Pros:

It dries out whiteheads overnight. Reduces acne by 60%

Cons:

Dry, flaked skin...but, use a good moisturizers. It doesn't clear blackheads.

Get it! It works well. Also, invest in a good moisturizers, they make a lot of difference. If u buy moisturizers over-the-counter, try Garnier Nutritioniste Renewal Cream. If you want to buy an AMAZING moisturizer, buy from a brand called REVIVE!!!!! The Renewal Cream is 150$ but it leaves skin smooth, and reduces acne.

Pros:

Clears up at first.

Cons:

Although it makes your skin dry and flaky and it sometimes burns, if you just use it every other day, all of those side effects go away. It worked great for 4 months, but I just got it refilled and it stopped working. Is it mixed wrong?

Great product, use moisturizer! Alternate days, but go back to DOC if it stops working. As for the price, Costco Wholesale has a great pharmacy and you don't have to be a member to buy it there!

Pros:

Skin is less oily, Only one new spot formed whilst using this!!
Oh, and free on NHS ;);)

Cons:

Skin can feel tight for a few hours after applying. (Some people may find this annoying, but I like the feeling :)) It beats oiliness any day..

Heyy I have had mild to moderate acne for a while now, (I'm 16) and have been on tablets like Enthromycin (worked amazingly but then became immune to it) and Oxytetracycline (which doesn't work on me).. so I decided to try a topical cream, and I have to say I'm really pleased with the results so far. I've been using it for a week, but saw results the morning after I'd used it. I woke up and, to my surprise, didn't (for the first time in months!!) have a cluster of new pimples, and amazingly my skin wasn't oily at all after a whole night.. (usually, my skin is horrible and greasy after I wake up in the morning and I can't wait to wash it, but my skin actually felt nice and firm.) I actually can't wait every morning to wash my face and apply this cream (I use a fingertip size for my whole face) and know that I can put my mineral makeup on and come home WITHOUT looking like I've dipped my face in cooking oil... So far it's great, but we'll see....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fingers c

Pros:

Was the best thing Ive tried yet.

Cons:

RIGHT after I stopped using it, my acne came BACK and worse. Am now addicted.. TOO expensive for me as well. How did you all get it for UNDER $50?

Good to treat while youre using it, but acne came back my dear friends...

Pros:

Works very well if you mix it 2 parts cocoa butter with one part B.C.. the cocoa butter reduces redness and dryness while healing scars while B.C. clears acne

Cons:

alone it makes skin red and dry

mixing with cocoa butter makes this stuff amazing...but it takes time be patient

Pros:

Fragrance free and didn't cause much irritation such as peeling, fortunately.

Cons:

Made me break out even worse and the spots that i had were so sore and took ages to heal. Accentuated the appearance of previous acne scars. The benzoyl peroxide bleached some of my clothes. Feels really weird when you wash it off in the morning.

The cons made me return to the doctor after 6 weeks, and i'm now trying an alternative treatment.

Pros:

After time, clears out skin very very well. Occasional stress/menstrual zit, but other than that, my face WAS fine.

Cons:

Dried out the skin for the first week or so.

About a year after I had first gotten benzaclin, disaster struck. I got 2 huge nodules bigger than 2 pencil erasers, and countless other mini-nodules over 3 weeks, right around my year mark for using benzaclin. It works for awhile, but after a year or so, your skin adapts to it, and it fails to work. Sigh.

Pros:

Cleared my skin up after about a month of use, helped with cysts a great amount and dries up oil skin produces so if used in the morning can keep skin less oily throughout the day

Cons:

Stopped working after a few months and i am still continuing to use it in the day time along with differin at night

Defenitly a product to be considered for all with acne prone skin, i did not see drying on my skin and it is great for clearing as well as maintaining clearer skin
