Pros:

Works well immediately

Cons:

Not covered by my new Rx plan. Don't know the cost or if I will be able to afford it.

I like this product. I use it with a generic form of Metrogel and my skin has a lot less redness and feels smooth and soft.

Pros:

Works very well as a spot treatment (if I use it on my whole face, it tends to get red, flaky and irritated). Seems to clear up breakouts pretty fast-within a few days.

Cons:

Very bad smell! Sometimes doesn't work, especially with hormonal, cystic pimples (the ones deep under the skin.. these are pesky)

This is a good cleanser, but only if you don't have sensitive or dry skin. It tends to cause my face to turn red, burn and get flaky if I use it everywhere, or more than once a day. It's a great spot treatment for me. The best I've found so far. I usually moisturize my face and then spot treat the pimples I am trying to get rid of with Plexion.

Pros:

Great for my skin after years of facial acne. Had a breakout on upper back that I never had before, then I tried Plexion - ALL GONE

Cons:

PRICE without insurance

Incredible but am looking for either generic or a trip to mexico because at $150 I just can't afford to continue it.

Pros:

This cleanser helps remove oil from pores

Cons:

It stinks. It contains sulfur and smells like sulfur. Generic Prascion.

This product is an okay cleanser. I have been using it for a month. I think that it is a gradual exfolliate so every two weeks, it seems like it reveals a new layer of skin. I just really hate the smell of it so I use a scented moisturizer to mask the scent of sulfur. My derm has me using this cleanser twice a day. In the morning, I am to follow with a moisturizer and Aczone 5% and in the evening, I apply Tazorac cream topically. I've only noticed a slight improvement thusfar.

Pros:

Suphera (generic of Plexion) smells great and is a very easy, once-a-day treatment. Keeps skin feeling clean and oil free all day. Doesn't burn or irritate my face in any way. Also, because it contains no bezoyl peroxide, clothing doesn't stain.

Cons:

None.

This is an amazing medication and I highly recommend it to anyone who has had trouble with benzoyl peroxide based medication or if you have sensitive skin. My acne is caused by shaving and I've had very few issues since using Suphera. On another note, I've read several reviews that say this medication is being used in conjunction with other meds. This could be a reason for not seeing results. Too much medication can dry out and irritate the skin. Unless you have very severe acne, a single prescription strength treatment should present good results.

Pros:

Product has not only cleared up my acne, but has cleared up the scarring that I've had on my face for years. It only took about 2 weeks to make a noticeable difference.

Cons:

In the beginning of the treatment my face was extremely dry and flaky. I have to keep using it for it to be effective.

This product is highly effective if used consistently and the generic version is very affordable ($10 for a 2-3 month supply). I've been able to toss my makeup because I'm getting so many compliments on my own skin.
