Have any of you guys tried these? I got them prescribed this week because the pill, diet, lifestyle, or supplements won't clear my hormonal acne anymore. In my experience every time I find something that works, it eventually stops working/being enough. Is that likely to happen with these topicals? My derm said that wasn't the question, that it was about whether it's going to be enough to clear me up. I just like to think ahead. I'm so tired of thinking I finally found something that works, only to get a bad breakout 8 months later when I haven't changed a thing.

Majority of topical antibiotics will eventually stop working because you / the bacteria will become resistant to it.

I've checked out the reviews for both of them. So what do people do in the scenario? Do they move on to other types of antibiotic topicals? Seems like a very short term solution.
