Pros:

When nothing else works, this helps me.

Cons:

A small bottle of the cleanser costs at least $10, but I suppose that really isn't much compared to others.

Worth trying; I recommend it. It is rather hard to find in some stores.

Perfect as topical treatment

I started using betadine as a spot treatment on non-cystic acne about 2 years ago. It dries out pimples (although not overnight) and appears to prevent further outbreaks around an open spot. Due to the color I only apply it at night.

Pros:

always use this betadine ointment ; i have actually spend 10,000 $ on my acne treatment with doctors who suggested medicines like acutrate (dont ever take this capsules it increases the problem) , benzoyl peroxi( it irritates the skin ), what should be used is betnovate n in morning and the ointment at night.

Cons:

after some continuous use the skin might turn dry and leave red marks but they too clear off

always use this

Pros:

i guess according to posts it clears acne
-antiseptic

Cons:

-kills cells
-chemical
-not getting to root of problem which is internal.

Ok guys didn't know if you know this but this is no different from alcohol, BP, butt creme, hydrocortizone, or any other antiseptic germ killing chemical you put on your face.You might as well put on clorox. Yes it will clear you up but what it does is kills your skin cells so in the long run you are doing more damage to yourselfs. just thought id let you all know. Use as a quick fix but seriously chnage your eating habits and live to love your body...much better results + a million...
