AWB, Los Angeles Jul 30th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: works. no side effects. Bottom Line: I suffered with acne, on my back and face, from the ages of 16 through 25. It became so severe and painful on my back, I went to a doctor. He said it was very bad and that I needed Acutane and that should see a dermatologist for it. I went to a demermatologist and he asked me if it was ever treated. I told him no and he gave me Bactrim. The acne was almost gone after a week and completely gone after 2 weeks. It flared up agian a little a year later and I took another 2 weeks of it. It hasn't come back in over 20 years.

Danielle, Iowa Jul 21st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I loved this medicine. I did alot for my skin and confidence. It works really really well. I used to get those cystic zits and little ones too. I tried birth control first, then pro active, then tetracycline, then bactrim. Cons: that you can become resistant to the medication, and also there is a chance of liver/kidney damage. Bottom Line: its a great medication to get rid of acne, i've been taking it for about 3 years off and on, only so that i do not become resistant to it, my skin has actually improved and i don't need to take as many pills or as often, i only start to take it if i notice more outbreaks or before a big event so i can make sure my skin is clear for my vacation or whatever. Recommended: Yes Usage: Danielle has used this item for an inconsistent period of time. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful?

Erin, NY Jul 21st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: In 2 weeks see a HUGE difference. Redness goes away within a week. No new breakouts. Cons: None. I didnt get any side effects thank god so don't be afraid to take it. Bottom Line: Definitely try it! It is still working for me! I am also using epiduo which is a topical cream and that helps A LOT too , so ask ur derm!

Michelle, Los Angeles Jul 17th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleared up my skin VERY quickly. Cons: Had a negative side effect on my anemia. Bottom Line: I had terrible back/face acne for about 2 years. I tried everything. Bactrim cleared up my face very quickly and left my skin feeling smooth. Not for people who have anemia, like my case, because it can dangerously lower platelets. Once I stopped using Bactrim though, I ended up back to where I started. Just a bit less severe. Recommended: Yes Usage: Michelle has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 5.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anonymous, washington, dc Jul 16th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Worked effectively in the beginning Cons: Not a perfect solution Bottom Line: I am 44 and had a cystic breakout a year and a half ago that was more severe than anything I'd had in my teens/twenties. This acne is also causing some (minor) scarring. I take two pills a day (am/pm), but am also concerned on the long term effects of Bactrim and my liver (especially if you drink alcohol, like me!). It definitely helped for the first year but I'm now experiencing the same level of acne as before I started taking the medication.

Aldora, Massachusetts Jul 14th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It deffinetly works. It gets rid of acne. Forever? No. Cons: I have used this product for... 4-5 months I'd say. It's great if you want immidiate clear skin. But it can cause liver problems and is not something you can take forever. Bottom Line: I STRONGLY advise if you decide to take this that you ontinue to do acne research and start a natural way of getting rid of acne. Bactrim will help it but the moment you stop you are back to where you started. This is a good medicine to take temporarily and not forever. I have recently stopped and let my natural regimen take over by taking fish oil, zinc, and vitamen B. THIS is a cure you can take to the moment you die and might actually make you live longer! It helps with your heart! Please dont rely on this product fully it is just something to give you some self confidence but you need to think of a future regimen. Don't rely on antibiotics, you dont want to kill your liver and perhaps worse. Recommended: Yes Usage: Aldora has used this item for a few months.

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 Recommended: Yes Usage: Alexander has used this item for a few months.
