| Pros: | pores smaller |
| Cons: | headache and nausea |
| Bottom Line: | I have only been on this product for 2 days. After reading all these reviews, and trying EVERY acne medicine possible (isn't that everyones story?), I am excited to see how everything will work out. It's only 2 day but I can already notice my pores getting smaller. I do not have cystic acne but I do get about 3 pimples a day. So far, pimples still arriving, but I'm hoping that the medicine is just getting all the bad stuff out. We shall see! I'm going to give it a week and give an update.
(fingers crossed) |

| Pros: | It clears up my skim pretty well. I still get a few pimples here and there, but the meds do kick my break outs in the butt. |
| Cons: | If you stop taking this med the break outs will worsen. Its a med you have to keep up on. |
| Bottom Line: | It works! |

| Pros: | Cleared my acne up greatly and quickly!!! Even after i stopped using it, my acne came back only in small pimples, which was very controlable. |
| Cons: | Very mild skin sensitivity to sunlight. |
| Bottom Line: | If you have bad or even moderate acne, and afraid of harsh side effects of other antibotics such as Accutain, then this stuff is for you!!!! |
| Recommended: | Yes |

| Pros: | The medicine is inexpensive and has low side effects. The other anti-biotics I have taken cause pretty severe sensitivity to the sun, but I did not expereince this with Bactrim. |
| Cons: | I have mild-severe scalp acne. The bactrim does not completely stop break outs, but it does prevent the larger postules from forming. |
| Bottom Line: | There are more powerful anitbiotics available, but they have stronger side effects. Bactrim will probably cure your mild acne problems, but it doesn't perform as well for severe cases. |
