Pros:Easy to apply
Cons:The more i started using it, i started breaking out more and my acne looked darker. It was really hard to cover it up.
Bottom Line:I'm trying everything. The doctor said i should be on Accutane, or to try this birth control but I'm kind of scared using them. I'm not sure if i'm using it wrong, i just gave up using Clindamycin. I'm going try to start using it again, and give it some patience. The first two days, it was doing okay and than more pimples started to arise.
Usage:Marie has used this item for about a week.
Price Paid:52.00
Acne severity:moderately severe

Pros:this is the best stuff. Wash with cetaphil then apply a thin layer over your face...twice a day...takes about 2-3weeks to work. All of my daughters acne is gone..(she has cystic acne) she had no itching, redness, or reactions what so ever.
Cons:none at this point
Bottom Line:Try it!!.. it takes longer, but works and the gel is the best, keeps skin soft - no drying. Her scars are fading and she has had no new breakouts since starting this
Recommended:Yes

Pros:Helps clear acne without causing dry patches or irritation.
Cons:Can't think of any.
Bottom Line:My mom reccommended this treatment because I've tried using just about EVERYTHING such as Differin, ProActiv, Murad etc. I began breaking out alot on my forehead and this really helped clear it. I use it once a day every night after my skin care regimen and I don't know what I would do without this! This has got to be my holy grail acne treatment.
