Pros:

None that I can think of.

Cons:

It is a horrible topical medicine that caused my skin to cone off in chunks. I used the mild for 6 months and it was okay, but very, very drying. And then it totally stopped working.

I switched to the regular formula when the mild stopped working completly, although it didn't really work to begin with. It burned my skin right off. It was red and raw and made what zits were on my chin bleed. I cried for 3 hours. Went to another dermatologist, he told me this is the worst topical medicine and switched me to Benzamycin. I have read better things about the Benzamycin, so I am hoping for the best with this one. But I would have to caution anyone using Stievamycin to be very careful. Truthfully, it burns and it does not work.
