    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.

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 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.
