Pros Works fast and stops oil build-up and especially white heads. A topical compliments it very well such as differin. I'm very pleased.
Cons Possible medication interaction and liver safety concerns. Some dryness and possibly more susceptabilty to ingrown hairs.
Bottom line A great alternative to the seriousness of accutane. Truly a life saver for those who find other remedies useless.

Pros Over 50% of my acne cleared up in the first week! It keeps getting better everyday! This is the only thing that has actually worked for me. Forget Differin, you need this.
Cons None so far
Bottom line If you think there's no cure for your acne, think twice. This actually works.. You'll love it as much as I do no double about it.

Jawad from Jerusalem

Pros Works fast, and effectively. Withing a few days my acne went down, didnt make me sick, don't see much sun sensitivity
Cons Unsure about the long-term side effects. I have taken this before, and remember my acne becoming kind of resistant to it after a year.
Bottom line Great product to cure the problem temporarily, however it does a lovely job. Known in Israel as Depsyl Forte, and don't let some arrogant doctor try to tell you that you can't take it cause it's not for acne.

Pros It clears you up.
Cons ..but for most people who have had consistent acne it will come back after you get off it (within 4 months)...So you'll then have to decide if you want to get back on it or if you want to mess with Accutane
Bottom line so yeah it's good...but it's not a long-term fix

Pros Cleared up my moderate and cystic acne. I've taken it for 2 years. It's been a god sent, I'm no longer self conscience about my face.
Cons I wonder how long I can stay on this med. My doctor is trying to lower my dosage, but the acne starts to creep up again.
Bottom line It's been a god sent, I'm no longer self conscience about my face. It also has an extra benefit for me. I no longer get painful boils on my body. All in all, I highly recommend looking into it.

Pros great for my face , i have been using for over a year and i love no side effects. Keeps any break out from getting out of control.
Cons The size !!!!!. If i don't get down on the first try it starts to dissolve and taste nasty.
Bottom line Great for acne , as long as you don't suffer from any of the side effects
