For Acne "I had many obnoxious but small bumps on my forehead this past summer. Along with that, the occasional large zit. I got put on Veltin by my dermatologist and began using it on August 3rd. At first, I used it every other night on my whole face except my cheeks and experienced a bit of dryness around my mouth and overall redness. That subsided fairly quickly, and I began to use it once a day at night, at least a half hour after showering and moisturizing to minimize stinging. Today is September 24, and my skin has been perfectly clear for two weeks! I have adjusted to the dryness, and my skin is very happy!"

For Acne "I have light acne, just many little ones on my forehead, and this clears up my skin within a week every time it breaks out again. It seems to dry out the pimples and make your skin quite dry and flaky, but if you use a moisturizer after, you’ll be fine. Absolutely love this and recommend!!"

For Acne "I was continually breaking out, big ones, small ones, and everything in between. The first night I used the Veltin gel, I woke up with clearer skin and only one blemish. The second night, same results the following morning. Now, after four nights of using it, my skin looks great, no pimples at all, my pores are smaller and cleaner...it's the skin I've always wished I had. I did take a break from using it last night because I noticed some dryness starting, but so far everything's still fine. I love it!"

For Acne "After 3 failed acne Rx's (epiduo, sulfur face wash, minocycline), my 13-year-old daughter was prescribed this in conjunction with amoxicillin by a dermatologist (first 3 were from a pediatrician). It has worked very well and finally cleared her acne up. Her acne was moderate when we started with the Rx's, but then I'd say 2 months of minocycline got it in the severe range. Now her face is pretty much all clear after 2 months on this product and amoxicillin. She had/has some occasional dryness and peeling, especially with her lips, but it was minor and much better than dealing with acne. I like this product."
