For Acne "This stuff is the BEST! I have suffered with acne for years. Really painful under-the-skin cystic acne that has literally brought me to near tears, it hurt so bad. I tried everything, and nothing ever worked. This was the last option I had to try before my dermatologist went forward with cortisone shots and Accutane as a last resort. I have been using Onexton once a day for 6 months now, and I haven't had a cystic pimple in about 5 months! Or any pimple for that matter, besides the one occasional tiny pimple that you can't see, and hardly anything comes out. Gone by morning with Onexton! My skin is so clear and smooth, I love it. The only 2 downsides are the first month, it made me break out a little more than usual as it was trying to get rid of the acne rather than maintain a clear face like now. The other downside is it does make you dry, but as long as you exfoliate once or twice a month and use a good moisturizer, you should be square. I am so happy my dermatologist had me try this!"

For Acne "I spent over $100 for Onexton to completely destroy my skin. Do not use this if you have sensitive skin. It made my skin so dry and sensitive that I caused more breakouts. I have disfiguring scars from the cystic pimples that Onexton caused. I stopped using this six months ago, and my pores are still large, my skin is red, and since my skin is so sensitive, I constantly have breakouts that I can’t do anything to prevent since topicals could cause further damage. This is definitely one of my worst decisions."
