For Acne "Only reason I am sharing this experience is because I've literally tried everything and anything you can imagine to get my skin clear. I have a stressful job, which doesn't help either. I tried spironolactone, which made my face even worse, and have tried every prescription face cream there is. I have very sensitive skin that is sensitive to hormonal changes. I went to the derm to get a cortisone shot for a huge cyst and was not planning on going on a new prescription cream until she recommended Aczone. At first, I said no and accepted the fact that my skin was never going to be where I wanted it to be, but she gave me a sample to try before buying, just in case. I was bored one night and decided to start trying it - what else do I have to lose? After 3-4 weeks of Aczone, this changed my skin. I haven't had a prescription cream work this well, and I am almost scared to post this to jinx it - but if you've tried everything and just given up, please try this."

For Acne "I’m a 21-year-old female that started dealing with cystic acne mostly on my forehead out of nowhere. I never had problems with acne during puberty, so it was extremely unordinary. I was prescribed Aczone, and BAM! Within a WEEK, my acne seemed to have disappeared. I have now been clear for a year. I will break out here and there, but it is only one or two. When that happens, I put extra Aczone on as a spot treatment, and it seems to stop it in its tracks. I’ve continued daily use for a year. I am scared to stop because I do not want my acne to come back. I use a tiny bit each day on my forehead. This is a MIRACLE product, but the only downside is the price. BEYOND expensive. Thankfully, my insurance covered the majority of the cost, but it was still about $80!!! I have been using the same container for about a year and still have some left, so there is a bunch of product in there. If you are a post-puberty woman, I would highly recommend this product."

For Acne "I'm a 56-year-old male, and I've had adult acne and/or acne rosacea for the last 20 years. I tried everything, including Metrogel, Soolantra, Finacea, and various antibiotics. Finacea worked a little bit, but I still got some inflamed bumps. Then I tried Aczone-within 4 days, it seemed to be working, and within a couple of weeks, I no longer woke up in the morning with new painful bumps forming. I use a very small amount of the 7.5 strength twice a day, and it's been a complete game changer. I'm finally happy with my complexion. It's about time!"

For Acne "I have tried every recommended acne product, whether it be topical or tablets, and this is the only thing that has worked incredibly well for me. I was prescribed this in August 2018, along with Spironolactone (commonly used for high blood pressure but works to kill acne by slowing down oil production), and my skin is perfect right now. I'm not going to lie, it was a little rough in the beginning. 1-2 months in, I was getting quite a few pimples, many flare-ups randomly. But it went by so fast. I don't discourage this product because of that. I went from not wanting to go out of the house most of the time to leaving with no makeup on every day, you need to try this! The only negative thing is that the Aczone is expensive. My insurance doesn't cover it, but it's so worth it to me. Hope this helps!"

For Acne "I'm 40 years old and have battled with acne on and off since I was a teenager. Have tried everything from natural remedies to Proactiv, benzoyl peroxide, etc., and they seemed to work for a short time. For the last year, I started having cystic acne on my jawline that seemed to be getting worse, and after going to a new dermatologist, she prescribed Aczone. After 3 weeks and almost giving up, I can finally say that I have not had one pimple. I would have one almost every other day! You do have to be patient as the current pimples I had seemed to take forever to heal and fade, I can say that this is working for me now. I have some scarring to deal with, but my face will now have a chance to start healing without any new breakouts. Give it a try!"

For Acne "After living on doxycycline for 2 years, finally found a winning combo for my perimenopausal hormone/stress-induced severe cystic acne! Every time I got off doxycycline, my face worsened within 2 months (scarred and inflamed) than when I started. Would take 3 months of being back on the antibiotic, along with the Retin-A/hyperpigmentation combo cream that my derm helped develop before scarring became less noticeable. Doxycycline worked well (compared to clindamycin/minocycline/OTC/Proactiv system and all salicylic acid, etc.); but, didn't want to live on antibiotics. After 3 months, changed to Bactrim and Aczone. Within 2 months, as if I never had acne at all. No scars. Aczone and MD's cream only for the last month. No cysts or pimples. Clear skin!!"

For Acne "I was prescribed Aczone for hormonal adult acne. The first time I tried it, I was instructed to use it once daily in the morning and at night to apply Retin A cream. It caused my face to get extremely oily and did not seem to do anything to help the acne. So I stopped taking it for over two years, finding oral antibiotics to be the only solution. However, recently my dermatologist suggested I try Aczone again. I increased to twice daily, once in the morning and once at night. I saw results within a day, and my face had almost completely cleared by the end of the week. I still use the Retin A cream at night in addition to the Aczone, and it seems to be my new acne solution. I think using it twice a day was a must for me."

For Acne "I've been using this product for about 3 weeks. My acne is really bad due to hormone issues, so I was worried that no medications would help until we finally got my hormones balanced. Well, I began using Aczone, and I have, as well as others, noticed a wonderful improvement. I haven't had issues with dry skin with it. I hope it continues to work."

