Derek, Minnesota Sep 9th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: So far...nothing. After using it with Clenia wash I broke out pretty bad. So I stopped using Clenia, and my acne cleared up a little bit, but i've noticed i'm still breaking out worse then when I didn't use prescriptions at all. Cons: Makes my skin feel greasy and oily, makes me break out worse. Bottom Line: To be honest, I might have to wait a little longer, but i'm disappointed so far. I had very light acne, but after going on Rx it's gotten worse. Supposedly marks are supposed to fade...but I feel like they're worse with this stuff. It also makes my forehead and nose oily/greasy. So far i'm very disappointed. I'm going to give it a week and then if it doesn't help i'm going to switch to using just Clenia. Recommended: No Usage: Derek has used this item for about a week.

Kristin, Seattle, WA Sep 8th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works great! I use this at night and Differin in the am and this routine has been for over 10 years. I have still noticed that even with this routine I cannot use a sunscreen during the day on my face without breaking out. I use benz per for this. Cons: The reg cost of this medicine is totally out of control. Thanks for insurance! Itching after I put it on. This has been for 10 years! Bottom Line: I'd like to find something to put on my face that will help me NOT break out if I put on sunscreen (even the non oiliest kind) Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 5.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

Ashley, Maine Aug 28th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: not harsh on your skin different then all the other acne meds! Cons: i have yet to find any, i wish it came in a bigger container! haha Bottom Line: honestly, this is a miracle worker. I feel beautiful again...I had minimal pimples up until the end of my freshmen year of college, i went home, and all of a sudden i burst out in giant welty acne all over my chin, i felt ugly, and it hurt all the time. My dermatologist recommended this other scary med that has alot of side effects, so i opted for Azelex and some antibiotics, and together it was an instant change! Not only have my big bumps gone away, but the scars are slowly going too!!!! YAYY!!! I occasionally get a big one starting, but i put azelex on, and it goes away! In a matter of days!! Its amazing. it really is.... Recommended: Yes Usage: Ashley has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 15.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

Devin, California Aug 14th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

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. Try going to [link removed]>and save some money.

Stacey, Baltimore, Maryland Jul 13th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

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. Recommended: Yes Usage: Stacey has used this item for a day or two. Price Paid: 5.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
