Stievamycin Tretinoin and Erythromycin Gel

Stievamycin Regular was prescribed to me by my doctor along with Minocyclin 100mg. But I decided to use Stievamycin before using the antibiotic. So we'll see what happens.

It's a great product for someone who has mild - not severe- acne.

I certainly dislike this product. It worked and got rid of a few pimples in the beggining, but hasn't done much at all. Basically all this product does is burn and dry out your skin, while burning very small and few pimples along the way. When it burns the pimples, it leaves scars and dark marks. I've used this product for abo0ut 5 months now, and my acne has improved by like, 20%. (I have very sensetive&pale skin- I am 1/4 albino- so maybe it is my skin, after all everyone is different.) So, I say TRY the product at least, and see what it does.

I have been using this product for 2 weeks and so far love it! I used to get mad break outs right around my "time-of-month" and after using this for only 2 weeks even through my "time-of-month" have been quite pimple free, I only got 2 pimples and they went away after 1 night! I use the regular formula, I read on here that it is much easier to apply if you wash your face then leave it a little damp as well as your hands. It spreads much easier this way and you also don't use as much product. It does sting a little when I apply it but it doesn't bother me enough to stop using it. I cleanse my face with regular hand soap at night then apply. In the morning I wash my face with Clinique face lotion, extra mild. Then when I have a shower I exfoliate with Clinique 7 Day scrub cream, it's very gentle and I find it is effective in removing the flakes. I finish up with Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisterizer. My skin has never been so soft!

I get it free because of my mom's healthcare from work. At first, it burned like a b!tch, after a while, your skin gets used to it and it doesnt burn anymore. It's working really well for my skin. I'm really glad that I went to the doctor to get it.

Stievamycin can be quite helpful in combination with tetracycline. However, you must only use it as a spot treatment before bed. Do not be tempted to use large globs of it, or your skin will peel. However, if used sparingly, it can dry out red spots, and when you moisturize your skin in the morning, nobody will even notice that there was ever dryness there. I must add that if you are worried about moisturizer causing your face to break out, then don't use it every day, and limit your stievamycin use accordingly. But I would use both in conjunction, and I do NOT recommend drying your face out-- try to use a moisturizer.
