Stievamycin Tretinoin and Erythromycin Gel

every kinda of medication or gels/cream will probably have a side effect, tighting and the occasional burning last no more then 20-30 seconds, you skin feels better overall. its a great product

Do not use oil/heavy day creams - during the day, apply an oil-free moisturizer (i use alba organics oil-free moisturizer). I use alba's ph balanced cleanser and a kosmea cloth to gently exfoliate and my skin has improved considerably! I use to have really painful cystic acne but now i only have 1 or 2 active pimples and the marks have faded alot! apply every night, eat well, wash your hands before touching your skin and you should be on your way to beautiful skin once again~!

The trick for stievamycin to work is to not put a huge layer of it. This medication works best when put only a thin layer over your pimples. When you put only a thin layer over it, it wont leave a red patch on your skin and not alot of peeling too and wont burn as much. :) This medication SOMETIMES DOES make more pimples surface to the skin, but you just have to be patient. But it gets rid of them really fast. If you are paranoid like me about getting more pimples, i only apply it to the problem areas of my skin instead of my whole face.

-Is worth a try but do not over apply the cream. Listenn to your doctors orders and let the cream work its magic.

I already posted on June 29 however, after using Stievamycin for about two months now (inconsistently), my opinions have changed. I haven't been using this product every night like I'm supposed to mainly because I can't stand looking in the mirror to a big ugly red forehead. The trick to using this is by applying a *oil-free* moisturizer during the daytime - one that works really well is Clinique's Moisture Surge Extra Thirsty Skin Relief. It penetrates into your skin and provides you with soft skin. You can also use an exfoliator once a week to replenish skin cells. This definitely works to BURN off your pimples, but these are the side effects. Oh, and I wouldn't use it everyday consistenly especially if you have sensitive skin unless you want big red blotches..

This is my 9th week using Stievamycin (I use 0.025%) and I seem to go through this cycle Clear skin Redness and dryness Small breakout Back to clear skin (repeat) My doctor told me to use constantly except when it's red and dry. I was really happy at first but because of all the redness I'm not so sure. Although the box told me to continue using and also said it takes months for it to fully work. But because I had such good results the first time, I'm going to continue using for another 3-4 months and if my face keeps turning red then I'll have to use something else. But I have to admit, Stievamycin has been the most effective out of all the acne medicine I have used (ProActive, various Clearasil products, Neutrogena), Tretinon has been much more effective on acne than Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic acid. Worked much faster too, but results vary with different people. If you are using this and you're experiencing similar symptoms, just hold on and keep using. Hope thi

makes your skin clear! occasional pimples but no big red ones

works great! i still get a little bit of acne but it is soo much better than it was before. it might make the acne worse for about a week or so but after about a month i saw a major improvement. would recommend to anyone!

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.

I use the strongest strength - I tried everything incl accutane and accutane worked almost for 4-5 years .. then I strted breaking out again and I started accutane again but quit after 2 months as you need 4 to 6 months on it - after the 2 months and after I quit accuatane I started to break out again, badly - but I will avoid accutane due to side effects if stievamycin makes it managable - Ive been on 2 months and Im reasonably happy but I still usually walk around with a couple of 'doozies' on my face - where there is no acne, the skin and face look really fresh and alive but you must use the product in the areas you are susceptable to acne not just where and when you get the breakouts - Im slightly resigned that I may have to go back on accutane for the 6 months but if can avoid it I will - if I use nothing have bad cyctic acne - Im a 37 year old male - when it works, I am a looker - HAHA
