| Pros | easy to use, unlike creams that will make your face look like fish scales |
|---|---|
| Cons | takes time, if i stop it zits apear, still some red spots, i hope i do not build a tolerance to it because even after 6 months i think it might stop working |
| Bottom line | results are worth it |
| Price paid | $2.00 |

| Pros | Seems to help with cystic acne after about 3-4 weeks. |
|---|---|
| Cons | As with everyone else, upset stomach if not taken with food. You need to hydrate more than normal while on this. |
| Bottom line | I take this to aid in the recovery of steroid induced acne. I had it pretty bad when I came off my cycle and I tried everything known to man. Proactiv, 10% Benzoil Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, Tanning beds and the sun, detox teas, etc and nothing helped. This seems to have made it worse before it started to get better, but I can see an improvement. It is making the acne that is clogged deep in my pores, surface (that is the worse before better aspect). It takes roughly 3-6 weeks for it to start working, but everyone is different. Once it is built up into the system, then it does start to work. The bad thing is that you will build a tolerance and it will stop working, that is why it needs to be ran in cycles throughout the year in order to be effective. |

| Pros | It seems to have worked a little, but doctor said it would take about a month to start working, trust me, I'm so excited to see what happens then! I'm almost there! |
|---|---|
| Cons | A little crampy, stomach bug has been going around here anyway, so not sure if the upset stomach is from it or the med. like everyone else says causes it. Just a pain to take 2 a day every day, but hopefully it will be worth it. |
| Bottom line | I have had bad acne since about 13 and I am 27 now. I hate being a mother at 27 and also having to deal with acne! I think I have a really good doctor who knows what is going to work for me, and so I hope that it does! I've tried the proactive and it helped like wonders for about 50 days and then BOOM, allergic reaction to it that caused a horrible red itchy, patchy rash all over my face. Hopefully this doesn't do the same. I've tried many other things and I am just tired of trying things and so I really hope I have found my life saver this time! Good luck to the rest of you! I know how horrible a feeling acne can be! Just remember, you ARE beautiful inside and OUT! |

| Pros | Worked for around 5-6 months, was overjoyed at the results. Have never experienced any side effects from using it. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Came back after 6 months, slowly built up to being worse than before. Now taking 2 per day but to no avail. Will be consulting doctor for something stronger... acne is a burden I can't bear any more and i'm sure others feel the same at some point. |
| Bottom line | I would take it as a first resort to get rid of it but as soon as acne starts to reappear see your Doc and make him aware it's reappearing. I haven't as I thought upping the dose as my obvioulsy unlearned Doc said would clear it. I have read on here what I thought myself... IT WORKS FOR A BIT, THEN STOPS OUT OF NOWHERE! |

| Pros | It clears up your skin pretty quickly. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It is a short term fix. I have been on and off it for a year. As soon as you stop taking it your acne returns. You can't take it if you are wanting to get pregnant either. |
| Bottom line | I have had to struggle with bad skin for over 10 years and i have been on two rounds of Ro-accutane. It can always return and it may not get rid of it forever as mine returned a few years later. There is no cure that I am aware of and i will continue to see doctors for a cure. When i find out you will know about it. |

| Pros | Taking it for perioral dermatitis and seems to already be working after just 3 days. My skin seems less red and inflamed. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Nausea, vomiting and headache. Don't like the dairy restrictions. |
| Bottom line | If you tend to have a weak stomach as I do, this will likely upset yours--I took a pill 2 hours after I ate and was so nauseous I had to vomit. |

| Pros | worked pretty well after the first month until about the 4th month. |
|---|---|
| Cons | After i had been on it for about 4 months it just stopped working. Now my acne is almost the worst it has ever been. It always made me really nauseous when i didn't take it right after eating. Never take it in the morning before you eat breakfast. |
| Bottom line | I really liked it for the first 4 months but after that it didn't really do much for me. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go on it unless you only need it for a few months. If your acne is really bad and you are serious about fixing it, i completely recommend Accutane. It is a lot of work (mostly for girls) but it is totally worth it. |

|---|---|
| Cons | If you eat without food your stomach will hurt.. |
| Bottom line | Works in due time.. |

| Pros | Teeeeny reduce in redness |
|---|---|
| Cons | Acne didn't budge |
| Bottom line | I am on Adoxa 75 mg twice a day. I've been on it for almost a month, and seen absolutely no improvement. If anything, my acne has spread to new locations on my cheeks and forehead. At first, there was a very small reduce in the redness, but quickly after it fired up again. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being perfect skin), I'm at about a 6. |
