Cons:

nothing, dosent taste or smell bad

i got the a reactive lynph node gland if you know what that is, and my doctor said it was from acne. so he perscribed this stuff so the bacteria in my bump thingy would go away and my acne would go away so it would do its magic.. well i think its been working so ill keep using it i mean its cheap n all so why not? it helps defend against mrsa n staph which has been going around on my wrestling team so thats a plus for me ;)

Pros:

decent pill, inexpensive.

Cons:

seriously the worst thing i have ever smelled. tastes horrible. i gag almost every time i take it.

it worked really well on my back. it wasn't great at first but as my body got used to it my acne started to go away and not come back. the smell and taste is definitely disgusting but not a deal breaker.

Pros:

Fairly inexpensive compared to Accutane

Cons:

Don't know yet, have only been on it a few days

First off, why is it that some people have only paid less than $20 for their Rx of this drug, yet I paid almost $30 at Walgreens? I've only been on it for 2 days and my acne, which is moderate, has gotten worse. Is this normal?? In any case, I'm hopeful. My dermatologist gave me the Cephalexin because I'm allergic to Minocycline and he won't give me Accutane because he said my acne is not cystic. I have acne on my forehead, around my hairline and on my chin. What's a girl to do?!! HELP!

it work alright.

Cons:

it doesn't smell THAT bad!!

i used it when i got my c-section. i noticed NO acne in a week. i was taking it 4 times a day though. try it i actually never new this was for acne but hey if it works use it. i read over all of your reviews and it seems to work better on WOMEN, sorry guys. but we have different chemicals and thats probably why.

Pros:

Works very well for acne, very cheap compared to other methods of acne treatments.

Cons:

Smells horrible, Tastes bad

This is a very good drug for acne. Although it may not work for everyone, no one drug works for everyone. This drug is used to treat acne because Acne is a bacterial infection for all of the people who don't understand why it is used to treat acne.

Cons:

This product is for bacterial infections, not acne!!!

I can't believe you people are taking this antibiotic for acne! I almost lost both of my hands due to a minor skin infection because there are so many resistant strains of bacteria. Bacterial resistance is a direct result of antibiotics being used for nonbacterial infections. People are having limbs amputated and dying because bacteria don't respond to antibiotics anymore. Please, stop using this product for acne.

Pros:

Definitely helped clear my mild blemishes up. Keeps my skin clear and soft.

Cons:

Causes some horrible stomach aches every now and then.

Worth a try. I've read the reviews and it doesn't work for everyone. I have used Cephalexin multiple times and it has worked for me each time. I take it three times a day, and it took about 2 weeks for me to see a BIG difference. Even though it does cause some stomach cramping, I still think it is worth it.
