Stievamycin Tretinoin and Erythromycin Gel

I have been using this for 2 years, at first yeah it was making me break out more, but now im not even getting any pimples. I use it ever other day and i apply nivea creme on my face on opposite days, because if idont i get really dry skin. This routine is actually working out for me!:)

I never broke out in my teenage years, and i began using this product to take care of a few recuring zits on my forhead the number of pimples have multiplied and my skin feels so dry and irritated. In the morning there is dried medicine on my forehead and i have to wash and scrub to get it off. I really hate this product.

I have had moderate to severe acne for the last 8 months, I ve tried everything my dermatologist told me to go into Acutane. But I was frightened so I went to another one and she told me to apply this Stievamycin. Its kind of working but I will tell you more in a few weeks

A really recommend this . I've been using it for over a year , and my once severe acne is now just light ( mainly because I get lazy and skip some nights , and the acne comes back .. :P )

it takes a long time to work, so you've got to have patience occassionally i still get breakouts, but it definitely works persistence, that's all it takes, apply every day, don't skip it, and it'll work

I'm using the mild version to start with. The doctor told me to go very very slowly, in order to prevent redness and an initial breakout. Every evening for a week I put on a very thin layer on my face for an hour then wash it off. Then the next two to three weeks I can leave it on for 3-4 hours. Only after a month do I try and leave it on all night. In a few months I can move up to the next strength. If you go too fast, and put too much on for too many hours then you will probably get a burning sensation, and possibly a worse initial breakout. The cream was also inexpensive - only $15.50 BEFORE my insurance kicked in. I'll repost after I've used this cream longer.

I RECOMMEND THIS! just buy cetaphil with it. and maybe a really good facewash before you apply it. and put solugel on first and then cetaphil.

I used to use proactive and it only made my acne worse and i hate it..i returned it after 2 and a half months of use and got my money back. I HATE PROACTIVE. Then i went to a normal walk-in clinic and they prescribed me this miracle worker. I really started to see result after a week or so..i have been using it for 2 weeks now and i am getting more clear, and my skin has never looked so good. I only had acne on my cheeks and the odd pimple on my forehead and chin area, but now i'm gettin clear and im feeling more and more confident everyday. Please stick with this medication. Even though i haven't used it for as long as everyone else, i believe this will actually work and i couln't be happier!!:)

I have freckled skin and have always had a great complexion with the odd zit every month or so. well, in about october i all of a sudden started getting small bumps all over my face. i started using benzagel. didn't work. so now i'm on stievamycin and diane-35 (the pill). All that has been happening is now i dont have any small bumps - instead i have excruciating volcanic zits. its now only on my chin and temples- but it is NOT working. Even on the bottle it says you see improvement in 2-3 MONTHS. i dont want to get rid of my acne then. i want to get rid of my acne NOW! AND im graduating in june. i do NOT want pizza face.

I've been using Stievamycin Regular Gel for almost a year now and my skin is immaculate in comparison to before. I used it every night when it was first prescribed to me in Feb. 2007 and now my skin is perfect. I am actually able to go out without makeup on. My doctor told me to use a gentle cleanser during the day such as 'Spectroderm' (I use the one for dry skin and it helps out tons). She also told me to use an exfoliating scrub 3 times a week; the product I use is 'St. Ives Apricot Scrub' to remove the dead cells and skin that Stievamycin leaves behind. This regimen has worked wonders for me; a year later and my skin is clear and it has REMAINED clear after I stopped using the product. ***(Here's a hint at evening out your skin tone after clearing your face: if your skin can handle it get some sun! It completely evened out my skin but then again I have an olive tone which tans very evenly). I hope this helps and encourages others to stick with the product and give it time!
