For Acne "I went to the dermatologist almost a year ago, and she prescribed Acanya. At first, it dried my skin and peeled it very badly. When I went back to the dermatologist 3 months later, I told her, but she said to continue the use. But then one day I ran out, and I realized my skin was the best it's been in 3 years. I would get compliments, so when my new bottle came in, I decided not to use it. Then, about 3 months later, my acne was the worst it's been, so I did research on Acanya and realized I used it wrong. I would put it all over my face, causing it to dry. Now I put it in my problem areas only, and my face is getting better. But it makes my skin itch a little, but that's okay. I'm not saying it will work for everyone, but I wanted to share my experience."

For Acne "Also, for the people saying it dries out your skin very badly, you must be using too much. It does dry your skin out, but not badly at all. You're supposed to use a very, very little bit of it on your acne. Not your whole face, just your acne. I learned the hard way. I loaded it up on my chin, and it made my chin so dry, itchy, and red. It looked horrible, like my whole chin was scabbed. It went away after I stopped putting the cream on it for a day or two."

For Acne "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."

For Acne "Would not recommend this. I was recently prescribed by my dermatologist by using it every evening. I used it once, and the next day my entire face was red and itchy. I heard that the irritated skin lasts for a few days. Not only does it barely help my acne condition, but it's embarrassing and ridiculous to have to walk around with my face completely red."
