My derm Has me on Veltin & Doryx (oral antibiotic)And Cere Ve Facial cleanser. At firstI thought my skin was gonna fall off. My Skin was peeling around my lips & nose. My face felt sun-burned. I went back to my derm & she said to go get hydra-cortizone (over-the-counter) & I put it on the areas that peeled & It really helped! She also said that I should take it every other day ...

I have been seeing results It really helps heal my acne & reduce bumps. Its really thick and Heavy but definately worth it. Keep taking it, the longer you use it the better!

This medication is lethal and should not be on anyone face or anywhere. Its very expensive way for the doctors to help the pharmacy make money. After 4 weeks my face nearly burned off. Breakouts got worse than when I began. Lots of itching, redness and Im dark. Burning so bad you cant wash your face and the end result for me is dark bloches in my face like the thing. And lots of inflamation in my ... Show Full Comment

I was given veltin gel due to severe acne. I hardly ever had acne in my teens but in my 40's it exploded. Like some of the other reviews, my face got extremely red, peeled most all the time, felt like a severe sunburn. The only moisturizer I could use on my face was pure Vaseline. but I realized the better I moisturized after I applied, the less it burned and peeled. I stuck with it because my f ...

I was given veltin gel due to severe acne. I hardly ever had acne in my teens but in my 40's it exploded. Like some of the other reviews, my face got extremely red, peeled most all the time, felt like a severe sunburn. The only moisturizer I could use on my face was pure Vaseline. but I realized the better I moisturized after I applied, the less it burned and peeled. I stuck with it because my face was awful with acne. After a couple of weeks it got where the burning and redness was not so bad. It's going to peel some no matter what because it is a heavy exfoliater besides antibiotic. But after a few weeks of getting used to it, I apply it at night, wait 30 to 45 min then do my moisterizer routine, then in the morning, I use a facial scrub (clinique 7 day) and do my normal moisturizing routine and my face has not looked this good in a long time. If you guys just stick with it, the burning and peeling do get better and it really works.

I can't really give a review about the effectiveness of veltin as I've only been using it about two weeks. But what I will say is that my face burns like crazy. It burns to wash my face after using it and when I wake up in the morning and wash my face it is very sore and extremely sensitive. Even applying moisturizer is painful. I was prescribed veltin for bedtime use and finacea for the morning b ... Show Full Comment

I can't really give a review about the effectiveness of veltin as I've only been using it about two weeks. But what I will say is that my face burns like crazy. It burns to wash my face after using it and when I wake up in the morning and wash my face it is very sore and extremely sensitive. Even applying moisturizer is painful. I was prescribed veltin for bedtime use and finacea for the morning but my face burns so bad after washing it that I can't even put the finacea on and that never burned my skin until I began using the veltin at night. Also, I've noticed my skin does look worse now but I was told by several that that is to be expected in the beginning. Overall not too excited about this medication but I've had acne for 12 years so I'm ready for something to work therefore, I will try and stick it out with this for a while longer. That is, as long as my skin can tolerate it. Hope this helps as far as what to expect.
