Lily, USA Aug 7th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: easier than using a system such as Proactiv Cons: awkwardly large pill, takes ages to see results Bottom Line: I don't have cystic acne, only whiteheads, but I have a ton of them. sulfa- made my acne the worst its ever been in the 6 years ive had it, but eventually let up. ive yet to see real results, but i'm still hoping. also, the pill is breakable, so split it in half and just take both halves separately- much less pain that way :) Recommended: No Usage: Lily has used this item for a few weeks.

Anonymous, Ohio Aug 2nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I don't know if it worked or not... my skin is almost compleatly clear but i don't know if my cream did most of the work... Cons: HUGE pill! I was scared to down that monster... I'm allergic to it... I broke out into a rash on my stomach, chest and arms (non-inflammatory and it wasn't itchy) I'm hypoglycemic and I felt that the pill made it way worse. Bottom Line: Worth a shot... with my luck of course I was allergic. No big deal though. Try it out enerything works different with everyone. If your hypoglymic and you take this though, it may make it worse( more "episodes" more often) like it did with me. Recommended: No Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 20.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Sarah, WI Aug 1st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: improved the quality of my skin. it feels so much softer. definitely cleared up my skin. worked right away on chest acne. Cons: took FOREVER to work. normally i see results after 3 weeks, and then i'm clear after a month or so. I've been on for about a month and a half and i'm just getting really clear. the pills are huge. i have to take them with apple sauce or yogurt. Bottom Line: It works after a while.

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.

Anonymous, Tx, USA Jul 24th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Cons: Pimples start to come back if i dont take it for a few days. Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

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)
