| Pros: | clear, didn't really smell |
| Cons: | didn't work at all |
| Bottom Line: | I used this for over a month but it did nothing. I stopped using it and just used Neutrogena on-the-spot and my skin improved. It's still not that good...but better than when I was used Sodium Sulfacetamide. I guess it's just me. |

| Pros: | it controls oil better than anything i've ever tried and it's started clearing up my breakouts. |
| Cons: | it's sort of drying to my skin and because there's color to it, it stays on my dry spots and my face looks kind of splotchy |
| Bottom Line: | i've had oily skin for a long time and it's really embarrassing. i'm soo happy that i have finally found something that works for me! i'm also using differin gel along with it so that may be the cause of the dryness, seeing as everyone reported none. i have really sensitive skin though. i will definitely keep using it in though and see if it completely clears my skin. |

| Pros: | it does not induce redness at all on my skin. no irratation. |
| Cons: | takes awhile to work. not immediate results |
| Bottom Line: | if you are tired of having to go through the same cycle of burning off your acne and then treating the flaky residue...take klaron. its very complimenting to the skin. your skin will love it. |

| Pros: | It works! My 9 month post-accutane skin was starting to get mild breakouts again. Within a month, my skin has the same glow it used to... It didn't work for me pre-accutane (with more severe acne), but it clears up mild acne unbelievably |
| Cons: | Can make skin a little too dry sometimes...but then I just cut down to once a day or every other day |
| Bottom Line: | Love it! Really happy that I've found a maintenance therapy that doesn't make me red and peely (like taz and retin-a). It might not work for severe acne, but if you have oily skin and always a couple of small breakouts, give this a try! |

| Pros: | In my early 40's, I have had mild acne for about two years, particularly on my hairline near my scalp. I have a generic sodium sulfetamide wash and it has been great, particularly in reducing the oiliness of my forehead. |
| Cons: | Even using a washoff cleanser, I can still smell the sufur smell on my face, especially when I exercise or am at yoga class. Yuck. |
| Bottom Line: | The smell is a small price to pay. The product is easy to use, cheap, and my face looks and feels really clean and oil free for the first time in two years. |

| Pros: | It works ! Control oil very well, which is usually the cause of acne. Easy to use. |
| Cons: | It smell....who cares ! |
| Bottom Line: | I prescribe this to my clients along with The RX Systems Glycolic home care products. I see GREAT results for mild to moderate/semi severe clients. I also do glycolic peels and micros occasionally to further the results. |

| Pros: | You can use a little, invisibly, during the day, and more at night. Soothing, drying, non-stinging. Can be used (with patience) like a concealer. |
| Cons: | Lousy packaging (for mine, anyway). Mild: no instant results, but rather, slow and gentle healing. |
| Bottom Line: | I have dry but acne prone skin, and I use this every day, while the Tretinoin (Retin-A) the doctor also prescribed collects dust. Why? The latter ends up making my skin very painful, dry and flaky. This stuff is foolproof, and consistent results have been rewarding; it now seems to prevent emerging spots. If you have delicate, adult-acne prone skin, pay the price for this one, and skip the freaky skin-scaling drugs. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
