I was very skeptical to use this cream as I have been on every retinoid cream out there with minimal success. I was recently prescribed this cream to treat adult acne (due to hormonal issues) along with a 2 month round of doxy. Prior to using the cream and antibiotics, I was already taking spirinolactone and a low estrogen birth control for acne treatment. I have been using the cream for approx...
I began taking the Veltin gel about 3 months ago and have never been so happy with the results. Even though the side effects were awful in the beginning, it was well worth the wait. I am still taking gut medicine with the gel now, and plan on using it until my skin fully clears. I don't get any bad side effects now, but they were bad the first month I was using the gel. I use a gentle face wash, C...

My acne was diagnosed by a dermatologist and he gave me samples to use on inside of my thighs. I had severe redness and worsening of the skin along with severe itching and abdominal cramping. Now my skin looks worse and thanks to webmd I learned about the unexplained stomach cramping I've been having.

It gave me a rash on both my cheeks, leaving my skin red, blotchy, itchy, peeling, and scabbed.

I have only been on the treatment for a week now. The peeling on my face is awful. I am extremely compliant, but I tend to be impatient. Currently, I am very frustrated with veltin, but hopefully things will get better

It took a while (about 3 months) for me to start seeing consistent, good results. Now that I've been using Veltin for 4 months, my skin looks better than it has in years (I still get the occasional small blemish and dry/red skin that is common with many topical acne treatments). My skin is also softer than it has ever been. If you have patience, this is a great product to try.
