Pros:

This product does wonders for skin, clears up acne pretty fast, and if you use it every night, it works really well!

Cons:

Sort of dries up your skin, but just moisturize daily and it shouldn't be that big of a deal (just use it at night instead of day when you can deal w/ the dryness or slight redness)

For most of you that are having issues with the gel, try the 2% topical solution, it's liquid and it works so well

Pros:

Great, clears skin, best used as a topical. Very cheap!

Cons:

If you apply too much topical (the more, the better though), it can make your face shiny/sticky. So don't apply as much in the morning.

Get the solution, not the pill. The pill can wreak havoc on your digestive system. The solution is awesome though.

Pros:

Works, colorless.

Cons:

Applicator drips! Slow improvement.

Okay, so I use the 2% solution. I'm 14, and I used to only get 1 pimple a month, then in October, my skin got really bad. My doctor first put me on Tazorac and Benzoyl Peroxide 5% Wash, and it cleared my forehead, but I still had some on my cheeks. So, she prescribed me amoxillan 500 mg and Erthromycin 2% solution, and told me to keep using the Benzoyl Peroxide face wash, and it's been working slowly, but my skin is almost back the the way it was! No side affects, really, and yeah. I would recommend it, and it's really cheap if you have insurance.

Pros:

Cleared up back and chest acne amazingly and quickly (it only took about 1 month), I had previously tried using Neutrogena Acne Body Wash but it didn't do squat. So I was really thankful when my doctor prescribed topical Erythromycin for my body.

Cons:

Doesn't seem to be working as well for my face; it's still red and bumpy. I still break out. Don't seem to get any more whiteheads but doesn't work on blackheads.

Try it if you have facial or body acne, its worth a try. Use the topical kind, it hasn't given me any bad side effects at all. I don't know why it worked on my back but not my face.

Pros:

Does not dry out your skin. Reduces the apperance of inflamation.

Cons:

Takes a while to adjust to stomach. First few days are uncomfortable.

You will see results in as soon as 3 days! I have had acne now for four years, I tried cleansers and other anti biotics and this one is the best! It is truly a miracle!

Pros:

This is my day 6 of using this product and so far so good. I already see a huge difference in my skin. Spots are starting to fade already and I have no new pimples.

Cons:

its a lil drying but the drying is a easy cure. After you apply the product , use a good moisturing over it. Ive been using vitamin E cream over it.

Its works, and is worth a try.

Pros:

All you have to do is take a pill and you get rid of those big zits. Lowers the frequency of pimples.

Cons:

I still have acne, it only gets rid of some types of acne. I have to use it The Regimend, but I still have intense acne.

Its good, but so far I have yet to see my face to be clear of acne. If you have as bad acne as I do, this and many other applications/Medications/pills help alot.

Pros:

cleared me up about 90% then suddenly out of the blue little whiteheads starting appearing on my chin, then on my forehead now they are slowly starting to spread on my cheeks..arggghhhh!

Cons:

ok for a quick fix but then you become immune and then your back to square one, full of little whiteheads. I thought it was down to stress but its not its this stuff. anyway going to see my doctor tomorrow need something to help with my skin.

ok, its a quick fix like a bandaid then it cant stick anymore and falls off and lets all the white ones through.. and boy is it bad news seeing your skin go from stunningly clear to getting tiny red bumps and there popping up around my mouth - boy they look ugly and I feel it. Im off to see my doctor tomorrow and going to beg for something to take oral that will help:(
