Stievamycin Tretinoin and Erythromycin Gel

I had some ups and downs with this product, but eventually is cleared up my skin. I still have scars, but it do notice them fading away. Using this product requires a lot of patience. It took me a couple of months (almost a year) to finally see results!

My whole life I had perfect skin then a few years ago BAM adult acne, oh joy. This product I got from my derm, it kicked in 2-3 weeks into using it, began to clear up everything really fast and, in spite of sideeffects, i was realy happy after a couple years of extreme frustration. Some whiteheads and pimples would return before/after period...then eventually, after about 7/8 months of using this product, it felt like it lost all it's power basically over night or over a few days- I was in total distraught, my acne came back worse than ever...emberrasing and gross. So I went back to my derm and he recommended Epiduo/Tactuo Gel, which is appearantly significantly better (have just started) and I'm very excited about it. Fingers crossed :)

My doctor prescribed this for me and I've used this for a few months and ended up finishing the tube. I then stopped using it and my acne started to re-surface and was almost back to the way I started so I had my doctor prescribe me a re-fill. Recently, I went to the doctor's again and have now switched over to Clindoxyl Gel. Worth trying. Don't dis-continue use until fully re-covered I guess..

i got it and it worked but even though its been a year since i used it regularly. my forehead(where i had acne) is still all red and scared. I'm getting microdermabrassion so it will probably be gone. It is worth trying though.

I really liked the medicine. I am not sure about it working on acne, but it worked really well for my problem.

i already have a good tanned skin colour and i have noticed darke blemish and i am very worried that it wont go away!

This is my 9th week using Stievamycin (I use 0.025%) and I seem to go through this cycle Clear skin Redness and dryness Small breakout Back to clear skin (repeat) My doctor told me to use constantly except when it's red and dry. I was really happy at first but because of all the redness I'm not so sure. Although the box told me to continue using and also said it takes months for it to fully work. But because I had such good results the first time, I'm going to continue using for another 3-4 months and if my face keeps turning red then I'll have to use something else. But I have to admit, Stievamycin has been the most effective out of all the acne medicine I have used (ProActive, various Clearasil products, Neutrogena), Tretinon has been much more effective on acne than Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic acid. Worked much faster too, but results vary with different people. If you are using this and you're experiencing similar symptoms, just hold on and keep using. Hope thi

my face would of been worse w.o this..but still nothing to rely on

I have tried this product under the recomendation of my doctor. I had a bump like rash thing near my lip, I think from a certain lip gloss that I no longer use, and he gave me a sample of this stuff to try. I applied it once a day for 5 days and it burned the thing right off. I was left with scab that healed but geese, there must have been a better way. I figured I overused it or something. So I tried it again on a little bump on my cheek and it burnt the skin there as well. I think I am too sensitive for this product. Now I have a bunch of little bumps around the burn like mark on my cheek to get rid of. Lovely.

I've been using this for a year now and its decent. Because i'm a girl and have to wear foundation out everyday to feel confident it doesn't really work all too well because putting on the makeup clogs my pores during the day anyways. I still get acne (though its probably not as bad as it could be without it) even though I have honestly worn it every single night for a year! Its not fair. I think your skin starts getting used to it also. Anyways i'm trying the vinegar method now with it and its working really really well! By the way the initial breakout is really really bad, I cried almost every day for a month... it was brutal.
