For Acne "Before I used it, I was scared that it was going to dry out my skin because I already have really dry skin, but I've been using it with CeraVe lotion for extremely dry and rough skin, and I haven't experienced any dryness! It got rid of my acne and small bumps on my face. I use it every night before I sleep, and it's amazing!! My skin is now free of acne and is extremely smooth, which is something I've never had before. I love it."

For Acne "Wow, this product is awesome! I have only been on it for a week now, and I'm seeing impressive results. I'm a teenager, and I have mild acne, and I've been struggling with it since I was 10. I figured it's about time to put an end to this, and I went to my doctor, and she prescribed this medicine. I have scars and occasionally really big pimples that hurt. This product magically reduces the size of your pimples. However, I will warn people that this medicine also dries your skin out and can cause flaking and peeling. So, use a moisturizer to counter the drying effect, and you should be all set. And make sure to wash your face too to prevent further acne! Other than this minor issue, it's a great product so far."

For Acne "Had few breakouts until age 23. I broke out badly, graded moderate acne with some cystic. After two weeks, skin is healing and basically zero breakouts. I use it morning and night. Oil-free moisturizer 5 min after in the morning. Vaseline around eyes at night due to bad drying in that sensitive area. Benzaclin is legit. Wouldn't say I had oily skin before (would dry actually), but I had overproduction of sebum, and this simply eliminated that issue."

For Acne "I was never one to have severe acne, just a few small bumps here and there with a few big pimples that come every so often. However, they scarred very easily and left huge dark spots that were like 5x the size of little whiteheads. I went to my doctor to get rid of these dark spots that everyone was noticing. She prescribed Benzaclin, and I saw results! She recommended I cleanse my face with an Aveeno product, as it is gentle on skin, and it is amazing! At night I wash my face with Aveeno Positively Radiant cleanser and then apply Benzaclin (mainly focusing on the area with the dark spots). In the morning I use Aveeno Positively Radiant moisturizer, and these dark spots fade very quickly and it prevents further pimples. My face glows now!"

For Acne "I've been using this product for about two years, and it produces miracles. I used it, and right away everything cleared up. About a year after using this product, I went away for two weeks and kinda got off it. I had a huge breakout, and in my opinion, a disgusting one. I went back to the product, and after a week, started crying after seeing the results. This is magnificent."

For Acne "I have never written a review before because I'm only still a teenager. I've had acne ever since I was nine years old, and it sucks. I literally tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it, and nothing worked. I felt hopeless at times, so I went to the doctor, and the first thing she asked me was, 'Young lady, what are you gonna do with that acne?' I thought it was quite rude, but she followed up with she could prescribe me with Benzaclin. I said yes, ma'am, sign me up, and I've been on it since March 17, and my acne is legit GONE. I love this product."

For Acne "I got awful cystic acne freshman year of college. I became convinced that it was hormonal and that besides taking the birth control I was already on, there was nothing I could do. I finally went to see a dermatologist, and she prescribed me doxycycline and Benzaclin. The combination of the two yielded results in just a matter of weeks. I stopped taking doxycycline because at one point it got stuck in my throat and I got tonsillitis. It's only been half a year and my skin is completely clear! My scars are pretty much gone and my skin is even toned and smooth, finally! I highly recommend it. It's drying, but it works wonders."

For Acne "People, this cream eliminated my acne problem by 95%. When I first applied it, I experienced dryness and redness. This side effect went away after several weeks. My skin is still oily, but the acne is gone. I have had my acne return twice for a brief period of two weeks before they were gone again. When you have acne, you have tried so many things, and nothing seems to work. You become skeptical. You then start trying things and ditching them after a week, believing they won't help. Stick to this cream, it will change your life. It is unbelievable."

For Acne "I used this medication along with a benzoyl peroxide wash. I agree, it has worked miracles for me. I use them both at night and in the morning, and it is very drying. I don't mind that it dries my skin out, however, because it caused my skin to peel, which made my scars go away very quickly. Sometimes I avoid using the cream on my face in the morning and just put lotion on because no one wants their face peeling during the day."

For Acne "This stuff is amazing. During my teen years, I struggled with severe acne, and now that I am 24, it has improved a lot, but I still get quite a bit of painful cystic acne on my chin. I use the Benzaclin morning and night. This cleared up my acne FAST. My cystic pimples used to take weeks to clear up, but overnight the size and redness were greatly reduced. Since I always break out on my chin, I use this every night all over my chin and spot treat in the morning if necessary. Other than that, I just use Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer for dry skin. It works! I never thought I'd see the day where I have no acne!"

