Pros:This medication worked really well for me in the beginning...it took away the redness and eliminated breakouts
Cons:loses effectiveness over time
Bottom Line:If you have mild to moderate acne this should work well for you in combination with an oral antibiotic and mild face wash. At first it was fabulous and eliminated breakouts entirely. Now I feel that my skin has become immune to the antibiotic so its time to change my regimen. Good luck everyone

Pros:Cleared up larger breakouts, No side effects
Cons:Still have minor breakouts, cost $100 without insurance
Bottom Line:About 75% of my acne is gone, expect in a few stubborn spots around my cheeks. Even though I slather this on religiously every night I still see an occasional small pimple here and there. No side effects.

Pros:It works pretty well, its pretty cheap and you see results eventually.
Cons:Theres not alot in a tube, and it takes at least a month to see any real results starting to happen. If your not going to be wearing it during the day its better because its a bit oily.
Bottom Line:I would reccomend this product to people with light to moderate ance that dont need to see immediate results. Its a really good topical cream for the price and ive been using it for over a year and im going to stick with it.

Pros:Seems to prevent new pimples from forming and gets rid of existing acne overnight.
Cons:NONE. Some people complain of the smell but I really don't smell anything.
Bottom Line:This stuff is amazing!! I use twice a day (morning and night). When i wake up in the morning, the pimples I had that previous night are either completely gone or barely even there.

Pros:wow this stuff was amazing and my skin was clear in two weeks! my oil was gone, my pores were clear, i was so happy until week 3.
Cons:i'm highly allergic
Bottom Line:i started getting sick and really dizzy and nauseated after week 2. so i went to the doctor because i couldn't even get out of bed. she said i had a sinus infection and a viral infection, so i stopped taking the pill for a week and tried a different antibiotic. when i stopped using that, i went back to my sulfa pill and i had an allergic reaction. i ended up passed out at school about an hour later and they rushed me to the hospital. that thing nearly killed me. :( this pill is amazing, it SUCKS that i'm allergic. :(

Pros:It worked immediately after first application. NO side-effects at all and cheap. It resolved ALL problems I had with my skin. There is no smell at all.
Cons:NOTHING
Bottom Line:No more oily skin, no more breakouts, no more excemas, no more rashes. Nothing has EVER cleared up my skin before. But Sodium Sulfacetamide did. No redness .. no dryness .. nothing! Even my pores are getting smaller and clean. Sodium Sulfacetamide is a solution to ALL the problems I had with my skin. And I don't even experience ANY side effect at all eventhough I have the worst, most sensitive skin EVER. I used to have extremely oily skin with breakouts and even some excemas (seborrhoic dermatitis). Everything I used before always made my skin even worse than it already was .. burning .. red .. swollen .. horrible. All gone now. I only paid $5 because that's my co-payment. My insurance pays the rest :) TRY IT OUT!! You won't regret it. I haven't had such a wonderful skin in a long time. I'm applying the lotion twice a day.

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.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Sarah Grace has used this item for about a week.
