Pros:

Works really fast.
Doesn't dry out my skin the way Retin-A-Micro did.
I only use it once a day, before bed.

Cons:

None so far.

I used Retin-A-Micro for about three months, and it improved my skin a little, but made it red and almost constantly peeling, which did not go away until two weeks after I stopped using it. So, my dermatologist put me on Duac, and I used it for 2 months, until it expired. It made my skin nearly perfect. I stopped using it when the summer began, because I get a lot of sun and was worried Duac would make my skin too sensitive to the sun. For about a month, my skin stayed really good. Not as good as it was while I was on the Duac, but much better than before. Unfortunately, recently I started breaking out more, so I got another tube today and am looking forward to getting my clear skin back. For the first time in about five years, my skin isn't a big cause of stress for me! Also, it takes me much shorter to get ready in the morning since I don't have to worry about covering my acne!

Pros:

clears face pretty well

Cons:

drys out skin. not a large amount in bottle. only works on mild acne. dont stay out in sun to long (will burn)

if you dont have bad acne go for it! it has helped me. put it on before you go t bed & in the morning put loton on face because if you let your face become too dry it starts to hurt! if using product dont stay in sun light because you will get burnt

Pros:

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

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.
