I started this medication when I was a teenager, about 12/13 years old. At the time, I had bad acne; red bumps all over my face. However, once my dermatologist prescribed me Benzaclin, I saw AN IMMEDIATE change. My face was clear! Suddenly, people were complimenting me on my flawless skin. I loved the way the product worked. I did not see many cons with the product until about the second year that I was using it. Gradually, my skin became EXTREMELY dry to a point that no lotion would help me. Also, I was scared to stop the Benzaclin and have horrible acne once again. After the dryness, I noticed my acne was starting to come back again. Now, almost 3 years on the medication, my acne comes back periodically. However, it is no way NEAR how bad it was when I was in my teens. Sadly, I am off the medicine and trying Retin-A Micro. Hopefully, I will get the clear skin I have so wanted for all of my life. For anyone wondering if they should try Benzaclin, I recommend talking it over with your dermatologist. They know skin best, and they know what they are doing! Tell them your fears and they can prescribe you a medication that will be perfect for your needs.
