Pros:

Cleared up my face with a nice glow

Cons:

Dry lips

I bought them back in India where it was quite pricey. My lips dried up and skin began to peel away. Sounds scary, yeah it was. Worse, I didn't want to use a chap stick because of other reasons. But I could get rid of acne. And lips returned back to normal once I stopped the medication. Please remember to take the full dosage or acne WILL be back in a short span!

Pros:

Has stopped new breakouts. Skin looking much clearer. Can be used by Males.

Cons:

Stomach seemed more sensitive than usual, but nothing unbearable. Dry lips, but solved with lip stick.

I have just taken my first monthly dose (500mg on Day 1, then 250mg for next four days... Taking the same dose next month), and noticed improvement after a few days. A week later and my skin is still looking better - I hope it holds out until I take the next dose next month. After trying so many products, I think this may be the answer for me and it does not have any of the nasty side affects that most other drugs do, and can also be used by Males unlike alot of drugs. Everyone is different, but I would give this a go.

Pros:

AWESOME skin improvements for my rosacea and acne!

Cons:

none that i'm aware of yet...

I'm currently taking it for an infection, I had no idea that it was used to treat skin, but after two days of taking it I noticed my skin started looking really good...My rosacea is not noticeable, virtually all pimples I had have cleared up, and my skin just has this glow about it. It's awesome! I wish I could keep taking it...I wonder if I could get another prescription just for my skin?

Pros:

Cleared up my face...mostly

Cons:

I had side effects such as diarrhea and really bad headaches

I tried this and it took about 2-3 months to fully kick in. Even then, it didn't completely get rid of it. My acne is very mild and always on my forehead so I was a little disappointed that it didn't clear me up all the way. It also gave me A LOT of blackheads especially on my nose, which I've never had before. Not bad, but I'm going to try something else.

Pros:

I was allergic to doxycycline so my dermatologist prescribed Azithromycin to me. The 250mg pink pills were easy to swallow (I choke whenever the pills are too big) and within a few days, I noticed that new pimples have not popped out.

It really does prevent new acne. I can't say if it helped my existing acne since I'm also using Tazorac but Azithromycin + Tazorac for 4 months = better skin (only have scars and huge pores left) My insurance covered the whole thing but I can only get 12 pills per time and have to keep getting refills since my derm prescribed 36 pills for me each time.
