Pros:

It works fast, and effectively, making my skin smooth, and clear within a week

Cons:

Makes skin a little dry, but that's why it works.

If you want to get rid of very bad acne, this is the way to go. My skin is perfect, I don't have to wear make up, I don't have to avoid seeing my friends, I'm more confident. It's perfect!

Pros:

It definitely works for me. I tread everything from Murad to Proactive. But those products totally irritate my skin and makes it even worse.

Cons:

Like another person mentioned my skin starts to break out again after I stop using it for about a month. Does not work well with Moisturizer with SPF sunscreen.

This is no wonder cream that completely stops you from getting acne/pimples. HOWEVER, it controls the severity. I ocassionally get some pimples. That depends on what I eat. The cream prevents the pimple/acne from looking really nasty. And it usually gets rid of it within a couple of days. I use it with Clearisil 2% Salicyc face wash and Cetaphil moisturizer. And I use it with mineral powder makeup.

Pros:

This product was amazing! it got rid of my acne in the first three days! it cleared me up and I have never felt so free from worrying about my face!

Cons:

dries skin for the first little while but don't get discouraged! Keep using it and your skin will eventually get used to it!

Bottom line is that it helps give confidence and gives you another reason to wake up in the morning! Try it! I stand by it one hundred and ten percent =D

Pros:

Keeps inflammatory acne at bay.

Cons:

Expensive. It costs me $60 for 25 grams, and that's with insurance. Before my body got used to the medication, I suffered from dryness, flakiness, and redness.

Be patient. Do not give up. It took over five weeks for me to see results. Side effects (e.g. dryness) will get better with time.

Pros:

It will get rid of your acne considerably in a few days

Cons:

It will bleach hair and clothing! so if you have acne by your eyebrows or hairline make sure you wash it off your hair because it will bleach it out! It does make your face kinda dry so use a moisturizer after

It works really well but i need more so i don't know about the price.... I love it

Pros:

It will take away whiteheads etc. within 2 days of use

Cons:

It dries skin a little, so use a moisturizer. Also it will not remove blackheads.

It works well! It will get rid of big or small whiteheads. It dose dry out skin, but use REVIVE'S MOISTURE RENEWAL CREAM!! The cream is 150 dollars but it gets rid of ALL dryness and evens complexion overnight. It works for everyone I know.

Pros:

Cleared up my acne (along with an improved diet & exercise). Works faster than benzoyl peroxide alone. Smooth and fragrance free.

Cons:

Dries skin. Leaves dark spots behind.

It took a good 4 weeks for me to start seeing some results. I use this at night with aloe vera gel afterwards. My "breakouts" now consist of 2-3 small pimples per week instead of 4-5 medium pimpes per week. The only reason I'm unsatisfied is because it seems to make acne scarring worse & it leaves skin looking red and irritated in the morning (after cleansing).

Pros:

Clears up redness and dries existing pimples within a week

Cons:

- Drys and peels face somewhat
- Caused dry lips for me (uncomfortable)
- Expensive w/o insurance

I'm using this product with another prescription, Differin. Within two weeks my face looks probably 50% better, but I still had two fresh pimples. My back has improved considerably- I used to have boil-like acne in the center of my back before I used the product. This product still hasn't cleared up the deep existing red spots that I've had for months and months. Maybe it needs more time, we'll see. So far, I'm pleased. I hope you have insurance- without it Benzaclin would have cost me $146.00

Pros:

cleared up my skin sort of, only temporarily though.

Cons:

it was really drying and made my skin really super duper sensitive.

it was overall a really baad desicion to use it. i was the type of prson who could scrub their face for fifteen minutes with exfoliating products and experience no irritation, but after using benzaclin even "gentle" cleansers turn me bright red. now it's a lot better, i still get red when i scrub too hard, but i'm hopeful that i will return to normalcy in a month or two. best not to use it in my opinion.
