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:

clears skin to a certain extent, depuffs face and lost weight

Cons:

after a few weeks spots started to come back.

when ever i get bad skin the bacteria seems to make my face and nose go all puffy aswell,and after 1 week of taking this it had totally had de-puffed which i thought was really good! and skin wasnt greasy either.i found after the first few months of taking them my skin really improved 75% but after 3 months once the body had got used to them i started to get spots coming on my neck and painfull ones which i thought was wierd coz i never get spots there usually.so i stopped taking them for a couple of weeks to give system a break and have started again and all my spots seem to be clearing up..i have taken these pills a few times now and they always seem to clear my skin and i would say my acne can be quite bad,and ive always struggeled with weight going up and down and can deff say it makes me loose weight it does something where it makes you loose you taste buds i think which i think is good for me haha!!! but also make sure you wash ur face wheneva greasy and drink lots water xx

Pros:

I used this product for over two years. With the help of a birth control pill, it completely cleared me up. Zero side effects.

Cons:

My skin got immune to it after 2 years. When it stopped working, I got the worst breakouts of my entire life.

It's a great product to try, but just remember that your skin risks getting immune to it if you stay on it long-term.

Pros:

Cleared up skin really well and within a reasonably quick period of time compared to other medication i have been on (e.g celeste contraceptive pill)

Cons:

Left my skin free of spots and troublesome blemishes untill my skin became resistent to the medication.

I have taken at least a year off erythromycin and i plan to go back on it within the next week with hope that it will start working again, as nothing has worked as well.
