Pros:

Clears up the cysts nicely

Cons:

Oily, can't use it constantly

I have been on this product for about 2 weeks and so far it's really not doing much for me. I read the reviews and was extremely optimistic. It has gotten rid of the cystic acne i used to get but now i have small little bumps all over my face. And me skin is more oily overall then i used to be. I'm planning on stopping use of this pretty soon.

Pros:

-Gets rid of staph infections...(but won't for long if people are using if for everything)

Cons:

-Very itchy and burns (I've taken it for Staph infection)
-If you are using this for acne-STOP- you are breeding MRSA (Staph bacteria that is resistant to antibotics)

If you are using this for acne you need to STOP. It is one of the only antibiotics out there that will kill MRSA (Staph bacteria resistant to other antibiotics). I was on it for a staph infection that I got after nose surgery. I can't believe people are using it for acne. It's very irresponsible for doctors to prescribe this for acne. When you take unnecessary antibiotics like this for minor conditions like acne you are making it more likely that it will not work against serious infections that it really needs to work for... like staph infections. Besides, its very itchy and burns on the skin I don't know why you would prefer this to other acne treatments.
