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 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 "I'm a teenager with moderate acne, and I used this product in conjunction with 50 mg of doxycycline twice daily for two months. All I can say is neither of these products helped my skin at all, and I'll say that they probably made my skin worse. The first two weeks on these products, my skin did nothing, got neither worse nor better, but by week 3 my face exploded with acne in places I usually don't even get acne, and for the rest of the two months my skin got no better after that breakout. I even went dairy-free in order to hopefully reap the best results from this product, but it didn't work out either way."

For Acne "I've been using this, along with a medicated morning scrub, for about 3 months now. I've noticed less inflamed acne spots, but I still get normal breakout flares at different times. I'm still waiting to see consistent results at this point. But I did stop using the Veltin gel while I had a stomach virus, and even just missing the one dose that evening, the next day I had brand new flare-ups of acne. So the medicine is definitely doing something."

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."

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'm 19 years old, and I started Veltin on May 17 for both hormonal acne but specifically for the many whiteheads that covered my forehead. By July, my skin was completely clear. I know that this medication did its exact job, but it also came with the side effects of having dry skin permanently, my face becoming red whenever I walk out into the sun, and having random rashes on my face due to how sensitive it is. I'm no longer using the medication because, after I moved from Florida to New Hampshire, my skin was extremely dry, and it caused more problems than benefits. I haven't had a single acne cyst since my skin has been clear. My only problem now is dealing with my skin texture and my skin occasionally peeling if my skin disagrees with something."

For Acne "I have used Epiduo in the past. Veltin appears to help many people and be a great product, it doesn't help me too much! It causes my skin to be irritated, and I automatically started peeling like crazy after one dosage. Everyone is different, but if Veltin isn't working for you, try Epiduo!"

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 "I went to the dermatologist seeking help for young, hormonal acne before it got worse. I tried clindamycin. It worked until my skin began to break out. My dermatologist recommended Veltin. It worked well, however, my skin dried out. It started to peel back, almost like a bad sunburn. I recommend using Veltin, as long as you use a moisturizer with it. I am going on an excursion out of the country soon, and I was starting to run out. (Note: it is recommended not to use benzoyl peroxide with Veltin, which decreases the effectiveness of the product.) I dismissed this claim, and I am using a non-prescription benzoyl peroxide product at the time of spot treating problem zones with Veltin. No complications have come yet, however, use with caution as this product WILL dry your skin, and even more irritation will occur if using a more vigorous product at the same time. I recommend this product for moderate acne."

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."

For Acne "Worst topical medicine I have ever used. After applying once on my already almost healed pimples, it burnt my face, made it swollen, and looked way worse than it was before. Now I have to roam around with a burnt face and big scars on my face. I would never, ever recommend this to anyone."

For Acne "33 years old. I just threw this out. Tried it for a week, and I have 3 huge volcanoes on my face only where I applied it. I don’t have time to try acne gels that promise to clear up skin after it’s been purged. No thank you."
