Stievamycin Tretinoin and Erythromycin Gel

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 :)

My doctor prescribed this for me and I've used this for a few months and ended up finishing the tube. I then stopped using it and my acne started to re-surface and was almost back to the way I started so I had my doctor prescribe me a re-fill. Recently, I went to the doctor's again and have now switched over to Clindoxyl Gel. Worth trying. Don't dis-continue use until fully re-covered I guess..

I used this for about 8 weeks and it did more harm than good. Wouldn't recommend.

I've been on this medication for almost three years now. While on it, I experienced significantly less acne then before, but only after a few weeks of use. During the first few weeks, there was irritation and flaking, but it went away after a while. However, since my skin is incredibly oily (especially my nose), it hasn't been able to anything for my blackheads there. But since you can only notice them if you look really closely, it really doesn't matter to me. There's also been some acne that has developed, but that can be attributed to my sloppy job of applying the gel. It's also helpful if you're like me and like to pick at the skin (I know it's bad, but I do it without thinking sometimes). While on the medication, my skin seemed to heal right up, no matter how much I abused it. I'm not sure if it will work for everybody, but I've had no permanent damage from the acne that did end up developing. The instructions say that the gel should be used with regular washing, and only after the skin is completely dry after a shower. You should follow them if you choose this product. All in all, it's good for people who have a moderate case of acne that don't mind waiting a bit for it to work. It is a very good exfoliant and may prevent scarring. However, it is not a sliver bullet and cannot solve all your problems.

i already have a good tanned skin colour and i have noticed darke blemish and i am very worried that it wont go away!

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.

I've been using this for a year now and its decent. Because i'm a girl and have to wear foundation out everyday to feel confident it doesn't really work all too well because putting on the makeup clogs my pores during the day anyways. I still get acne (though its probably not as bad as it could be without it) even though I have honestly worn it every single night for a year! Its not fair. I think your skin starts getting used to it also. Anyways i'm trying the vinegar method now with it and its working really really well! By the way the initial breakout is really really bad, I cried almost every day for a month... it was brutal.

It works! It might take a while though... but it cleared acne that NOTHING else could!

it really works and i would recommend it to any 1

If used with a non-oily moisturizer, your skin will be good as new!
