Not good
I've taken erythromycin for over a month now and it has done nothing. When I first started taking them I had the worst pains in my stomach, headaches, and nausea however after about 4 days it stopped. Once I began taking them I found my skin breaking out worse than ever (although that could of been due to me not taken the lymecycline tablets anymore) anyways my acne usually came mainly around my time of the month but since taking these I have had constant breakouts. I used these tablets along with benzoyl peroxide and I found that didn't help either. I have now decided to stop taking them and go back to lymecycline

Pros:

Worked for 2 months.

Cons:

Developed antibiotic resistance and had painful out breaks

It worked for me for almost two months, and significant improvements were made by the med. However, until three weeks ago, the med stopped working, my acne came back and they are more painful and red then ever before. Now I am so embarrassed that everyone at my workplace is telling me to clean up my face :(.

Pros:

having been on many other types of medication, this is the first one to give me significant differences where i feel my skin is beginning to win the battle against acne. It is easy to take (in the form of capsules) and is very quick!

Cons:

it does cause some stomach discomfort however weighed against the benefits i feel it is a positive outcome thus far. It has made my skin dry but only as much as any of the other medications. Less side effects but less effective than roaccutane.

very positive medication with great results. I would use if you have had little success with previous medication and are looking for a real change and are willing to go through some of the mild side effects :)

Pros:

This product has reduced a lot of the redness that used to be on my skin and has eliminated at least 30% of my acne and I have only been taking this pill for 4 days!

Cons:

Although the product works pretty well it makes me go to the bathroom a lot and rarely gives me chest pains.

I've had moderate acne for at least 2 to 3 years and to see that one of the many products I have used has finally worked makes me feel really good. You will see a huge difference in your skin just days after trying this product.

Pros:

cleared up acne within 2 months, skin was completely clear.

Cons:

stopped working after 6 months acne is starting to return did not have any sickness or tummy upset

It took 3 weeks to kick in my skin was completely clear with not 1 spot for about 5 months. Then docs took the amount down and it started to come back so i put it back up but i think im immune to it now, as acne is returning. Was not expensive either. Going back to docs this week to find an alternative.

Pros:

Reduces redness, clears spots

Cons:

Dry skin in morning, greasy towards the end of the day :( Oh and it takes forever to dry - which is anoying in the morning before school.

When i first started using Steimycin topical solution, it really worked and my skin was practically clear in a week and was really happy with the outcome. Then my doctor prescribed me tablets (Oxyteterine?) And this mademe break out in EVEN MORE than i had in the first place. So i went back to the steimycin and it is a very slow process but you do see a gradual impovement over the weeks, i would recommend this product. Im 15 years old by the way.

Pros:

Clears up spots and keeps most of them away!
Took them for about a year and was clear.

Cons:

I felt sick a bit after taking them, but feelings sick is better than having acne!

I tried all the lotions and creams out there, nothing worked... antibiotics were the next step. If you've tried them all, i'd definatly give these a go.

Pros:

I have used it for probably about 2 months now. Worked very well initially for getting rid of whiteheads and messy spots, cleared my skin up quite well in the beginning.

Cons:

It is no longer working as well and my skin is again, not as clear still barely any whiteheads but my face is full of redness and red lumps/'blotches'

Not working very well for me anymore, going to see my doctor for his verdict.
