For Acne "The first week, my skin got very dry and patchy. It peeled a good bit. The second week, my skin broke out worse than it ever has, and I started getting really discouraged that it wasn't working, and I felt like it had made my skin worse. I am now about to finish up my third week, and my skin is really clearing up well. I would say be patient with this product and give it one full month, and you will begin to see results. The method I use is washing my face, patting it dry, putting on a moisturizer, waiting about 10-15 minutes, then applying the Veltin only on the acne spots. This has seemed to work best for me."

For Acne "This gel will make you break out like crazy in the first few weeks. I never broke out that much to begin with, it got me so worried. I kept using it, and weeks passed by. It's over a month, it cleared up my skin and my scars. I am so happy my face is clear, it works really well. Anyone who is using Veltin should give it a chance, be patient with it, it will clear up."

For Acne "I've been using this for about 2 and a half weeks now. I initially broke out significantly, but now that has calmed down along with my acne in general. I do still get some small zits here and there, but they quickly subside or stay very small. My skin also peeled a lot and has dried up, but I can see that gradually improving as well. The scarring has gotten slightly better, but I'm liking what I'm seeing so far overall."

For Acne "I have been using Veltin for a few months for acne, layers of skin, and ingrown hairs. It is the best topical treatment I've ever used. Anyone serious about their skin has to go through the time of having ugly cystic acne come out. The reason some people don't give it 10 stars is that you break out initially, but if you are educated about skin, then you know you have to break out first for your skin to get better. I have been very depressed because my face got so bad I looked like a different person and still do, but Veltin is helping me get my face back."

For Acne "I'm 15 and started using this around January 2013. I had mostly acne on my forehead, nowhere else. It cleared it up really well, and I had clear skin for about 3 months. Then summer started, and my hormones started acting up, and I broke out a ton on my cheeks and sort of on my forehead. I know it's not Veltin's fault, but I am taking minocycline pills with the Veltin now. All I have to say is Veltin is great, don't stop using it. It also cleared up my back acne."

For Acne "I have been using this for about a month and a half. It dries my skin out and I need to moisturize about 5 times a day opposed to twice. My face will get clear and then break out again. I'm still waiting on results."

For Acne "I originally had mild pustular acne. I used Veltin for 5 weeks before giving up. My face became red, weeping, stinging, and covered in cystic acne while using it. I used it once a night as prescribed and would use Cetaphil lotion on my face morning and night to try to hydrate my skin. It got to the point where I did not want to go to work because of comments. Just putting water on my face made me cry. Within 2 weeks of stopping, my acne is back to mild and my face is healing with 2 scars from where it was peeling and weeping."

For Acne "I have been using Veltin for about 5 weeks now. At first, I was worried when I started using it because it made me break out across my forehead. Luckily, the pimples were small and not severe. My skin has adjusted to the medicine, and although I still have some pimples, I’m pretty happy with the results. I’m going to continue to use this product throughout the summer."
