I have used this along with a Bezoil Peroxide Wash and the results have been the best I have experienced. I am 48 year old female who did not begin having acne problems until my late 30's. It has been very severe at times.

This product has become my favorite! Initially, I used it daily, but over time I reduced the frequency. It successfully cleared my acne and has maintained my skin's smoothness.

I’ve been on this medication since I started getting breakouts and severe acne (12 years old), i didn’t see any results at the time. I tried to use it again about 1 year ago and noticed my forehead acne clear up within a few weeks, but I developed very bad acne on my cheeks. I continued to use this product for 10 months and saw only a slight improvement in my cheek acne and no more forehead acne but more acne on my chin & visible acne scars on my cheeks.

I am 17 yr old female and have been using benzaclin for almost two years now. It has done wonders for my skin. I still have very small breakouts every once in a while but it is no where near how bad it used to be.

I am a 20 year female, who when I was 16 used this drug to get rid of acne, I developed a rash and swelling within a couple days of use. Fast forward, to now on 11/24/2015, I developed a bacteria infection on my face causing severe acne, so I was prescribed this again. By 11/26/2015 I had once again severe swelling and a severe rash on my face. Although my acne is completely gone I am still battling the rash (today is 11/29/2015). The swelling and rash is still here. I love this product, but I would test it on a small part of your face before using it like the directions say. It is a great product if you are not allergic to it like I am. I tried multiple products from Walmart, and a bacteria cream before using this cream. I would definitely recommend a heavy duty face lotion as this product really dries your skin out. I would not use any other acne products with this product due to how potent this one is.

I have used Benzaclin three different occasions, and each time have seen amazing results. My skin started to improve almost immediately, and after less than a week my scars began to fade. Benzaclin softened my face and evened my skintone, and everyone told me my skin was glowing. I have had acne for as long as I can remember and nothing has ever worked as well as this. I have never reviewed any product in my life but this works so well, I really encourage giving it a try! I always seem to come back to this medicine, and it never lets me down.Read More Read Less

I was in a trial group before the drug came out on the market. I wasn't sure if I was using the placebo until my face started clearing up, then, no break outs. I used it in the morning under makeup and before bedtime. This worked very well for me. I was upset when I finished my trial which lasted for a few months. I'm glad to see that this has worked for other people. When I was young I took antibiotics to keep my skin clear, then as a young adult Retin-A. This was much easier and could be used all over my face. I'm excited to try the generic brand to see if it works as well. Read More Read Less

I wash my face with at least three different products everyday and I also used the prescription Epiduo for my acne. Other products such as Neutrogena,Proactive, Burt's Bees, Cetaphil, etc. have had no positive effect on my skin at all. I have been using Benzaclin for about three years and it is the only thing that keeps my acne at a very low minimum, with no pimples at all, hardly any redness, and just a few bumps. Benzaclin is by far the best product that I have ever used on my skin.

I'm 19 yrs old and in a matter of 4 months my skin took a dramatic turn for the worst. I broke out in millions of tiny bumps under the skin and also had red, painful acne all over my cheeks and forehead. I finally went to my derm who gave me a generic version of Benzaclin. I have been using it for 2 weeks and my skin has gotten worse, but this is a GOOD thing, I learned its part of the healing process. The tiny bumps I literally couldnt get rid of are turning into pimples. This medicine has cleaned away what was clogging my pores, making it possible for my skin to purge and heal. Tone and texture is getting better too. Don't be frustrated if it doesn't work asap, your skin needs to push all of that excess dirt/oil out before it can heal! I'm hoping for overall improvement within the next few weeks. Read More Read Less

I have been using this for 2 months now. The first time I used it, my face was a little red and itchy. The next day, back to normal and I haven't had that reaction again. My skin is clear, oil-free and radiant.

This does work, but lately I have been having stomach issues and I am hoping it is not from this yet it seems very much so like it is(if you have read the more serious side effects) I would be careful and do not use to much.

I have been using the generic form of Benzaclin on my face and back. It was extremely difficult to find the generic form. I've been using it for almost a month and have seen no difference in my acne and have ruined several shirts and sheets despite allowing it to dry before putting on a shirt.

I am using the generic version of Benzaclin. I do have the side effects listed on this site of the itching, burning! It hurts and is quite annoying but I am sure it is going to be well worth it, I am using this along with my Retin-A gel and hopefully things will progress to get rid of these under the skin pimples I have had since highschool. Plus the new breakouts now and then..

This product has been amazing at treating my adult acne. I started getting acne as an adult about a year ago and could not find anything that would effectively treat it. It also became painful so I decided to go to the dermatologist. He prescribed Benzaclin and I found relief within two days (my acne was almost completely gone). I have been using it for three months and my skin is now clear.

I am 24 years old and really started breaking out when I was about 20. I have tried everything to help get rid of the acne, and this has been the only thing that has really ever helped me. When not using the medication, I get all types of breakouts (whiteheads, blackheads, under the skin etc.) and once I get my rx refilled and start using this again, I see an almost immediate improvement. The only downside that I have found is that there is no generic of the medication, which would be more cost effective for me. But this works great for me!Read More Read Less

I am 33 years old and started developing acne for the first time when I turned 30. Ive been using this for 2 years and my skin has never looked better. Only downside is its drying so I be sure to use a light moisturizer during the day which relieves the dryness.
