Pros:

This stuff is amazing!!
In two weeks my problem areas cytsic deep scarring pustules are all but history..My skin looks great!!

Cons:

None at all,even the price is worth paying for something that actually for a change works..
Bit tingly at first but at least you know its working away..
Seemed to bring out a few whitehead where acne was worse but thats all gone now....

Throw every anti-botic and other topical away and get this stuff.. No word of lie its amazing stuff!! And stick with it for at least two weeks!!

Pros:

A miracle, seriously! Non-drying nor irritating. Visible results in approx. 1 month, full results in 3 months.

Cons:

Itchy feeling (about 5mins) for the first month or so, but as the acne clears up it will subside. (Just think of it as a way to tell its working!)

If Differin or another Retin-A product hasn't worked for you I strongly recommend giving Azelex a try. Be patient and be fairly strict about your daily regime, face cleanser, followed by azelex, then oil-free moisterizer w/sunscreen 2x daily. Has completely saved my self-esteem which anyone with acne can relate too. Kind of expensive, my insurance used to give me a 50g tube for $35 but they bumped me down to the smaller 30g tube for the same price. One tube lasts about 2 months. Worth every penny tho. Lastly I use this product in along w/ minocycline, antibiotics are great option if you have moderate to severe acne.

Pros:

not harsh on your skin
different then all the other acne meds!

Cons:

i have yet to find any, i wish it came in a bigger container! haha

honestly, this is a miracle worker. I feel beautiful again...I had minimal pimples up until the end of my freshmen year of college, i went home, and all of a sudden i burst out in giant welty acne all over my chin, i felt ugly, and it hurt all the time. My dermatologist recommended this other scary med that has alot of side effects, so i opted for Azelex and some antibiotics, and together it was an instant change! Not only have my big bumps gone away, but the scars are slowly going too!!!! YAYY!!! I occasionally get a big one starting, but i put azelex on, and it goes away! In a matter of days!! Its amazing. it really is....

Pros:

IT´S THE GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER TRIED FOR MY FACE IT ACTUALLY WORKS.

Cons:

IT DOES STING FOR A LITTLE WHILE BUT THEN YOU GET USED TO IT THE REWARDS ARE GREAT

I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING BEFORE AND THIS IS HTE ONLY THING THAT HAS EVER REALLY ACTUALLY WORKED IN SUCH A SHORT TERM. AND I HAD THE SEVERE CYSTIC ACNE TYPE. IT ACTUALLY EVEN HELPS YOU IN DIMINISHING YOUR SCARS AND BROWN SPOTS. EVERYONE SHOULD TRY THIS. EVEN IF YOU DONT HAVE ANY INSURANCE IT IS VERY WELL WORHT OF YOUR PENNIES.

Pros:

A miracle drug! Works FAST! One application took my skin from a hot crazy mess to almost clear! Tighter pores, vanishing pimples, just an overall reversal of many types of acne. It kills acne on your face, instantly!

Cons:

None so far

There's no need to suffer the daily misery of bad skin when this drug is available! I'm almost 39 and had never experienced such terrible outbreaks. My Dr. rx'd finacea and within one application, my husband noticed my skin was "pretty, the way it used to be". This is a miracle drug that treats hormonal break-outs and all sorts of acne. I was able to attend a party that I had declined because I was too embarrassed for people to see my skin. I can't believe one gel can accomplish all that it does. I've used all sorts of treatments and this is BY FAR, the best! My skin was a sickening, grotesque mess from my hairline all the way down to my neck and finacea radically changed it in one application. My entire face was full of acne, all kinds: whiteheads, blackheads, cysts, redness, bumps. Finacea knocked it out w/one punch. I'm still shocked. Finacea is amazing. I haven't had skin like this since I was eleven years old. I'm so thankful.

Pros:

my skin looks amazing. I tried differin, the pill, and several other thing before and they didn't do a darn thing.

Cons:

It does burn. I started using it just once a day or every other day and I use it sparingly and this has helped. Don't just slather a bunch on... it'll most likely burn and irritate your skin!

Fantastic. my skin has never looked better.

Pros:

My skin looks 3times better than before

Cons:

Sometimes very itching and irritating.

I have found that now when i wash my face is cold water before applying that it helps with the burning, most people wash with warm water leaving the pores open and more prone for burning.... My skin looks great I kid you not I have tried everything and even the dark spots are disappearing. I use this in conjunction with a glycolic toner from Dr. Milton Moore in Houston TX... It helps trust me... Get any glycolic product and use during day WOW is all I can say

Pros:

Worked well for acne scars, and wearable under makeup. Didn't make my face oily like clindamycin. Definitely noticeable decrease in breakouts.

Cons:

Does dryout skin a bit and definitely does make the sensitive areas of my face itch like crazy, but the results are worth it.

I have dual prescription coverage so I try a lot of different remedies for my acne, I really liked the azelex because it helped my oil control as well as the acne and acne scars. it may be expensive if you don't have good insurance but I think it's worth it.
