Pros:

Whenever I get a pimple or two it goes away after I take this.

Cons:

HUGE PILL, what I'd advise you to do is to have some water in your mouth, put the pill in, and swallow it with more water. I hated the taste whenever it smeared on my throat. |: It doesn't help with my red marks but it works great with my pimples.

Doesn't really show effects on red marks for me, but I rarely get pimples anymore. I'm trying to get out of it forever, so I'm finding a natural and permanent way to get rid of my acne.

Pros:

I don't know if it worked or not... my skin is almost compleatly clear but i don't know if my cream did most of the work...

Cons:

HUGE pill! I was scared to down that monster...
I'm allergic to it... I broke out into a rash on my stomach, chest and arms (non-inflammatory and it wasn't itchy)
I'm hypoglycemic and I felt that the pill made it way worse.

Worth a shot... with my luck of course I was allergic. No big deal though. Try it out enerything works different with everyone. If your hypoglymic and you take this though, it may make it worse( more "episodes" more often) like it did with me.

Pros:

It deffinetly works. It gets rid of acne. Forever? No.

Cons:

I have used this product for... 4-5 months I'd say. It's great if you want immidiate clear skin. But it can cause liver problems and is not something you can take forever.

I STRONGLY advise if you decide to take this that you ontinue to do acne research and start a natural way of getting rid of acne. Bactrim will help it but the moment you stop you are back to where you started. This is a good medicine to take temporarily and not forever. I have recently stopped and let my natural regimen take over by taking fish oil, zinc, and vitamen B. THIS is a cure you can take to the moment you die and might actually make you live longer! It helps with your heart! Please dont rely on this product fully it is just something to give you some self confidence but you need to think of a future regimen. Don't rely on antibiotics, you dont want to kill your liver and perhaps worse.

Pros:

This product really worked wonders for my face. I had absolutely no break outs while on the medication.

Cons:

allergic reaction to it.

Do not take this medication!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was taking this medication for three weeks. On the third week, my entire body broke out with an itchy rash of hives, even the bottom of my feet. I developed vagina itching along with rectum itching. This is no ordinary rash. This type of rash feels like someone is constantly stabbing you with knives and the rash retains heat. Could you imagine your entire body itching at the same time and it last of days? I couldn't even sleep because of the rash.

Pros:

Eventually works with a high dosage.

Cons:

Takes a while to work. Doesn't cure acne, just controlls it.

It made acne significantly worse for the first month of taking it. Increased dosage to 6 double strength pills a day and the acne has finally begun to calm down on chest and face.

Pros:

No bad side effects for me.

Cons:

It was like taking a sugar pill. No effect on my acne.

For some people it seemed this worked great. My acne may have been too severe for Bactrim to work. I'm currently taking 60 mg accutane, let's hope that does the job!

Pros:

WORKS WELL; FACE DIDN'T HURT AS MUCH, RARELY HAD ACNE ON NECK, CHEST, AND BACK WHILE TAKING IT

Cons:

IT WAS AN INCONVIENCE TO TAKE 2 PILLS A DAY; DIDN'T LIKE TAKING ANTIBIOTICS OVER LENGTH OF TIME, DIDN'T CLEAR COMPLETELY

BEST THING I USED BEFORE ACCUTANE BUT DIDN'T LIKE THE FACT OF TAKING AN ANTIBIOTIC FOR AS LONG AS I DID. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT.

Pros:

Seemed to work

Cons:

VERY ALLERGIC

I wish I had a chance to try this for a longer period of time. After only a week I got very sick, red all over, and had joint pain that is beyond description. It turned out I am allergic, but it seems to have helped many.

Pros:

I love this prescription. I took it last winter because I always break out in the winter and it cleared me up completely within a few months... when I came off it I had almost an entire year of clear skin. Had to go back though :(

Cons:

Nothing for me...taste bad if they get stuck in your throat.

See a dermatologist. I know that it is expensive for most of us... but it is worth it. Even just the idea that something is helping you can make it better. If your skin reacts well to sulfur I would really try this... and for me it wasn't one of those treatments that takes several months to see results, it works fairly fast.
