Pros:

dries up everything....you can feel the change in your skin within a few days

Cons:

using with tretinoin so i of course got the dreaded breakout...also on minocycline 100mg which works really well against inflammation...

you grow out of acne... my brother had it for 3 years and it just went away with no meds.....you'll get through it and so will I.

I have been on tetracyclin, retin-a, i've tried pro active, wash my face everyday... and these stupid whiteheads don't go away. I was loosing hope!!! I went to the derm again, and he gave me this stuff. I've been using it for three days and my face is significantly clearer!! All the acne is drying up, even those annoying little whiteheads. The great thing about it is that it doesn't dry or irritate your face like retinoinds, and it has a tint that blends into your skin and actually covers up red marks. Great product, I recommend it to anyone, I didn't pay anything because I have insurance but the generic is like sixty dollars or something!!!

Pros:

Easy to apply! Goes on clear and dries right away. You don't need much.

Cons:

One more medication, but anything that works at this point isn't really a con!

Good stuff! I wish I had started this a very long time ago! It works so well. The red spots are disappearing! Two feet from the mirror I can't even tell I even have had bad skin! Oil production is WAY down (but that may be due to the Spiro). Spiro, Yasmin, Sulfacetamide (PM) and Tazorac(AM)....WONDERFUL COMBO!

Pros:

It doesn't leave your skin feeling tight and red and irritated like Benzoyle Peroxide does. It's really gentle and even tones down the look of red marks. Goes on smooth too.

Cons:

A LITTLE bit drying the first week, but once my skin adapted to it, it was fine.

I am currently using the Canadian version which is Sulfacte - R, so it's a little different from Klaron but generally is the same thing. I have been using it for about 3 weeks now and so far, its a WAY better alternative to BP. BP just made my skin way too red and too dry and irritated. Honestly, I felt like a freak whenever I left my house because of how red and irritated I was. I heard about this stuff on this site and begged my doctor to give me a prescription. So far it has been working fairly well, I still break out but it WAS just my period week, and I usually get a breakout before then. It's helped a lot and since I've only been using it for three weeks and it usually takes about 2 months to see a products full potential,I'm gonna stick on it. so far its the best thing ive used, give it a try if you have mild/somewhat moderate acne.

Pros:

Clear, dries fast, doesn't stain clothes. Cleared skin in only 2 weeks.

Cons:

During 1st week of use, had reaction to it, developed bumps on cheeks, however they went away within another week.

Suffered from white heads on back, shoulders and chest for 10 years, this is the first time I have ever had dependably clear skin. I can now wear swimsuits and shirts that showcase my collarbone without worrying. Now I love my skin!

Pros:

Dries quickly, odorless, not sticky

Cons:

Without insurance, it's expensive; thankfully, I do, in fact, have insurance.

It works.
