Jawad, Jerusalem Sep 29th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

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. Recommended: Yes Usage: Jawad has used this item for an inconsistent period of time. Price Paid: 5.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

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 Recommended: No Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a year. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Seia, Houston, TX Sep 11th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

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. Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 5.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful?

Mandy, ATL GA Sep 3rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Kimmy Sep 2nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Brilliant stuff cleared up my skin completely in a few weeks. No spots or whitehead. Everyone should stop complaining about the size of the pill. It's worth it for skin so clear!! Cons: None Bottom Line: In only taking half a pill a day and still clear! Recommended: Yes Usage: Kimmy has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

halina, Delaware Sep 1st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: With insurance, this antibiotic is cheap. Cons: It's been over a month and it hasn't changed my breakouts in any way. It's also a huge pill -- slightly bigger than those women's one-a-day multivitamins. And it's uncoated, so it doesn't go down very smooth. Bottom Line: Different anti-b's work for different people, and I don't think this one is working for me. The doc has me on it for two months, so there's still some time left -- but you're going to be fairly disappointed if you're looking for quick results with this one. I had better results on doxycycline back in college -- but the side effects were nasty (nausea + yeast infections!). At least with this one, I can't say I've had any nausea or yeast infections! Just MAKE SURE to actually drink a full glass of water after taking it. Recommended: No Usage: halina has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anonymous, Atlanta, GA Aug 21st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleared up Acne in no time. I have tried EVERYTHING (minocin, birth control pill, Doxycycline, tetracycline, you name it I have tried it.... including Accutane. My Obgyn prescribed this for me and it has been a GODSEND! Cons: Pill is a little big but the pros outweigh the cons Bottom Line: I live in the south and this is one of the drugs that is free from ourr grocery store. So I don't pay ANYTHING to take it! Gotta love that. If you have tried EVERYTHING else and nothing seems to work....give this drug a shot. Recommended: Yes Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
