Pros I've only used it for a few days, but it seems to be working well.
Cons I get a bad reaction to benzoyl peroxide, but the small amount in this hasn't created any negative effects yet.
Bottom line I purchased Skinoren online from a different country which is the same thing as Azelex in the U. S. with 20% Azelaic acid in a topical cream.

I've been reading people saying that they're spending upwards of $100 dollars on this.
I only payed $24 which included shipping for a 30g tube.

Pros Pro's It came highly recommended. My first application was today.

Bottom line I will write back and let you know if it worked!

Pros A miracle drug! Works FAST! One application took my skin from a hot crazy mess to almost clear! Tighter pores, vanishing pimples, just an overall reversal of many types of acne. It kills acne on your face, instantly!
Cons None so far
Bottom line There's no need to suffer the daily misery of bad skin when this drug is available! I'm almost 39 and had never experienced such terrible outbreaks. My Dr. rx'd finacea and within one application, my husband noticed my skin was "pretty, the way it used to be". This is a miracle drug that treats hormonal break-outs and all sorts of acne. I was able to attend a party that I had declined because I was too embarrassed for people to see my skin. I can't believe one gel can accomplish all that it does. I've used all sorts of treatments and this is BY FAR, the best! My skin was a sickening, grotesque mess from my hairline all the way down to my neck and finacea radically changed it in one application. My entire face was full of acne, all kinds: whiteheads, blackheads, cysts, redness, bumps. Finacea knocked it out w/one punch. I'm still shocked. Finacea is amazing. I haven't had skin like this since I was eleven years old. I'm so thankful.

Pros my skin looks amazing. I tried differin, the pill, and several other thing before and they didn't do a darn thing.
Cons It does burn. I started using it just once a day or every other day and I use it sparingly and this has helped. Don't just slather a bunch on... it'll most likely burn and irritate your skin!
Bottom line Fantastic. my skin has never looked better.

Pros My skin looks 3times better than before
Cons Sometimes very itching and irritating.
Bottom line I have found that now when i wash my face is cold water before applying that it helps with the burning, most people wash with warm water leaving the pores open and more prone for burning.... My skin looks great I kid you not I have tried everything and even the dark spots are disappearing. I use this in conjunction with a glycolic toner from Dr. Milton Moore in Houston TX... It helps trust me... Get any glycolic product and use during day WOW is all I can say

Pros Worked well for acne scars, and wearable under makeup. Didn't make my face oily like clindamycin. Definitely noticeable decrease in breakouts.
Cons Does dryout skin a bit and definitely does make the sensitive areas of my face itch like crazy, but the results are worth it.
Bottom line I have dual prescription coverage so I try a lot of different remedies for my acne, I really liked the azelex because it helped my oil control as well as the acne and acne scars. it may be expensive if you don't have good insurance but I think it's worth it.

Pros Keeps my chest clear and bacne under control.
Cons My face is very sensitive so it made my face itch like crazy!!! It was so irritating that I had to wash it off immediately. My back acne isn't clear but is much better than before, and I haven't had a break out on my chest in more than a year.
Bottom line My face was too sensitive for it, but it's effective for my chest and back.
