Pros:

Clears up a few breakouts

Cons:

red, dry, flaky, itchy

I got inpatient after a month so i stopped cause it wasnt looking any different. I would recommend you give it a shot though if your looking to use it. Prolly would work great on light acne.

Pros:

My dermatologist prescribed me this medication while I was breastfeeding my son since this one one of the safest medications during this time. My acne started to diminish gradually while I was using this medication as well as my acne scars.

Cons:

Dryness, but controllable with moisturizer (Cetaphil & Clinique).

I only use a small amount of cream on acne prone areas of my face and still have a lot of cream left after 7 months of using the 50 g bottle. My face tend to get a little bit dry around my nose, chin, and cheek area, but it is under control with moisturizing 10 minutes after I apply the cream and also after I wash my face in the morning. I have tried Differin, and it seems like Benzaclin is much more effective.

Pros:

actually does clear skin

Cons:

drying, burning, peeling. I could not use this for more than about 3 days.

So this product does do what it says it will- it did actually clear my skin. But I was too preoccupied with how dry and peely my face was to even notice. I read in earlier reviews that it would burn the first couple of times you used it so I thought I would stick it out for a while but I just could not stand it. Everytime I would put it on, it would burn so badly. Even after I used Aveeno Ultra Calming foaming wash it burned! It was so bad I washed it right off. I'm done using it for now and I'm waiting for my skin to return to normal- aka not dry and peeling. I think I'm just going to use this as a once in a while treatment because it's just too harsh to use everyday, even just at night.

Pros:

Clears up skin eventually

Cons:

takes forever to clear my skin, at least 1 week to get rid of a pimple

Doesnt work well for small pimples and i have smooth skin and it tends to make it flaky but it is ok.

Pros:

Works fast. Blemishes die out quickly.

Cons:

Using more than a teeny tiny amount turns me into a dry lobster and makes my face feel like it's on fire. Drying. Bleaches fabrics. Short shelf life for the price.

This product has been extremely helpful now that I've gotten the dosage down to a science. A tiny bit goes a long way.

Pros:

It cleared my face pretty good while I was using the product. No big bumps! However, once I stopped using it, my acne came back.

Cons:

It dried my so bad that I was scaly. It also itched my face sooooo bad. I had redness all over my faces even areas where I didn't even put the medicine on like my eyes. It also burned my face. It's really expensive!!!!!

If you are willing to bare the itchiness, dryness, burning, and redness, go for it. It will clear your face as long as you use the product and bare the annoying side effects.

Pros:

It really shrinks your pimples after a couple of days of using. Since I have only used this for a couple of days, all of my acne isn't completely gone However it is well worth the cost.

Cons:

Dries up your skin & causes it to flake. Not sure if it's an allergic reaction, but my skin stings & feels as if had been sunburned.

For fast 'killing' of your acne, this is perfect, it really makes zits go away fast. It is not soothing by any means, it does dry your skin out, however a dermatologist recomended moisturizer does help a bit.
