Not Working
I've used it correctly for one month now and I'm still getting break-outs (so it didn't even at the very least stop more acne from growing) and it hasn't even begun to clear the acne that was already there. For $500 I would expect this topical to be more effective and aggressive, but it's pretty weak and not worth the price in any way shape or form. I've used over-the-counter products that have cleared my acne, or at the very least stopped more acne from happening, in 2 weeks yet this $500 prescription hasn't done anything at all in one month and needs 6 months to work? 6 months? I hate to break it to you but if your acne starts improving FINALLY after 3-6 months, it's because it cleared up on it's own, again, finally, after all that time. Had nothing to do with this extremely slow acting, ineffective topical. Would have rather spend $500 on something more aggressive, effective, and of better quality. If I cared to wait 6 months just for my acne to clear up, I would have done it for free by simply waiting.

Pros:

none

Cons:

-my skin PEELED
-made my forehead breakout with little bumps everywhere
-my skin was super sensitive, red, and inflamed
-did not stop my breakouts
-it had to damage my skin

I have suffered from acne for as long as I can remember. I don't have insurance, so when I had the opportunity to go to the dermo I was ecstatic! They gave a prescription for veltin. I went to the pharmacy, and because I do not have insurance this veltin costs 300.00!!! I truly believed that this veltin was the answer to all my prayers! PLUS I thought because a doctor told me it would help it WOULD! This product did ABSOLUTELY nothing for me. Actually, it made my skin 1000 times worse! It was like I was shedding my skin and my forehead brokeout in little bumps all over my! Now I am trying to help my skin rebuild to the way it was before veltin. :( btw. if i could rate it a negative I would :(
