Pros:

Cheap but that's all.

Doesn't work.

It was really cheap $10 but it doesn't work. I was using the 2% gel for 2 months and my scne has only gotten wose. The first week it improved about 10%-20% and then after that it went back to what it used to be.

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.

Pros:

Works well on the cheek area, reducing redness.

Cons:

Progress is slow. Does not appear to help forehead or neck.

To be effective it needs to be used to DIFFERIN gel. In my experience, this causes the skin to become flakey at first, before increasing the regeneration of new skin cells. This leaves the skin feeling much smoother and tackles the blackheads which erythromycin fails to do anything about. Im finding DIFFERIN much more effective than Benzol Peroxide. ooo one final small point. I stopped using soap completely and just applied HOT and COLD water to the face. This really does appear to help and reduces redness :) hope this helps

Pros:

Working after only a few days. Considerably less redness and acne activity.

Cons:

Made me a bit nauseous, but I can deal with it.

I am worried about long-term use. When I was younger I used tetracycline for a while. As soon as I stopped the acne returned. I imagine it will be the same with this med.

Pros:

did see a difference in the number of spots i was getting they had reduced also made my skin look smoother.

Cons:

the capsule version plays havoc with my stomache and makes me have stomach cramps. when you stop taking this medicine spots come back

Try it, it takes a while to notice the effects but it does work. However get the pink tablet version and not the orange capsule. I take 2 x 250 morning and night.

Pros:

After the first 4 weeks my skin was BEAUTIFUL!! I was so excited about having no acne on my face.and I loved my skin texture.

Cons:

After about 6 weeks I stated to break out again. I think my body is used to it so it's not effective on me an longer. My dermatologist told me the best bet is birth control or she suggested Septra. I just don't want to be on antibiotics forever!

I think I may try the Septra. My concern is that the same situation my occur as with the Erythromycin, it stops working for me. Not sure at this point,what my long term goals are for acne treatment...
