats the cystic stuff that pops up. NuOx in the morning. With this routine, my skin has done a complete 180. For a whole year I've had this problem, and now all these products have helped me get my self esteem back. I'm no longer worried about scarring, people looking at my skin instead of ME. What ever it will cost after the samples run out, it's worth it.

Pros:

This is the only product that has ever cleared up my acne completely.

Cons:

I experienced rednress and drying for the first one-two weeks of use.

This is a great product! I highly recommend it.
April 30, 2009

Pros:

Clears up large pimples & small bumps.
Decreases redness.
Works quickly.

Cons:

Slightly dries out skin.

This is a great product! By the third day i noticed serious results. The little red bumps on my forehead that have plagued me for over a year finally began to disappear. Now, they are almost completely gone! This product worked even better on a large pimple that had appeared. It was reduced overnight and gone within the day. I have never used a product like this and I strongly recommend it! Just beware of the flakes you will get if you apply too much - just put on a good moisturizer and you will be fine.

Pros:

cleared up acne in 3 weeks, gets rid of zits fast, a lot of times over night

Cons:

i still get a few breakouts along the chin area, made my face dry for the first few days

i had severe acne(still havent gotten rid of my scars yet) and i just couldn't find anything to clear it up. I switched products every week sometimes every day. i didn't realize that this was making my acne worse. but now that i have thrown all my 50 other products out and stick to just this, a dove bar, and nuetrogena moisturizer i have basically cleared alll my acne. Make sure you use a moisturizer with sunscreen or else your face will get burnt. My one advice other than to DEFINETLY BUY THIS IS TO STICK TO IT. before switching try this for atleast a month. oh and also don't get discouraged when your face is extremly dry the first few days just use a good moisturizer and the dryness will be gone in like a week.

Pros:

It works and works fairly quickly.

Cons:

Dry skin, Peeling, Redness, Bleaches towels and clothing. Eventual resistance?

I used Benzaclin for over 5 years. It worked like magic until this last year. Initially, I went from moderate to severe inflammatory acne to pretty much flawless skin. Over the years, I moved a few times and tried to go off the medication each time I moved, but I would start breaking out and once I restarted Benzaclin my acne went away. Unfortunately, over the last year it has been less effective and I would get large inflammatory scarring lesions so I have switched medications. When I was used Benzaclin I was also using Cetaphil cleanser and Cetaphil daily facial mositurizer.
