Stievamycin Tretinoin and Erythromycin Gel

I hear that any acne medication makes acne worse at the beggining, so be patient, and try it out.

my face would of been worse w.o this..but still nothing to rely on

dont use itttt

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 :)

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

it really works and i would recommend it to any 1

I've only been on this product for 4 weeks, so I'm not seeing major results yet (but hope to!). My doctor recommended the mild gel to use every 3 days (basically twice a week), and I started out on that regime. However, it seemed to be clearing and my sensitive skin was tolerating it, so I started every second day. BIG MISTAKE. Seriously, do what your doctor tells you! I am now trying to diminish large red marks along my jaw and cheeks, that turn yellow and scaly when dried out. It's awful, and it burns as well. I have stopped using the product on those sections until it "heals" (which I hope it does). I also found that the moisturizer I was using (Alba Organics oil-free) started to burn my skin after I had used the Stievamycin, so I wasn't sure if I should use the lotion before or after. Any suggestions? Also tried the Cetaphil SPF lotion, and it made my skin much drier! But the gentle cleanser is awesome!

Im really disappointed that my doctor recommended this,, this by far is the worst acne medication i used! this car is huge and it goes right across my noes :(

there are better products out there.

I have tried this product under the recomendation of my doctor. I had a bump like rash thing near my lip, I think from a certain lip gloss that I no longer use, and he gave me a sample of this stuff to try. I applied it once a day for 5 days and it burned the thing right off. I was left with scab that healed but geese, there must have been a better way. I figured I overused it or something. So I tried it again on a little bump on my cheek and it burnt the skin there as well. I think I am too sensitive for this product. Now I have a bunch of little bumps around the burn like mark on my cheek to get rid of. Lovely.
