Pros:

it cleared up my minor acne.

Cons:

major dryness occurs.
i've become immune to it.
and although it cleared up my ance...it took forever to do so.

It dries your face up like crazy! Itching occurs all the time even with a moisturize on. I don't think its a very good product.

Pros:

Never have had more than 5 pimples on my face at one time since I've used it.

Cons:

Sometimes leaves whiteness on your face.

If you never want to deal with acne, get Benzaclin.

Pros:

Not many

Cons:

Price, Redness, Irritation

I used this product as recomended by my doctor and I got these red irriatated scabby patches! The acne started to go away but this is worse than the acne was!

Pros:

i had semi-severe acne for years. i've tried retin-a, differin (both gel and cream), clindagel, proactiv...everything and nothing worked. this is the first time i've had clear skin since i was in 9th grade. i do need help with my scars however.

Cons:

extremely dry skin if i don't use a moisturizer in the morning - be very careful around eyes

works great - i hope my skin never becomes immune to it so i can use it forever

Pros:

clears skin, and helps minimise look of scars

Cons:

drying and redness, I got a red and dried out neck even though I didn't use it there, but just put noncomegenic moisterizer on my neck and redness is disapering.

I havent used it for long, but I notice results only after a few days, I'm on ammoxicillin(twice a day), and differn also, applying differn at night and applying benzaclin every other day, works well so far

Pros:

works quickly, dries out oily skin, easy

Cons:

skin will get immune to it, bleaches towels, if u miss a few doses...major breakout!

works v. good for mild acne. trying to find something else to switch too.

Pros:

Clears up pimples pretty good.

Cons:

Dries skin randomly, and when it does dry my skin it dries it really bad. Redness. and makes my face feel stiff without a lotion on top.

I would recommend this product, it has cleared up my skin pretty good even though it took awhile, but now i have red scaring on my face. Not caused by the benza clin though. Now my problem is finding something to get rid of scars while still using benzaclin to clear pimples away.

Pros:

Best cream i tried....

Cons:

little bit of dryness but not much ... i put lotion on first before i put benzaclin and the dryness effect doesnt happen..

it wasnt expensive... i work at a doctors office which he prescribed me this cream and i will use it forever!!
March 22, 2007

Pros:

This product is amazing!!! I haven't been using it for very long but not only does it not smell, it gets rid of my blemishes and red marks so quickly.

Cons:

Don't use it too much or too often at first. Otherwise you will either make your skin red or make it very, VERY dry. Use a pea-sized amount only!!!

Also it's very expensive if you don't have healthcare or the rebate. Ask your dermo for the reb

If your dermo offers this, take it! I've been using it with differin so I'm still in the purging stage but my skin (unblemished spots) feel sooooo nice! It's a baby's bottom it's so soft! I hope the results continue to be this good!

Pros:

dried up acne within 3 hours.

Cons:

DRY. flakey.

i put it on a little while ago and the acne was dried up in hours. my face is really dry though. i guess i'll just put some lotion on it.
