Pros Needless to say, my acne and overall skin condition has improved dramatically. No inital breakout AS OF YET. My fingers are crossed
Cons By using a pea sized amount, no cons to report. Does not necessarily help cure pustules.
Bottom line DO NOT USE THIS IN LARGE AMOUNTS. For all who are complainning that it burns or stings, your using too much. 4 pea sized amounts is all you will need. I recommend this drug.

Pros HONESTLY NONE.
Cons I HAVE BEEN USING THE CREAM FOR OVER 4 MONTHS AND I AM WORSE OFF NOW THEN WHEN I STARTED. THE ACNE BECAME MORE SEVERE AND MY FACE IS DROOLING WITH WHITE PUSS ACNE.
Bottom line WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY FOR ME, BUT YOU HAVE TO TRY OR YOU WILL NEVER KNOW .

Pros I haven't seen any yet
Cons Dries out skin, makes it red and makes my acne worse
Bottom line I'm on Duac, and my Dermatologist decided to have me use the Duac in the morning and the Differin at night. I've been using it for about two weeks and frankly, I haven't seen any improvement in my skin my face has actually gotten worse. If the acne weren't enough, my face is incredibly red and I've got little dry patches all over my face.

Pros Works on mild to medium acne, improves overall skin quality
Cons Initial breakouts and mild redness (not too bad though)
Bottom line This stuff cleared my acne mostly in a few weeks, completely by about 2 or 3 months. It also makes your skin smoother and younger looking because it is a prescription retinoid, without being as harsh as retin-a micro.

Pros Because I have sensitive skin I am using the cream rather than the gels. Using a pea sized amount does not make my skin feel dry, tight, or burned, as other products invariably do.
Cons Have not noticed any improvement - skin has rather worsened.
Bottom line Before using this I used Proactiv for over a year and it worked well, after the initial redness and extreme dryness. I was encouraged and thought (as I am nearly 20) that perhaps my skin did not need Proactiv any longer. So I started using Cetaphil. Hello, acne! I was reluctant to begin Proactiv again because that would require going through the extremely embarrassing redness and dryness phase, so I stuck with Cetaphil and added differin and an antibiotic, Doxycycline to my regimen. Here are the results: My skin is overly pink/slightly red (ugghhh!!) and much more oily than while using Proactiv. I continue to break out in areas that had previously not given me problems. It is extremely discouraging, but I have decided to stick it out until the 3 months have passed (15 more days in my case). If my skin hasn't improved, I'm switching back to Proactiv. Doesn't acne SUCK? Bottom line: stick it out for the 3 months recommended, just so you absolutely know whether or not it works for you.

Pros made skin clearer for the first week
Cons dries out skin along the chin area and breaks you out by the second week.
Bottom line I havent had much experience in this product but I feel like it could work. Sometimes it burns and I wouldnt sugest rubbing your face really hard because then it really burns. Just started using it a few weeks ago but I would suggest because feel like its gonna work.

Pros Not that expensive, but I have drug coverage with my medical plan. I'm using the cream and it feels nice going on and soaks in quickly, doesn't leave face greasy.
Cons I've only been on this for not quite 2 weeks yet. Initial slight stinging the 1st few days. I seem to be breaking out even more, but my dermo said to expect this. I'm using this with a SA face wash and oral amoxicillan.
Bottom line Too early to tell just yet. I'm hopeful, though. (Just embarrassed to be out in public right now!)
