Pros:

worked at clearing up zits faster, and reducing the number and size.

Cons:

didnt completely get rid of them, got an occasional bad zit once in a while

i get bout 6-7 small pimples and 1-2 big ones a week before taking this. Started taking solodyn and using benza clin and it started to work pretty fast after bout 2 weeks. Its been 5 weeks and the whole time ive only gotten 2 big zits and several smaller ones, and the ones i get go away way faster. Definately works although i wish it cured it. IT cost 50 bucks but havent had a refill on it yet so it lasts probly 2 months if use it conservately

Pros:

Benzaclin seems to be making my mild/moderate acne less noticable. It is still there, but it's not the first thing people see when they look at me.

Cons:

It took a very long time for me to get results, and my acne is still there, it just seems "lighter". not as red or inflamed.

Benzaclin is good, but I think that it may take a very long time for the acne to be gone. I have used it now for about two exact months, and i see small differences. All in all, it seems to make the acne easier to handel, but not clear it up completley. I would recomend it to others, because it did help, and I have had no bad reactions to it.

Pros:

it actually works

Cons:

expensive even with insurance, can potentially lead to colitus / constipation (read the warning labels!)

I give it 4 stars instead of 5, even though it worked for me. A word on my acne, it is the cystic kind, painful, hard bumps and constantly inflamed. There were always 6-12 of them on my face. I've had acne for 8 years and nothing seemed to work...I tried prescription differin, azelic (sp?), herbs, apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, oatmeal masks, murad and none of them really worked for me even with consistent use. It took about 6 weeks for benzaclin to stop new breakouts and heal most of the current cysts. However, I had to stop using benzaclin because it was starting to give me signs of colitus (read the labels, it is actually a side effect). So on a whim, I tried a friend's advice to use proactive. I was very surprised that it took away the rest of my acne and I've been acne free for the last five months (except for bursts when I'm under a lot stress). I give benzaclin credit for making my acne manageable so that proactive could do the rest, so I'm giving it a 4 stars.

Pros:

At first I was excited that it would help me get over a 35 yr battle of constant breakouts, and it seemed to help for about a yr. Insurance covers 90% of cost

Cons:

It seems to lose it's "kick" after the 1st week on a new mixed jar.

I guess it's better than nothing. If used in conjunction with an oral antibiotic it might work better.

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:

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
