Sodium Sulfacetamide Reviews

I've had acne now for about 10 years. There has always been at least one cyst and multiple pimples on my face. I've gone through minocylin and benzaclin. I even tried the B5 treatment for 6 months (that just gave me pimples on my temples). Now I have a combination of Klaron and differin and my skin has never been better. Completely clear and not dry. I don't even need a moisterizer. Excellent!

I am using Klaron with amoxycillin antibiotic. I have tried many other medications and antibiotics and this is the best thing that has happened to me in years. My acne is clearing up fast. I have only been using this for 2 weeks. I am very pleased. I thought I would always have to suffer with cysts and nasty zits all my life, but I can't believe it this stuff really works! My doc put me on a lower dose of amoxycillin and I haven't had any problems like I did with other antibiotics (yeast-yikes). Klaron doesn't irritate my skin and it's like a lotion so I don't need to moisturize. Hope this helps someone.

I have had Acne Roseaca for years now...and with this skin disorder it weens and wans...well i went through a very stressful period in my life and my face looked like crap...red, ruddy, and break-outs....my Derm perscribed Klaron to try....what wonders! I only use it when i start to see my symptons flare and it takes care of it in 24-48 hours for me. I also recommend people to use your other skins care as well, good cleansers, antioxidant's,which they help as well, so u don't have to become immune to the wonderful effects of Klaron...i pay $30 and since i can use it once a week...it last's..so the price is not an issue with me..i'm so happy, i had a bad few days of my Roseaca, and when i came back to work from my days off my co-workers were telling me how good and clear my skin looked (and they don't even know i have Roseaca)...i feel very fortunate to of found this product....

Started using around two weeks ago after a very bad reaction to Azelaic Acid. I don't know if the improvement is because I stopped the Azelaic or started the Klaron. Skin is still pretty red and there are new spots every day. This is the 6th med I've tried for adult acne and I'm hoping it'll work if given the chance. Klaron does not seem as harsh as the others so I can hang in there with it.

Klaron is the best thing I have used so far. For the first three months I had zero acne. However, the effectiveness of Klaron is decreasing each month. The bacteria seem to grow resistant to it over time. I now get pimples every couple of days, however I have not had one cyst since I have been on Klaron.

This stuff is amazing!

Before tying Sodium Sulfacetamide, I had been using Retin-A for about 2 years. The Retin-A worked fairly well at clearing up the few small pimples and blackheads that I had. I had a fairly mild case of acne - however I would get an occasion cyst, and Retin-A seemed to do nothing for the cysts. Benzoyl Peroxide seemed to only speed up the cycle of the cysts, but did nothing to prevent them.

The Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% and Sodium 5% lotion PREVENTS CYSTS COMPLETLY! I have not had a single cyst since I started using this stuff a year ago. My face is no longer oily the way it was with Retin-A. The trick to this stuff is simple: USE IT! I have found that as long as I apply it once in the morning and once before bed, I have ZERO outbreaks. As soon as you stop using it religiously, you will find that you will start acne come back. It does smell when you first apply it due to the sulfur content, but you get used to it. Bottom line: This is the cheapest, most effective acne PREVENTION treatment on the market.

I think Klaron is working great. Ive been using it for about 2 months now along with differin and it is amazing. My face is clearing up and i havent been getting any new acne. My face and shoulders are looking alot better and my face looks clear except for some old acne spots that will go away over time. I think this product is great. Ive been seeing a doctor for about 3 or 4 months and he as going to prescribe me Accutane because nothing seemed to work, not even showed any attempt of cleaing up and he didnt want me scarring. But i told him I wanted to give differin one more month before i went onto accutane and he agreed and said hell prescirbe me Klaron also and i think this was the best decision i have ever made. It really works great.

I've been using Klaron gel in the mornings and nights in addition to differin gel at night. I have been using it for about 2 weeks now and its working pretty well. I have extremely sensitive skin so things like benzoyl peroxide etc are way too harsh for me. When I first started it gave me little bumps on my cheeks which is rare for me. It definitely reduced the size of a few bigger ones I had though. The little bumps it caused haven't gotten much better but hopefully its just a temporary reaction from my sensitive skin. This gel has really controlled my face though, and is effective in balancing my skin tone.

Oh yeah and make sure to use a very very thin film because it can be sticky...and you don't want a residue on your face - especially right before you go to bed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: KLARON AND SULFACET R ARE *NOT* THE SAME.

Sulfacet R contains sulfur in addition to sodium sulfacetamide; Klaron contains only the latter. This makes the former tinted and stinky, while the latter is clear and odorless. I don't know whether or to what extent the sulfur makes the former more effective, as I used it for only one day before I switched to Klaron, which, by the way, works great. Unless you're using this medication only at night, sleep alone, and don't mind making your sheets smelly, I suggest Klaron over Sulfacet R.

After spending a fortune and trying everything including differin gel (BP, SA, Sulfur, you name it) I read about sodium sulfacetamide in these comments. I am 26 and have had moderate acne for about 8 years. I finally wanted to end those spots that just moved around my face and the deep red lumps.
I finally went to see the derm and asked if he could prescribe me this drug I read about. I was also using a product with niacinamine. He presribed me a generic version of SS mixed with Sulfur and said the niacinamine was a good choice and to end everything else. He also gave me monocycline. Have been using the sodium sulfacetamide for 2 months and have had 1 real pimple and 2 half-a** ones. Amazing. I stopped taking the antiobiotics after a few weeks because I dont want to develope a tolerance and I still use the niacinamine. Now just waiting for the red splotches from the past year of acne to go away....hopefully on my way to clear skin.
