Pros:

Makes a difference, and you could actually see a difference within a week or two.

Cons:

Burns, and flaks. Also has a strong scent. The burning will only continue on new acne. Once your face gets use to it, there won't be as much burning.

THIS WILL WORK! It works really well with a non-scented lotion. Within a few weeks you WILL begin to see a difference. You must use it as directed by a doctor. Continue to use it unless your doctor says to stop or there are any reactions to it. Make sure to not OVER APPLY the product or it could cause it to worsen.

Pros:

Keeps acne away, not costly and saves you from further scarring.

Cons:

At first your face is dry but keep in mind the longer you use it the less you use it. You can have a major breakout because this product will pull everything out. Remember: It always gets worse before it can get better.

This product does work and the others that say it doesn't are the ones who have been on the medication for one to three months. NOT LONG ENOUGH! If you listen to your doctor he will specify that this product does not work over night and that it takes 4-6 weeks to even start working. Than the product will clean everything out and if you have it worse than others you may even wake up to 2 new pimples everyday until your face has been cleaned out. Better than waking up to acne for a couple of months than everyday for the rest of your adult life. Not true in many cases that acne goes away once you "Grow out of it" like your parents may say. So try this product and don't give up. I was on it for 3 years in highscool and it saved me from alot of embarrassment, and then went on for 2 years with no medication acne free until my stress level rocketed and I am on the product once again and brings me back to when I'd skip a day or two of school on the bad days. Good thing I work nights!!!Melissa.

Pros:

well I onyl applied it once, the mild strength one. It hasn't irratated or stung or even made my face the slightest red after applying it generously and rubbing it gently into my affected areas. It dries out the area immediately. i like it so far

Cons:

nothing so far. doesnt seem to be clogging pores, as i can tell instantly when something clogged my pores, as i break out to everything left on my face

Dried out lesion quickly. which i am fine with because no matter how dry my skin is, it never produces oil. (thats why I rarely use moisturizer) the ratings on this site seem to be pretty good for it, so I'm being optimistic with this product :P

Pros:

Its cleared up my moderate acne

Cons:

Im still having breakouts, and this time its not just on my forehead, but also on the cheeks

I dont really know if this' working, but i keep my fingers crossed. The only bad thing is that when i used stievamycin on my cheeks it got REALLY RED and sometimes it burns like hell. and yesterday i found a red mark on my cheek. i hope it vanishes soon cause it hurts even when i wash my face with water. but most of the pimples have disapeared

Pros:

-work well some of the time to clear acne

Cons:

-extreme dryness
-burning
-flakiness
-skin may adjust

My whole life I had perfect skin then a few years ago BAM adult acne, oh joy. This product I got from my derm, it kicked in 2-3 weeks into using it, began to clear up everything really fast and, in spite of sideeffects, i was realy happy after a couple years of extreme frustration. Some whiteheads and pimples would return before/after period...then eventually, after about 7/8 months of using this product, it felt like it lost all it's power basically over night or over a few days- I was in total distraught, my acne came back worse than ever...emberrasing and gross. So I went back to my derm and he recommended Epiduo/Tactuo Gel, which is appearantly significantly better (have just started) and I'm very excited about it. Fingers crossed :)

Pros:

It takes away the redness quick! Supresses the oils. The supply lasts a long time.

Cons:

Alot of skin peeling where the acne was. Nothing a good moisturizer can't fix. Rippens the acne a bit slow.

I'm using (25) steivmacin mild 0.01%14% Gel. I hope this helps you find it, it says it on the lable. Bottom line is, expect some burning it's worth it. It only happens when you apply it. When it dries it's like a facial mask, if you smile, you'll tear it appart. That's why you only apply it at bedtime! You'll wake up and half of it or most of will be flaking off your face. It's a good thing! Wash it off with warm water. Pat it dry. The redness disapears fast. You'll notice it right away. Within a week you'll notice a really big change. 2 weeks, almost all the white heads are dry. (I have a white head problem) you can pop them. The only really bad thing about this is...if you stop, you're doomed. Everything comes back like that. You can't really break the cycle. Just one annoying thing I don't like about this product is this...it actually if you use it longterm...brings out more acne. NOBODY likes that. But it sure gets ride of alot of crap from your face. All the future pimples.