For Acne "I developed hormonal acne on my chin and both cheeks in my 40s. I use a very, very thin layer of Benzaclin on my face, except around my nose and eyes, after washing with Cetaphil antibacterial soap. Basically, the size of a pea for the whole face. I let it dry for 15 minutes, after which I gently wipe off any leftover film on my face. I then follow up with Cetaphil moisturizer. I have combination skin, so I make sure to put a good amount of Cetaphil on my dry areas. I settled on this regimen after having no luck with Avar cleanser and Differin. I stopped using Differin after 2 months because I found Benzaclin very effective and did not want to use both. It has been 2 weeks on the Benzaclin routine, and so far, no new breakouts."

For Acne "So I'm 13 (almost 14), and I've had acne all over my face for almost a year. But strangely, it's not the normal little bumps everywhere, I get more large under-the-skin whiteheads. I tried Proactiv and Oxy, which just dried my face out completely, making things even worse. I also tried natural remedies, which also made my face worse. Then, a few weeks ago, I went to my doctor, and he prescribed me Benzaclin... miracle product!! It's only been about 29 days, and already I have no acne on my forehead, nose, and chin!! Anyone using this product, I recommend using Cetaphil's gentle cleanser (to counteract the dryness of the medication) and religiously wash your face twice daily, using circular motions (and drying with a new towel each time). :)"

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 "I am 20 years old and started breaking out in 5TH GRADE! Yes, I was 10 years old. My cousins referred me to Benzaclin, and I have been a faithful user ever since. It dries up your pimples so fast. If a friend has a pimple coming on before a special event, I give them some, and they are always pleased. The second I get lazy and stop applying this, my face reverts back to its old ways. I have been using this product for ten years and will use it until it no longer works for me. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone struggling with mild acne and occasional breakouts."

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 "So far, I have only been on this for two weeks, and it has already drastically helped my skin! The pharmacy noted that it can take 8 weeks for a pimple to form, so the best results you'll see in two months. But two weeks, and I'm already so happy with this topical gel for my face! It does really dry your skin out, so I highly recommend using a really good face cream (I'm using Nivea Mattify, so it doesn't have to be a medicated or even an expensive cream, just find a good one that won't clog your pores), and I only use the gel when I go to sleep at night, not twice a day, so I recommend doing this (even just to start). If your doctor does want you to use it twice a day, ease your way in. The first 4 days, I only put it on for 2 hours to let my skin get used to it."

For Acne "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. It also works well if you use the proactive face wash 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."

For Acne "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."

For Acne "Guys! This product works! It is very much worth the price. I have had acne since I was 13, and I tried literally everything, but it wasn’t going, so I just gave up and left my face to continue breaking out. One day, I met a doctor, and she asked if I had been having issues with acne, and I told her I’m a teenager, so it’s part of my growth. She told me this wasn’t normal acne and prescribed Benzaclin for me. It’s been 3 months, and all my acne is legit gone! This is the smoothest my face has been in years. I will definitely recommend, and you will thank me later."

For Acne "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. 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! 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."

For Acne "It's expensive, but it WORKS! My insurance covers it, so I basically had a risk-free try. I'll definitely be refilling my prescription. I bought Proactiv, and after a month, I was seeing the results I wanted, so my doctor prescribed this. I use it at night, as it can dry the face. I use Spectro to wash my face day and night. It helps with the dryness. But honestly, it's been a couple of weeks, and my present acne is already fading. I had maybe one zit come up, and it isn't all nasty, and it's shrinking. I highly recommend, especially if you have an oil problem."

For Acne "I have suffered from acne for about 4 years. It is moderate, not severe. I tried antibiotics, but nothing cleared it. My dermatologist suggested Accutane, but my acne just wasn't severe enough to risk all of those horrible side effects. I went back to my family doctor, and he prescribed me Benzaclin. I began using this with Neutrogena Rapid Clear Oil Removing Face Wash, and immediately I saw results. This wash really helped dry up my oily skin and keep it matte all day long. No moisturizer, as this seems to just encourage breakouts for acne-prone skin. My acne is totally clear right now, and I just have red pigmentation spots from where my acne was. For now, I cover it with makeup until it fades, but already the Benzaclin has done wonders to lighten."

For Acne "I have mild acne, used Epiduo for 6 months with no results. It irritated my skin, and acne didn't clear up. I guess everyone is different. My sister used it too, she had cystic acne, and within 3 weeks her face was clear. She has no scars, but sadly it didn't work for me. I was prescribed this new gel, and just in a few days I have noticed a huge difference. Finally, my pimples are going away."

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."
