"I had severe acne on my face, arms, and back. I picked at the pimples until they bled, resulting in sores and scars. My dermatologist recommended a combination of a benzoyl peroxide body wash and the sulfacetamide sodium lotion. The lotion was drying and still caused me to pick at the scabs, halting the healing process. I then started putting a moisturizing lotion on top of the sulfacetamide lotion, creating a moisture barrier. Thus, cutting down on the dryness and itching. The acne improved greatly! You only need to put a thin layer on the skin to work. Since I had a bad habit of picking at the pimples, adding a non-scented moisturizing lotion alongside the medicated wash and lotion promoted healing and deterred further pimples from developing. Over-the-counter meds did absolutely nothing. Developing adult acne in your 50s is not easy to deal with, but I'm grateful for this lotion. It cured my acne."

"I used the samples my doctor gave me for oily skin. It smelled terrible, but it really worked for my oily skin! I got the prescription and, guess what... it smells great and DOESN'T WORK! I brought it to my doctor and she compared the labels and they matched up. I thought maybe it was a fluke, so I got the medicine again and same thing... good smell, but doesn't work at all. It was so depressing because I had finally found something that controlled my oil, but I can't ask for a lifetime of samples! At $50 a pop (with insurance), I'm not going to keep trying it."

"Made my son’s chin acne 100 times worse. Chin was clear but started this cleanser as a preventative to football chin strap acne but broke him out with huge, painful pimples. I would not recommend this. Should have just stuck with a basic cleanser like Vanicream and Clindamycin topical solution."

"Very alarming symptoms. Joints in hands and big toes began hurting after using two weeks. I am talking constant pain. This medication causes lupus! I am so scared, I’ve stopped using it. This Rx is not worth the health risks. I am very upset with my dermatologist. I hope my joint pain goes away! I am most sickened by this."

"Very good medication for any kind of acne. I had terrible acne until I got prescribed this medicine. I've been using it for about 8 years, and it changed my life."

"This product is the best thing you can buy, it is amazing. I had acne, and I went to my dermatologist, and she told me to buy this, but this is awesome. You should definitely buy this product."

"It smells terrible, so I only used it at night when I showered. I gave it 2 months, and it didn't help at all! I guess it works for some and not for others."
