Acne Treatment Reviews

What is BenzaClin?

Most people at some time in their life will experience the hassle of getting acne. The severity of the “breakouts” and the way people handle it will vary. Not all acne treatments work the same and there is no one product that will be a cure universally. The key to discovering which treatment is right for you is to understand your level of severity and then determine how powerful a product you need. BenzaClin is a prescribed acne treatment medication that combines clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide. When these two are mixed together they are considered a topical antibiotic. Clindamycin is considered an antibiotic and benzoyl peroxide works as an antibacterial. Together they work to kill the bacteria that causes acne.

Are there any side effects?

Some of the more common side effects that you may experience are dry skin, itchiness, or peeling or redness of the skin. You may also develop a sensitivity to the sun and sun exposure should be limited while taking this medication. It is true that the likelihood of experiencing on or more of these side effects are common in most acne treatments, but because of the potency of this product the chances might be slightly higher. There is the chance of experiencing more serious side effects such as severe diarrhea, painful stomach cramps or stomach pain, blood or mucus in the stool, or a fungal infection in which you would see changes in your skin or nails. These side effects are rare but should always be reported to your physician.

How much is BenzaClin?

You’re looking at around $99.63 for a 25 gm jar of BenzaClin. You can buy up to 6 jars (with a prescription) for around $567.89, which is only a $30 saving when you buy 6. On the website there are offers to let insured patients buy this product for only $20 (an $80 saving) or an opportunity for cash-paying patients to save $25 on their next order. Unfortunately this is done through rebates which are known to often be unreliable and hassling, but its better than nothing. These prices also come with no money back guarantee.

Pros

• A powerful combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide that may help with even severe cases of acne

Cons

• May take up to 10 weeks to see improvement
• Relatively expensive for a skin treatment
• Only available with a doctor’s prescription
• May bleach your hair or colored fabrics
• High chance of experiencing one or more of the listed side effects

Is BenzaClin worth buying?

If we’re being honest, the simple answer would be no. The reason being that this product seems far too expensive for the results you will likely see. Yes, this product is powerful and yes, this product will most likely help with you acne problems but the bottom line is that there are many different acne treatments out there that have those same capabilities without breaking the bank. The average user won’t see results for 2-10 weeks but will most likely start to see the adverse side effects much sooner. Unfortunately there’s just not enough science to prove the effectiveness of BenzaClin to justify the price.
