| Pros | it didnt dry out my face like most other topicals do and it also is invisible when you put it on. |
|---|---|
| Cons | it didnt work what-so-ever. it made my face more oily, especially at night. i'd wake up the next day with such oily skin. it doesnt get rid of blackheads which was what i told me dermatologist i wanted to do in the first place and i still broke out. |
| Bottom line | i dont recommend this to anyone who has a more oily skin with blackheads. it just doesnt get to the root of the problem like its designed to do. it just makes you break out more due to the stress of its inability to do the job. |

| Pros | Rids the red pimples; prevents new breakouts; lightens old healed pimple scars. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Itches for first 5-10mins but goes away. |
| Bottom line | Got rid of my forehead and all breakouts; had to get off of birth control pills cause i'm trying to get pregnant---the BCPs kept my skin beautifully clear for many years. Azelex helped me a whole lot!!!! |

| Pros | AMAZING at reducing redness and has a nice, matte texture unlike most topical medications |
|---|---|
| Cons | Made my extremely oily skin much oilier, however as the oil would usually turn my fair skin hot and red as the day went on, this gel kept it incredibly light. Didnt seem to stop acne whatsoever. |
| Bottom line | I was using 2.5% bp and had been for years. I recently stopped bcp and started getting big cysts and pimples on my jawline and chin. The derm gave me an rx for finacea, to try something new. I then stopped the bp completely to use the finacea instead. The first few days were amazing! My face hadn't had such a fair, lovely glow to it since before I was a teen. I couldn't believe what a miracle gel it was. It burned only slightly for the first 5 mins, but nothing intolerable. However, day after day I began breaking out more and more and telling myself it was a "purging" stage. But it continually got worse and the finacea was doing nothing to stop the acne! Finally I realized that I should never have stopped the BP so suddenly. I don't know know how much the finacea contributed to or just didn't stop the breakout, but I had to stop it. I do, though, def recommend this to try. It could be a wonderful topical for some, just not for me! On a separate note: DONT stop bp cold turkey!!! |

| Pros | This stuff definitely seems to dissolve the clogs in the pores on my forehead and I haven't had any big pustules or cysts since starting it. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Dries my face out horrendously after application, followed by an oil slick that Exxon would be proud of a few hours later. Burns and itches like mad, especially after I've shaved. Does absolutely nothing to prevent small zits on my chin and nose. |
| Bottom line | As far as getting rid of my acne, this stuff is on the borderline of not working and making it worse. It also seems to exacerbate my oily skin problem and redness (caused by the acne that it doesn't kill). |

| Pros | It really helped clear up my acne, and my face feel a lot more moisturized. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It does itch at fiirst, and it doesn't get rid of blackheads |
| Bottom line | When I first used this product it itched! Insnaly bad but I stuck with it and I have had AMZING results. It really helped clear my acne up, and it really doesn't itch that bad once you get used to it. I think this is the longest I have been able to use and get results from an acne product. |

| Pros | This stuff works much better than all the other topicals products I have tried |
|---|---|
| Cons | mild itching and flaking- can be lessened by cutting back a bit and then resuming |
| Bottom line | I have tried retinoids, salicylic acid, bp, duac, and various home rememdies like tea tree and apple cider vinegar. This is the only product that I can really recommend as something that works fast, effectively, and is well tolerated i really recommend trying this |
