| Pros | skin less oily, even though i have only been using this for four days! Drying up spots pushes out whiteheads spots that are coming are not that inflamed! |
|---|---|
| Cons | only use a little bit or ur skin will get dry |
| Bottom line | hi! I was prescribed with this treatment after i startedto break out a little bit after 6 months of roaccutane. My breakouts were pretty mild but they wer really stressing me out, so, i have been using this for 4 days and my skin is significantly lesr oily and a few whiteheads are popping out. Also, my inflamed acne is drying up and the spots that are coming througg now are smaller and less inflamed. I would recommend this products for pppl with mild to moderate acne! Its better than panoxyl |

| Pros | it really works! |
|---|---|
| Cons | 1.it takes a long time to see the results 2. at first it tends to get worse and it is quite hard to stick with it especially for the desquamation side effects |
| Bottom line | so, indeed it really works( at least for me)...but it takes time and patience (like most of us mentioned)...and it's hard when you see at first noo results and after a month still no results and you kind of start to doubt...personally i saw the first results in like 6 weeks and more than 2 months for the greatest results i've had with any other product! |

| Pros | reduces redness and inflammation |
|---|---|
| Cons | occasional burning & flakiness |
| Bottom line | This product is VERY similar to PanOxyl. I have oily areas on my skin and since using the gel it has become relatively dry. My advice from personal use of a year now is to: Appy only at NIGHT Use a cotton bud (quetip) with a tiny amount on Apply ONLY to acne area or specific spot Let dry for roughly 30sec Apply a moisturiser on top (I use sudocrem) Sometimes I don't even use it everyday, every couple of days is good enough as it can tend to get quite dry and sore otherwise. I also use Bio-Oil on occasion to help the scaring. Hope this helps!!! |

| Pros | Clears up acne and smooths skin. And stops spots from coming back! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Stings for about 2 seconds whilst applying it to your face |
| Bottom line | I've been using this product for almost a month now and its has great affects! The first couple of weeks is the most difficult because it has the opposite affect to how you want it to work (stop spots) but this is because it is designed to open up your pores and release the bad bugs. Therefore your bound to get a flurish of spots! However don't give up after this happens, keep on using it and within a week those spots will disappear. Then from then on you will get fewer and fewr spots coming back! So stick at the gel even when the going gets tough, and keep on using it until your doctor says so! :D |

| Pros | Lower the oil production in a significant amount Clears acne and prevents |
|---|---|
| Cons | More sun protection needed than Adapalene user |
| Bottom line | I started using adapalene 0.1.It cleared my skin but my oil production was the same.So I tried Differin 0.3 also but oil production was the same.But it cleared my skin. So I gave a try for ISOTREX then.Woww....... My skin became normal from a oil slick. Thanks Stirfel |

| Pros | ultimately smooths out skin and reduces forming spots and red marks |
|---|---|
| Cons | I've been using this for over two months and every time I apply it there's slight but manageable irritation for a few seconds therefore only use at night |
| Bottom line | I find applying my moisturiser (simple, rich for dry skin) even though I have combination skin first to the skin to stop the dryness. I only apply the gel to my forehead, cheeks and chin because otherwise my nose and eyes get dry. Don't give up after a couple of weeks! (ive been using this for a couple of months) |

| Pros | Shrinks Active pimples Prevents Blackheads and Whiteheads |
|---|---|
| Cons | You have to wait for effects Unpleasant to apply |
| Bottom line | I've been on Roaccutane for months and now I'm off but i've been left with some bad hyperpygmentation, got prescribed this by the derm. When I get the rare pimple forming, I soak it with this stuff (ie I put on loooads) for 2 nights and the pimple has just shrivalled up. on the negative side, my hyperpygmentation as stayed pretty much the save, perhaps it will go in time, but for now, nothing. |
