| Pros: | I have rosacia and this product in one week made my skin more clear, took out the red and is very smooth. |
| Cons: | It can sting and itch for the first 15 minutes after applied, but I read that will subside in time once your skin gets used to the product. |
| Bottom Line: | I highly recommend this to anyone with rosacia or acne. It seems to work wonders for me and now that I have trid it and see very good results will continue to use it on a daily basis. It also gives your skin a more youthful appearance. So, it has an anti ageing affect too!!!
Great stuff! |

| Pros: | Reduces red spots and lightens hyperpigmentation also helps with acne |
| Cons: | none |
| Bottom Line: | I have been using Azelex acid, Retin A Micro, Tetracycline, and BenzaClin for severe acne and scaring. First I started just using the Retin A Micro and it helped but not enough so my docter put me on Benzaclin and I was on this skin regimine for 3 months. However I was still unhappy so my docter put me on Tetracycline and my skin texture changed to "baby soft" and acne cleared up on my face, back and chest. I felt like a new person. Then I noticed I was left with no acne but ugly scars and red icky dots all over my face so I was put on Azelex acid and I have been on this for about a month. My skin looks ten times better. Scaring and redness is improving and with time and lots of time it will be all better. |

| Cons: | Dont use it on un-affected skin. Will discolor slightly. |
| Bottom Line: | It works. |
| Recommended: | Yes |

| Pros: | My skin looks much younger and healthier now. Far fewer pimples, improved over-all appearance. Short list of very manageable side effects. |
| Cons: | Itching directly after application - wannt to scratch my face off. |
| Bottom Line: | My skin looks much younger and healthier now. I still get the occasional pimple, but my over-all skin tone is very much improved. I recently had surgery on my nose, (about 4 months ago) and the scar has completely disappeared - the doctors couldn't even find it when I went in for a follow up - this was an inch-long scar running straight up and down my nose, complete with stitch scars on either side! I am very pleased. Wish I could skip the itching, though... |

| Pros: | It works on my acne, makes my skin look much better in general. |
| Cons: | None for me, other than I have to see a doctor every year to get it. When I started using it 10 years ago, I remember it being a little itchy, but that was it. |
| Bottom Line: | I have moderate cystic acne, and this is the only thing that has ever helped it. Occasionally, I have not used it, and the acne always comes back. I always try OTC meds before I give up and go back to it. |

| Pros: | Lightens redness(VERY fast),reduces
inflamation |
| Cons: | A little itchy at first |
| Bottom Line: | I think it's just totally awesome. All
around my hairline I started breaking out,
really bumpy, but with Evoclin and Finacea
It's pretty much gone. But if you have
seasonal wheat or grass allergies(like me),
it can be really itchy at first, 'cause
azelaic acid is found in wheat and barley. |

| Pros: | relieved redness, Cleared breakout, Lightened red scars |
| Cons: | Cant think of any |
| Bottom Line: | This stuff works. I was on accutane a few years ago which worked very well but i now break out again(not as bad though) Skinoren really helped without the dryness and irritation that other topicals gave me. Iv been told from my derm not to use it for longer than 6 months though which is a downer!! |
