For Acne "Amazing! It was very difficult at first - had a lot of peeling, dryness, and breakouts but I stuck it out. After about 4-5 months I started seeing a major improvement and now my skin is very smooth. Not only does it take care of acne but it smooths out fine lines. Great product, highly recommend. Try to stay patient through the first couple of months."

For Acne "I love this product. It really cleared my skin up and it looks smooth, and makeup goes on so nice. Some comments talk about how their skin got worse...of course it did, but only at first. The doctor told me it brings everything to the surface and clears out everything, so of course it got worse before it got better. My skin looks great. This medicine rocks!"

For Acne "I have a 13-year-old daughter, and she started to have acne. We went to a dermatologist, and they prescribed Acanya for the morning and Atralin for the night, and to use Cetaphil morning and night and the Cetaphil moisturizer at night. She started noticing a difference in about 4 to 6 weeks of using these great products. She has now been using this for about 3 months, and her face is as clear as ever. She still gets a few pimples here and there, but besides that, this product is great."

For Acne "Absolutely amazing product! My face looked like a 14-year-old boy's does when he is going through puberty. I began putting Atralin on nightly along with taking a probiotic (instead of taking an antibiotic, which is so bad for your gut), and my face did appear to be worse during the first week and a half, but then all of a sudden it began clearing up so quickly! I've been using it a little less than a month and still get a few pimples, but it is so much better. Can't wait to see how it works within the next 3 months! I already see fine lines and acne scars improving! Amazing!"

For Acne "I am 21, and I had bumps on my chin every day since I was 16. I had tried EVERYTHING, including a Clarisonic, expensive face washes, creams, etc. Thankfully, my dermatologist prescribed me Atralin, and my skin is practically perfect. I had an initial breakout for about a week and a half, then suddenly my skin was perfect. No bumps and so smooth! It does make my face rather shiny, which I am not used to since I have dry skin. I am so happy with this product! It is so nice to wake up every morning with great skin. This is worth the price tag. I wash my face nightly with Bobbi Brown 'extra balm rinse,' use this gel, then apply a heavy moisturizer. Get Atralin! It will change your life!"

For Acne "I have been using Atralin for about a month and a half now. I started out with very moderate acne, a few pimples but nothing substantial. I have been struggling with acne for five years, and I just wanted something to totally zap my acne. Well, Atralin is NOT that. I have very sensitive skin, and I am still peeling after all this time. When I started using it, it made me break out, and now my acne and red spots are worse."

For Acne "I had clear skin up until about age 18 when I went on birth control, and my skin got pretty out of control. I'm 20 now and finally went to the doctor. They gave me Atralin and 14 days of 100 mg doxycycline once daily. I've been using Atralin for about 2-3 weeks now, I started seeing results immediately. My skin did get a little dry and flaky, but finding a good moisturizer really helped that. I quit using Atralin for about a week after getting really sick, and I did break out with some whiteheads once I started applying it again. Those went away pretty quickly, though. This stuff is AMAZING. I look forward to using it every night, and I don't get upset when I look in the mirror anymore! Definitely recommend this! I love it!!"

For Acne "I have been using Atralin for a month now. Though most users have seen significant improvement within 12 months, I've seen my face improved within the first week. I've always had mild to moderate acne since I was 12 for the past 20 years and had never thought of going to the dermatologist until a month ago when my esthetician tried to introduce Retin-A/Treninoid to me during a facial. My face did not have the initial breakout like most people and only a little peeling that lasted for a week, but of course, that was resolved with exfoliating my face. Though I still have some acne, my dermatologist saw me today and said that they will go away with time and not leave a scar. Since the first week, I have noticed the smoothness of my skin."

For Acne "Stick it out. How long? 3-4 months is the magic number! It takes 3-4 months to see any improvement. Up until then, expect more acne, dryness, peeling. However, the results are worth it. Good luck!"
