Anonymous, Las Vegas, USA Apr 9th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Gentle, VERY effective at getting rid of redness while it gets rid of acne and makes your skin at the same time look awesome. Cons: I honestly can't think of any...except maybe that it's a pain in the ass having to apply topicals...even though that doesn't really apply to Finacea... Bottom Line: If you need something to rid you of redness and acne this is a must...in conjunction with Benzaclin / Duac this stuff is amazing. In a weeks time you'll see absolute and significant results...but more importantly it makes your skin look new all the time...it's never dull and red... I love Finacea...best product i've used thus far. Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few weeks. Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

kiwi, New Zealand Mar 31st, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Reduces spots and marks left from spots Cons: A bit of stinging a little dryness Bottom Line: I've been using AcneDerm (20% azelaic acid)cream for about 2 months ($15 NZD). Dermatologists use this not only for acne, but for the dark marks left behind on the skin, called post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This is what I've mainly been using the cream for. The good news for those out there who have these marks are that they naturally fade over time, although it can take many months. Azelaic acid helps fade the marks more quickly without bleaching the normal skin around them. I've found it really useful and am very pleased with the results. Other people on this forum haven't got on with it. The important things to remember about any acne medication, is 1.) give it a good run, any product usually takes weeks to work. 2.) if one thing doesn't work for you GO BACK TO YOUR DOCTOR!! There are loads of different products out there and people respond very differently to them, for no apparent reason, so you must persevere untill you find the thing that works for YOU. DON"T GIVE UP!

Bird, St. Pete, FL Mar 28th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: No irritation, skin looks smooth, brown spots from previous acne are begining to fade. Safe to use while pregnant. Cons: Gave me a initial breakout Bottom Line: This med in my opinion works slower than a vitamin A based treatment. I noticed that it shrinks the pimples slowly.

Rick, Fort Wayne, Indiana Mar 25th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works Great! Cons: Slight burning and itchy feeling with the first few dosages... Bottom Line: I would recomend this to anyone who suffers from adult acne. I am a 39 year old male and have tried everything, from OTC to prescriptions, and this works for me. I bought this from a European website which requires no prescription (Skinoren) to buy it, and with less than a week of usage, I am happy! My red spots from previous breakouts are going, and what pimples/cysts I have do not remain like they use to. Try it! Recommended: Yes Usage: Rick has used this item for about a week.

jones, st louis Mar 18th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: seems to work, im now starting to see huge results. Cons: unbearable itching in the begining which seem to have slowed down drastically lately. There is still itching but it last for about 5 minutes no and is not so as intense as before. Bottom Line: I used the product in conjuction with tretinonin( rentin A) and doxycline. I started out with the retin A for about 2 months and really didnt see any good results. After returning to the dermatologist, i was given the antibiotics and azelex. Its been a little over a month now and something is working. My skin feels so smooth, the bumps have slowed down, and my complexion is becoming more even.

Kate Mc, San Diego CA Mar 13th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It did fade my red marks a little bit. Cons: Made my face itch really badly for the first few minutes after application. Like you want to scratch off my whole face. No burning. Itching decreases after a few weeks of daily use. Bottom Line: I used this for 2x a day for 3 months and had zero change in my acne. If anything I think it got a little worse.

Lizzy, New York, NY Mar 1st, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: it seems to work, but ive only been on it for a week.. it also makes my face feel smoother Cons: it does itch at first... but thats about it Bottom Line: ive only used finacea for about a week, so far everything is going pertty good and my skin is gradually clearing. I was a little concerned about using it and almost decided to stop because of all the things about it giving people worse skin, but i figure my skin wouldve broken out already if it was gonna do that. A lot of people used this and liked it a lot, so im hoping i get good results. I used it before and i didnt like it, but that was because i was using it like a spot treatment, just dabbing a little glob on one pimple at a time.... DO NOT DO THIS... it makes your skin really dry and red for about a week in those areas. make sure to rub it in like a lotion on your problem areas... then it will probably work.
