Sukie, London Oct 27th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Made my skin soft and spot free temporarily Cons: I suffered a similar reaction to above at first try, my eyes were swollen, my skin was puffy and my red. Burning painful and dry. I had used it inconjunction with benzoyl per. I stopped using the two together and on its own it was quite good. Bottom Line: Definitely worth looking into skin sensitivity and your skin type before hand. Recommended: No Usage: Sukie has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 25.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Vicky Williams, Portsmouth, United Kingdom Oct 27th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Haven't noticed any yet Cons: Burns slightly and has made my skin worse so far Bottom Line: I'm not completely happy yet as it has made my acne worse so far which is not good. I'm getting more cysts too Usage: Vicky Williams has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 15.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anonymous, Canada Oct 26th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Does clear up acne, but extremely slowly, must be patient Cons: Dries out skin (gone in 2 weeks) Sunburning is easy Bottom Line: From my personal experience with moderate acne, I am going to say differin does work to some extent, once the one month initial breakout has finished its all downhill and you will start to see results. If you have mild acne, differin is right for you. If you have more severe acne, try asking your doc or derm about Minocycline or Accutane. I have been using differin for 7 weeks now, Minocycline for almost a month, and i use Benzoyl Peroxide 5% wash once in the morn and once at night to clear clogged pores. Its working really well.

Aj, Ontario Canada Oct 24th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Hope Oct 24th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Smooth skin, reduces breakouts, gets rid of blackheads!! Cons: Dried out my skin INITIALLY Bottom Line: It works! I was prescribed Differin by my gyno to treat cystic acne on my chin. This is the regimen she prescribed for me... Differin at night and benzoyl peroxide in the morning followed by a moisturizer. She warned me that it would take 3 months to work and that I might experience dryness and peeling. I followed this regimen religiously...it has now been 2 months and here's my verdict so far. My skin was very flaky initially and I would break out every day for a month but these pimples were nothing like those horrible, deep cysts I used to get before. They weren't deep at all and would fade very quickly. The moisturizer really helped quench my skin and the benzoyl peroxide helped dry the breakouts. During the second month my skin adjusted and is totally flake free. I also stopped breaking out. What's happening now is that all the remaining deep rooted cysts are coming to the surface but Im not getting any new cysts! Don't try this unless you're willing to stick it out to the end!

Tamara, Reno, NV Oct 23rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I'm not sure there are any yet. Cons: $250 for a tube! My 15 year old son has been using morning and night consistently together with tetracycline. The first couple of weeks his acne seemed worse. He complained of stinging redness and dryness. Bottom Line: He's been sticking with it, and his skin is moderately better, but definitely not clear. He's on week 8. After paying so much for it, I really want to give it time to work its 'magic'. I'm wondering why dermatologists are so highly recommending it after reading these reviews. Is it because it's a new RX with a hefty price tag? Hmmm. I really hope not. Recommended: No Usage: Tamara has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 250.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Sarah, Green Bay Oct 21st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: None. Cons: No improvement in cystic acne on face after six months of usage. Very costly product. Bottom Line: We used it without an antibiotic, such as Doxycycline or Tetracycline. It cost too much money as no improvement in skin. You would be better off trying some other topical agent that costs less. Disappointed. It used up alot of our insurance money. Recommended: No Usage: Sarah has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 268.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anonymous, Austin, TX Oct 21st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works for the first year for me Cons: Just stopped working after the first year. I used it for 1 and a half more years now I'm quitting Bottom Line: As everyone else said, this product must be used consistently and in the smallest amount. We're talking 3/4 of a pea size and don't rub into the side cracks of your nose because it'll inflame and make it flaky. For me it just stopped working. I use it consistently (every night) and I've been getting this acne patch on my forehead. Despite my good diet and exercise habits. Also be careful what you mix with. I used a glycolic acid anti-aging serum and I flaked so much that I could have filled half a teaspoon per day with my flakes. DISGUSTING. It's also very expensive if you do not have health insurance. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

XL, Shanghai, China Oct 20th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Help to clear up pimples faster. Cons: Doesn't help to prevent new breakouts. Bottom Line: I've been using it for a little more than 4 weeks and I can notice some slight difference.. It does help to clear up my acnes faster but doesn't prevent from getting new ones. I'll stick with it and see what happens in the next 3 months. hopes it works! Recommended: Yes Usage: XL has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
