For Acne "I recently started using Acanya and so far I am very pleased. My skin is almost completely cleared up after only 4 DAYS! It does itch a LITTLE when you first apply it, but as soon as it dries and soaks into the skin, it's fine. I recommend trying this product."

For Acne "This cream worked really good and started clearing my face in a week or two. But now, anytime I go outside and have ANY sun contact, my face burns, gets blotchy and looks swollen. I hate it, I have to stay inside all day if I apply it."

For Acne "I have never had bad skin - I can count on two hands how many total pimples I have had in my life (32 years old.) I am now pregnant with my second child and my complexion has gone crazy. My forehead has broken out horribly bad. My dermatologist got me started on this and I have already noticed a difference in less than a week. They are not all gone, but they are getting smaller and no new breakouts. I can't wait for a few more weeks to see if it is all gone."

For Acne "I've always been hesitant to use acne medication in the morning because I felt like it would do nothing for me. Also I have to wear makeup before I leave the house so the only thing I usually have underneath my foundation is a moisturizer. I've added Acanya to my regime for the past week or so and my face has improved almost instantly. My pores look smaller and I haven't gotten any new bumps and the ones I already have are going away. I say stick to this product even if you don't see improvements at first! Hopefully I'll see more improvements"

For Acne "Iv'e struggled with acne for years now.Once I started using Acanya, Ziana, and Solodyn, I can see a huge difference with my face . I had really bad acne and you could clearly tell it was there. I tried everything you could possibly think of and so far these products are the only ones that have been helpful. I would recommend seeing a dermatoligist if you have bad acne, they will most likely give you these products.Just wanted to share my experience, hope you find help with it."

For Acne "I am a 23 y/o female and have had moderate acne since I was a teenager. I went to the dermatologist about 3 weeks ago and she prescribed me Acanya for the morning, Ziana at night, and Minocycline twice a day. I can say I see a huge difference in my acne, I have had no new pimples since starting this treatment, and my acne marks are fading. My only issue is that the creams (mostly the Acanya) make my face red and burn very badly for an hour or so after applying, but that goes away. My lips are very dry and cracked as well. I do use a moisturizer but I'm liberal with it because my face gets very oily."

For Acne "My skin naturally is not that oily, and I was put on Acanya by my dermatologist. It was not only thick and white, but it dried out my skin very badly. It did somewhat help my acne, but it left my skin with bad marks, and dry to the point where I could not move it without pain. I did not like this medicine. I am off of it now and on a much better one that nourishes my skin as well as treats the acne. Acanya was just not for me."

For Acne "awful product. did not do anything it was supposed to. I have very very mild acne. I wouldn't even call it acne, just pimples. and everytime I have tried to use acanya it hasn't helped with any pimples and just left my face red and burned the next day. This redness stays for at least 4 days. It's so embarrassing and not worth it for a product that just makes your pimples MORE obvious because of HUGE red spots. awful product. throwing it in the garbage so I never have the idea of using it again."

For Acne "I'm 24 and have been using Acanya since I was 18. I remember noticing a difference within the first few days and massive improvement within a few weeks-1 month? Don't really remember, however, this product has remained relatively effective for 6 years for me. Skin is 90% clear other than cysts when I am highly stressed or due to hormones :/ This medication only gets 9/10 because I still get blackheads and cysts occationally and it's very expensive"

For Acne "Thank God i read the reviews before applying this gel, I was planning to apply it all over my face just like my dermatologist suggested but after reading about the possible effects I decided to be cautious and apply the gel on one spot only, Acanya gel basically burned my skin,I have a red patch and it looks irritated, I will not use this anymore, I rather wait for the pimples to heal than burn my skin with this gel I've been triying apple cider vinegar as a toner at nighttime to balance the PH of the skin and control the excess oiliness and I can see an improvement, mix half distilled water half ACV"

For Acne "Would not recommend this. I was recently proscribed by my dermatologist by using it every evening. I used it once and the next day my entirw face was red and itchy. I heard that the irritated skin lasts for a few days. Not only does it barely help my acne condition but its embarrassing and ridiculous to have to walk around with my face completely red."

For Acne "I was breaking out badly on the sides of my cheeks, then I couldn't take it anymore so I went to the dermo and they prescribed me Acanya. After 2 weeks I noticed a difference for sure. The big cysts I would get or just all these pimples I got in 1 spot started fading away instantly. It is take time, I had to pop some and then put the cream on. It's been 3 months so far and no breakouts or acne whatsoever. I just use cetaphil and that medication and done. (:"

For Acne "I'm 16 & have struggled w/ mild acne since age12. However, my sister who is 17 has struggled with severe acne since she was 14. She recently saw a dermatologist and he prescribed her Acanya in the morning & Atralin at night. I noticed an amazing difference in her skin within 3 months. She was more confident & seemed to glow...literally! Acanya actually makes your skin look brighter & healthier. Like I said, I also suffer w/ acne. Although mine is mild, I tend to scratch/pick at it when I am nervous or stressed causing it to inflame & become much worse than it should be. This made me want to try it, so I got a few samples, an began to see incredible results within just 1 week! This product is truly a life saver!"

For Acne "This product is amazing! I have gone through one bottle and am on to my second. It stings a little at first but then it goes away. My skin is the clearest its ever been. I have tried everything from homemade remedies to high-end expensive products and NOTHING has worked for me the way Acanya has."

For Acne "I have been using Acanya for a while now because of my mild acne, I stopped using it for a few weeks because my skin was really clear. Now I've been back on it my skin is horrid, every time I put it on I get burns on my face almost like sun burns. It worked really well in the beginning but now all it's doing is burning my skin and it's terrible."

For Acne "I have been using Acanya for only a short time. Less than a week and I see a huge difference in my skin. My doctor told me that it wouldn't be perfect but I can live with that. My pores have decreased and I have not developed a new pimple since beginning treatment"

For Acne "My dermatologist recommended Acanya and Retin A but I decided not to use Retin A because of the side effects, so I just use Acanya once every morning and I love it. It truly works. I recommend this to anyone to try it, everyone reacts differently."

For Acne "I've had acne since I was 12 and I'm 15 now. my acne is EVERYWHERE and its red, huge and very painful. When I decided to see a dermatologist she prescribed Aczone to apply morning an night after washing my face with CeraVe facewash. I saw amazing results! After my second visit, my dermatologists prescribed Acanya to apply in the morning and and continue applying Aczone at night. ... My face immediately got even worse than it was before. Right now I feel so depressed. Every time anyone talks to me all they see are the huge zits on my face. Everyone just keeps telling me home remedies to use and NOTHING works."

For Acne "Acanya worked AMAZINGLY on me for two years. I had moderate acne around my mouth, chin, and all over my forehead. Acanya started working immediately (never even got the initial breakout) and within 2-3 months, my skin was completely clear. People were actually complimenting me on my complexion! However, after two years, Acanya was no longer effective. My skin is not nearly as bad as it used to be as a teenager (I'm 23 now), but I still get breakouts on my forehead and chin when I'm about to start my period. Since Acanya no longer works, my dermatologist has recently prescribed me Epiduo, which is benzoyl peroxide and adapalene. Fingers crossed that Epiduo works as well as Acanya did!"

For Acne "I have been using Acanya, in the morning and Retin-A, at night. It has helped my skin, but not cleared it. I don't think Acanya is effective on my skin. It's been 2 months."
