I have black skin and my results with the product have been mixed. I have been on benzaclin on and off for a little over a year. When I started using it, I was amazed! The drying effect of the product did wonders to eliminate my super oily skin and removed every sign of acne I had. However, after about three months, the product seemed to stop working. The oil started to return slowly, then I was attached by a rage of tiny hard pimples and blackheads all over my face and the area under my chin. I had never had anything like this happen before. My skin got progressively darker, such that my face and neck were about 2 shades darker than my chest and shoulders. I was a mess! The pimples had a quick turnover - it only took about 2 days for them to get hard, dry up and leave black scars in their wake. I stopped using Benzaclin, but the battle raged on. I tried over the counter stuff, but nothing worked. After 2 months of the shame and insecurity of such horribly battered skin, I reluctantly returned to Benzaclin. The little bottle of wonder worked again...for about 3 months, and here I am again in the same place. One word to describe where I am...Frustrated!
