Pros:

good for sensitive skin.

Cons:

none!

This product is amazing! I've been using this for about 10 months and i have not gotten any big break outs. Just a pimple or two once and a while but not even big enough to even be noticed. I started seeing results after about two weeks and was completely clear in about four. It's very affordable if you have insurance about 10 bucks and works great. If you have not used it yet you should definitely give it a try!! I would totally recommend this product!!

Pros:

Works
Non-irritatiting

Cons:

Pricey if your insurance doesn't cover it, but in my opinion, 200$ is worth it if its going to clear up my face!

I have had to deal with acne for years...have been on every Rx and over the counter medicine under the sun, nothing works. Just got put on the soduim sulfacetamide/sulfur wash and topical lotion and in one day i'm already seeing a MAJOR difference. If this stuff clears my face completely, I'm going to ask my new doctor to marry me.

Pros:

- cleared any bumps that did not seem to come to a head within about 2/3 days!
- saw a difference after the end of the first week, small pimples had dried and would flake off
- goes on smooth, a little goes a long way
- pimples will come up then go away and stay away!
- getting my skin clear ... will continue to update
- red marks are fading quicker!

Cons:

- acne gets worse before it gets better; for mine, pimples came to a head (looked worse) but they are going away.
- if you dont have insurance, can be pricey.

I tried Clearasil, Neutrogena facewashes, soap free, oil free, Aveeno Foam cleanser, etc. Nothing worked - acne never went away, just got worse. My pimples either come to a head right away, are small and can be picked off, or are biggish bumps that stay under the skin for ages! All of them leave a red scar no matter what... and on top of that I am a picker. Awful habit, need to break it. This product works by killing the bacteria on the skin that causes acne. I find this a lot better than oral meds, unless you have hormonal acne. This heals any of the "correctly" popped pimples by helping them come to a scab overnight! For the ones I pick at, the skin just gets damaged and it takes longer to heal. Right now, my derm has put me on this stuff, minocycline 100 mg daily, and veltin gel. I think this combo works wonders if you have a similar condition to me. i have VERY SENSITIVE skin. cannot use anything harsh. I use the veltin at night, put aveeno daily moisture lotion after, go to bed, wake up, wash face, put on this stuff! then sunscreen and im out. No makeup. I am seeing major improvements already. Skin is becoming more evenly toned, less scarring. Wish the best of luck to all of you. I love this product so far, and I will keep you posted after about 3 more weeks. :) BTW - I am 17, in high school getting ready to go to college, wearing no makeup really helps your skin improve!

Pros:

clears face
not drying

Cons:

initial breakout while clearing pores

I use the gel since I can't put oils on my sensitive skin. This stuff works really well. It is a healthier alternative to oral antibiotics. At first it will break you out a bit but after that you will be mostly clear. I've been using this for about a year and the acne is mostly gone. I use another stronger perscription for spot treating cysts.

Pros:

Cleared my skin in a couple of weeks. My skin before was red, bumpy and easily flared after taking oral antibiotics for a couple of years and felt completely hopeless. I'm so glad that I realized about this product from my dermatologist. Works great!!

Cons:

none

Really try this product. It doesn't give harmful side effects and does not irritate the skin at all.
