Pros:

cleared up acne really fast!

Cons:

it smells! and it dries out skin and makes it splochy and red, so use lots of moisturizer.

use a good moisturizer, exfoliate and cleanse skin, then use the creme...it will clear up your skin really fast!

Pros:

Cleared me up for a couple of weeks

Cons:

Dried me out like crazy and wasnt consistant

I thought I liked it at first...it cleared me and reduced my oil..then after a few weeks i was so dry even with moisterizer and it stopped working. I am reccomending it No...but I only gave it 3 weeks.

Pros:

It got rid of some pimples on my chin

Cons:

It totally dried my skin and made it flaky. After I used it my skin stung and hurt so bad and my whole face was red as if I had a sunburn.

I've only been using if for a week or so but the side effects have been horrible. I dont know if I should continue using it or not. Will my skin eventually get used to it?

Pros:

I have not yet experienced any dryness (I have been using this product for around three days) and it has effectively cleared some of my acne.

Cons:

The advice within the packet recommended using the product at the same time every day, which I find difficult.

Though I have had limited experience with this product, I would recommend it for light acne. I never used to have major breakouts, but I just started on the contraceptive pill and it's contributed to an increase in whiteheads etc. After reading the reviews above I am a bit concerned about flaking and peeling, but I shall make sure to apply more moisturiser to hopefully prevent this. I haven't yet had this side effect and haven't experienced and redness or irritation. So far, so good. =)

Pros:

Unscented and easy to apply to skin although takes a while to sink in using large doses. Did not really make my skin red when first starting using it.

Cons:

This product started off good for me (some clearing but not complete, a reduction in spot size), but after using the product for about 6 weeks now i can reveal that im back to my original spotty state when i first started the regimen ..Gutted

It was working hard on my spot all be it very slowly. Ultimately after 6 weeks now i would have expected to see much better results (had better skin about a week ago, now massive breakout) considering i was dedicated to the application. Also, the product is quite expensive at least a fiver a go. Doesnt last a long time, especially with Dan's suggested amounts. Takes ages to apply into the skin, applications could take upto 10 to 15 mins!! Overall i think its average, i think i may have paid the price of having a binge alcohol session at the weekend but personally, for 6 weeks use, i expected a clearer face (ive had less spots using no treatments!!)

Pros:

This works on any mild breakouts on the back or chest.

Cons:

Not useful on cystic acne on the face/jawline. I also find it bleaches clothing sometimes.

I have been on accutane twice. Both times, my skin cleared up beautifully. I went 1 year after the first one before breaking out horribly again. It's been 5 years since the last time, and now I'm getting horrible breakouts on my jawline and chin. It's depressing and annoying! The Brevoxyl does not help this at all. It's very frustrating. I am putting YES for recommend for back/chest but not for cystic acne or face.
