For Acne "I have struggled with moderate to severe acne since high school (now 24) and have tried just about every product on the market, including two rounds of Accutane. Last week, I saw my derm, and she put me on Onexton, as well as Retin-A. After less than a week of being on this combination, my skin looks better than it has in months, and I'm certain it is primarily due to Onexton. Fair warning: the first few days of this medication are very, very rough. I looked like a burn victim, and my entire face was peeling, red, and burning. However, by about day 4 or 5, it had appeared as though I had gotten a chemical peel, and my skin was glowing! I'm so, so happy with this medication and have been recommending it to everyone I know."

For Acne "I've been on this for a week and a half, and it's working fine, I guess. Too early to tell. However, it really burns my skin. I guess I have sensitive skin. Idk, but it burns a lot, and it's really irritating. I use this with Retin-A, so idk if together they burn, but it burns a lot."

For Acne "I was on Accutane for 7 months. Something like that. And had no acne at all afterwards, but 6 months later I had a random terrible flare-up and used Onexton. Worked pretty well except I put too much on one area, so it kind of burnt my skin."

For Acne "If I could give this a negative number, I would. It murdered my skin. It made my skin horribly worse. I woke up the morning after my first application (which happened to be the day I was taking the SAT!) with my skin just a horrible peeling, painful mess. My skin felt like there was acid underneath it. My face was disgusting, it was completely tight (it looked leathery!!!) and covered with dead skin. I couldn't see fresh skin ANYWHERE. It was all peeling off. And burning. I, of course, stopped using it. But for the next 2 weeks, my skin was peeling non-stop (moisturizer and exfoliating were no help) and my face was dark red. It looked like I had an absolutely horrible sunburn. This was after just using Onexton ONCE. Wouldn't recommend."
