I started taking this drug over five years ago when I was seventeen and it has cleared up most of my acne (still had a few pimples here and there but they were very minimal). It works very well but can be harsh at times with dryness and itchiness. I remember the first two weeks it made my acne a little worse but then it got a lot better.

I used this medication for only 2 weeks. My skin became very dry and it was extremely painful. I had to go back to the dermatologist for a new medication.

I started using Differin 0.1% 7 months ago in conjunction with Benzaclin. I had cystic acne and tons of dark pigmented scars.

My daughter has been on this now for 11 weeks. We were told that her acne would get worse initially, and it has. Unfortunately, we are a week away form the "up to 12 weeks" mark, and everyday her face looks worse. And she's also taking Junel which shuold a help a little, also. Not sure what to try next. I think we've hit everything over the counter.
