Aczone is not a last resort drug. Its supposed to be used all over the face, but I just use to spot treat. Its better on inflamed acne than comedal acne. I find, that for me, it didnt do much for p...

Ive used Taz in the past. I used it for about 2 months before I started severly breaking out in huge cysts. I was prescribed this after being on differin for years. I complained to my derm about ha...

a retinoid is used forever as long term maintenance after your acne clears. Once you stop, your pores will slowly beging to clog again, and before you know it, you're back to where you started. If y...

cleared me wonderfully while I was on it for 3 years. It took a while but it came back full force, maybe even worse, and discontinuing it. Im currently back on it, after a 3 year hiatus due to an ex...

do you get acne there that you are putting the differin on your ears? and not sure why this would affect your eyelids unless you are applying there as well. Sounds like maybe some sort of contact de...

I'm on my 3rd week of using Acanya gel. I really like it so far, but I'm still getting spots on my face. I have mild acne, and before using Acanya I would usually have 5 or 6 spots on my face at a tim...

I had success w/ Bactrim for approx 3 years, 95% or better clear. I was taken off because I was on it so long. I slowly regressed to where I was pre-Bactrim and I was prescribed Accutane, which my l...

Ive used it for years and it was great. I used in the morning and a retinoid at night. Was over 95% clear for over 3 years, then something happened and now if no longer effective. Could be getting ...
