Pros:

-Clears back acne/ chest acne
-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

Cons:

cost

Just wanted to let everyone know that the company offers a rebate on the evoclin foam. For the large bottle it is $40 or half your copay (whichever is less), this helps to make it a little more affordable. I got the first rebate from from my doctor and after that they sent a new one with each rebate check. I have been using this stuff for a few years and it is the only thing that works.

Pros:

Its very easy to use and i saw some results the first two weeks i was using it.I have a minor break out on my chin but thats about it. I believe that is a result of me not taking doxycline everyday.

Cons:

Very expensive. I spend about 91 dollars on this at the drug store. I dont understand how some people on here had paid 30 and 40? I havent seen much results in my body acne though. Maybe ill have to give that more time.

Cleared up my skin for the most part minus the minor things on my chin. Didnt clear up body acne yet, and is on the expensive side. I would say give this product a try its worth a shot. Everyone had different effects from a product. So ignore the negative remarks. It might do wonders for your skin.

Pros:

Easy to use, absorbs quickly

Cons:

Extremely greasy

I have never had breakouts so bad in my entire life. I used it for two months to no avail. The day I stopped using it my entire family noticed a major difference! It didn't work for me but there is a girl in my dorm who uses it and it seems to work for her. Oh well its worth a shot.

Pros:

This product does, in fact, clear up acne...BUT, in the process it dries the skin (I used once/day). Also, it does something to the skin causing your skin to look slightly aged (after only 2 weeks of use). ALSO, pimples become dried under the skin...

Cons:

causing them to form UNDER the skin (which we all know is the worse thing to happen since hell opened up). This product reminds me of Natures Cure and how it stops pimples but does'nt eliminate them completely while they're under the skin

Use Tea tree oil; it's much more cost efficient, performs WAY better, doesn't dry the skin (if used sparingly), and you will have a much better outcome...please trust and believe me, I've been comparing these and other products for a very Long time!

Pros:

It gets rid of some of the redness and helps to dry up individual pimples and you can see it working within several minutes. It is also VERY consistant meaning it will always take at least a little redness away but never all of it.

Cons:

Burns some for people with sensitive skin and also isnt 100% effective. Also leaves the skin red when applying all over the face instead of just individual treatment

It works BUT!! DO NOT OVER LOAD YOU SKIN with it. Don't be like me and think that by applying a sh*t load that it would clear my pimples up quicker. It actually dried out the skin and irritated the acne making it worse. i would use for on-the-spot treatment only when used in moderation, this stuff really works

Pros:

It is easily absorbed and lasts long.

Cons:

Not good, dries out skin, and irritates it! MADE IT WORSE!

It has actually made my face worse, and it also dried it up and made my lips peel. My friend also found it NOT to work. Don't waste your time and money.

Pros:

Because it's foam, it's not as drying. No initial breakout. Fast results.

Cons:

Nothing miraculous, stopped working after a while, became watery after some time

After my doctor gave me samples, I decided to give it a try. It didn't cure my acne, but it did greatly improve my skin overall. I did still breakout occasionally if I was really stressed out or on my period. Another good thing was that a little bit goes a long way. A sample can (30 mL I think?) lasted me about 3 months. After about 6 months, however, my cysts were coming back so I stopped using Evoclin. Now my cystic acne has gotten so bad that I went to the dermatologist and I am about to start Ziana and oral antibiotics. I'm pretty confident, however, that Evoclin will clear up mild acne, not cystic acne.

Pros:

Light, not greasy. Easy to apply and didnt dry my skin out.

Cons:

Even though its "fragrance free" it still smells to me.

Been using for for little over a month and its pretty good so far. It really made my skin smooth and helped A LOT with the blackheads. If your insurance doesnt cover it, its a lot of money. I like that it doesnt make my skin shiny after im done washing. However it hasnt worked in my body acne. So far its pretty good.
