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 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'm 20 years old and have mild to moderate breakouts that I've tried to fix with Epiduo and other topical creams. None of these creams seem to make a difference in my acne. I started using Atralin and Acanya about 2 weeks ago. At first, my skin broke out horribly, as I was told it would, the initial breakout period was pretty bad. I'm just about 2 weeks into using both of these products, and my face is already clearing! My skin feels different, and my blackheads and chin acne have started to disappear. My skin is a little sensitive and dry, but the Cerave moisturizer and wash that my dermatologist recommended definitely help. I'm very happy with the results from this product so far."

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!"
