Pros:

Really helps stop acne!!
I haven't had any new spots since I started using it a few weeks ago

Cons:

Price (even though my dermatologist gave me a card so I don't pay more than 25 dollars)
it dries out your skin (but benzoyl peroxide is famous for that)

Great product if benzoyl peroxide works for you, and I will happily keep lotion companies in business if it means being break out free.

Pros:

Works fast and over time
Doesnt become innefective like others
Jar lasts forever
Doesnt cause redness

Cons:

Can cause dryness (what doesnt)

I love this product and I have tried every over the counter spot treatment as well as Epiduo and other prescription and this is the best I have ever tried. It can be expensive but your derm should give you a card that will make you pay no more than $25

Pros:

Worked really fast for me
Reduced redness
Reduced inflammation

Cons:

It made my skin dry after I applied it
You're suppose to wait 15 minutes or so before applying a moisturizer
Expensive

I went to my dermatologist after having a HORRIFIC experience with Proactiv and he prescribed me Acanya gel in the morning, Atralin gel at night as well as Minocycline. I was using Acanya a while ago, but it's really expensive so I thought I'd try something a little cheaper...big mistake. I've come to accept that I'll always have to see a derm doc to keep my skin clear, when I break out it tends to be cystic and painful. Acanya has always worked SO well on my skin. It's kind of uncomfortable right after you apply it, but it goes away eventually. It made my acne just a little worse for about the first 2 days I used it, although I've been using it for almost 2 weeks and i'm so suprised how fast it's cleared things up. I still have a couple of spots that have yet to get the hell on...but the rest of it is just hyperpigmentated marks from where the acne was...which I'm sure with more time will go away. It healed the cystic acne I had within almost 2 weeks time...anything that can do that to cystic acne which could normally hang around for a month or so is well worth the money to me :) I can't say if I'd recommend it to anyone because you can only get it from your dermatologist...and everyones skin is so different, although if your doc does end up suggesting it to you I hope it works as good for you as it has for me :)

Pros:

Worked instantly for me
Not too harsh
No icky smell

Cons:

Mild flaking and redness if used too much, which I did. I learned my lesson.

Ok. I've been using this for about 2 weeks and my skin is clear. Thats really the most important thing right there. I had one tiny spot pop up and it was gone over night using this... Excellent product, just go easy on it at first. P.s. I hear its expensive, I'm using free sample right now, but was given a discount card to make it 25$
