Esfania Soto, White Plains , NY Jun 15th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: 50MG CLEARS UP BACKACNE INSURANCE COULD COVER Cons: ONCE YOU STOP TAKING THE PILLS THE ACNE COMES BACK Bottom Line: IF YOU ARE WILLING TO STICK TO THE PILL TAKING IT'S GREAT HOWEVER I'VE NOTICED THAT IT ONLY CLEARS UP MY BACK NOT MY FACE. BUT I'M STILL HAPPY. Recommended: Yes Usage: Esfania Soto has used this item for about a year. Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Shall not be known..., Canada Jun 13th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Well, for one, I do believe that I see a minor improvement on my back area; the once flamboyantly-red-blotches have receded to minor (albeit noticeable) marks. Cons: At first, I had begun taking one pill every morning for a week; no side-effects, nor any results. After this time, my doctor instructed me to take two. The result: nausea, abdominal cramping/bloating, dizziness. Oh, but, alas, some noted improvement. Bottom Line: Try it, if you must. If you can tolerate the side-effects or, perhaps, do not experience any, then, all the more to you. Nevertheless, if you are searching for a miracle pill, I do urge you to look elsewhere. (My friend is on Accutane- she had the most severe acne I have ever seen, and now, her skin is akin to porcelain! Be wary of the initial instances of severe dryness, however. Oh, and be prepared to haul around facial moisturisers and chapsticks like religious fixtures.) Recommended: No Usage: Shall not be known... has used this item for a few weeks. Acne severity: very light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Eleonora, Amsterdam, Holland Jun 11th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clears me up, although not the tiny sebum bumps: avoids infections Cons: Heavy side-effects and acne comes back one week after quitting it. Bottom Line: My side-effects were severe. I developed a problem with my veins and muscles (very scary) and developed liver stains on my legs after only 5 weeks of usage. Many things are not reversible. Does clear me up to only leave the tiny bumps but acne comes back as soon as I quit. It's free for me because I live in Holland Recommended: Yes Usage: Eleonora has used this item for a few months. Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

T, Texas Jun 9th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I was prescribed this for deep cystic acne and it took about a month for it to kick in but was highly effective once it did. Cons: You're not supposed to take it with vitamins or calcium so I had to be careful what I ate around the time I took it to make sure the breakouts wouldn't come back. Bottom Line: Great stuff. Definitely worked for me. Recommended: Yes Usage: T has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful?

Anonymous, York, PA Jun 8th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Worked after I used it for 3 months, my doctor told me it would take 4-6 weeks to become effective, continued for that one month after it was effective. Cons: After a month of effective use, it seemed my skin got used to it, adapted, and got worse than it was before I used the product. Bottom Line: Results will vary, my acne wasn't that bad to begin with and I hadn't had acne for years then it popped up and I got medicated but it hasn't helped. I have to go to a dermatologist for a better analysis. Recommended: No Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 5.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful?

Jenna, Seattle, WA Jun 6th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleared up my acne much better than tetra or doxy. I also use topical for my face. I used it in high school and it cleared up my face so after college when I started to break out again I went back on it. It cleared up my face in about a month! Cons: I take it at night so I don't feel sick. I have just started to get more breakouts but I think that might be with the weather changing to summer too. I also get chemi peels and use tazorac. I'm 25 and this seems to be never ending. Bottom Line: Give it a try, this just might be the medication that works for your face! Recommended: Yes Usage: Jenna has used this item for about a year. Price Paid: 5.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Evan, Virginia, USA Jun 5th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It cleared up some of my cystic acne. Still have a few bumps here and there, but it cleared the bad stuff up. Only been with it for a month, hopeefully I get even more better results next month :) Cons: Very expensive if you dont have insurance! Since the acne is going away, I'm being left with some scars. Don't really get the side effects, mainly because I take it with food (Which you aren't supposed to) Bottom Line: Get it and try it. And if you are having bad side effects with it, take it with food or maybe with some juice. Recommended: Yes Usage: Evan has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 100.00 Acne severity: severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Ashley, Phoenix AZ Jun 4th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It is very affordable Cons: I have noticecd major mood swings, Im depressed, and cant sleep Bottom Line: The doctors should really get an understanding of you before they put you on it because I was a happy outgoing fun girl and now because of taking this drug not only do I still have acne but Im DEPRESSED. I would not recomend this unless you clearly read up on it. Recommended: No Usage: Ashley has used this item for a few weeks. Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?
