Erinn, NYC, NY Oct 20th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It doesn't sting, or really irritate my skin at all Cons: If you use too much it turns your skin a brown in glops--but it washes off (looked like self-tanner?) and it didnt' work Bottom Line: I felt this medicine made my acne worse. I went from having 3-4 pimples at most (but I was always breaking out as soon as one cleared up another one came up!) to now having about 8 within one week of usage. I'm very disappointed and don't know if I should continue with this product or not! Recommended: No Usage: Erinn has used this item for about a week.

Anonymous, Detroit Oct 14th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleans up all forms of acne - really the only thing i've tried (which is a lot!) that works great for preventing my occasional humongo cysts. Cons: Price. Doesn't work very well as a wash, very little foaming action going on. I like the smell, yeah I said it. Bottom Line: I've used the 10%/5% Wash for a few years, am just getting off of it. Stuff worked great for me, for quite awhile. Only gripe is the washing/foaming agent is pretty much non-existent. Great for people who just don't have much luck/success with Benzoyl Peroxide, or the joke that is Salicylic Acid Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 12.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

Katherine, NJ Oct 12th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Both prevents and treats acne. I'm barely breaking out anymore with this stuff and it's great for killing big zits. Also my skin is less oily during the day. Cons: A bit drying - my skin is flaky without moisturizer but its not nearly as terrible as it was with Benzaclin or benzyl peroxide. Bottom Line: I went to one dermatologist who prescribed and rubbed benzaclin all over my face even after I told her i'd used it before and it irritated me and made my skin worse. Then she prescribed me a 5% benzyl peroxide wash... how is that different? So we cancelled our next appointment and no I'm going to the dermatologist my mother went to in the 80's. Well, after telling him that my skin does NOT react well with benzyl peroxide, he prescribed me Sulfacet-R to use at night with the acne-aid soap bar. Both are a bit drying so I use my EmerginC cleanser in the morning but WOW is my skin clearing up! I never thought it would be possible! I highly recommend this to anyone with sensitive or dry skin, it really is a miracle worker because it is so gently. Please try this!

bec, oc, ca Sep 7th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: 1. It works. 2. Completely nonirritating. Cons: Only available by prescription Bottom Line: I'm in my mid-40's and still plagued by adult acne as well as seborrheaic dermatitis (really bad dandruff). In the past, I've used benzoyl peroxide (discolors my clothes, not particularly effective, drying); salicylic acid in alcohol (rebound oiliness of the skin); retin-A (a low concentration gel worked for many years, but when I started back on it again as a cream, my skin became sensitive to it. Now, even a small quantity causes itching, redness, swelling, pain, and increased friability of the skin). In addition, I finally determined after a number of years that my ketoconazole shampoo for the seborrhoea was aggravating the acne. The dermatologist my doctor referred me to prescribed Klaron lotion, since it is good for both acne and seborrhoea. Wow! It's completely nonirritating, nonstaining, nongreasy - and I can see results in less than 24 hours. I use it sporadically, several times a week. I've gone from routinely having 10-15 pimples in various stages, to 1-2 at most, an Recommended: Yes Usage: bec has used this item for about a year.

Anonymous, Cincinnati Sep 5th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Cons: expensive. Didn't work for me. Bottom Line: It didn't work for me and it was expensive. But if your insurance can get it for you on the cheap it is worth a try.

Emily, Texas Sep 5th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Great stuff. Seems to be working. Using it with Differin & Monodox. Cons: Don't know which prescription is doing it, but face is dry and sunburnt easily in 10 minutes. Bottom Line: Get it if you need it. Recommended: Yes Usage: Emily has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 5.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

Sarah, NJ Sep 1st, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleared up my acne when NOTHING Else would. Cons: nothing. Bottom Line: I paid $7.50 for a bottle of this stuff. Let me tell you...I have tried EVERYTHING to clear up the constant pimples around my mouth. I have a strict cleansing, deep cleaning, exfoliating, masks, moisturizing, routine every day and NOTHING would work. I tried some of the most expensive brands from Sephora, C.O. Bigelow, even Neiman Marcus. Even classic Neutrogena and Clean & Clear would not work for my pimples. Well, after getting sooo incredibly fed up I went on an internet search and found this review board & the incrediable reviews for Klaron. I'm on birth control & really didnt want to take an oral med that may mess with my BC and possibly my body in general. So after reading the reviews of topical Klaron, I brought the info to my derma & said, "GIVE TO TO ME". *ALL MY ACNE HAS CLEARED UP*. AMAZING. It's cheaper than anything else i've used. I guess my health care is pretty good and it covers it. I use it twice a day and the results are REMARKABLE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED***** Recommended: Yes Usage: Sarah has used this item for a few weeks.

anonymous, Indiana Aug 24th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I use the pads and they make my skin feel so clean. Quickly clears existing acne and prevents future breakouts. This is like a wonder drug for acne. Cons: none Bottom Line: works fast and helps a ton. definitely worth it Recommended: Yes Usage: anonymous has used this item for about a week.

Katie R., Tampa, Florida Aug 21st, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Quickly dries up existing acne and kicks in to prevent new breakouts. At most, waiting to see if it works might take up to 4 weeks. Cons: Might dry out skin initially. The smell isn't pleasant but dissapates quickly. Bottom Line: When other treatments like Benzaclin stopped working for me and even trying things like Differin - this worked great and cleared up my breakouts quickly. I do have to use more moisturizer each day but it is worth it. Recommended: Yes Usage: Katie R. has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
