Pros:

Almost clear skin after a few monthg

Cons:

The first 3 months were AWFUL my skin was worse than ever

I have been using this product since September last year. My skin was awful the first 3 months. I mean I broke out awfully but then afterwards and with a little faith im doing better now. My face is still kind of messy and and I still have 5-6 very, very, very small pimples every month. Its amazing they are so small you cant see them (but i feel them) anyways they told me after 6 months I will be doing alright. I hope everyone try this before Accutane its nto that harmful Cheers mates!

Pros:

Makes a difference, and you could actually see a difference within a week or two.

Cons:

Burns, and flaks. Also has a strong scent. The burning will only continue on new acne. Once your face gets use to it, there won't be as much burning.

THIS WILL WORK! It works really well with a non-scented lotion. Within a few weeks you WILL begin to see a difference. You must use it as directed by a doctor. Continue to use it unless your doctor says to stop or there are any reactions to it. Make sure to not OVER APPLY the product or it could cause it to worsen.

Pros:

well I onyl applied it once, the mild strength one. It hasn't irratated or stung or even made my face the slightest red after applying it generously and rubbing it gently into my affected areas. It dries out the area immediately. i like it so far

Cons:

nothing so far. doesnt seem to be clogging pores, as i can tell instantly when something clogged my pores, as i break out to everything left on my face

Dried out lesion quickly. which i am fine with because no matter how dry my skin is, it never produces oil. (thats why I rarely use moisturizer) the ratings on this site seem to be pretty good for it, so I'm being optimistic with this product :P

Pros:

Its cleared up my moderate acne

Cons:

Im still having breakouts, and this time its not just on my forehead, but also on the cheeks

I dont really know if this' working, but i keep my fingers crossed. The only bad thing is that when i used stievamycin on my cheeks it got REALLY RED and sometimes it burns like hell. and yesterday i found a red mark on my cheek. i hope it vanishes soon cause it hurts even when i wash my face with water. but most of the pimples have disapeared

Pros:

It takes away the redness quick! Supresses the oils. The supply lasts a long time.

Cons:

Alot of skin peeling where the acne was. Nothing a good moisturizer can't fix. Rippens the acne a bit slow.

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.

Pros:

-clears mild acne
-reduces cysts bumps
-removes scars

Cons:

-caused dry, flaky, itchy,red skin
-burns when applying, especially on open pores
-still does not clear up all my acne

A doctor gave me this gel, started with regular, and still using it. I tried it when i was 14 when my acne was bad but not that severe, maybe 3-5 cysts and a hell lot of whiteheads and blacheads. This gel was a burden to use, because my acne was random all over my face, so i had to put it everywhere causing it to be like a mask. i saw a difference in the first 2-3 days, then it got worse, but that was part of the process. Flushing out all the bacteria out and washing it off of the top layer of gel. Well the bottom line is, it does work but never really cleared up my acne, my scars have faded but i still get cysts, but no whiteheads? Well anyways it did nothing for my blackheads, they just sat there clogging my pore and i also found that the gel seemed to make my pores mor visible, and i'm pretty sure its not from popping any zits, cuz even if its hard to believe i've never popped a pimple. I've been on the gel for more than a year and my acne is still not going away.

Pros:

Clears skin quickly and keeps it relatively pimple free. Because of the Vitamin A in Stievamycin it promotes newer skin cells to surface allowing a restorative effect to the skin.

Cons:

Dryness and burning. However, both can be easily combated by only using treatment every other day until you skin is less irritated.
As for the sun exposure warning, personally I did not follow this and experienced no additional side effects.

Stievamycin is one of the best choice for a long-term topical treatment. Although if you experience acne elsewhere than on you face Stievamycin is not a logical choice. Overall great product and I highly recommend it!

Pros:

-Dries the area affected instantaniously.
-Clears and fades scaring, and red marks.

Cons:

-Although drying is a pro, it is also a con. some may be embarrassed if overdrying occurs. when in doubt, moisturize.
-Redness

I sufferd from severe cystic acne, I use Stievamycin from November through April. It was a long stretch with doubt along the way. But now my skin is almost perfectly clear. And those who worry of getting rid of acne scars after the fact, this product both fights acne and reduces redmarks and scarring. I highly reccomend it to anyone.
