Pros:

It has cleared up my skin and, most exciting for me, all the scars. Once my acne was gone I was still left with embarrassing scars. Now my skin is beautiful again.

Cons:

None for me. Not even drying of the skin--maybe I have such oily skin that I don't even notice if the cream dries it a bit!

Be patient and use this every day. My acne was cleared in 4 months, and the scars almost totally gone at the 5 month mark. I plan on using this for many more months because it's regenerating my skin like crazy and I haven't had any side effects. I know in another month or 2 my skin will look flawless, and I'm very excited about that. Note, my dermatologist prescribed 4 prescriptions including this one. I was on minocycline and diane 35, and I had 2 topical creams (this one plus clindoxyl). I cannot credit my clear skin completely to Stieva, but I do believe its been 100% responsible for erasing the scars.

Pros:

takes away the redness and gets rid of the pimples fast.

Cons:

burns

I don't have sever acne but I get alot of pimples around my chin and it gets really bad at times. I tried Proactive and it made it worse. This is the only thing that worked for me. It takes away the redness of existing marks too :)

Pros:

With constant use it cleared up about 90% of my acne. I used this medicate for close to 6 years without too many problems.

Cons:

It dries out the skin considerably, so make sure you have a good moisturizer.

This medication helped me have clear skin throughout my teenage years without any notable side effects.

Pros:

-Works really well with consistent use

Cons:

-Dries out skin
-Causes more breakouts in the first few initial weeks

If you stick to using it every night, then it will work. If you forget to put it on for a week, you pretty much need to start again. Get a good moisturizer ( I use Cetaphil wash and moisturizer) because you will get very dry skin. Sun Screen is important if you're in the sun. I also use in partner with Hydrophase Solugel, which I use for the mornings. Keep at it, my skin cleared right up until I stopped using it.

Pros:

Def. does work, easy application, dries off super fast, cheap (cost me $14) gets rid of acne before they pop out. does not sting bad as people say ( its worse if I use collogne after shaving). And you just have to use it

Cons:

Creates a film which tightens skin. (but after making a few funny faces its all good)
Takes a few weeks to see improovement.

Def. recommend, follow instructions and its all OK

Pros:

It definately works.
Not irritating if used in recommended amounts.
Gits rid of pimples before they surface.

Cons:

It can take a few weeks for the results to start, but after that, my skin steadily improved. My cystic pimples no longer surface (they are treated before they can break through).

I would definately recommend stievamycin to anybody. Just FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. If you don't slather it on, the flaking and irritation is very minor. I'm having excellent results; I just wish I'd started using stievamycin earlier. Also, it's pretty inexpensive. $24 (before insurance) for a tube that lasts me about 2 months.
