BURNT my face raw
wow this is the worst product I have ever purchased i was recommended it by my doctor as it's reccomendrd by dermatologists and I was reading reviews and found that many others experienced the same pains I have, I used it for the first time and felt a burning on my face, I began to get used to it but then the burning was so bad and I had to remove it, now my face feels raw and burns so badly I'm in so much pain. Never. Buy. This. Product.

Worst product I've ever used on my skin(Effaclar duo plus)
I absolutely hate this product. It was recommended to me by my dermatologist and my skin went from having one or two cysts to cyst-pustule hell in just a couple of days. My cheeks (where I usually breakout) are completely covered with acne (30+ pimples, I'm not even kidding) and the scarring, oh God, the scarring is horrible. I've never had such a horrible reaction to a product like this. I went to look over the ingredients of this thing on cosdna and I found out that it has a bunch of comedogenic ingredients. My skin has never looked this bad before. I'm so depressed.

Don't waste your $
I've never found 1 single over the counter product that works. I use to have terrible acne, but then I started something called Erythromycin-Benzoyl Peroxide Topical Gel. I pay 15$ every 3 months on my copay for insurance & I went to my primary care physician. You can go to the dermatologist, but they're a lot more expensive. Insurance treats a specialist different & they get to charge you a lot more. Anyways, my advice is don't waste your money on OTC products. Start off with your doctor to begin with. You'll save so much money in the long run.

Pros:

I use this with the Effaclar foaming gel and it has changed my skin drastically. The two together have changed my worst breakout ever to beautiful, clear and even skin in just 2 days.

Cons:

Slightly pricey

This has worked wonders for my sensitive, combination skin with moderate acne. It doesn't dry out my skin and I live in northern Canada where it's very dry. The only product that has changed my face that clearly and that quickly.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Breaks you out.
Doesn't do what it said.

Do not use this product. I was just finished a 5 month course of accutane and had perfectly clear skin. I applied this and my whole face broke out into hundreds - and i mean hundreds of pimples. Awful stuff
