Pros:

Reduce blackheads in just 1-2 days.
Makes skin less oily

Cons:

Very irritating on the skin
Lots of redness
It's aging the skin

Duac is very effective, but the Bensoyl Peroxide causes irritation and redness. BP also ages the skin. I have used BP occasionally in different medications, with spider vessels(small red dots) and decreased texture as permanent side effects. I will never use any medication with BP again.

Pros:

Clears up your face AMAZINGLY!
Helps oily skin. (my skin is so oily, and this actually helps it.)

Cons:

If you have any open wounds, DONT PUT IT THERE! It burns. =z
You have to consistently use it.

Awesome product. I've heard its better than proactive (havent tried proactive.. dont need to!) lol. My doctor reccomended this to me and it is literally the best thing that has happened to my face so far.

Pros:

it takes away blackheads IMMEDIATELY. it cleared up my nose of any blackheads or white heads.and closed the pores. it also reduces the size of pimples and cysts.

Cons:

Dryness is all that has happened to me no itching peeling or redness..it is expensive but my insurance payed for it all.
it takes about 2-3 wks for immediate results.

It works extremely well with ppl with light to moderate acne. its expensive amd occasionaly you will get a pimple or to but other than that it works very good.

Pros:

It actually worked for me. It didn't dry up my face too much. It cleared up my skin and made my skin softer.

Cons:

It hasn't eliminated my post-acne marks. It can make my face a little red.

I tried just about everything except pro-activ. I tried all the fancy kits just to be left with no results, especially since I figured out that the astringents in the kits were making my acne worse. I had just about given up until I went to my doctor. She prescribed me Duac topical cream and some face lotion/soap that came with the cream. It works amazing and I'm so happy it worked.

Pros:

Good for clearing up pigmented skin, red patches. good texture, works the day you first use it! Noticable changes and improvement in the first few days of application. Very good overall!

Cons:

Can make skin to appear more red.

Good acne cream treatment. Improves healing process of the skin considerably. Change in skin tone, pigment, lessens acne on face- conveinent and skin feels remarkeably cleaner and smoother. Gentle on face- Very Good for any skin type and any skin condition! Use it! I am also finishing my last fixed dosage of doxycycline. I am very happy with the progress!

Pros:

it helped clear SOME acne fairly quickly( about a month or so) and left parts of my face flat and clear

Cons:

i still had red spots where my acne used to be and still got breakouts on my jawline, and i have been on the product for 3 months.

It was a good clear up for bout a month. then it just stayed constant, didnt get rid of redness from old acne, and i still had a breakout that wouldn't go away on my jawlines. I paid 0.00$ with insurance. but it was going to be 150$

Pros:

Clears some acne within a few days

Cons:

Can burn dry skin if applied twice a day for a long time and does not help prevent

I would recommend this for people who are seeking treatment. However, this will not fully clear skin. For me, using duac alongside oral antibiotics is the most effective form of treatment.

Pros:

I have used this product a few months! It got rid of the big pimples but I still have a few minila I think is what you call it well I am using this and also was put on Retin-A micro been on the Retin-A micro for two days now hope it works!

Cons:

it stains good clothes. My sister is on this as well it has made her face pale but she had acne so bad this stuff really worked for her so it's hit and miss in some people she has been on this over 6 months so it just takes time!

I believe if it can clear my sister's bad acne like it did I say GET IT! She is the reason I went for it because I have to get rid of these nasty things they are so not cool! Just get it and try it if you don't like it then just don't use it anymore its worth it! some people experiance the redding and itching and burning I never have in the two months I have been on it! I was paying $25.00 but they up my co-pay this year to $30.00 so it just depends on your insurrance! GOODLUCK
