Pros:

I have used it for 3 days.Never had acne before.
No burning sensations, no bad smell either.

Cons:

None so far.

Have a first time,a mild outbreak of acne, near my mouth/chin area. Duac seem to calm it all down. Can cause slight dryness but a moisuriser makes it all good again. Can't wait for more results.

Pros:

works when you first start with it.
not like thick or nasty looking, feeling, or smelling.

Cons:

my body got so immune to it. i still use it every night, but it doesnt seem to do anything anymore! :[

benzaclin will most likely for sure work in the beginning, but the results seem to lessen quickl. deffinitely better for milder acne. most likely wont do a thing for severe ance.

Pros:

My Daughter, 14, had very beautiful skin up to the age of 14.. Hit 14 and the acne started. I think using makeup contributed. We spent $200 in different products. Nothing worked. Went to Dr and she prescribed this. In 1 week face is almost clear!

Cons:

Some dryness

Don't waste your $$ on Proactive and all the other products out there. Get this presription instead of wasting time and $$. Works quickly. You can also help yourself by not using makeup and taking care of your face - something teenagers don't take seriously until it is too late

Pros:

Its got rid of my bacne which i suffered for 5 years. iv only used it everyday for 3weeks so far im clean. i can sweat alot and still have a clean back. the scars are healing now that the acne is no active. IM CURED AND I CANT BELEIVE IT! love it.

Cons:

it drys out your skin but it eventualy goes when u balance it with a non alcoholic non fragranced moisturisure. il rather have a dry back then a spotty one at the end of the day. It only goes dry to because its breaking the clogged up skin. then goes

Its a cure and a miracle. I will continue using it even though i dont need to because i missed applications for 3 consecutive days and sweated like a pig lol and still did not have a single spot or any sign of redness (the sign of active acne skin).

Pros:

-Works. I went from severe cystic to completely clear.
-Surprisingly, this worked when even Differin and Tazorac didn't.
-Did i mention this works?

Cons:

-I don't get much of the dry skin/redness others write about. Maybe it's because I'm asian, I dunno.
-I have had a few shirts ruined from the peroxide bleaching them, but if I'm acne free I honestly don't care!
-Creams are inconvenient

GET IT. USE IT UP TO TWICE A DAY. enjoy clear skin without having to go through accutane.

Pros:

My skin is extremely clear overall. I get a pimple every once in a while but nothing like it used to be. I noticed a change in only a few days too.

Cons:

It's a bit expensive. It can also leave your skin a bit flaky on your first few days of using it.

Great product overall. Helps with blackheads, whiteheads, and especially those big painful red ones.

I dont kno why people say to refrigerate it. here are the instructions, from the DUAC WEBSITE. FOR PHARMACIST: STORE THIS MEDICINE in the refrigerator between 36 and 46 degrees F (2-8 degrees C) prior to dispensing to the patient. Do not freeze FOR PATIENT: STORE THIS MEDICINE at room temperature up to 77 degrees F (25 degrees C) in a tightly-closed container. DO NOT FREEZE. Discard any unused medicine after 2 months notice it says, store at ROOM TEMPERATURE. also if u are paying alot for this i suggest u get better insurance! i only pay 3 dollars for this, and all other medications!

Pros:

Clears up some acne.

Cons:

It left my skin dry, made some pimples worse, was way to expensive for my budget.

It dried out my skin and didn't even work as well as most over the counter medication.
