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 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."

For Acne "Awful product. Did not do anything it was supposed to. I have very, very mild acne. I wouldn't even call it acne, just pimples. And every time I have tried to use Acanya, it hasn't helped with any pimples and just left my face red and burned the next day. This redness stays for at least 4 days. It's so embarrassing and not worth it for a product that just makes your pimples more obvious because of huge red spots. Awful product. Throwing it in the garbage so I never have the idea of using it again."

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."

For Acne "I am a 23 y/o female and have had moderate acne since I was a teenager. I went to the dermatologist about 3 weeks ago, and she prescribed me Acanya for the morning, Ziana at night, and Minocycline twice a day. I can say I see a huge difference in my acne, I have had no new pimples since starting this treatment, and my acne marks are fading. My only issue is that the creams (mostly the Acanya) make my face red and burn very badly for an hour or so after applying, but that goes away. My lips are very dry and cracked as well. I do use a moisturizer, but I'm liberal with it because my face gets very oily."
