: : Has anyone heard of benvamycin? i think thats how you spell it...its a topical cream for the face....i would like to know more but i think i got the wrong spelling. Thanks

: Hi, yes, I was on Benzamycin for 3 months. I didn't see much improvement off of it. I had to put it on in the mornings which cause me to be so flakey I couldn't put on makeup. My derm took me off of it last month. It may work for you, but for me it really did nothing. Good luck :)

benzamycin didn't work well for me either. it will only dry up your skin and make it flaky especially in the cold weather. it didn't help much with the acne. it will leave a white powdery film on your face so it's best to apply it at bedtime. also, the cream has to be refrigerated.
