Pros:

*does help improve skin a little
*does not affect your stomach

Cons:

*threat of yeast infections
*meant to treat other illness or infections - NOT skin

I was prescribed this for 10 days after I burned my face to prevent infection. My skin was fairly clear prior to taking this (from being on doxycyclin), but I think it did maintain and improve my skin a bit. I didn't stay on it for fear of getting a yeast infection. Overall, I would advise getting something else (like doxycyclin), which is meant to treat acne. There are too many risks in taking cephalexin for extended periods of time for acne.

Pros:

I haven't broken out in a little under a month

Cons:

It took a few weeks to really start working

This pill is easy to take and really works. People complain it smells bad but come on, you don't have to stick your nose in the thing all day it takes two seconds to swallow.

Pros:

There is no pros.

Cons:

I've taking this antibiotic 500 mg and 3 times a day. Actually it made it worse than before!I used to have cystic acne on my forehead only and after taking this antibiotic, it created more and more cystic acne on my cheek and nose

Do not take this antibiotic, it is NOT for acne.

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.

product works.. it obviously is not a cure however is a great addition to your regimen.. if your going through a breakout id definitly recomend going on it..its harmless and definitly works.. i would probably only use it during times when you have major breakouts
