Duac didn't work for me. My doctor switched me to Benzaclin. Benzaclin cleared me up in about 2/3 weeks and is available in a pump. The pump gives me the exact dose I need to put on without fussing w/ it. The expiration is almost twice as long as duac which will save me money when I need refills.

Pros:

It cleared me up fantastically in two weeks.

Cons:

If you use too much you will get red and itchy.

Great product, works, makes acne less red and inflamed.

Pros:

I have tried many solutions from my doctor percripted me to. None worked.

Cons:

It stings?! and is verrry dry.. stiffens up my face.

My "ex"friend left it at my house. She has NO ACNE and I am extremly embarrest of it. I dont even like my boyfriend touching my face or even looking at me for a long time because Im so parinoid of it. By using benzaclin i think that it will help.. cause it helped my friend.. (flawless)

Pros:

gets rid of redness in minutes, can be used with lotion, drys up pimples in a reasonable amount of time.

Cons:

drys your skin, real bad at times. if your skin is pretty bad it can take a while to see dramatic results.

i have been using benzaclin for 7 months now, i saw results quickly...but they were minor. i didnt seen dramatic results until recently, 7 months later. my skin was just terrible, totally red and just gross. i still have some pimples and im still a little red in some places ....but its MUCH better than it was. over all this stuff works pretty well, you have to be patient though.

Pros:

Works relatively fast and keeps face clear when used regularly as directed.

Cons:

I've noticed dryness in the area of application but just for a little while.

Since I began using BenzaClin I have had no more acne. In the morning I apply it, message it in good, then apply my oil free moisturizer and makeup. No problem! At night I apply it before my nighttime moisturizer.

Pros:

none

Cons:

none

ive had acne since about 11 yrs old and im 24 now and its worse than ever. ive decided to give up on all these stupid products because ive wasted hundreds of pounds on stuff which doesnt work. ive wasted the best part of the time im supposed to be going out there with friends and partying because i was ashamed of this mess that is my face. i dont know what to do.

Pros:

Using this and Retin-A Micro has cleared up some of my acne after only a few days.

Cons:

My skin, especially around my mouth is very dry and red, and has been peeling.

I've only been using this for about a week, so I'm not sure yet. Hopefully the peeling improves soon.

Pros:

Insurance made this product pretty affordable

Cons:

My face seemed to look as though it was clearing up within the first week of using Benzaclin, however progressively got worse and worse. The more I used the bigger the zits and the worse my face got.I stopped using it 3days ago, now my face is CLEAR

This product did not work for me. It made my face much worse.

Pros:

doesnt irritate my face

Cons:

VERY expensive!!

I had tried Duac before in the past and it worked wonders. I stopped using it for about a year or so because of the price. My face started getting really bad in the past fews months, so now I am trying the Duac again. I hope it works as well as it did before!!

Pros:

reduces break outs and causes redness to go away. Should see clearer skin in about 2 weeks

Cons:

burns at first, especially after using shaving cream. Makes skin peel, but dont give up. Many people do.

Its an effective product. U should very small amount. One pea size amount should be used on all of the face. Dont use more than that, otherwise ull get ithching and peeling.
