| Pros | My skin began to clear up within a month, by two months my skin is smooth, I have less and less breakouts and old acne has begun to fade. I am now into taking it for my 3rd month and my face has never been clearer |
|---|---|
| Cons | Can't say there are any. |
| Bottom line | I've had acne for 4 years. Its gotten worse and better over the years but my face has never been as clear as it is now (well at least since I had acne). My skin is a lot less oily, it is much clearer and all old acne slowly clears away. Used with aczone cream and microbenz wash |

| Pros | This product really worked wonders for my face. I had absolutely no break outs while on the medication. |
|---|---|
| Cons | allergic reaction to it. |
| Bottom line | Do not take this medication!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was taking this medication for three weeks. On the third week, my entire body broke out with an itchy rash of hives, even the bottom of my feet. I developed vagina itching along with rectum itching. This is no ordinary rash. This type of rash feels like someone is constantly stabbing you with knives and the rash retains heat. Could you imagine your entire body itching at the same time and it last of days? I couldn't even sleep because of the rash. |

| Pros | no more red bumps, blackheads, or cysts! didn't get an allergic reaction |
|---|---|
| Cons | lots of shadows left over on face, no more acne but still not clear. took about a month to show significant improvement. HUGE pill |
| Bottom line | worked much better than mino or tetracycline! definitely recommended but no results right away. everything stayed the same until about a month and then i saw major improvement. still TONS of shadows but at least no more acne! |

| Pros | Seems to work very QUICKLY on moderate-severe cystic (in my case) acne. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Derms don't like to prescribe it for extended periods of time because of the negative effects it can have on your body. That being said, I never experienced any side effects while on it. |
| Bottom line | I've done it all - Minocycline, Doxycycline, Tetracycline, Bactrim, Accutane (3 rounds), Prednisone, Yaz, and am currently taking Spironolactone. After each round of Accutane, my skin would be completely clear for 6-10 months, but eventually, my cystic acne would come back. *Cue any and all other antibiotics.* However, none of the 'cyclines' worked as well as Bactrim did for me. After 2-3 months, my skin looked amazing, but my derm wouldn't refill it-claiming it could have bad side effects on my kidneys/liver (can't remember which). So, I let a few months pass, some of which I barely left my house because my skin was so bad. Finally saw a new derm...now giving Spironolactone a try. |

| Pros | Cleared up my face |
|---|---|
| Cons | big pill |
| Bottom line | Took it for a year straight, cleared up my skin completely, now when I stopped for 4 months, I have a terrible breakout. I get horrible scars and its really discouraging after experiencing clear skin. I started Bactrim again now, but am wondering what effects on my body to take such a strong Abx so long. Im already resistant to Doxy, Mino. So I found something that works, now what... im in my early 30s..... I recommend for anyone who has not had luck with other Abx |

| Pros | Works slightly with high dosage, no bad side effects |
|---|---|
| Cons | Does not work on chest, shoulder or back acne. |
| Bottom line | Have used this for nearly 6 weeks now with little improvement and have even increased my dosage to taking 6 double strength pills per day. Anybody who is taking this for body acne is definitely better off skipping this and going straight to Accutane. |
| Recommended | No |

| Pros | Eventually works with a high dosage. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Takes a while to work. Doesn't cure acne, just controlls it. |
| Bottom line | It made acne significantly worse for the first month of taking it. Increased dosage to 6 double strength pills a day and the acne has finally begun to calm down on chest and face. |
| Recommended | Yes |
| Acne severity | severe |
