I started using 6% Triaz cleanser two weeks ago. My face is clearing some but I'm experiencing an itchy rash. Can anyone relate?

Pros:

clears out your skin of excess oil and acne

Cons:

none!

it works. i just went to the dermatologist and got a few samples, and they haven't ran out yet. i use this and the differin gel, and they've been working great! i would recommend this to anyone with mild to severe acne.

Pros:

Face feels softer, no bleaching of eyebrows/hairline (yet), reducing acne and blackheads (gradually)

Cons:

Could potentially bleach hair or fabric, expensive

I have (had?) mild-moderate acne with cystic pimples along my jawline, chin, and occasionally on the forehead, along with a few whiteheads on cheeks and/or forehead, and the normal blackheads on nose. That sounds worse than it is, since I'd usually have 1-2 cystic pimples at any one time, and then the same number of whiteheads. The first week of use, using the 6% cloths, I broke out with four new cystic pimples. They were painful and very stubborn lasting 2-4 weeks each. This is 2-3x the number I would normally have at any given time. However, I am now about 6 weeks into the system, and have had only one new cystic pimple since that initial break-out. I continue to have the occasional whitehead, and while I have noticed an improvement on my nose, the pores on my cheeks are still large. I would say that my skin is showing signs of improvement, and unless my dermatologist recommends otherwise at my 6 week follow-up, I will continue with Triaz. The biggest pro, in my opinion, to Triaz over another BP product is that it is used in the shower and is rinsed off in a safe environment where it can do less damage. I'm not bleaching any towels, t-shirts, etc. with its use (I have white towels-they look fine), whereas a topical BP product could damage clothes/furniture/towels. I am using Triaz in conjunction with Ziana, which seems to be a very common combo as both are made by the same drug company and their pharm reps are doing their job. I am pleased with this combo thus far, having had no major irritations and am seeing fewer new pimples. For reference, Triaz is a third tier prescription on my insurance's formulary, so you may have to be specific that you want Triaz and not the generic. I have several coupons from my doctor which reduce the price to $10 a month from the insurance co-pay of $60. The pharmacy's label on the box tells me that my insurance saved me more than $300.

Pros:

It has noticably started to clear my skin within a short period of time, in conjunction with other prescriptions. I like the consistency of the cleanser (foamy) and the cloths seem to exfoliate the skin somewhat and make it very soft.

Cons:

None, really. I Have fairly sensitive skin and this never really gave me any reaction other than slight redness that went away quickly.

I use these 6% bezoyl peroxide cloths in addition to Differin .3% gel at night and a minocycline antibiotic. My dermatologist gave me a ton of samples so I haven't had to actually pay anything, but apparently it's pretty expensive. I have tried every OTC product and many prescriptions in the past and nothing has worked better than this!
