So far this has been working really well for me in conjunction with oxytetracycline tablets. I no longer get any pustules, just little papules and little whiteheads around my mouth.

Tried this for around three months and it did absolutely nothing for me. One of the worst products i have tried.

It seems to work partly on my acne by deflating some acne, not all. I still encounter breakouts in various locations.

It does not clear out my acne because I have noticed that if Differin deflate an acne, I will get a new acne next to or near by the deflating acne. That does not help me much in a war against acne. In a mean time, I continue obeying the instruction of what to do on a daily routine that is defined by my Dermotologist.

My copay is $40.00 with insurance and one tube lasts about three months.

Works good on clearing up acne and deflates spots wonderfully. My problem is that in the day my skin is really greasy (more than before) - I shine. Perhaps its cleared my pores so much that my oil just ooozes out.
