For Acne "This product works amazingly well. I've been using it for just a few weeks. I had strange oily cysts growing from underneath my skin and erupting at the surface. This gel stopped it in about 1-2 days, which allowed my skin to finally heal from that trauma caused by the cysts. It's a powerful medication, so common sense is needed when using it. Think of it as an exfoliant on steroids. A normal exfoliant helps you to shed dead skin at a slow rate. This gel, however, will cause massive peeling after about 1 week's use. My dermatologist recommended this regimen: wash with Cetaphil, pat dry, apply the gel, and follow up with the Cetaphil moisturizer. Only apply the gel at night since exposure to the sun is to be avoided when you have it on. When the peeling becomes too excessive for me, I stop and only apply the gel to the areas that were affected. If I do not, it will literally burn my skin on other areas of the face which looked just fine. So you have to use common sense."

For Acne "The medication had severely dried up my skin. It is constantly peeling. Everything I do to it burns it so bad I want to cry. I can’t even touch around my under eyes. It helped clear up my acne decently fast. I’m going to keep using it, but I hope the side effects go away SOON."

For Acne "I've used this medicine for about a week along with a prescribed antibiotic. I have noticed that it has significantly cleared up. But it's making my face look sunburnt without being in the sun too much. My neck also recently just got really red from halfway up. Overall, it's been decent: peeling, redness, and occasional burning. But so far, I like the results."

For Acne "I've been using this product for about a year, but started to apply it from once a day to every other day to stopping the treatment altogether because it irritated my skin so much that it started peeling and burning around my mouth and nose, then started to spread to my cheeks. It was noticeably red with makeup on and altogether looks terrible. It eventually made my acne from horrible to worse to okay to awful. I don’t recommend this product to people with very sensitive skin."

For Acne "Absolutely horrible. After using for only two days, my skin feels like it is on fire constantly. It literally feels like my skin is burning off of my face. This was after only two small applications to my face."

For Acne "I started using this, and it was fine until my face one morning started burning really bad, my face was bright red! When I tried to wash it off, my face started stinging and burning so bad I could have cried."
