"This isn’t about the drug but about the packaging... THERES SO MUCH PACKAGING! I get it I don’t want to be pregnant either but damn I think I got rid an entire species by taking this drug for months"

"I used Claravis for 5 months and the results were amazing at first. However, I have been off Claravis for 2 months now and I'm getting stubborn cyst pimples and whiteheads again. I don't know what to do because I thought this was a "last resort" medication. I am going back to my dermatologist."

"I've been on Claravis for over two months now and haven't had a major break out since the first month. Very, very dry lips and overall dry skin, but my dermatologist recommended Cetaphil for that. Try to stay out of the sun as it does cause your skin to burn easily. Can't wait to finish as it does cause slight lack of energy."

"I started my treatment early 2009, and continued with it through October of that year. At first, I didn't see much improvement, complaining to my dermatologist for the first few months. What I did notice was the extremely dry skin, awful chapped lips, patches of what looked like eczema but wasn't, muscle pain, bloody noses, a tendency to bruise and bleed more easily, severe loss of appetite and depression. also, major sensitivity to all forms of light, especially sun, vision change and fatigue. when starting my medication both my gynecologist and optometrist advised against it. it was towards the end of my treatment when I started seeing results. My skin was flawless for about a year. After being off of it for 11 months, my acne is back."

"I am on my 3rd week of Claravis. I have one pimple, that I picked unfortunately, so it looks bad, but other than that pretty clear skin! I was really dry around my nose, lips and chin. I also was red all over my face, like Rosacea, and swollen on my forehead between my eyes and on my chin...weird. But I started using Clinique Redness solutions face wash, moisturizer and SPF 15 base (all in one kit) and now the redness is almost gone and my skin looks more normal. I also started using Clinique Mineral Makeup and LOVE it! Great coverage and nice finish. I use Aquaphor at night for my lips and anywhere that is flaky in addition to the Clinique moisturizer. I just bought Murad Pomegranate Lip Treatment for day use."

"I'm 55 years old and have always had issues with acne. As I hit menopause my acne became cystic. I tried antibiotics and creams but nothing worked. My dermatologist finally put me on Claravis. Within a month my skin started clearing up. The side effects I got are super dry skin, my face started peeling, I used to get acne on my scalp, face, chest and back. It did affect my depression and anxiety. My blood work showed my triglycerides high so I'm stuck at 30mg so they won't get higher. At this point I've been on it going on my 9th month and I'm still going to be on it till October. Side effects aside from dry skin are my face peels, some body aches, I'm always tired and I've had lots of hair loss. I use Jack Black's intense therapy lip balm for my lips so my lips don't crack. No bloody nose. I'm still purging a little so I do get a few tiny pimples here and there. I'm hoping that will stop when I'm done."

"I normally had really good blood pressure. 1 week before starting Claravis my bottom number was 66, 1 week after taking Claravis my bottom blood pressure reading was 98. You are considered to have high blood pressure at 90. I can't believe it got so high so quick! I'm stopping taking it today! Not worth the risk of having a stroke. Also really expensive medication."

"I'm on my second week of Claravis 20mg, 29yrs old. My first week was okay, until I get my period, and now I'm breaking out again. I always breakout around my period. I hope it gets better. Maybe birth control pill will help my acne, but I don't want to take any birth control pills."

"This medicine has a lot of pros and cons. The pro is that your skin will clear almost completely and the con is that you will have dry lips and palms and joint pain. But I think it's a fair trade."
