Martin, Australia Dec 21st, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: The best product I have found for Acne. Has cleared my skin completely been on it for about 2-3 months now. I recommend people to see a derm before your Acne get bad and you end up with scaring. If only I found this product earlier. Cons: Be careful of sun sensitivity. I just make sure i put on a good sunscreen like Clinique Super Defence for oily to oily skin every day. Bottom Line: Great product, go to a derm and find out if it is right for you!

boo, Sask. Canada Dec 2nd, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: works so well! no breakouts the entire time i took it and for months afterwards not a single new spot! i expereinces no side effects at all, just nice skin! : ) oh and free because im in canada! Cons: acne gradually starts to come back...not terrible for me, but after using this product and having PERFECT looking skin i was dissapointed even though my breakouts were relatively minor. Bottom Line: i am 22 and have hormonal acne, so i only breakout on my chin...my derm said antibiotics and Birth control are the best thing for this type of acne so i guess i'll be on and off them untill i'm less sensitive to my hormones! Recommended: Yes Usage: boo has used this item for about a month. Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

loggoog, CA Dec 1st, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Just began taking this med, and hope there will be lots of pros in the follow up! Very cheap with insurance! Cons: Just began, so hopefully I won't experience any. Have heard of all the side effects with Sulfa drugs. I pray to God I don't have a problem with this drug, as I am done going in to the derm saying I am allergic and need a new pill. Bottom Line: I used to be on Minocycline before breaking out into hives. Derm recommended this instead. I have heard all about the side effects of Steven-Johnsons Syndrome and Blood count lowered, and the ever present allergic reaction. I pray I can tolerate this med, and be able to have clear skin again! Recommended: Yes Usage: loggoog has used this item for a day or two. Price Paid: 6.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

David, Birmingham, UK Nov 29th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleared my acne. The best medication I've tried so far. I'm 35 and have suffered from acne since my teens. I've had constant acne and periods of Cons: None so far. Bottom Line: I've had acne since my teens and suffered quite large and uncomfortable breakouts throughout my 20s and 30's. At the worst of times, a day wouldn't go by without a new spot or several spots appearing.Big whiteheads that start deep within the skin...even in my 30s. Just the feeling of that under the skin itching made me feel like life wasn't worth living. I couldn't understand why I was still suffering even into my 30s. A large breakout happened during the spring/summer this year. I was extremely depressed about it. My GP to referred me to a dermatologist. When I saw the dermatologist he didn't want to let me have roaccutane due to my history of depression. I told him that acne was one of the causes of my depression and I doubted roaccutane would make my depression worse but he didn't seem to listen and prescribed this trimethoprim (300mg twice a day). I was pissed off with him for prescribing yet another antibiotic. 3 months in and I'm not getting any spots not even the tiny ones! Recommended: Yes Usage: David has used this item for a few months.

Emily, Chicago, IL Nov 27th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Within days my skin was looking way better, I still got one or two smaller pimples a day, but nothing large like I was getting before, and by day 10 I haven't gotten one in a few days (a HUGE event for me). Cons: Makes me VERY sick - headaches, nausea, dizziness, lightheadedness, my body feels like it's pulsating, I get incredibly cold, I feel tired, depressed... I've tried drinking it with lots of water and eating lots of food, but that only helps a little. Bottom Line: Works great, but the side effects make it terrible. I'd rather live with acne! Right now I'm just taking it at night since it doesn't seem to affect me as badly when I'm sleeping. Recommended: No Usage: Emily has used this item for a few weeks.

Steve-O, Lombard, IL Nov 25th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Only have to take a couple pills a day, fast and noticeable results. Cons: Not the easiest pill to swallow and can leave a bad taste in your mouth and throat Bottom Line: I have tried other prescription treatments and Bactrim worked wonders for my acne (face and back). Along with a good face washing routine and some simple otc face cream (I used persa-gel) I noticed results in about a week, and my face was just about pimple and outbreak free after 3 weeks. Recommended: Yes Usage: Steve-O has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
