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:

Got rid of most acne

Cons:

Got worse then started getting better around week 7

Stick through this, it works after a while and you won't regret it...I had really bad cystic acne and now I only have a small spot or two! It didn't do much for scarring though. Also, keep positive and seek God's help as that helped me through the bad times and it definitely had something to do with the acne getting better. Good Luck!!

Pros:

use it when i see a pimple, 2-3 days of application and it goes away. Clears skin of acne. Dries skin quick.

Cons:

flaky, burns the eye if too close to it.

This definitely works! I've tried everything and by far, nothing beats this product. You must be patient as this will take at least a month to see major changes. Do not take too much as it will worsen the skin when your skin gets irritated. DO NOT OVER APPLY! After using this for a couple months, i currently have no acne growing and even I'm surprised myself! This product also helps clear previous scars and redness.

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
