Brooke, Vancouver Oct 5th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Looks good so far. I have struggle with acne for 5 years and I am very self conscious about what I look like. So far my face looks pretty good. Cons: None yet Bottom Line: If you have tried everything else and don't want to go down the accutane path then I would recommend trimethoprim. Recommended: Yes Usage: Brooke has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 4.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anonymous, Buffalo, NYS Oct 5th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: None so far Cons: Unbelievable allergic reaction. Sore throat, rash, itchyness especially around my eyes, neck and genetil area. Definitely got the flu symptoms. Bottom Line: I took it for 5 days and had the most severe allergic reaction. Never had an allergic reaction before. Went off it and the doctor prescribe Predisone to combat the reaction. Suddenly my skin was perfect. I suffered from alot of whiteheads / black heads and large pimples. Then a week later my skin went bad. Doctor prescribed Doxy and then my skin went worse. Monocycline does not work for me. Doctor then said try the Bactrim again and the reaction has been less, still get the sore throat and flu symptoms, sore lower back (kidney's) and some itching. I have been on it for 5 days now and have not seen any diference except the side affects. Personally I don't recommend this product and I am thinking of taking Accutane now cause nothing works!!! Recommended: No Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 5.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Brandon, Wisconsin Oct 4th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

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. Recommended: Yes Usage: Brandon has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 12.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Kayla, Pennsylvania Sep 29th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

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. Recommended: Yes Usage: Kayla has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

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)
