Pros:

face feels smooth, soft and somewhat healthier

Cons:

some dry areas around the nose. I've been on it for two weeks now and I'm not seeing the overall positive results as anticipated at this point. acne seems to be somewhat better.

will keep using to monitor results.

Pros:

Clears existing acne....only have to use at bedtime....dont have to take an antibiotic orally

Cons:

I developed some bigger "bumps" that never came to a head...they took long to go away....the product also made the side of my chin and eyelids itchy....

I have been using this product for almost a month and I am still waiting to see better results.....I have read all over that it takes at least 6 weeks to see overall benefits.....I am a bit dry on my face and itchy but overall seems to be working........I am gonna stick it out longer to say for sure if this product works well

Pros:

Easy to apply, one tube lasts awhile, slight clearing, two medicines in one,nightly application

Cons:

Irritates skin (no peeling, but some redness occurs)

This medication works decent, but its nothing great. Try it and see if it works better for you.

Pros:

It really works!

Cons:

Shockingly expensive for those of us without prescription drug insurance!

It worked! At first, as many others have said, skin did get worse. It took a few weeks of it looking awful before face started to clear up. But, now it looks terrific! I am thrilled with results. However, I have to stress that this medicine is not for those without drug coverage. I paid $305.00 at CVS for the large tube. No, that is not a misprint. I actually paid $305.00 for a tube of acne medicine!!! Bottom line: it does seem to work, but if you don't have coverage, ask your derm for some cheaper alternatives. This drug does not come in generic, but there ARE other alternatives that do.

Pros:

My doctor said it is great for anti-aging...

Cons:

Dsoes not really dry, remains sticky on skin after applying which I noticed no one said but that bothers me because it gets all over my pillow when applied at night...and in the morning it cannot be used at all in my opinion b/c it remains sticky.

It may work for some people, it's worth trying if you have severe acne. If you have the occasional pimple...? I am not sure. My doctor did tell me he likes it for anti-aging also and recommended I put it all over my face, including by my eyes...although I will say it will dry your skin out and leave it red...when that happens, I think it helps to discontinue for a day or so to help with the dryness/redness.

Pros:

amazing. it works wonders, and I'm so happy.
Photography is a passion of mine. Now I'm not only more confident taking pictures of objects and others, I'm more confident in photos of myself.

Cons:

priceyyy. and makes you very sensitive to sunlight.

good product. careful in the summer. worth the money.

Pros:

I had bacne for a long time now. I would tell anyone to use this for your back! My bacne is just about gone after 3 weeks! For my face, however, I apply it at night, and my face feels really oily, but I think it's slowly working

Cons:

Like I said, very oily and at night it sticks to my pillow, but after 3 weeks, it's slowly working. Just be patient and don't use it in the morning.

If you don't mind your skin being a little oily for a few hours, I guess you can try this. I would say you should use it at night rather than day. But like I said, I used it for my back, with epiduo in the morning, and I got amazing results! My face is still questionable, because I use ziana at night, and epiduo in the morning. But Everyone will get different results I guess. Good luck!
