| Pros | it seems like it might be working underneath...but right now i'm still having issues on the surface of my skin...also it was very cheap! |
|---|---|
| Cons | i feel like it is pushing out everything right now...i'm having problems on my forehead...but they aren't raised at all, so with make up i look fine...i just hope soon i won't even need the make up |
| Bottom line | i've only been taking the 250 mg tablets twice a day for about three weeks, so maybe i just need to wait a little longer. this seems to have worked for other people, considering it is the second most used antibiotic for acne. hopefully once the blemishes i have now heal, no more new ones will come |

| Pros | It doesnt cost alot i really dont know how well it works since i've only used it for about a week. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None that i've seen yet. |
| Bottom line | I mean the dermatologist looked at me and he prescribed me this so im pretty sure it will work on anybody its prescribed to.If you do try it use it right so you'll get the full benefits of the treatment. |

| Pros | Cleaared about 70 percent of my cystic acne. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Gastrointestinal distress. For the first time in many years, there is a delay in my menstral period. Dont know if it is assoicated with the oral med. Ihave been on it for 3 weeks. |
| Bottom line | I am 40 and have suffered with Adult Acne, but dont know if I can stay long on this med. My stomach hurts all the time |

| Pros | This product does wonders for skin, clears up acne pretty fast, and if you use it every night, it works really well! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Sort of dries up your skin, but just moisturize daily and it shouldn't be that big of a deal (just use it at night instead of day when you can deal w/ the dryness or slight redness) |
| Bottom line | For most of you that are having issues with the gel, try the 2% topical solution, it's liquid and it works so well |

| Pros | It did clear up most of my face only a few spots on chin/cheek none on my forehead! but didnt clear up spots on back/arms/chest/neck. its free on NHS. |
|---|---|
| Cons | they flare back up when you come off it and i seemed to sweat more on these tablets and i never used to sweat under my arms! |
| Bottom line | These tablets are good esp short term but they are no long term soloution they do work but my skin still wasnt flawless and i still couldnt use products on my skin as i would flare up. My gp left me on these tablets for about 2 years although i tried to change to a different antibiotic my skin got worse so went back on these.Only problem is as soon as you come off them spots return and you build up a resistance to them. |

| Pros | I have used the Erythromycin 500 mg tablets for a week now which has made a bit of a difference, but not great. Basicallly now my spots still appear, with the pigmentation, although the improvement is that they do not get as imflammed as before. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None so far, apart from the fact that spots still come up. |
| Bottom line | I will keep posting should there be any further changes. Prescription medication, so in the UK costs about £6 = $12 |

| Pros | I have used it for probably about 2 months now. Worked very well initially for getting rid of whiteheads and messy spots, cleared my skin up quite well in the beginning. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It is no longer working as well and my skin is again, not as clear still barely any whiteheads but my face is full of redness and red lumps/'blotches' |
| Bottom line | Not working very well for me anymore, going to see my doctor for his verdict. |

| Pros | Skin looks better than it has in YEARS! My skin looks photoshopped in real life, it's crazy! |
|---|---|
| Cons | SEVERE drying of skin initially, PAIN, small unpleasant odour |
| Bottom line | I've been taking many acne treatments for about the past 5 years, and in prescribing me this one medication, my doctor has resolved 5 years of suffering and TRANSFORMED my skin. My prescription is a combination 0.1% Tretinoin and 4% Erythromycin. It caused very VERY severe drying out of my skin (I used the word "destroyed" as an adjective many times), but it completely changed the look of my face afterwards. It caused very VERY bad drying of the skin (flaking, peeling etc...) and moisturizers BURNED when applied. But I kept at it/am VERY happy! Anyone who tries ANY acne medication for a week or less is expecting far far too much. Acne is caused by bacteria, so you HAVE to give medication time to work/kill the bacteria. I've used the product for about 3 weeks (I usually give medications a 4 month unconditional, completely dedicated trial before I request a change) and have seen more drastic, sustained results than anything I've ever taken! Exicted to see if it will c |
