Pros:

Clears up acne SO fast!

Cons:

Its has a thick consistency so it can be kind of oily

I saw the reviews for this product so I asked my doctor to prescribe it for me.My skin was terrible bad so I used this for the past two days and my face looks 65% better. It does a nice, quick turn a round on your skin. But because your skin can get used to it I only plan on using this for one week and then going back to my regular routine. However I will always keep this on hand!

I don’t really know if you would consider what I have acne it’s just little bumps all on the side of my face do you think this would work for that?

Pros:

lessens redness of acne, decreases tenderness, shortens length of pimple life :)

Mupirocin was prescribed to my brother for a bacterial skin infection, and once it had cleared up, and in my desperation over my acne, I started using it and it works miracles. I use it sporadically...when I first feel that a cystic pimple is forming, I put it on in the evening and the following days until I no longer feel the bump under my skin. I am 24/F and I never had acne in my life until about six months ago. I break out only on my chin and it is those large, under the skin break outs. The derm perscribed me tazorac but it made me break out worse than I ever have in my life. This is the only product that has worked for me!

Pros:

Worked FAST..I have spent hundreds of dollars on various skin care regimes, but NOTHING has worked this well. I have deep cystic type acne on my chin and smaller normal type pimples on the cheeks. I am thrilled that I am not not so self conscious abo

Cons:

Greasy, shiny, and very slightly itchy

DEFINITELY worth the money...I wish I had found this before I spent so much money on various products, skin care lines, and other medications

Try using a hydrocolloid bandage on it. You can find them at most drugstores (I've bought mine at Walgreens, they were labeled as advanced healing bandages) They are seriously miracle workers!

Pros:

gets rid of annoying spots and pimples overnight!!! For added effective ness, you could use a bandaid with it.

Cons:

Loses its effectiveness the longer you use it.
It. is. EXPENSIVE.

It does work. Sometimes it will work less effectively, but it's worth it. You should definitely purchase this.

Yes it does work. I think people who use it should immediately discontinue after the problem area(s) has cleared. I 😍 it! For the first time in years, my face is clear 😊

Pros:

Gets rid of bacteria like none other, clears up acne like no other. I originally used this to get rid of an infection around my nose, and it turned out to do wonders for acne.

Cons:

Shiny, cannot use for more than about a week on one area. *Extremely* powerful antibiotic, not something you want to develop a resistance to. If you use for more than 10 days you can easily get a fungal infection. Freaking expensive too.

I got this from a derm a while ago (pre-acne), and it was the only thing that could get rid of an infection around my nose. This thing is actually the only topical antibiotic strong enough to kill staph, so obviously it's damn powerful. But with that power comes extreme responsibility. You must, MUST finish your course if you are gonna use this stuff, but you also can't use it for too long. Fungal infections are actually *expected* if you use for more than a week, but my doctor gave me an anti-fungal cream along with this, so I'm safe. As for acne, it doesn't really do anything for jsutclogged pores, but it does wonders for bacteria-related acne, because it kills any and all bacteria in it's path.

Pros:

Perfect for all skin types, in ointment form, it also serves a protectant and seals hydration within the skin cells.

Cons:

Itchiness, shiny look. Better at night.

Use for up to 10 days only or risk fungal overgrowth. c",) I'm using this with Erythromycin Stearate 500mg every 12 hours taken on an empty stomach.

Worked for acne
I am 40 yrs old and for about two months I have had acne on my forehead and behind my ears. I've never had this before and my cream that is prescribed for a rash I get around my nose, wasn't touching it. I was prescribed mupirocin for a spider bite and I tried it, the first night of having it on, woke up with my face 50% better, tonight will be the second night, I really feel for people who have had acne all their lives, its irritating and embarrassing, I can never stop touching my face and feeling all the different sized bumps, it's terrible. I see my doctor on Friday and will get something meant for acne, the reviews have scared me!

monsterous crap
I only had a spider bite which i am allergic to. I dabbed the tiniest bit on my cheek. My whole face has swelled up in giant hives, blisters, red, itching, burning. I can't leave my apartment now! I look like a monster. Putting silver water on it...
