Pros:

It's easy to take. Popping a pill is perhaps the least time-consuming acne fighting medication out there.

Cons:

It did absolutely NOTHING but make me get a bad taste in my mouth. It smells bad too.

A lot of people have given this positive reviews, but it didn't do anything for me - possibly because I suffer from hormonal acne.

Pros:

Cleared some acne

Cons:

Caused skin peeling and rash on my face and tightness of the skin

It may just be me, but my skin worsened after two days worth of doses. My skin was flaking and peeling and had red inflamation on my face.

Pros:

Cleared acne on my back and the little bit I had on my face cleared up very easily

Cons:

But girls have to remember, this is an antibiotic and for me it caused reoccuring yeast infections.

I loved this pill because it really did do wonders for my acne. But, the side effect of having TONS of yeast infections was very uncomfortable to the point that I had to stop taking the pill. Have yet to find a better method of acne control, though. But, I still would not recommend because of the pain it ended up causing me.

Loses its touch
The first time I tried cefluxin I was prescribed 500mg/2x. I started with no additional probiotic and rarely ate yogurt. The acne I had from Lithium vanished within a week, and it stopped hormonal breakups my BC didn't fix. 3 months after taking it, my digestive system was wrecked. I couldn't digest food without having the most intense stomach pains for over 3 hours. I stopped and 6 months later switched to 250mg/1x. A month later, my stomach had the same horrendous reaction, even with the use of probiotics this time. I caution people who are taking this for extended periods of time, the reaction I had to the overuse of antibiotics was enough to send me to the ER the first time.

Pros:

been taking for 4 to 5 days now i think. Im pretty sure its helping. but i have been going tanning in tanning beds so that is also helping dry my acne up.

Cons:

it smells. i have been experiencing really uncomfortable itching where my brake outs are. Im thinking this is happening becuase its killing the bacteria? im not sure though if anyone else experiences this let me know! :]

its pretty affordable. I know it is helping but i also am doing many things right now to clear my skin so i cant say that its the number 1 thing thats doing the job. but i am going to continue to take it because im pretty sure it is helping. you also have to be pateint with stuff like this im sure we all know it doesnt go away over night. But i noticed i am having less break outs and the new pimples i do get are significantly smaller and heal fast. Its just the itching in my break out area is very uncomfortable...is anyone else experiencing this?

Pros:

None

Cons:

Chalky, hard to swallow, broke out in Hives

It sucked for me. Its disgusting and they are like horse pills. I am now allergic to it after taking it for so long and break out in hives with 10m after taking.
