Cons:

Pros:

Clear skin

Cons:

cost

I am in my 40's and have tryed everything on the market twice to help my acme,nothing ever worked. i even have two scares on my cheeks that they tryed to remove cystes, when the stiches came out there was more cystes under the old ones so I did not expect much,but was very surprised I have a cyst on my chin that has been there for 4years,it has finally opened up and is going away.I am very happy. I is a little drying for my skin so I use it every other day. I am going to try it on the scarrs that would be soooo great if it worked on them

Pros:

It didn't cause me to break out in hives and I noticed no adverse reactions in about 3 weeks of using it.

Cons:

There was a slight drying of skin and a strange odor which left my pillow smelling like the medicine. In the morning, I noticed bits of what looked like dead skin on my face. Not sure what that was!

Don't use a lot of this product if your skin is sensitive! Do the recommended dose or your skin will probably dry out as much as these other people state. I did one limabean-sized (bigger than a pea-size I know) for the "4-dot-areas" on my face, a pea-sized dot for my neck, and then a pea-sized dot for each shoulder and I never suffered extensive peeling or drying. In fact, I'm pretty sure the possible side-effects list the drying, severe redness, and peeling to be a sign to STOP using this product. If you follow the directions on the package (i.e. washing your face before application, waiting until your face is completely dry before applying, and then using the recommended amount) then you will probably use this product with no problems. I used it for a combined 3 weeks before I was told to stop and try something else based on an allergic reaction I had to Minocycline. This stuff was expensive even with good insurance but my doctor gave me a $30 rebate so I was happy

Pros:

Works well. Huge tube for free with coupon.

Cons:

Price after coupon is outrageous. Causes diarrhea for many people. Dries lips a little.

Great product if you have no side effects. My girlfriend used this once for her acne as well and had horrible diarrhea. I used this with minocycline. It may make your acne much worse if you use it alone. Even with the combination, I started getting minor bumps in places I have never had acne. After about a week or two those went away and my skin is better than it has ever been after 9+ years of acne. If you need more than one big tube it will cost something like 500 dollars. Even if you have decent insurance, why do you think premiums are skyrocketing? People buying things like this with their insurance without considering the cost.

Pros:

Worked initially.

Cons:

Stopped working after a week. Make skin red and dry.

The first time i used this i was amazed with the results. My active pimples were almost completely dried up by the next morning. Unfortunately, it stopped working for me after a week. It also made my skin very red (I have fair skin).

Pros:

none!!

Cons:

I hate this stuff, it made my face super oily and made my acne 10 million times worse!! Waste of money, I wouldn't have payed a penny for this stuff if I knew what it was going to do to me.

Good for you people that it worked on, but in my case it didn't!!! I went through about 5 weeks of "just keep useing it" from my derm. The sad part is I was excited to use this crap. Ugh, my acne was the worse i've ever seen it. I didn't want to leave the house and cried when I looked in the mirror. And if it would ever work... who wants to wait 12 freaking weeks?! Not me. I'm not saying don't try it, but it didn't work for me. Who knows, it may work for you but you never know if you don't try. But, if your acne worsens and doesn't get better for about hmmm 2 or 3 weeks pitch it and go to the derm to switch! I switched and my acne is almost clear in about a week thanks to finacea :). That is my "it" cream. Don't give up on finding yours. It's out there, trust me!

Pros:

Clears up acne fast, small amount only used, tightens skin, not oily, dries fast once on

Cons:

Price if you don't have insurance, if you use to much you will look like you have a sunburn and then skin peals.

I like this product a lot. Make sure you only use on a pea size amount. I learned the hard way every day use for me was to much, so I only use it ever other day now. It cleared up my skin fast. When ever I start to feel manila or see a pimple coming I put a little on. When I first started using it I used two pea sizes, 3 days in a row, and the 4th day my face was sensitive to the sun screen, it was pink and then it pealed in some places. So only use the 1 pea size. Make sure to get the coupon from the derm, as it saved me $35. So I only payed $15.

Pros:

Not as drying as some topicals

Cons:

Doesn't work, very expensive

Didnt notice any difference at all and it was over $300 dollar without insurance. Now Im stuck with a half used tube of worthless clear gel.

Pros:

combines a powerful antibiotic in Clindamycin 1.2% and Tretinoin .025%

Cons:

the tretinoin content is low so i have to use a fair amount. That can leave skin sticky.

ITS GETS RID OF YOUR ACNE, used Duac (benzol and clin) and differin gel before the summer, I didn't work, I started Ziana in the summer while i was working and living in the woods with no AC and it cleared my acne in about a month. it says only use a pea sized dose, I use alot more and it works great.
