Pros:

I am pregnant and needed something that was safe during pregnancy but effective...pregnancy acne is hormonal and I was VERY skeptical if a topical could improve my skin. I just started the product last night, and already the pimples are reduced!!

Cons:

Cost. It was 60 bucks AFTER what the insurance covered.

worth a try...if you have acne then you know, if there's a chance it can give you your confidence back, 60 bucks is a small price to pay!

Pros:

I can't believe how well it worked! Reduced redness by nearly 50%. Helps with existing pimples as well as wards off new ones.

Cons:

A bit of a burning feeling and my face did get red but settled down within minutes.

I am a late in life acne sufferer and was facing the whole Accutane "do I or don't I" question. I was basically running out of options. My doc gave me a sample of this miracle in a can and gave me hope. If you are given this treatment as an option, take it. If you aren't ask for it. It really works.

Pros:

I actually haven't bought the prescription yet as my insurance does not cover it.

Cons:

Does anyone know of any other perscription assistance with this product doctor says I need it but it is sooo expensive.

My acne is getting really bad and I am tired of it. But this evoclin costs up to 300 dollars. Help!

Pros:

It gets rid of some of the redness and helps to dry up individual pimples and you can see it working within several minutes. It is also VERY consistant meaning it will always take at least a little redness away but never all of it.

Cons:

Burns some for people with sensitive skin and also isnt 100% effective. Also leaves the skin red when applying all over the face instead of just individual treatment

It works BUT!! DO NOT OVER LOAD YOU SKIN with it. Don't be like me and think that by applying a sh*t load that it would clear my pimples up quicker. It actually dried out the skin and irritated the acne making it worse. i would use for on-the-spot treatment only when used in moderation, this stuff really works

Pros:

it works--loved the foam

Cons:

side effects--cramping, diahrea

I used this in total for a bit over 1 year--about 7 or 8 months in i got really bad cramps and bad diahrea which I didn't realize was caused by the evoclin til after i discontinued use and the cramps stopped. Unfortunately, the diahrea didn't, and I STILL (after 2 years), have problems which I believe were caused by this medication. I Would still be using it if it weren't for the terrible side effects that I feel like temporarily or permanently screwed up my innards :) lovely. good luck.

Pros:

I think it's the best thing there is, it works, not immediately, it get's worse and than starts clearing it all up!

Cons:

It burns when you first start using it, it doesn't seem to dry my face out like everyone else!

If you have bad blackheads or acne like I do on my nose, you should give this product a chance, it really works!

Pros:

I feels great on my skin. I have mild acne and this seems to work VERY WELL for me.

Cons:

It did burn the first few times I used it, but got better. Now it doesn't burn at all... more like tingles. It does have a tendency to make your skin feel dry. I just use a moisterizer the morning after I apply it after cleansing. Works for me!

It clears up brekouts and keeps my skin free of acne and blemishes while I am using it. I was lucky and my Dr. gave me a sample of it to use. Which is a pretty good sized can... 50grams. Can't beat free! Now I am in for trouble the next time I get it, as I do not have insurance. So that will stink.

Pros:

it works

Cons:

cost

Just wanted to let everyone know that the company offers a rebate on the evoclin foam. For the large bottle it is $40 or half your copay (whichever is less), this helps to make it a little more affordable. I got the first rebate from from my doctor and after that they sent a new one with each rebate check. I have been using this stuff for a few years and it is the only thing that works.
