It is Benzaclin and it actually started working after the first freaking night for me.

You can look right at my face now and see NO ACNE ... not a bit at all and I always had something going on with the face or around the hairline. The Dr. said dab it on the spots but now i use thin coating all over my face about everyother night just as a precaution.
It was prescribed and my insurance covered it all but $20.......the regular price is $168 for a little tiny jar and it take about 6 weeks for me to use up the jar. |
Don't you have to keep that stuff in the fridge? It does work well to get rid of breakouts. I have sensitive skin, though, and it really made mine dry and chapped.
Something else that REALLY works but cost some $$$ is Beta Chemical Peels. Either a dermotologist or an anesthitician (sp?) can do these. I got 1 a week for 6 weeks right before my wedding and WOW! I would do these things all the time if I had the money. They are great to "jump start" your acne treatment if your face is broken out badly. The peels really clean out your pores and that way when you start using the acne medication it can really works to prevent the zits instead of having to get rid of them first. These Beta peels are different from Glycolic peels in that they don't hurt and they don't actually make your face peel. I LOVE them!
