Pros Meh
Cons Full of sketchy chemicals, ineffective.
Bottom line This seemed to only exacerbate things, and might have given me a bit of bacne as well. I've never had bacne before, and since taking this I've had cysts all over the place. I'm not quite sure why that would happen, but hey.
Price paid $67,950.00

Pros Started to work really quickly, cleared up things nicely without any dryness.
Cons Its hell if you forget to eat something before you take it. worst stomach ache of your life. plus after using it for a year it stopped working.
Bottom line worked awesome at first, then slowly died after a while.

if you do start to take it, make sure you take EVERY recomended dose, the pills you miss does make a huge difference. and ALWAYS, ALWAYS eat something before taking it!

Pros I only have been using it for 16 days and I have noticed some improvement. I was put on just Tazaroc over two and a half months ago and it was helping but not quick and efficient enough for me.
Cons none so far
Bottom line I went back to my derm and she put me on doxycycline along with Tazorac. Within the past 2 weeks I have seen an improvement but I make sure i put on Cetephil cream after applying my Tazorac at night. If you do not apply a moisturizer you will peel and be really red and dry. Im hoping after a month this stuff really kicks in!!
Price paid $0.50

Pros does not make acne worse before it gets better,
helps skin clear up pretty fast
Cons upsets stomach
Bottom line I have been using doxycycline along with a topical clindamycin for a little under two weeks and i am already seeing a lot of imrovement. It definatley reduces the size of your pimples and the number of ones you have. It is no miracle product but it hs definatley helped out a lot

Pros Starts working fast
No side-effects
Not time-consuming
Cons None, that stuff about stomach pain etc is all BS. Just take it with 2 full glasses of water after dinner and youll be fine.
Bottom line Ive been on it for 4 weeks now and ive kept track of how many pimples ive gotten. I was amazed. I now havent gotten any new pimples for a week.
But hey you never know maybe itll come back and i just have 4 lucky weeks.
Btw im using this in combination with Tretinoin, try it, worked best for me so far.

Pros Starts quickly
Cons Disgustingly dry skin, your spots come back as soon as you come off it.
Bottom line I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. I was on it for 2 weeks and came off it cos the side effects were crap. And now, my acne is about 5 times as bad as it was before, now it's probably severe rather than mild. Why go on this if you know that in the long-term, you'll be back to square one?
