Just like some of the other people on here, I used it when I first broke out at the age of 14 and it worked wonders! I loved it! It completely cleared me up, but yes I became immune to it so I am still struggling at 22 years old. But the funny thing is that I'm back on it because it has been 7 years since I've been on it and my dermatologist says that I shouldn't be immune to it! It's been only a couple weeks & I see no improvment!

The little packets did nothing for me, in fact they made my skin worse. But I am now on the lotion and while it is a gradual improvement, my skin is looking and is really feeling much better. It says it takes up to three months to see results, so I'd say to stick with it if you're frustrated. It is a bit greasy so the guys might not like it as much, but girls, if you wear makeup, you'll be fine, and it actually acts like a moisturizer.

I used it when I was 18 and it cleard my face like nothing else. I had geourgeous skin after that. However, I stopped using it for awhile and my acne came back. Now I have been on it for 14 days and have not noticed an improvement. I am worried that I have become immune to it and am looking for other options. If you have never used it before, you are probably not immune, and it will probably do wonders for your. Originally it cleared ALL my acne and made my face look healthy and clean. I loved it.

Hey I tried this for over 2 months, it somewhat cleared up my face. But it made my skin dry, especially my butt and penis. It caused major itching of the testicles. I got off that and now my doctor has me on Minocycline which is even worse.
