Life saver

This product saved my face - literally. Prescribed by my doctor after seeing him for mild to moderate acne, it did exactly what it had to do. After 2 months of daily usage, I saw a major difference in my face, there wasn't any more breakouts. It is drying though

I first started using this in high school when my acne was getting really bad and I just needed to get it under control.I went to my doctor and she prescribed me this gel. I remember when I first started using it , it was pretty rough my skin was red and flaky and irritated but I stuck through it and I'm glad I did. It completely changed my skin and I no longer needed it anymore on a daily basis.Now i just use it on areas when I get hormonal acne during that time of month.It can be very drying especially in the winter which is why I will only use it at night and then follow up with a heavy moisturizer in the morning.
It costs me about 12$ after insurance.

My dermatologist prescribed this as an acne treatment for my face which broke out like crazy over the holidays, mainly in the chin area. It's pretty expensive, but with health insurance, I only had to pay $9. One tube lasts about 2 months. This is a topical antibiotic cream that you apply to pimples and their surrounding areas. It's been really effective, but requires some patience. It took almost two months for my face to completely clear up. It also requires diligence - must be applied everyday day for it to work. It feels a bit like putting white glue on your face, but after it dries, it's not so bad. And I got used to it after a while. Like all skincare regimens, one cream can't do everything. This particular gel targets the bacteria that forms acne. So, it helps to get rid of the larger, deeper pimples, but does nothing for acne scars.
