For Acne "I'm 18. I've been using this since I was 11. This really helps me, hands down the best product. I always find myself running back to this product! I'm not even kidding right now. I broke out so much, and I finally bought it, and it works wonders. I tried so many products. You name it, I used it. This cleared me up, and everyone was complimenting how clear my skin was. I was once again confident! Then, after a while, when I was 17, I started breaking out again, but this time it was hormonal. They were painful acne, it hurt to move my face and everything, but thanks to Benzaclin, it changed everything. Yes, it gets real dry and itchy, but it's worth it because in the end you get beautiful skin."

For Acne "I've never written a review of anything before. My face was flawless after high school. Here and there I would break out, but nothing major. I am now 25 and started suffering from acne located primarily on my jawline. It was awful! I spent a small fortune on products, and nothing worked. I finally went to the doctor and was prescribed Benzaclin, and it is amazing! I have been on it for three weeks today exactly, and my face is so clear. There was a little itching at first if I slathered on too much. Now I only use it as a spot treatment, and that works great too!"

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."
