July 25, 2008

Pros:

It works for the smaller pimples, for a while you become VERY reliant on it. Its free if your'e in the UK (Good ol' NHS)

Cons:

It doesnt get rid of acne completely, the bacteria in your skin gets resistent to it eventually.

It worked for a year and at first i wasnt so dependant on it but after about a year and a half, if it ran out, within 3 dys i would have massive outbreaks so i ALWAYS had to have enough and stock up before it ran out. However the bacteria in skin are clever and adapt to it and become resistent so it doesnt work after about 2 years. It was nice at first and the dosage is not insanely high to the point where you have to base your life around it which is nice, but all good things come to an end.

Pros:

Th pros are great. The results are tremendous. I loved these tablets they worked and made me feel so much better about my skin as I am girl and love to go out and I love to wear make up but all of this isn't excessive but hey I love to look good.

Cons:

There are no real cons as such unless you forget to take your tablets or you are real stressed at that time then that is a con.

I really have no bottom line but really try this on your acne!

Pros:

the typica solution has prevented me from getting any acne on my cheeks and chin

Cons:

my forehead and my nose are still covered in pimples

you have to give it time to work, i've only been using it for about three weeks, it takes about two months till you can really judge it, and see if it works for your skin or not.

cant think of any

Pros:

It has been able to keep my skin clear even during the times when I am most prone to acne (before and during my cycle).

Cons:

It has a high alcohol content, which is why this product is drying to the skin. And, the dryness can become especially bothersome during the colder months.

I have skin that is very acne-prone. And, that is why, I have to be on acne treatments. As, my skin seems to do best with prescription products than it does over the counter stuff. So, I do plan to keep using this product as long as it keeps my skin clear, even though it is drying to the skin.
