| Pros | Cleared acne completely from face as well as back within a couple weeks. |
|---|---|
| Cons | stomach cramps, loss of appetite, diarrhea, most of these only last the first month. |
| Bottom line | I loved it, after around a year some pimples came back but it was way better than what i had before, this can cause you to lose weight for some people thats a plus, but the stomach cramps sucked. |

| Pros | decreased acne slightly. |
|---|---|
| Cons | came back, worse than before. |
| Bottom line | I think my acne became resistant to the antibiotic. while I was on it I still broke out. Don't be disheartened, it may work for you, it just wasn't for me. |

| Pros | REALLY WORKS stops pimples from forming dries up pimples and zits |
|---|---|
| Cons | doesn't absorb well into skin you can feel product on your skin can't wear makeup on top of skin |
| Bottom line | My derm gave me zenyrit which is a topical erythromycin and zinc solution. this product works amazingly, the only downfall is that because it's an antibiotic the skin develops resistance to it and it will stop being as effective after 6 months of consecutive use. other than the resistance issue this really is an amazing product and works MUCH better than epiduo. When combined with benzyol peroxide this is a miracle cure...but again like many other things its only temporary |

| Pros | Used Eryacne for approx. 2 years, cleared me up within 3 weeks! Amazing product, definitely worth a try, not too expensive |
|---|---|
| Cons | Slightly drying, this being said... used it when I was young and didn't know about moisturiser, so just used this and the eryacne (erythromycin gel) but it worked like a charm! You will grow resistant like I did... so am searching for something to work as good as this. |
| Bottom line | Loved it, before it wore off. It works fantastically though! |

| Pros | Easy to apply, dries quickly Results within 1 week |
|---|---|
| Cons | Strong alcohol smell Antibiotic, so resistance may occur |
| Bottom line | After using the topical gel for a month, I still have breakouts, but they are much smaller and less painful. My face is by no means clear, but it looks about 50% clearer. This is a great product to try after you have tried everything OTC. Stick with it and you will see results. Still a little worried it will stop working eventually due to bacterial resistance. |

| Pros | Not dangerous while you are trying to get pregnant, however stop it completely once you know you are pregnant. -stomach discomfort |
|---|---|
| Cons | mild Slow effect |
| Bottom line | I am having erythromysinc 500 MG twice a day for three months now, and only from this month I had been noticing that the redness had gone from my face. However it didnt stop new cests (BIG ONES!) from growing on my facing. The only reason I am using it is that I have no choice since I want to get pregnant too and my doctor recommended it over the tetracycline and acutane since it can be used while you are trying to be pregnant. For all the people who had good results from this medicine, good for you! but for me I am still waiting to see my face again with no acne! |

| Pros | Helps make popped pimples heal faster |
|---|---|
| Cons | doesn't do anything to prevent pimples from forming smell is very strong tube goes pretty fast |
| Bottom line | **NOTE** this review is for the GEL, not the oral tablets. Luckily, it didn't dry me out or make my skin flaky like it did to some people. But, after a month I am barely seeing any improvement anymore, I am still breaking out ...although it does help for pimples that are just popped, like a spot treatment. Make them turn to a scab and flake off faster. But i need something to help prevent pimples form forming, which this does nothing for! |

| Pros | - within a week my skin was completely clear - red marks and inflammation also reduced significantly - no bothersome side effects, it did not affect my stomach as I feared it would |
|---|---|
| Cons | - the first week of taking it, I had some very MILD side effects, diarrhea and really really mild heartburn |
| Bottom line | This worked. It is the first and only thing I've tried that cleared my skin completely, 100%. It was amazing. I was afraid to take it because I'd heard it was particularly rough on the digestive system, but after a month I've had no discernible side effects. Amazing! So glad I tried it. |

| Pros | -Very effective -Short 'time to work' period -Reduces not only leasions but inflamation |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Should be taken with food (I assume this is to reduce bioavailability) -Hard on digestive system -Not really possible (nor likely advisable) to exercise while on this drug |
| Bottom line | Worked. Plain and simple. I only plan to use it for another week. I had been given a 4 week course, thankfully I will not need it. I used it in conjunction with adapalene 0.3% (brand name: differin) -- which made the results even better. Adapalene works well generally, but when a bad acne outbreak occurs, it can find its self out of its depth, which is where Erythromycin pills gave a helping hand. Just be clear: it's a 5/5 in effectiveness, but that rating is reduced in 4/5 when the -harsh- side effects are taken into account. |

| Pros | Clearly made the size of my acne smaller and reduced the redness after two uses. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None. |
| Bottom line | Really quick results and i'm showing no signs of side effects so I suppose its just in the person who is taking it as we are all different. Brilliant. |
