| Pros: | It works on my acne, makes my skin look much better in general. |
| Cons: | None for me, other than I have to see a doctor every year to get it. When I started using it 10 years ago, I remember it being a little itchy, but that was it. |
| Bottom Line: | I have moderate cystic acne, and this is the only thing that has ever helped it. Occasionally, I have not used it, and the acne always comes back. I always try OTC meds before I give up and go back to it. |

| Pros: | Lightens redness(VERY fast),reduces
inflamation |
| Cons: | A little itchy at first |
| Bottom Line: | I think it's just totally awesome. All
around my hairline I started breaking out,
really bumpy, but with Evoclin and Finacea
It's pretty much gone. But if you have
seasonal wheat or grass allergies(like me),
it can be really itchy at first, 'cause
azelaic acid is found in wheat and barley. |

| Pros: | relieved redness, Cleared breakout, Lightened red scars |
| Cons: | Cant think of any |
| Bottom Line: | This stuff works. I was on accutane a few years ago which worked very well but i now break out again(not as bad though) Skinoren really helped without the dryness and irritation that other topicals gave me. Iv been told from my derm not to use it for longer than 6 months though which is a downer!! |

| Pros: | Gentle, VERY effective at getting rid of redness while it gets rid of acne and makes your skin at the same time look awesome. |
| Cons: | I honestly can't think of any...except maybe that it's a pain in the ass having to apply topicals...even though that doesn't really apply to Finacea... |
| Bottom Line: | If you need something to rid you of redness and acne this is a must...in conjunction with Benzaclin / Duac this stuff is amazing. In a weeks time you'll see absolute and significant results...but more importantly it makes your skin look new all the time...it's never dull and red...
I love Finacea...best product i've used thus far. |

| Pros: | Reduces spots and marks left from spots |
| Cons: | A bit of stinging a little dryness |
| Bottom Line: | I've been using AcneDerm (20% azelaic acid)cream for about 2 months ($15 NZD). Dermatologists use this not only for acne, but for the dark marks left behind on the skin, called post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This is what I've mainly been using the cream for. The good news for those out there who have these marks are that they naturally fade over time, although it can take many months. Azelaic acid helps fade the marks more quickly without bleaching the normal skin around them. I've found it really useful and am very pleased with the results. Other people on this forum haven't got on with it. The important things to remember about any acne medication, is 1.) give it a good run, any product usually takes weeks to work. 2.) if one thing doesn't work for you GO BACK TO YOUR DOCTOR!! There are loads of different products out there and people respond very differently to them, for no apparent reason, so you must persevere untill you find the thing that works for YOU. DON"T GIVE UP! |

| Pros: | No irritation, skin looks smooth, brown spots from previous acne are begining to fade. Safe to use while pregnant. |
| Cons: | Gave me a initial breakout |
| Bottom Line: | This med in my opinion works slower than a vitamin A based treatment. I noticed that it shrinks the pimples slowly. |
| Recommended: | Yes |

| Pros: | Works Great! |
| Cons: | Slight burning and itchy feeling with the first few dosages... |
| Bottom Line: | I would recomend this to anyone who suffers from adult acne. I am a 39 year old male and have tried everything, from OTC to prescriptions, and this works for me. I bought this from a European website which requires no prescription (Skinoren) to buy it, and with less than a week of usage, I am happy!
My red spots from previous breakouts are going, and what pimples/cysts I have do not remain like they use to.
Try it! |
