BEST TREATMENT EVER! HOWEVER, BE CAREFUL.
This stuff is AMAZING. Every time i get a cyst and it drains, i apply this and in 3 days it will be gone with NO red mark. This stuff works better than any retinol, antibiotic, BP etc. HOWEVER, PLEASE READ THIS WARNING BEFORE YOU USE IT: This stuff is powerful, and you will grow resistant to it if you use it too much. Please ONLY apply it once-twice a month, or when you get a huge scab. DO NOT apply it all over your face for more than 5 days at a time. I overused it, and i got a fungal infection and this ointment no longer worked. Its been 6 months since ive last used it, and im going to the derm to get prescribed this again. I pray to god that this works and doesnt give me an allergic reaction.

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.

It does work. Sometimes it will work less effectively, but it's worth it. You should definitely purchase this.

Yes it does work. I think people who use it should immediately discontinue after the problem area(s) has cleared. I 😍 it! For the first time in years, my face is clear 😊

Pros:

Gets rid of bacteria like none other, clears up acne like no other. I originally used this to get rid of an infection around my nose, and it turned out to do wonders for acne.

Cons:

Shiny, cannot use for more than about a week on one area. *Extremely* powerful antibiotic, not something you want to develop a resistance to. If you use for more than 10 days you can easily get a fungal infection. Freaking expensive too.

I got this from a derm a while ago (pre-acne), and it was the only thing that could get rid of an infection around my nose. This thing is actually the only topical antibiotic strong enough to kill staph, so obviously it's damn powerful. But with that power comes extreme responsibility. You must, MUST finish your course if you are gonna use this stuff, but you also can't use it for too long. Fungal infections are actually *expected* if you use for more than a week, but my doctor gave me an anti-fungal cream along with this, so I'm safe. As for acne, it doesn't really do anything for jsutclogged pores, but it does wonders for bacteria-related acne, because it kills any and all bacteria in it's path.

Pros:

lessens redness of acne, decreases tenderness, shortens length of pimple life :)

Mupirocin was prescribed to my brother for a bacterial skin infection, and once it had cleared up, and in my desperation over my acne, I started using it and it works miracles. I use it sporadically...when I first feel that a cystic pimple is forming, I put it on in the evening and the following days until I no longer feel the bump under my skin. I am 24/F and I never had acne in my life until about six months ago. I break out only on my chin and it is those large, under the skin break outs. The derm perscribed me tazorac but it made me break out worse than I ever have in my life. This is the only product that has worked for me!
