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.

Pros:

It is was helping. Been on it for almost 8 months, but after 6 months

Cons:

I notice that i was getting strange blistering bumps on my forehead and then it became more and more..like it was spreading. I believe it's because of this meds, because before and

i think you have to keep trying and stop right away when you see signs of side effects.

Pros:

Seems to work quickly even when other medications won't

Cons:

Warning-High levels of allergic reactions

Started to work after 10 days and things were looking good until...itchy hives and a rash on my legs. I would give it a try if other mild antibiotics aren't working out, maybe you will have better luck.

Seemed to get acne under control.

I had been on it a couple of weeks and noticed great improvement. Then I broke out in hives on my hands and arms. I had to discontinue. It's too bad...

Pros:

Not Sure Yet

Cons:

Headaches, dizziness

ive been using this for almost 3 weeks, it seems to be working on the back and chest, but i honestly dont see improvement on my face, i think this may be because i am also on retin a which is known to "surface" all of your acne but i dont kno. But be cautious to take it easy when excercising. i work out alot and i am in pretty good shape, and the last 3 times i have gone to the gym i have received instense headaches and dizziness. I vomited thelast time and i am not even working out as hard as i did before using the medication i dont know why exactly this happenes, but i think the vomiting may of been excercising with a stomach full of water since my mouth dries out so quickly(which is also from this drug) so i drank over a gallon of water. so yeah just be careful. in the meantime i am going to pray i see results soon

Pros:

I have adult cystic acne, and it cleared most of the larger cysts within about a week.

Cons:

Horrible allergic reaction!! I wish I could still use this product, but after only 2 and a half weeks of use I had a really really bad reaction. Fever, chills, couldn't breathe, extreme itching...just plain bad.

It's a wonderful product, if you aren't allergic.

Pros:

It has been making me break out rather than helping my moderate acne that i have on my cheeks. Called the derm and they said it would get worse before better so I'm hoping i'll see improvement soonn..

Cons:

Breakouttttt, loss of appetite (unless that's good haha), fatigue

Very affordable, very strong, but it may take awhile to work and you may get worse before you get better, i still have yet to be better but we'll hope
