For Acne "I have had acne since I was 9, I am now 19. I've literally tried every acne treatment out there. I had severe breakouts around the nose and T area. I used to be on Duac, an antibiotic, and Differin, then I just dropped down to Duac because I didn't like the other two. The Duac worked better than any other treatment that I tried, so I thought that was the best it was going to get. But I switched dermatologists just because my doctor was booked. The new one put me on Atralin at night and Duac in the morning. My skin started clearing up immediately. I've been using it for 3 months now, and the only time my skin broke out is when I skipped 2 weeks of using it. It is pricey, but ask your doctor about the discount card."

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 "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 "I am a 15-year-old female experiencing acne from puberty. I was prescribed the medication by my dermatologist. I am also using Acanya in the morning with Neutrogena SPF. In addition, I am moisturizing with Cetaphil. At first, I noticed the treatment was working well besides mild stinging and redness, but after three weeks, I am now having an increase in whiteheads in areas I have never had any problems with, like my cheeks and chin. The acne seems to be small fine bumps that are deep under my skin - I believe these are called closed comedones. Hopefully, this is just the initial breakout."

For Acne "I'm 19 and had a sudden breakout. I went to the dermatologist and got prescribed this. I follow the instructions every night. Some will go away, and some will come back. It's very difficult. I don't know what's going to pop up the next day. I talked to my dermatologist the other day and told him what I was going through, and he said I might need something stronger."

For Acne "Atralin really helps clear up my skin, but my skin is still not porcelain smooth. I still have tiny, tiny bumps, but it's way better than it was before. I also used Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control Power-Cream Scrub, and I love how the two work. You just have to give it time, and right now, I think I'm almost over the 'it gets worse before it gets better' phase."

For Acne "Atralin has been fine and has cleared up my acne and made my skin clearer and smoother. I am 38. But one thing I noticed, since using the product, is that if I do get an occasional breakout, it is hard to heal, scabs a lot, and then leaves a small pockmark when healed."

For Acne "Honestly, it seemed to make my face appear shiny/greasy, and though it cleared up my moderate acne slightly, it did not make the redness/possible scarring areas go away on my cheeks, as well as the excessive pimples on my forehead. Talking to my doctor soon about a possible better acne solution. Didn't work for me, but hope it worked for everyone else!"

For Photoaging of the Skin "I have tried a variety of Retin-A creams and gels, which caused my skin to be overly sensitive. Atralin has not caused any skin sensitivity and is working great."

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!"
