Susan, Queens, NY Oct 2nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Improve skin appearance, reduces inflammation, prevents additional pimples, heals scarring and dries up existing pimples Cons: Incredibly drying, need to wait 30 minutes after washing face to apply, takes a long time (8 weeks) to work 100%, need to wear sunscreen daily, cant use moisturizer at night Bottom Line: I have had moderate acne my entire life, but it became severe on my cheeks, jawline and chin after I went off birth control in my late twenties. This product does take a long time to work and it is drying but at only 4 weeks in, I see improvement in my skin's texture already. My pimples are far fewer and my scars are healing. I am so happy i tried this product and look forward to seeing it work even better in the next few weeks. Stick with it! Recommended: Yes Usage: Susan has used this item for about a month.

Megan, Fort St john Oct 2nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Face is clearing up, not fiully, still a little scarring/darker spots from past acne, but havnt had and cysic acne since i started using it almost a month ago. Cons: At first it dries your face A LOT so dr recomended using it once every 3 days for a week then 1 every two days for a week then everyday for the rest to avoid the extra dryness. also it seemed like it stopped working but i just kept with it Bottom Line: This product is not a strong acne medication but it works without all the scary side effects. if you are using this i recommend that to get rid of acne, oilyness, blackheads, etc, wash your face day and night with a simple bar soap (I used a regular Dove Bar Soap), and dry face, at night apply the cream and try not to use any moisturizer. I use Olay classic fragrence but i only used it probably three times because it seems like it causes breakouts. I say avoid moisturizer and avoid special facewash because all the chemicals in the wash is just going to cause more breakouts. Also you should visit your dr they will prob recommend you to take a light antibiotic like i did and they wont ask a ton of questions and its safe the one i have doesnt have any side effects which is nice.

JAz, New Jersey Oct 1st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: This cream works very well on my acne for few 2 weeks,it really clear-up my scar (minimize) and help in exfoliating. Cons: The cream has make my face even worst after the 2 weeks it drawbacks itching,stinging,scaling, and anything that make your face turn to cystic type. Bottom Line: Now my face are worsen from day to day. It does not make any diff but only cause harm than good. It's not suitable for most people as it contains very strong peeling agent that scarring your face. now that I have very low self-esteem caused of this product. I will never use it again.

Linda, Sacramento, CA Sep 30th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works so well, with time! took about 2 months of using it regularly for it to really take away my acne. Also improved past acne scars, and overall appearance of skin. Easy to use, only needs to be applied once a day. Cons: Takes atleast 1 to 2 months to really see improvement. Acne will get slightly worst when you first start using it. Bottom Line: I've had really bad acne on my forhead, chin, and around my mouth for 10 years, and this is the first product that has really improved my acne. I have been using this product for about two and a half months now, and I have not had one pimple in about a month. I also wear makeup almost everyday. This is the first time in 10 years that I don't have a pimple on my face and I am just extremely happy. Yes, it takes time to work, but it is so worth it. I've tried many things over the years, and this is the only thing that works for me. Recommended: Yes Usage: Linda has used this item for a few months.

Carrie, Pennsylvania Sep 29th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It cleared up my skin in the beinning. I think I am in thr breakout stage now though. Cons: Makes skin really dry and oily. If you don't use lotion, it will be really bad. Right now my skin is a lot worse then when I started using it. Bottom Line: I am going to keep using it because I know it usually takes about 2-3 months to work. Hopefully my skin will improve! Because right now my skin is dry, oily, and pretty bad. I read lots of reviews before using it, and decided to try it. It will take a while but don't give up on it.

Kady, New York Sep 23rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Has cleared acne on my cheeks, parts of my forehead, chin, sides of mouth. Effectively working on other parts of face. Skin looks less damaged. Really brought out those black heads that are so deep in my skin. Cons: Dryness, peeling. I don't mind much; as long as it's working. Bottom Line: It works. It works. It works. It works. Please, try this. At least once. It seems to make things worse at first, but keep going and don't stop. I have only been using this stuff for a month, and I'm already seeing a big difference. I'm really excited to see if it can clear up the sides of my face, around my temples and jawline. It's the worst around there. If it can do that, then it's the best thing that has ever happened for my acne. I use this, and wash my face with PanOxyl, and use a light-weight moisturizer. I'm very happy with the results I have, and with further use I hope to have a clear face by December. :D Recommended: Yes Usage: Kady has used this item for about a month.

Matt, Michigan Sep 22nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Makes acne go away faster Cons: - Even though it gets rid of pimples faster, new ones seem to pop right back up. - Dries out/irritates skin Bottom Line: I've used this product for a year and a half and my acne has been the exact same ever since. My dermatologist prescribed it for me, as well as many other products. It's all a scam in my opinion, they just want you to blow your money on stuff that doesnt work and for you to keep visiting them.
