For Acne "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."

For Acne "Used this for two days only at night. It may have reacted with my usual night moisturizer, but my skin broke out into a red, burning rash. My skin is scaly and itchy. I stopped using this product and hope I am able to find something that won't cause a reaction. It is too bad because there have been some great reviews, although it doesn't work for my skin type at all. It has been over two straight days of burning, red, swollen, and irritated skin on my face. I didn't use a large amount either."

For Acne "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."

For Acne "So I used this for four nights. As per dosage, I used a super small amount. 3rd application, my face burned really bad. Next morning, I woke up with a rash on my cheeks. 4th night, I avoided the irritated area but woke up the next day with a full face of eczema. I'd caution you, if you have eczema and your doctor still prescribes this (as mine did), be careful! Now I have a full face of steroid cream, and my acne is still there☹️. It did seem to be making some effect before the whole huge eczema outbreak."

For Acne "Have been on this and Retin-A for three weeks, and I'm amazed at the results. No new pimples at all. Virtually poreless, clear skin and very smooth. It does burn a bit at first, but following with CeraVe helps."
