For Acne "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!"

For Acne "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 makeup goes on flawlessly. Pro's: WORKS GREAT! Cons: Prescription only - Small jar."

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 "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 experienced 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!"
