Pros:

Excellent- I thought I had given up, but this really works! I'm taking half the pill a day (half pill morning, half-at night

Cons:

constipation is an issue if you're prescribed Double the dosage for severe acne, which is what I had- but it only lasts for couple days. This medication has barely any side-effects!

Easy, VERY cheap (i pay zero with my insurance!!)-- I have school insurance..and bottom line- IT WORKS! so everyone, go ask your dermatologist for a prescription!

Pros:

Begins to work straight away. Basically stops any spots you get from turning red, and they heal very fast.

Cons:

Sometimes forgetting to take the pills because you forget you even suffer from acne with this stuff

Trimethoprim works fast and very effective. The only thing I have ever taken or used that has made any difference. Been taking for three years and had no side effects. Came off it for a short while and skin gradually got worse again.

Pros:

This medicine works! I have done everything. you name it i've done it...literally. My acne is under the skin so it's a little more complicated to heal but this medicine knocks it out.

Cons:

IF you miss a day of taking this medicine you will have a break-out. Makes mouth dry.

I've tired everything under the sun for acne. it's hopeless to cure my acne with a ointment or a fash wash...won't happen this is my only choice in not having acne.

Pros:

I am now well into my 10th day of taking bactrim and it is just starting to work noticeably. My nodular acne is getting smaller. I have been taking this as a temporary treatment before I start accutane.

Cons:

Takes awhile to start working.

Give it a try, its cheap... you don't have much to lose except the acne.

Pros:

I guess it worked a little bit.

Cons:

Huge pill, nausea,

Most people said this worked for them but it DID NOT work for me. I didn't have an allergic reaction but its almost like it didn't affect my skin at all. And it made me lose weight like crazy. Which shouldn't be a problem but for someone already being 20-30 pounds underweight it was quite an issue for me. You think for all those side effects it'd work like a mirace but nooope, not for me.
