Pros:

Clears up acne a little

Cons:

Takes a while to start seeing results
doestn't fully clear acne
dries our skin bad

I tried this stuff for my acne and was disappointed. It was a prescription from my doctor, and I tried it for a couple of years. It seemed to reduce acne, but never get rid of it. It treated current zits/pimples but didn't protect that well for new ones coming. My face was also dried out badly after using it for a while.

Pros:

all acne goes away in 3 weeks, treats new acne in 2 days.

Cons:

makes skin very dry, and iyt peels the skin. Does not do anything for acne scars which occursafter it takes care off the acne. I think it prolongs the scars' healing.

this does really work well on acne but not acne scars.

Pros:

It used to work really well for me and then...OH DEAR GOODNESS!

Cons:

Stopped using it for a while (chanded to something I thought was more severe then swapped back when I had cleared a good bit) then used 1 night. Woke up to a red face; like I had been sun-burnt! I looked like a lobster and no amount of make covered.

Depends on you; worked great and then I reacted badly. I would say proceed with caution and also patch-test before hand. I found it dried my skin and was slightly painful even at the best of times.

Pros:

- Controls breakouts
- Reduces inflamation quickly
- Affordable

Cons:

- Takes a while for skin to adjust to the product. it causes initial drying and peeling
- Leaves horrible red marks after the spot has gone away

I have moderate acne and sometimes break out in really painful spots. I found this product helped to reduce inflammation greatly however overall time for spot to completely go away is longer because of the horrible red marks left over. Usually i dont get red marks and they fade quickly but I still have bright red marks left over from spots a month ago! It also caused my skin to peel as it is quite strong..but this didnt last very long. after about a week my skin adjusted to it and it doesnt peel anymore.

Pros:

Gets rid of acne, definetly.

Cons:

It dries out the skin, and the topical gel part of it will stay on the day after if you use too much.

Use it every other day and you won't have to worry about peeling and dryness.

Pros:

cleared SOME pimples.

Cons:

pricey.

at first, it was good, but after a while, i got big pimples. the whiteheads, were going away. i don't have blackheads so i don't have to worry about that. i used this in the morning, and differin at night. lately, i put this on, and put panoxyl on the big pimples. but it left black marks. thank GOD for makeup. i think its effective. i'm taking oral meds too now. i'm taking erythromycin. it's my first day and my stomach is killing me.

Pros:

Clears skin, 10 bucks with insurance.

Cons:

Drying

This used to be my miracle cure back in high school. I used to swear by it, but since i got on birth control it doesn't do anything for my hormonal acne. It won't completely CURE acne but it definitely got rid of my teen acne within a week with no scarring too! STAY AWAY FROM TOO MUCH SUN EXPOSURE though because you WILL peeeel, and get flaky. my skin type is oily by the way & i used a 10% benzoyl peroxide wash with this at the time.

Pros:

Dries up oily skin fast, allowing the anti-biotic to instantly start making pimples go away, and stop more from forming,

Cons:

Dry skin, but thats with any acne treatment product

Very good. Even though i have been using this for 2 days, i can still already feel results. if you have insurance, then i definitely reccomend this to anyone with acne breakouts

Pros:

Does not smell, Easy to apply, Quick Results, Perfect for overnight application

Cons:

Does make skin on the face a little tight, Expensive!

Excellent! I have used it for only a couple of days but have got great noticeable results after the first overnight application!! I was amazed with the results - I usually don't have acne but I got heaps and heaps randomly and it affected my life dramatically to the point where I didn't want to leave the house. I went doctors and got this cream/gel prescribed and I am also taking Doxycycline Tablets to complement the cream treatment!! I would recommend this product to anyone really who are affected by acne - it will clear your skin up not only fast but well!!! The product isn't superstrong - Don't put too much on and you should be fine. I have only experienced my face feeling a little tight where applied but it's not bad! Make sure to stick to it and wash your face before using the product! ONCE DAILY ONLY :) BUT YES BOTTOM LINE! AWESOME PRODUCT! Best I have ever tried. AUD$59 is quite expensive but getting rid of my acne has now given me back my confidence which is to me
