Pros:

cleared up acne!
even reduced scars.
great for overnight use on big stubborn pimples.

Cons:

stopped working after three years of use..... sigh.

obviously like any other topical medications, it'll take a while to see results. but it IS worth the wait! i had major issues in sixth grade, and i'm not really sure when it was noticable that it started working, but by seventh grade, my face was amazing[; i did have random pimples, but i would get a peasize amount to cover it and the next day it would go away or reduce in size. but sadly, after a couple years, i started breaking out [cause i used clearasil ULTRA, which sucks] and so i tried duac again on it, and it worked for a little bit, but i didn't really help at all. so i'm upset! and my face is gross at the moment. [i'm a freshman now] and so yeah, just try it - it REALLY works.

Pros:

It cleared my face pretty well when I was using it

Cons:

When I stopped using it, I broke out worse than I ever have!!; drying--even areas it was not applied and made my fine lines worse; bleached out pillowcases, towels, washcloths; burned eyes when i would sweat

Not worth it! I quit using this product a couple of months ago and I am still more broken out than I EVER was before I used it (I am 39 and have been dealing with acne since my mid 20's)!!

Pros:

cleared up my skin and is keeping my skin almost fully clear

Cons:

price w/o insurance, drys skin and bleaches towels

buy it if you don't have to worry about its high cost I've tried a lot of acne medications and this has worked the best.

Pros:

It works!
It dries very quickly and is easy to use

Cons:

none so far!!

This stuff works! It does all of the work for me. It's paired with other acne perscriptions but it has obviously helped to dry out my acne. I would recomend using a good oil-free moisturizer though!!! m/ ( >.< ) m/

Pros:

It makes the larger zits (like cysts) shrink overnight and the smaller ones vanish. I am still in awe.

Cons:

Dryness like others have said, but it's getting better. Other than dryness there are no problems for ME to use it to get rid of these zits!

Use it-it works! I love it because I am wearing less makeup and my self esteem is much better. I had zits in HS, but I am 30 now and had no idea where this adult acne came from, so I used it and BAM-it's great! I thought I would have "to grow out of it" like people were telling me, but that was not an acceptable answer for me! I'm the type of person that wants something to happen overnight and this pretty much did the trick. I was completely broken out on my chin and forehead on a Thursday and on the Monday after my face was 90% cleared. I am SO happy!

Pros:

Worksgreat,I am 32and this is the only thing that has every cleared up my skin and has kept it that way for over a year.

Cons:

Pretty expensive and the insurance hassles you after a while as to why you need to use it for an extended period of time.

It's worth it! $186 w/o insurance and $20 w/insurance.

Pros:

Works really fast...my flare ups were practically gone overnight!

Cons:

Bleaches your towels so be sure to wash your hands really well after applying. I only sleep on white pillow cases now that I'm using the cream, otherwise it will bleach your sheets.

Love it!! I don't have chronic "acne", I just had my dermatologist prescribe me a medication as I tend to get flare ups when I'm stressed out. I'm getting married in 2 months and I don't want to have to worry about having a pimple on my wedding day! This stuff works great, I would recommend it to anyone
