User Reviews for Acanya

My dermatologist gave me Acanya to use in the mornings. My acned improved a little in the beginning but then returned/got worse. It works differently for different people.

I went to a new dermatologist because my acne is out of control. I've had acne for 10 years and this is the worst it has ever been. He gave me Acanya for the morning and it stings so bad I could cry. My face turns red, it's tight, burning, and not improving. I've been using Acanya for almost a week, I know results might take longer. As for now, I am not happy. Just be warned, it is very drying and can make your day uncomfortable.

LOVE this. Nothing has ever worked on my face. I have been using it for 5 days (mornings only) and people have already commented that my skin looks so good. I have no burning, no redness, no flaking, etc. (and I have extremely sensitive skin). I am so excited. I put a very thin layer on in the morning and then apply my make-up over top. It does not leave a film/residue on my skin and my make up goes on flawlessly. Pro's: WORKS GREAT! Cons: Prescription only - Small Jar

I tried this gel after suffering from severe acne once a month (after stopping birth control). I'm 28 years old, have always had a FEW pimples at a time, but never anything like what I experiences after stopping birth control! I used the gel, and the first day was terrible. My whole skin burned and peeled, and I stopped using Acanya after that for about 3 weeks. I then researched the gel, and was informed that I shouldn't have put it all over my face, especially in sensitive areas. So I tried using it again, only on my forehead and jawline. I have literally not had one acne breakout since I have started up again, and it has been about 7 months! One pimple once in a while, but that's it! Amazing! No more burning as well!

My dermatologist gave me a sample and I have been using this medicine for 3 weeks and the difference is amazing.

My dermatologist told me to not expect results right away. He was wrong. I have been using this for 4 days and already see a big improvement in the size of my pores, and have not got a new pimple since. I have high hopes for Acanya gel.

I've been using it for 3 days now, only at night. I have combination skin normally and this gel doesn't dry out my skin like other topical creams. My face is clearing up very nicely. By the way I have cystic acne and there is no burning or stinging like other reviewers have experienced. Everyone's skin is different but I would highly recommend trying Acanya.

Acanya is awesome. I had a pizza face and my mom got me some to use; my acne started clearing up in a few hours, and now a week later my skin is completely clear.

My skin naturally is not that oily, and I was put on Acanya by my dermatologist. It was not only thick and white, but it dried out my skin very badly. It did somewhat help my acne, but it left my skin with bad marks, and dry to the point where I could not move it without pain. I did not like this medicine. I am off of it now and on a much better one that nourishes my skin as well as treats the acne. Acanya was just not for me.

I LOVE this product. I suffered from breakouts (not horrible) but enough to make me self-conscious about. It does not make your face dry, if anything it smooths it out. I use a tad in the morning and a whole pump at night all over my face. I haven't been getting pimples at all, except for a few that were unnoticeable. And it worked almost immediately. I also paired this with Solodyn tablets 55mg for only the first month. Amazing. If anyone has mild breakouts then I strongly recommend these 2 products. Good luck. This may not work for everyone, but if you have mild acne then I would go for it.

I have used this for a month and my skin is now fantastic! I also saw a difference in 3 days. I recommend this to anyone at any age who has this problem. I wish I had this 20 years ago.

I have been using Acanya for only a short time. Less than a week and I see a huge difference in my skin. My doctor told me that it wouldn't be perfect but I can live with that. My pores have decreased and I have not developed a new pimple since beginning treatment

I have been using Acanya for a little over a week and love it. I love that it doesn't dry my face, but my skin has shown vast improvement. I should have seen a dermatologist a lot sooner.

My dermatologist recommended Acanya and Retin A but I decided not to use Retin A because of the side effects, so I just use Acanya once every morning and I love it. It truly works. I recommend this to anyone to try it, everyone reacts differently.

I have been using Acanya, in the morning and Retin-A, at night. It has helped my skin, but not cleared it. I don't think Acanya is effective on my skin. It's been 2 months.

I recently started using Acanya and so far I am very pleased. My skin is almost completely cleared up after only 4 DAYS! It does itch a LITTLE when you first apply it, but as soon as it dries and soaks into the skin, it's fine. I recommend trying this product.

This product is amazing! I have gone through one bottle and am on to my second. It stings a little at first but then it goes away. My skin is the clearest its ever been. I have tried everything from homemade remedies to high-end expensive products and NOTHING has worked for me the way Acanya has.

I have been using this product for a week and my skin has been amazing! I would get small zits all over and they have completly gone away and no new zits have come up! No reddness or dryness. I have very oily skin! I recommend this to everyone!

I just got it two days ago and almost all of my acne has cleared up. I have normal skin which dries out a bit with this, but if I just moisturize a bit, it works wonders.

Helped in the beginning but acne came back with a vengence in a month or so. I kept trying it along with the entire protocol which did not help at all.

I've been using it for a while and it helps, but it isn't great.

I am 49 yrs old, had cystic acne all my adult life. My dermatologist put me on Acanya 5 months ago and my skin looks the best it ever had. My co-workers all think I am wearing makeup. Have such large pores and they are shrinking too. No peeling, I guess because I have oily skin. But as an African American woman, I didn't think I would ever find anything that would successfully help my skin. I am so grateful. It just takes patience!

I've always been hesitant to use acne medication in the morning because I felt like it would do nothing for me. Also I have to wear makeup before I leave the house so the only thing I usually have underneath my foundation is a moisturizer. I've added Acanya to my regime for the past week or so and my face has improved almost instantly. My pores look smaller and I haven't gotten any new bumps and the ones I already have are going away. I say stick to this product even if you don't see improvements at first! Hopefully I'll see more improvements

I had moderate acne and I have tried pretty much everything out there to try to cure it. A few months ago I started to use Acanya in the morning and Atralin at night and the results were amazing! There was no period of time that things got worse and within a few days I noticed a difference. Now after a few months I rarely get a zit and the texture of my face is substantially better. I would recommend Acanya for sure.
