Aczone (dapsone): I am a 49 year old woman with acne, rosacea, and sensitive skin and I have finally found a solution in Aczone. My face is nearly clear. I won't say it's perfect, because I do have an occasional stray bump here and there, but my whole face simply calmed down. I've reduced the number of medications I use to three - aczone, oracea and kuric cream. I am not photosensitive to this like I have been to other topical treatments. It is a little drying but nothing like some other medicines I've tried. I found an improvement almost immediately. I am thankful that it has been placed on the market. It's worth every penny to me.

Aczone (dapsone): I've had cystic acne for about a year now. The gel seems to be working and doesn't irritate my skin either. I'm not getting as many breakouts. I've been using it for 3 weeks now.

Aczone (dapsone): I have had severe acne for years. I finally found this topical, and am extremely happy. I have been using it for almost a month. I don't get any severe drying, but it does keep my skin less oily looking (it's usually very oily), I don't have any peeling, redness or sun-sensitivity. I also have a marked reduction in the inflammation of nodules/cysts. It literally shrinks them after application, so I use it before I go out if I have a noticeable red bump or big cyst. I am really pleased, and just hoping it gets better from here. It has also improved the texture and look of my scars, so much so friends and family have commented without me asking! I would definitely recommend this, especially if you have severe acne, adult acne or scarring.

Aczone (dapsone): This stuff is amazing! When I hit 30 I started breaking out horribly. I'm talking at least 3 a day including the deep cystic ones. My dermatologist started me on this and I noticed a difference in a couple of days. Two weeks later I was 85% clear. I've been on this now for 5 weeks and am now at 95%. I do get an occasional here and there, but it's nothing like I was dealing with this before. You can buy over the counter things that you want, but this will get your face clean and it's stayed clear for me. Knock on Wood!

Aczone (dapsone): Aczone is amazing ....I have been using it for about three months now along with Acanya gel and Doryx tablets. It has significantly reduced my acne. I am 17 with horrible breakouts around my mouth and chin. Aczone feels really fresh, and it doesn't make me peel. It shrinks my pimples. I still get breakouts but not like the ones before the pimples. Now I get just little bumps and the occasional whitehead. One thing about Aczone that is weird to me is that if I don't apply moisturizer almost immediately after applying the Aczone, it makes some parts of my face white and others brownish. Overall I love this product and I hope my acne just keeps getting better

Aczone (dapsone): I have tried almost everything under the sun as related to acne medicine. The only thing that worked for me is Aczone. I have only been using it for 10 days now but my face has cleared up so fast. I have never seen my skin look so good in the last 5 years. It doesn't irritate the skin and goes on very light and absorbs right in. Highly, highly recommended.

Aczone (dapsone): I've been using it about a month now and I've noticed my skin actually getting worse. I've seen no improvement.

Aczone (dapsone): I am 13 years old and I have acne pretty bad. My mom was starting to get worried so she took me to the dermatologist. She gave me Aczone and some other gel. I have used it for about two weeks every morning and night. This is amazing! I never thought anything could help me but this really did! I love it!

Aczone (dapsone): I have struggled with mild but persistent acne since I was 11 or so, and am now 21 and finally doing something about it! I am doing 3 things: Doryx (oral antibiotic), Retin-A micro at night, and Aczone mornings (and afternoons sometimes). I have seen huge improvement over the last 3 months, though not perfectly clear (mine is clearly hormonal and stress-related, so that's frustrating). Aczone doesn't dry out my skin and make it flake like other topical creams or gels (especially Benzaclin) and it makes my face feel smooth. Strangely, within the last week I have noticed some itchiness/dryness and peeling and I don't know why there is this change. I have been more consistent about putting it on twice a day instead of once, so maybe that's why

Aczone (dapsone): Black female with cystic acne and dark spots on cheeks and under chin! I am so happy with Aczone. 2 months in and I look different without the bumps on my face. It is also slowly breaking up my dark spots too! Really calmed down my acne and I feel good about the progress!

Aczone (dapsone): IT WORKS! I had just about had it with acne and then after what seemed like forever, I went to the dermatologist and she gave me Aczone. I've been using it for about a month and almost everything is gone! Finally something that works.

Aczone (dapsone): I'm in my early 40's and have always had acne problems and sensitive skin. This has done miracles for me. I saw results within 3 days. It is worth the price. Other things broke me out and made the problem worse. I hate spending money on things that don't work. I am so glad to find something that does!

Aczone (dapsone): I'm 33 years old with bad forehead acne that started in my early/mid 20s. I've been to dermatologists for years and everything I try eventually fails and seems to actually get worse in the long run. Aczone has been awesome for me. It took about 3 weeks before it started working, but no side effects whatsoever. I'm at about 2.5 months now and my skin hasn't been this good for many years. I love it. My skin isn't 100% perfect, but this is definitely the best thing I've tried, and I've tried a lot. Right now, this is all I'm using.

Aczone (dapsone): changed my life. I used to have horrible skin and honestly people always compliment me about how flawless I am. A little makeup helps too though.

Aczone (dapsone): Have been using Aczone for 3 days..after struggling with acne all over my jaw line it is working great. I am also using Differin at night and a very strong prescription vitamin also- which I like the idea of since it is not an antibiotic and it is natural. Never give up. There is always an alternate method.

Aczone (dapsone): I'm 23. I always had small mostly unnoticeable blemishes. Just before my 21 birthday I got pregnant. So my hormones must have changed. I started getting larger pimples with redness, and the breakouts seemed to itch. I went to the dermatologist and she put on a regimen that includes Aczone 2x a day, along with Differin gel after at night, and ampicillin 2x a day, and I wash my face with Cerva. Though I'm in the "worse before better" stage I have to say I like the Aczone. I have extremely sensitive skin and I have tried many things that result in dryness, redness, peeling and burning. With Aczone I don't get anything like that. There's a slight itch that lasts for about a minute. Just remember only a pea size amount. Cerva lotion is good at night.

Aczone (dapsone): I have used every product out there- many did not work and others made my skin so dry and red. Aczone works beautifully- my skin is very clear most of the time. Highly recommended.

Aczone (dapsone): Aczone did not help my acne at all. It made my skin burn when I applied it, and also made my acne somewhat worse than before. It's side effects were extremely prominent and my skin was dry, red, and irritated. I don't think this is the right medication for me.

Aczone (dapsone): I had HORRIBLE acne on my back - all over. So bad I almost gave up. I went on birth control, and have been applying Aczone twice a day, and it's been working fabulously! Other creams haven't been as affective at all and also bleached my cloths. Aczone doesn't do that. I am also not peeling at all, which I usually get. I also had really bad cystic acne on my neck and it is COMPLETELY gone! It's so worth the price.

Aczone (dapsone): Fantastic product, helped immediately with getting rid of the rosacea bumps, drying them up and reducing redness after the first application. Amazing! I wash my face with a mild cleaner, Cerave, apply the Aczone on my whole face at night and only on affected areas in the morning. Am taking a tetracycline antibiotic but will be off of that soon.

Aczone (dapsone): I have been using this for 1 week with an antibiotic called Solodyn (Minocycline). I have light acne but my biggest problem was painful hormonal cysts on my chin and this did not leave me dry like Retin-A did. I had noticeable results in just 1 week! With any skin issue I know that results don't happen overnight but I am so happy with this product that I had to review it!

Aczone (dapsone): Awesome - don't use it too often. One tube lasts a while.
