User Reviews for erythromycin topical

Iâ??ve been using it for a little more than a month now and I havenâ??t seen good enough results. When I put it on acne thatâ??s starting to appear it does a good job at clearing it in 3 nights or so. But with acne that has been there for a few days, I found that it takes a week. Iâ??ve definitely tried more effective treatments but I would recommend this to anyone who doesnâ??t suffer from severe/excessive acne.

Works wonders and actually works in combination of benzoyl peroxide and retin A. My routine is wash face with simple cleanser use erythromycin let dry put benzoyl peroxide wait ten minutes then simple face lotion then later at night put erythromycin let dry then use retin A even makes a difference use this regimen every other day

love this stuff,works for my acne rocasia,wish they didnt discontinue this product

I have had good and bad regimes, and this is to only use after soap and water, but I feel that it only gives me blackheads, and it makes my face look worse than it actually is, I've used it for 3 weeks and very little improvement has been made but I'm holding my breath and waiting to see if it ends up doing any good, but for now, it feels the same and even sometimes it peels off, the actual gel after it's dried peels. goodluck :)

I'm in my second week and i hate it. when i apply it my eyes water, kinda like when you get around menthol. it normally itches for the first couple of minutes. when it dries it flakes and peels like glue does after it has dried on your skin. doc says this is normal......

I wanted a medication that would be safe in the event of pregnancy, so my dr pulled me off clindamycen gel and azelaic acid topicals and gave me the erythromycen topical. Hated it! Worse breakouts and terrible flaking peeling skin - not even a moisturizer helped counteract it. Using nothing at all was better than this stuff.

i'm 36 with oily skin. do not have chronic acne, just here and there. i've tried salicilic acid, benzoil peroxide, and so on... they've all worked fine, but this gel formula which was prescribed by my dermatologist, worked for me the best.
