Pros:works well, use with the regimen , give it a try takes about a month!
Cons:body overtime can become immune.
Bottom Line:my "moderate" breakout cleared after a month and has not returned, but this is the only time I have ever broke out. I stopped taking it and am still clear 2 months later, so I'm keeping a spare bottle on reserve.

Cons:made skin very dry... annyoing having to wait 2-3 hrs after takin medication to eat..
Bottom Line:it helpled with my acne didnt make it perfect but made it better along with other products as well..
RETIN A MICRO along with the antibiotic is a very good combination along with a mostirizier because it while dry your skin out a lil bit but i think its worth it.

Pros:Took this a year ago for a couple of months after my first ever outbreak of acne and I had never had spots before. Worked great. just had a new outbreak and only been taking for 4 days and already helping.
Cons:For it to work best you need to take on an empty stomach, so have to east around taking this medicartion.
Bottom Line:It totaly obviously depends on the person as with every medication, but these have worked very well for me both times and I would advise to give them a go.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:It's an antibiotic so you don't have to worry about as many diseases like strep but with acne just a small dent to the problem
Cons:remembering to take it!!!!
Bottom Line:I don't love it i don't hate it i just take it. I have taken it since May at first 2 pills a day one in the morning and one at night and now 4 a day 2 in the mornig 2 at night(what a pain!!!). I don't really think that it even makes a difference on my acne but with other products(Neutragena) my acne has improved but i am still afraid to stop taking it.

Don't waste the money try something simpl like lemon or lime juice, vinigar, or Baking Soda
Recommended:No
