Pros:

Excellent cream that works very quickly even if used once a day. Used this cream before I got pregnant and my acne went by 90%. Stopped throughout pregnancy and now back on and its working its magic again. Still have minor small whiteheads.

Cons:

Itches & burns like crazy for upto 30 minutes after application. Use a desktop fan to cool your face whilst the itching is happening!

Great cream that does work in quite a quick time. My acne is moderate and its really helping. But I will say I can understand if people would not use it because the itching is awful, in fact I have to stand outside in cool air cos its agony! Luckily its not for long and the benefits of this cream outweigh a few minutes of itching.

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:

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.

Pros:

Works WONDERFULLY at reducing acne; no side effects for me; started working in two weeks; reduces redness and inflammation

Cons:

Pimples already there have to clear up on their own (finacea won't help)

I love Finacea. I am sensitive to antibiotics and my derm wanted to try this before we went to a topical antibiotic. 12 weeks later, she was very pleased with the condition of my skin and said I didn't need a topical antibiotic. I still break out, but nowhere near what I was (and the pimples are not severe like before). My skin is much smoother and calmer. Also, I've had basically no side effects. I use it with Retin-A and have been pleased. My dermatologist thinks it will keep getting better now.

Pros:

I have rosacia and this product in one week made my skin more clear, took out the red and is very smooth.

Cons:

It can sting and itch for the first 15 minutes after applied, but I read that will subside in time once your skin gets used to the product.

I highly recommend this to anyone with rosacia or acne. It seems to work wonders for me and now that I have trid it and see very good results will continue to use it on a daily basis. It also gives your skin a more youthful appearance. So, it has an anti ageing affect too!!! Great stuff!
