The doctor prescibed this for me in the past before, it didn't work very well then, and more recent she prescribed it again so I thought "0Heck I'll try it again it may work", but it seemed like the acne got worse, I completed the programme of tablets and stopped using it.

I stopped using this stuff a year ago, but this stuff works wonders!!!!, just give it a week or two. I used it for one year and I didn't have one pimple during that time. Then I got older and Puberty put the petal to the metal and my acne grew back. But I looked at the bright side, my penis got bigger along with my muscle, and hieght. So either way u can look at it in a good way.

Completely made my skin dry and more irritated. This caused me to break out even more. After insurance, it was still $30, which was not worth it for what it did. I have quit usint it and doctor has put me on doxycycline and its working great.

Crap as. Did not do a thing to improve my skin. For $30 it was a waste of money

I've been using it for about 3 weeks now..and I'm seeing an improvment though I just broke out again now. It hasn't been too long yet but it's working pretty good for me.

I used the 2% Erythromycin gel in combination with Retin-A Micro-Retin-A at night and Erythromycin in the morning and during the day-and it worked great.The only issue is that it stung and burned really bad in the morning when I applied it right after I washed my face.
