Pros:

Fast on making my ance go away aswell as scars and redness

Bad odour and drys out my skin pretty badly

Using a moisturizer right after i cleanse my face helps my skin from drying out after i use b-clin, totally makes me ance go away like, really fast!

duac changed my life
ok I've never posted a review but just had to for this stuff, it has changed my life!!! I put up with hormonal acne for years. I went to my dr and asked for acne medication but as I was going to be ttc again soon he didn't want to give me oral medication but gave me the duac cream to try... It lasts 2 months, and honestly it cleared my acne up within 3-4 weeks... I saw improvements straight away... I still got the odd pimple in that time but my biggest fear was that I would stop the cream and they would all come back. Well I used it for the full 2 months and I'm sooooo happy to say I literally have not had another single pimple since I stopped using it and that was 2 months ago!! every time I feel my soft smooth face I just can't believe it

Pros:

Clears up cystic acne

Cons:

Creates some mild redness
Dries skin

I'm in my early 40s and have battled cystic acne all my life. Since having kids 10 years ago, I've ignored all prescription treatments for my acne (basically gave up). Last week, my dr. gave me this "new" gel (I'd never tried it) and I've been using it as prescribed for 5 days now (twice a day, after cleansing). The cysts I had that were healing are much better - scarring is much less than it would have been. The cysts I had that were starting to appear never emerged. I have had one new cyst appear but it's definitely greatly reduced than what it would have been. I have had some flakiness/dryness around my skin and after a couple of days, I noticed my skin looks redder than normal (it's always somewhat red). A small price to pay to avoid getting the cysts to begin with! I'll be sticking with this lotion, although I may start to use a bit less each time. I only rated it a 4 because of the dryness and redness, but I'm hopeful that will go away after using the product for a while.

Pros:

Clears skin
Has benzyol peroxide in it

Cons:

Bleaches some fabrics
Drying
Expensive

The benzyol peroxide in Duac really helps clear skin fast. Salicylic acid never works for my skin, but benzyol peroxide does, so it's nice to have a product like this. It is very drying, but using a moisturizer (like Pond's) helps with that. Don't use this stuff around your eyes, it burns. The stuff can be expensive, but it works really well (for me at least).

Pros:

Works very well for awhile
Clears pimples quickly in a gentle way
Works on cystic acne and little pimples too

Cons:

Can redden your skin
Dries out your skin
Skin becomes immune to it
Makes your skin white

I first started Benzaclin when I was ten,and I stopped using it when I was 14 or 15 because I noticed that it stopped working. I had to start using Benzaclin and Tazorac,along with some antibiotics,together to make sure it's raelly effective. It works.My skin doens't have as many little inflamations underneath my skin,no cysts,etc. It's great.My only problem with this stuff is that your skin might become really dry (even if you have a moisturiser),it might feel irritated the first time,and your skin might become immune to it. Everyone's experience is different,but this is mine.

Cons:

-Dryness
-Redness but went away

I loved this product. It worked well for my skin and I noticed a total improvement. But now I cannot use this because it is over $120. Cannot afford BUT for those who can, I would recommend it.

Amazinggggggg
I love this product!! I have litrally tried EVERYTHING! Starting from Sudecrem, tcp, toothpaste to brand names such as Simple, neutrogena and St Ives.. but nothing seemed to work. However i recently discovered the Duac Jel Cream which i picked up from the Pharmacy. After reading such good reviews and seeing drastic results i started using this product as soon as i purchased it. I stopped using my other products as i thought by using too much on my face could cause irratation and then result in my skin getting even worse. I have been using this product for over 3 month now and i couldn't ask for better results! you can even see a difference over night as the spots that were noticeable and red reduced dramatically in size and was soon gone in just a couple of days. As my skin is very dry i do still moustrise with my Simple Moustriser but other than that these are the only 2 products which i use on my face. I totally recommend this product to anyone who is in desperate need of a spot treatment that actually works in such a small amount of time, it's a life saver, i love ittttttt!
