I have been using it for 2 weeks, tried everything before, so far this works much better than all the other stuff i tried (except Erythromycin + Zinc; that completely cleared my face, first time in 25 years, but after 3 month my skin got used to it and it stopped working; since then i don`t try antibiotics any more, my doctor said if i become immune for more antibiotics he will not be able to give me anything if i really need it). So Skinoren (20%) is really nice so far, you guys talk about itching but i have extremely oiliy skin and i swear i do not feel anything when i put it on. My only problem is that it does not soak in at all, so when i go to sleep my face still feels oily (partner does not appreciate it) and after i put it on in the morning i can hardly put any make-up on top. But definitely does work.

I have had acne for 20 years and this is the first topical cream that has ever worked for me. It is amazing how it has cleared up my acne and made my complexion look smooth. Great product! I wish I would have known about it years ago!

I have "tricky" acne and this was my last thing to try before accutane. I have used it for about 5 months in addition to erythromycin (again) and it seemed to work okay for about 3 months. I still had a breakout every now and then. Then all of a sudden about 2 months ago it totally stopped working. I've had the worst breakouts that I've had since I was in high school (8 years ago)!! I have so many nodules it isn't even funny. It seems like the whiteheads are joining forces below my skin to create huge zits! Maybe it is just me, but it doesn't seem to fix anything, just put off the inevitable for a few months.

Azlex was awful! I took it for 3 months and it only made my face worse. I also took it with Duac and my face has never looked this bad in my life. I thought middle school acne was bad, you should see me now I look like a monster! I would never recommend these meds for any one, unless I don't like you.

This product does wonders for redmarks, you just have to give it a month or so. I haven't really noticed if it's controlling breakouts because i'm already using something for active acne. The only downside to this is, if taken with another acne product, it can seriously burn and itch almost to the equivalent of having a chemical peel so I only use it every other day. Even when i wasn't using the other acne product, it itched a lot.

It worked well at first but after a week or so my skin soon went back to its original state and feels too irritating. It itches like crazy everytime I apply it. One good point is that it doesn't make my skin flaky and dry.

I've been using Azelex for2 weeks now and have seen some improvement in whiteheads. I sill continue to get pimples but hopefully this will become less often as I continue. I plan to give it the 6 weeks but if I'm no more satisfied than I am now I will be asking for a different medication. The best thing about Azelex is that it doesn't irritate my skin or make it dry and itchy at all which is amazing to me because I have very sensitive skin!

Itchy.. a little strange under make-up, I use it only in the morning, and differen gel at night.. somethings working, and my face isnt peeling off! It really is a little itchy, but thats much better than painful acne, I'm gonna stick with it for a while, so far so good!!

I've used it about 4 months.
I don't like wearing it at night. It is irritating. I feel like i can't put my face on the pillow if i do wear it. It doesnt seem to soak in - it makes my skin feel waxy. Also, and this may be incidental as it is summer over here, i think it makes my face sweat.
I wear it in the day time, unless it's really sunny out. In terms of effectiveness - I don't rate it.
Price - everything is the same, just the nhs prescription charge, so i can't comment really.
Anyhow - all you can do is try it a few months and see how it works for you. Evidently there are a few people who have benefited, just i'm not one of them.

I have been using Azelex for 3 weeks now and my acne is worse than it was when I started. It seems to help prevent new lesions on an already clear area of skin but doesn't seem to do anything for an already infected area. In fact I have many new lesions now that weren't there before and more on the way. It burns slightly, itches like crazy and has a drying effect on the skin.
