theblackrabbitofinle, Ft. Lauderdale, FL Jul 14th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: When used with Differin, it cleared my face completely Cons: After 1-2 years of continuous use, my acne developed a resistance to this product, and I had to switch to a different medication. Bottom Line: I used Erythromycin gel by applying a thin film on my problem areas in the morning, and at night I would apply a thin film of Differin gel. It took about 3 weeks to see results, but eventually all my acne went away. I was clear for a period of 1-2 years, but then my face started building a resistance to the medication, and the acne came back. I find that with these prescription medications, they will work for about 1-2 years and then they stop working, so I have to switch from one to the other. All these dermatologist prescribed medications do work, but they do not cure acne. They just temporarily mask it. You have to use them on a consistent basis every day, or your acne will come back. Right now, I have stopped taking all these and I am trying natural methods such as taking probiotics and fiber supplements to see if I can get to the root of the problem.

Kara, Glasgow Jul 3rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: works fast Cons: none :) Bottom Line: Well i just got my pills today. So i have no changes yet (obviously) but my sister has been taking them for 6 weeks,and 95% of her acne is gone,still some redness but it'l be gone soon. I'm hoping my skin does the same. As we are under 18 we do not have to pay. Sowe get a constant supply! I'm 15,but my acne is pretty bad that i have to cover it up with make up every day. Hopefully i wont have to anymore!

josh, bedford Jun 27th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: eventually skin cleared a little Cons: takes ages to work not good on the stomach Bottom Line: This tablet was like taking no tablets had no affect on me what so ever, i took this tablet for 8 months two tablets twice a day. to start with my acne stayed the same(moderate) then after a few months my acne began to flare and it became severe, since then my acne stayed the same, then saw a slight improvement on the eighth month(may just be a washing regime or the fact that it was summer) but really no affect at all.

Gail, Scotland Jun 14th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cheap, easy to tolerate no obvious side effects. Cons: May lead to antibiotic resistance. Bottom Line: I have been taking Erythromycin 5oomg twice daily for four weeks it cleared my acne almost immediately. I am 48yrs and have suffered from acne particularly on my chin since I was a teenager. I have found that since I have grown older the red scarring does not fade as quickly. This drug has worked very well and I will ask my doctor if I can stay on it as long as possible. It is great not to wake up every morning and put my hand up to my face and not feel a new spot appear.

waitingforrelief, Dillon, CO May 28th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: worked well at times, no side effects for me, ok to take while pregnant and nursing Cons: stopped working, takes 6 weeks to start working Bottom Line: I've been on this drug for 3 years. Worked ok (some breakouts) through 2 pregnancies and nursing. After I was done with nursing, my skin cleared completely so I stopped taking it just to see. BIG MISTAKE. My skin's been horrible ever since - 7 months now. I've tried oral and topicals but nothing works. I went back on Ery. 3 months ago but it's not working now either:( Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 25.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Simon, London May 22nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Helped a little after other antibiotics stopped having an effect Cons: For me it only worked for a few weeks, didn't make much difference but helped keep the spots at bay a little Bottom Line: Unimpressed. Not a complete waste of time for me but at 42 I'm amazed I get acne anyway. Maybe is the anti-depressants I'm on that causes it. Will keep searchinf for a solution.
