Pros:

It makes pimples disappear over night. It doesn't leave your skin feeling oily. I love it!!!!!!!!!!

Cons:

Bleaches Everything.

I have been using duac for about 2 weeks now and at the first sign of a pimple i put duac on the spot and the next mornig I wouldn't find an aweful pimple there. It always makes my skin feel fresh and smooth everyday. Don't know how i've made it without it all these years.

Pros:

Terribly dry skin, readness, itchyness, and price.

Cons:

It clears up acne incredibly, after a week most of my acne has cleared off. Only product in two years that has cleared up my acne.
Proactive-made skin terribly worse
Clean and clear-didn't exactly do anythings, neutrogena-zero results

My doctor prescribed benzaclin along with retin-a... I wash my face with dove in the mornings and then apply a small amount of benzaclin on the acne prone area, I wait a while for it to dry and then apply Cetaphil lotion which includes sun protection. At night i wash my face again with dove for sensitive skin protection and wait half an hour and then apply retin-a. In the morning i wake up with redness on my face but for the most part its no bother because it makes the acne fade.

Pros:

This product is very$$$$$ It dries the skin out badly. It does help with acne. But don't miss a day you will know it

Cons:

This product bleaches everything it touches, towels , clothes etc.
I would apply at night wearing a old t shirt to avoid ruining any other clothes

i dont use this product anymore i was only getting about 60-75% results. the product is very costly with insurance $40 and only keeps for 12 weeks, the jar is very tiny for the cost. Don't attemp to buy w/o insurance unless you have a spare $200 or more dollars. P.s. they do offer a rebate of $15 on there website with receipt.

Pros:

This product get's rid of large painful pimples in about a week..drying it up into a tiny white head.

Cons:

VERYYYYY dry skin. The dermatologist told me to use a make up remover called Albolene, which you can get at CVS Walgreens or riteaid to take my make up off..then just wash face with water..and water only!!! this will help the drying.

Love results so far, only been using for about 2 weeks.

Pros:

The only place it keeps 100% clear strangely is my forehead, which was the spot I kept breaking out initially

Cons:

There's a bunch....

It appeared to be working for me the first 2 weeks, then on week 3 it caused giant clusters of tiny whiteheads all under my chin, on the sides of my face, my cheeks and temples (?). Really not sure why...I was using Cetaphil moisturizer with it at first but I thought maybe that was reason I was still breaking out so I stopped. It's strange stuff, not worth the 30 bucks I paid. I'll probably go back to using PanOxyl; I can't figure out why it's CAUSING more pimples than I had initially when others had such great results. Has anyone else had it cause lesions?

Pros:

Immediately shrunk existing pimples and I haven't had any new ones.

Cons:

Benzaclin is drying and it does sting. I use Cetaphil Cream when I use it and it still is uncomfortable for a few hours.

Definitely worth the money. I use this with Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash (which I'll admit doesn't help the dryness). After a week of use my skin is almost 100% smooth and clear. I have one stubborn pimple on my forehead but it is slowly going away. I LOVE this stuff!

Pros:

It is easy to use. It clears pimples easily; almost overnight. Every inexpensive.

Cons:

It started working the first few days but now it is causing me to have alot of little black heads and bumps on my face. Either it is working with my acne under my skin or an allergic reaction. I still have to use it a little longer to determine.

It works well to get rid of a pimple overnight.

Pros:

Duac works the quickest out of any acne cream I've ever tried. I used Differin gen .3% and it didn't work nearly as fast or efficiently as Duac. I love it!

Cons:

It dried my skin out horridly! It was red, flaky and hurt so I had to use it ever other day until it went away. I normally apply it every night. It WILL bleach anything it comes in contact with so be CAREFUL and let it dry!

I love it!!!!!

Pros:

Worked for the first month.

Cons:

Had terrible breakouts after a month.

I should have never started using this medicine, I had mild acne and it only made it worse. I did not purchase this medicine; my doctor gave me samples.
