Pros:

Very light texture, does not leave a film on your face. Not too drying, very cheap if you have insurance and get generic. Works slowly but effectively.

Cons:

Not a miracle drug...like every other medication it takes time to see results.

I see a lot of folks complaining about symptoms that are totally avoidable. For instance, if it is drying cut down on usage. Use a light oil free moisturizer after you apply it. As with any antibiotics it is always best to take some sort of probiotic to protect your GI. See, the antibiotics kill good and bad bacteria in your gi....thus causing stomach problems like loose stools. If you take a probiotic it gives you back the good bactieria to protect against bad bacteria. I have very mild acne, with most of it being comedomes, my skin is 60% dry 40% oily. This does not dry my skin out and I use differin with it. I also ease into any new tx to give my skin time to adjust. Personally, I like this product. Will continue to use till my face decides other wise.

-Easy to apply
-Tingles
-It DOES work
-You can get a discount card

Cons:

-Works extremely slowly
-Must continue to use it
-May dry out skin
-Can be expensive

I haven't noticed any results until about a month or two. But it does clear it, slowly but surely. I am still not clear, but the redness and pimples (especially on my arms) have gone down a lot. Must continue use or it will stop working

Pros:

It works fast, it feels good and its the only thing that has ever worked for me

Cons:

It super expensive! But worth the price

I had acne all throughout high school. This stuff works well and fast, but is pretty pricey! Worth the try if you have already tried many others

Pros:

I feels great on my skin. I have mild acne and this seems to work VERY WELL for me.

Cons:

It did burn the first few times I used it, but got better. Now it doesn't burn at all... more like tingles. It does have a tendency to make your skin feel dry. I just use a moisterizer the morning after I apply it after cleansing. Works for me!

It clears up brekouts and keeps my skin free of acne and blemishes while I am using it. I was lucky and my Dr. gave me a sample of it to use. Which is a pretty good sized can... 50grams. Can't beat free! Now I am in for trouble the next time I get it, as I do not have insurance. So that will stink.

Pros:

It's very light, absorbs quickly, and clears my acne.

Cons:

difficult to apply to scalp.

I was prescribed it for my scalp which has terrible breakouts that are really painful and it does help considerably but it is difficult to apply through my hair. I started using it on my face too and it's amazing for that. It does dry my skin out so I just alternate it with a light lotion and it's all better.

Pros:

This is the best product ive ever used! I started getting acne at 12 years old all over my face, and and over the years have tried many different products from proactiv to several kinds of pills. Ever since my dermatologist perscribed me evoclin ive been 95% acne free.

Cons:

Yes it drys up the skin and does burn slightly but its deffinatley worth it, you know its actually working right as you apply it. It does take a few weeks to start seeing the results. And this probably would be costly without good insurance. I pay 15 bucks after using a 50 dollar rebate card.

Deffinatley worth to try has saved me alot of grief, i hope this product never goes off the market for any reason.

Pros:

cleared up cystic acne on back and chest
foam is easy to apply

Cons:

can't travel with it - bottle is too large and because it is a foam, you can't put it in a smaller bottle

I had severe cystic acne on my back and chest from stress and other causes. After using Evoclin for a month, I have not had a single breakout. I can't say enough about the effectiveness of this product. However, you must be consistent with your usage. I can immediately tell the difference if I forget for a few days. I use it every time I get out of the shower. I would recommend washing your hands off afterwards because the product can really dry out cuticles, etc. Ask your Dr. for a prescription discount card.

It's a bit greasy feeling at first but absorbs quickly.

It's a great product and i highly reccomend it!

Pros:

Easy to use, little to no scent, no residue, doesn't stain or stick to clothing. Very effective on chest and bacne. As part of combination therapy, significantly reduced redness and bumps within one week.

Cons:

A bit pricey but worth it.

Great as part of combination therapy for mild to moderate body acne (Septra, BP 8% wash, and Evoclin). Guys with hairy chests: this works very well. I trim as part of regular grooming, but still keep some hair growth. Evoclin works just fine. Might work better on smooth skin, but for those not interested in waxing or shaving regularly Evoclin worked well for me.

Pros:

Can be used to maintain a clearup.

Cons:

This is not heavy artillery. Overpriced. 45 w/m insurance, 150-175 without for 100g.

I have a foliculitus-like chronic infection in the scalp. Its simple - raised white headed legions that form on my scalp - not really a big deal but the spread and make for a bumpy surface and are irritating, this condition is exacerated by getting my haircut. I needed systemic antibiotics to reliably clean up the infection, but it would recur easily, despite extreme hygeine, using hibiclens, AB soap, etc. This stuff can keep this chronic condition at bay after a systemic course of something like Keflex. The price needs to be cut.
