| Pros | -Gets rid of staph infections...(but won't for long if people are using if for everything) |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Very itchy and burns (I've taken it for Staph infection) -If you are using this for acne-STOP- you are breeding MRSA (Staph bacteria that is resistant to antibotics) |
| Bottom line | If you are using this for acne you need to STOP. It is one of the only antibiotics out there that will kill MRSA (Staph bacteria resistant to other antibiotics). I was on it for a staph infection that I got after nose surgery. I can't believe people are using it for acne. It's very irresponsible for doctors to prescribe this for acne. When you take unnecessary antibiotics like this for minor conditions like acne you are making it more likely that it will not work against serious infections that it really needs to work for... like staph infections. Besides, its very itchy and burns on the skin I don't know why you would prefer this to other acne treatments. |

| Pros | gets rid of annoying spots and pimples overnight!!! For added effective ness, you could use a bandaid with it. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Loses its effectiveness the longer you use it. It. is. EXPENSIVE. |
| Bottom line | It does work. Sometimes it will work less effectively, but it's worth it. You should definitely purchase this. |

| Pros | Clears up acne SO fast! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Its has a thick consistency so it can be kind of oily |
| Bottom line | I saw the reviews for this product so I asked my doctor to prescribe it for me.My skin was terrible bad so I used this for the past two days and my face looks 65% better. It does a nice, quick turn a round on your skin. But because your skin can get used to it I only plan on using this for one week and then going back to my regular routine. However I will always keep this on hand! |

| Pros | Clears up the cysts nicely |
|---|---|
| Cons | Oily, can't use it constantly |
| Bottom line | I have been on this product for about 2 weeks and so far it's really not doing much for me. I read the reviews and was extremely optimistic. It has gotten rid of the cystic acne i used to get but now i have small little bumps all over my face. And me skin is more oily overall then i used to be. I'm planning on stopping use of this pretty soon. |

| Pros | Works overnight! Cleared skin completely in just a few days! |
|---|---|
| Cons | you're not suppose to use it for more than a week out of every month else you could develop a resistance to it. |
| Bottom line | If you're desperate to get a clear face fast - this is the quickest way to get rid of your acne TEMPORARILY (took me 2 days!) |

| Pros | Worked FAST..I have spent hundreds of dollars on various skin care regimes, but NOTHING has worked this well. I have deep cystic type acne on my chin and smaller normal type pimples on the cheeks. I am thrilled that I am not not so self conscious abo |
|---|---|
| Cons | Greasy, shiny, and very slightly itchy |
| Bottom line | DEFINITELY worth the money...I wish I had found this before I spent so much money on various products, skin care lines, and other medications |
| Recommended | Yes |

| Pros | Was amazed, worked overnight, lessens redness & facial blotches, reduced tenderness, pimples disappeared |
|---|---|
| Cons | Greasy (so I use it only at night), mildly itchy (but so worth it!) |
| Bottom line | I started using this because of a Staph infection I had at the base of my neck. I noticed the next morning that the acne I had around the same area (that I've spent $$$$ over the last few years to treat unsuccessfully) was completely gone. A week later (yesterday) I had a follow up w/ my Dr. & she said although my Staph was better I could use it on my whole face if I wanted to. I woke up this morning to a face that is now completely clear & no redness or blotches. I cried tears of joy. I just hope by using it occasionally this will continue. |

| Pros | Works on cystic acne like nothing I've tried but a consistent oral antibiotic regimen. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None, but like all antibiotics, you should use for 7+ days to complete the course. |
| Bottom line | If you have cystic acne and a dermatologist, have them prescribe this for you. I struggle with occasional but infrequent cyst flareups and had a few recently while out of town. On a whim at the time I tried Polysporin which was available and helped somewhat with the cyst that had broken the skin, but not with the one that didn't. Got home two days ago and found Bactroban (2% mupirocin) in the cabinet. Looked it up here and saw good reviews. Applied with a small circular bandaid and in one day it was noticeably reduced. Second day in, it is reduced more. The only thing in the past that I've found to impact cystic acne like this is oral antibiotics on a consistent regimen, which frankly I stopped doing because I'm not comfortable with such a lifetime regimen. Not sure of the cost, depends on your health plan, but the tube I have will last for years so I consider it cheap! |

| Pros | My face had broken out with tiny bumps all over my cheeks and sides of my face and around my mouth I applied Mupirocin and it immediately cleared up!!! I have struggled with pimples for 7 years now and I wish I had found this product sooner! |
|---|---|
| Cons | My face is a little dry, but no pimples :) |
| Bottom line | This is a crazy good product for people who have a bacteria infection causing breakouts on the skin. I dont know about anyone else using this, but I am so relieved to have found something that actually works for me after 7 years of crying because my face would randomly break out with small bumps that covered my entired face and make up couldn't cover it! Now I feel like I wont need to wear as much make up now! I am so excited! |
