Works really well but one side effect was that my face dryed out.

Mild stinging definitely occurs, I felt like I had a sunburn the first few weeks of using this. Also, my face was super dry as a result of this medicine. On the bright side though, I did see improvement within 2 weeks and that's what counts. So just get a thick moisturizer to reduce the stinging and the dryness and apply about 10 minutes after letting the Benzaclin soak in, then you'll be all set.

When I used Benzaclin, my skin was amazingly clear, beautiful and oil free. I have oily (shiney) skin. I also had massive acne on my cheeks, very painful. But after I started using Benzaclin the pain went away, along with my acne and my oily skin. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone (who of course has acne/oily skin).

I have mild acne but it was quite prevalent around my chin area. Within hours of the first application I saw dramatic improvement! I had tried everything this was the only thing that truly worked and worked long term. Within 3 days of use I had no raised pimples on my face. I still had some red spots or scars from the pimples but within a few more days the flat scars went away and now my skin looks flawless again. I strongly recommend. It also works well if you use the proactive facewash while using Benzaclin as a topical treatment. Benzaclin can be worn as a light layer under a moisturizer and face makeup. It is not noticeable and will continue to heal the pimples. Highly recommended.

Benzaclin made my skin very dry and stiff. Even smiling was difficult the two hours after applying Benzaclin. However, it did a good job clearing my acne, which was severe.

Excellent. Cleared up large acne blemishes in less time than expected. Within two weeks, skin was significantly clearer. Side effects were minimal. No red or dry patches.

For me, Benzaclin works wonders. I'm a 37 year old male who had some problems with acne as a teenager. Accutane cleared those up. Unfortunately, my condition regressed as I got older. Benzaclin completely controls my acne. My skin clears up after using it for a week or so. I use it every evening. In the mornings, I use a topical moisturizer safe for oily skin to avoid dryness. Keep it out of your eyes-- it burns.

I am 18 and had mild acne before I started using this product. At least four days after using Benzaclin I definitely started noticing results, my face cleared up dramatically. I would wash my face at night, put it wherever I had acne then sleep with it on. If I ever had a pimple I would put the cream directly on it and it would dry out by the end of the day. Benzaclin is an amazing product and I would highly recommend it to anyone with acne problems.

I am a 28 years old and have acne. I went to a dermatologist and he prescribed this to me. I used it for about 4 months and it did nothing for me. It is expensive even with insurance.

This is the most amazing product I've ever used in my life! I absolutely love it. I don't have any acne on my face but I do get the occasional pimple but the problem area for me is my back and shoulders and I've tried everything for my body and this is the only product that cleared up my body acne. Although it's pricey and doesn't last very long it's WELL worth it if you use it discreetly. When I use Benzaclin on my face, it clears up my pimples within a few hours! and now I hardly get pimples! But the downfall here is that my face gets dry, but it's gotten better now. I absolutely love this product.

This product works very well, only problem that has showen was the dryness of skin after applying. It has cleared up my face wonderfully, but there are still little not so noticeable areas that refuse to go away. So expensive even with insurance and you only get this tiny bottle but I say its worth it.

I have been using Benzaclin along with antibiotics prescribed by my doctor for almost a week now. My face has cleared up so much and I am so thankful for this product. I use it twice a day and although my sensitive skin burns like crazy and gets a little red. It's worth it because I can see dramatic results. The burning gets a little better each time I put it on, I'm sure it's just cleaning out my pores. I would recommend this product to anyone with acne.
