Pros:

Tube lasts a long time - I bought mine in April and I still have at least 25% of it left.

Cons:

Didn't work for me. Dries skin out. Be sure to moisturize religiously and use a very gentle cleanser.

I used proactive along with birth control pills for years and my skin was always "ok". It was by no means great but it wasn't the worst. I had to be taken off the birth control pills and within a matter of weeks my skin was atrocious. I dealt with it with over the counter products for a year before I gave up and went to see a derm. He prescribed Duac and Ziana - alternating between the two each night. My skin definitely got worse before it got better however I see no overall great improvement. Instead of getting big, monster pimples I just have lots of smaller ones. I placed a lot of hope in this product and it let me down. My dermatologist said it would take about 3 months to see results. it's been 5 and i'm no better off. Maybe it works miracles for some people but it didn't do anything for me. I'm going to see a new dermatologist this week.

Pros:

Clears up skin really fast, and evens out skin tone.

Cons:

Makes you break out pretty badly the first 1-3 weeks you use it.

It works. It makes your break out the first few weeks, but it clears up those breakouts really quickly. Make sure to get a coupon from your dermatologist...its worth it

Pros:

It works fast. After only a week, my skin was clear. It didn't dry out my skin either which was nice.

Cons:

There really aren't any cons in my opinion.

It works fast, which is what everybody wants, and it really clears your skin from acne.

Pros:

gets rid of acne!

Cons:

red and peeling skin, pricey without insurance, if combined with other products may become really irritated

My dermatologist prescribed me this after countless acne products. My skin not only had acne but twice as much post-acne. The first month I had used it my skin broke out a lot. It also peeled my skin drastically, which was very embarrassing, even with moisturizer and makeup . A little while after that the post-acne marks started fading away and acne reoccurred less. After 3-4 months all my acne was almost gone and less came. I highly recommend this product even after the bad side effects.

Pros:

Works very fast, decent smell

Cons:

I found it took a while to work. Very expensive without insurance.

At first it made my acne 100x worse, but after the first inital week it started to subside. Week two my skin started to actually clear up. I'm on week 3 now and my acne is starting to look worse again. I dried out a little but I'm getting used to it. Hopefully by next week it'll kick into high gear.

Pros:

none really

Cons:

started to clear up after a week or 2 for about a week then took a turn for the worst...hasnt cleared up at all since, only gotten worse

ive been on this for 3 1/2 months. .and my face has only worsened since i started it. and the worst part of it all is im getting married in 5 months--and i was told this would for sure work. so im bummed. :( hoping something else might work....maybe benzamycin?? not too mention i had to pay out of pocket because i have a high deductible and it was $275.00 for me. too much for it not to work. cause if it did work id pay it in a heart beat

So happy!

Pros:

Cleared acne
side effects go away

Cons:

Made my skin flaky
My skin is still red

I am 13, and for about a year or two I struggled with acne. I literally was obsessed with my skin. I was spending my free time looking up reviews of products and trying everything from cheap drug store products to expensive department store one and getting facials with my own money. All I can say is stop wasting your time and money looking for other products other than Epiduo. It took me a couple of months to start working and I'm happy to say that face is acne free. I was also using another product that I got from my Dermatologist gave me called Epiduo which was amazing also. I have to admit that my skin is a little more red than usual after using this wonderful product, but it can easily be concealed with a BB cream or tinted moisturizer. This a an amazing product that really does work! Please do not waste your time trying everything! Get to your nearest dermatologist and get Ziana!
