Pros:

Worked for the very first days.

Cons:

Bacterias developed resistance amazingly fast. Cause redness on the skin and light irritation.

It's a common low cost, risk free treatment against Acne; but there is very few people who actually get the desires results. For me it worked the firsts days, and after that, it was absolutely the same to use or not use it. Due to the low cost and the risk free, it's worth a try, but do not keep high spectation with it.

Pros:

(about the topical erythromycin pledgits) It cleared up my skin for the first time in years! It's great. This form has no bad intestinal side effects as it is topical. The "burn" only hurts (and not that bad) the first few times... it kind of tickles

Cons:

It may dry out your skin (not severe), Its hard to combine it in a system where you wish to tone and moisturize as well due to the 30 min rule, very expensive if your insurance sucks, IF YOU QUIT USING IT YOUR ACNE WILL RETURN!

This is a wonderful way to treat acne, I didnt even have to go to a dermatologist to get it... just ask your doctor. Its about 11.00 - 20.00 per month with insurance but can be around 50.00 without insurance. But Having acne free skin that is also well toned and even colored is worth it, it can really take a toll on your mood whe you dont like the way your skin looks. It's easy to use... Unfortunately, I havent been able to get it for awhile and I have broken out once again.. .this is also because I am very poor and cannot afford to pay $17 for one warm shower... but thats a different Issue... I miss this stuff and I am currently trying to get more still... if that proves anything

Pros:

Having had 2 courses of Roaccutane which helped but didn't solve my problem, I was skeptical about an antiobiotic. But i was wrong! Oraly erythromycin is AMAZING. I saw significant improvement after a few weeks and now I have perfect skin, literally.

Cons:

No side effects for me. My only fear is that eventually I'll develop resistance to it.

As your GP to prescribe it. Don't think that just because other antibiotics haven't worked for you that erythromycin won't. I tried 'Lymecycline' for several months with little improvement but erythromycin worked phenomenally. This stuff is amazing. And the oral form is also more effective than topical erythromycin (Zineryt didn't work very well for me). I would almost describe it as a miracle cure for my skin. Give it a decent try (you need to use it for a good 2 months to tell whether it's going to work). Highly, highly recommended.

Pros:

Works instantly!!!

Cons:

Stomach aches very annoying but not painful. Almost like hunger pains!!

The Tablet form, in prescription of Erythrocin is amazing!!! I have had acne since i was ten and it has ALWAYS had an affect pn me regarding socializing and going out etc.. I always felt that it was there and couldnt hide it!!! I have tried countless types of medication, creams, treatments and NONE have worked like this!!1 It is a miracle and i am being genuinely serious! I havent EVER seen tablets work so quick in my life.I took a trial of them for 4 days along with a retinol based topical cream and the difference in my skin was amazing!! One of my friends actually was shocked at the difference!! I am no starting a trial of them for a month and I cant wait to see the results... only problem is that once u go off them they tend to flare back up.. but that was my experience of taking them for a four day trial but they are anti biotics so they should keep clear for a good while!!! I know this whole thing sounds cheesy but it really is a miracle! NOTE:Price Below is in EURO!!!

Pros:

SO I TOOK THAT AND IT DID NOTHING FOR ME. MY DERMATOLOGIST JUST PERSCRIBED MY CLINDAMYOCIN AND I HAVE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR SKIN. YOU SHOULD ASK FOR IT.

Cons:

TINY BIT OF DRYING IF YOU HASVE SENSITIVE SKIN, BUT IT GOES AWAY AFTER 2 DAYS.

ASK FOR A TRAIL OF CLINDAMYOCIAN

Pros:

It was covered by my insurance....

Cons:

Severe dryness and horrible burning

The reason I stopped using the product Benzamycin was because of the severe dryness it caused in my skin. My face would literally be white with dry skin flakes. Obviously that was embarassing so after puting up with it for a month I decided it wasn't worth it. Also, as I applied it, the burning sensation it caused was almost unbearable. Yeah, not a good product.

Pros:

It did start to make a difference at first.

Cons:

After being on this for a few months it made no difference to my skin. My skin even got a lot worse, while using this.

This could help some people, but not for me!

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:

I took this for a number of years when I was in middle school. It's hard to say how much it helped.

Cons:

After taking it daily for over a year, I had a terrible allergic reaction to the drug. I had acute colitis and spent 6 days in the hospital fed through an IV. As a result, I have to be very cautious about taking antibiotics even ten years later.

Of course reactions like mine are rare. However you should be very cautious about any internal medication taken over a long period of time.

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.