For Acne "I'm 53 years old and have suffered with cystic acne since my teens. Remember Clearasil? Harsh. Minocycline was a godsend in my 30s, but couldn't take it while being pregnant. Now, I get occasional acne flare-ups. I tried clindamycin, it was okay. I just started Aczone, and it seems to be putting the acne to rest. My copay was also $100. So, I went to the Aczone website, and you supposedly get discounted up to $250 if you have commercial insurance. Fill out your info and get a discount card online."

For Acne "I am 36 and in the past year began getting cystic acne on my chin, cheeks, and temples. The cysts were incredibly red, itchy, and painful. They never came to a head and seemed to never fully heal. Because they wouldn't heal, I would pick at them. Last week, I broke out with 17 at once. I was very embarrassed, got fed up, and saw a dermatologist. He prescribed Doxycycline and Aczone 2x per day. Amazing results in less than a week! My 'wounds' are all dried up, and I'm dealing with moderate peeling now. It seems as though Aczone immediately remedied the redness. I only woke up with one new pimple, but it healed in 1 day."

For Acne "I've fought cystic acne since I was 11 years old. My face, back, chest, neck, and inner thighs. This medicine was no more helpful than the million other topical meds I've used. The commercials I see for acne products just kill me on TV. They show someone with one little pimple usually crying about how devastated they are about their skin. Show someone like me and others with REAL problem acne! I'm 50 years old and still fighting it. I have taken every oral med on the market, used every soap and cream known to man with minimal results."

For Acne "Over the past year, my skin has broken out so bad it left dark spots and looks horrible. My face, chest, and back, I'm 32, no longer a teen, so this was unusual. I finally went to see a dermatologist, he examined my skin and prescribed Ziana gel, Aczone, and Doryx (oral antibiotic). It's been two weeks since using all three, and my skin has done a 360. My skin feels like a baby's bottom and hasn't been this clear since I was on birth control. I have stopped taking the Doryx, as taking antibiotics for a long period of time kills good and bad bacteria. My daily facial routine: wash with Dove sensitive skin soap, Aczone & Palmer fragrance-free cocoa butter lotion in the morning, and Ziana gel at night. I would pay the $25 for Aczone as it works for me."

For Acne "I absolutely LOVE Aczone. I'm only 12, almost 13, but I started getting somewhat severe acne after I turned 11. The first thing I tried was Proactiv, which didn't work, then I tried Neutrogena, which also didn't work, and I have also used about 6 other topical treatments that barely worked. In January 2012, I finally went to a dermatologist for help, and he had me try Epiduo with some acne antibiotic, and it worked pretty well for two months, but then I started getting bad breakouts again. When I went back to the dermatologist, he said I may have a different type of bacteria in my acne, so he said Aczone may be better for me, and a different antibiotic. I've been using Aczone and the antibiotic for almost a month, and my face is almost clear!"

For Acne "I started using Aczone about 2 weeks ago. My derm added this to my other prescriptions (prescription benzoyl peroxide wash 5% and adapalene gel). I have been seeing a dermatologist since I was a sophomore in high school, and I am 25 years old now with acne as bad as a high schooler. I've used so many prescriptions and been put on antibiotics, and nothing has changed. So my derm suggested I try Aczone. This has made my face absolutely terrible with breakouts. I called my dermatologist and spoke to the nurse, who said this is normal and it will get worse before it gets better. Has anyone else had this experience using Aczone? And for anyone whose insurance did not cover this, just go to their website. I paid about 35 dollars."

For Acne "I just wanted to share that Aczone really works. I have suffered with acne since my teen years till now (I'm 39 years young). I have tried everything. I went to my doctor on 09/05/2013, and he gave me some samples to try, and I did. I'm in love with this. It is awesome. I really can see results, the zits, pimples, or whatever you want to call them are starting to go away. Good luck to you all as you each search for solutions to your skin. This really works."

For Acne "I started getting breakouts when I first started my menstrual cycle (age 13), and it got progressively worse. I'm about to be 16 and really have tried so many things for my skin problems. I tried Aczone, and it literally had an overnight effect. In the morning, my bumps were less noticeable, and my face felt smoother. It takes time, but it really works. Patience is a virtue."

For Acne "Growing up, I never had acne. It wasn’t until I turned 30 that all of a sudden my face started breaking out all over my cheeks, chin, and jawline. Hopeless, I went to a dermatologist who prescribed me Aczone 5% to be applied nightly along with a daily face wash and morning moisturizer. I’ve been on this regimen for 1 month, and after using it every day without skipping, my face is clean and completely clear! I will say, however, that you NEED to be patient. After the second week, I noticed a heavier breakout in odd places, but my doctor told me that this would happen, so I stuck it out. Most acne medications will not provide you with instant results as they need to remove the junk from your skin first. This is why you will break out around the second or third week. It may seem bad, but trust me, it just means it’s working! By the time the second week was over, I was left with some scarring, but continuing on with this product even diminished those as well!"

For Acne "I got a bad bout of the flu in March and had to go on 10 days of antibiotics. My face started breaking out the worst it ever had in 7 years. After getting a cystic pimple every day for 10 days, I went to the dermatologist. She prescribed Aczone and Epiduo. I also got 3 injections to the cheeks. I have been applying the medicine for 4 days now. My face has calmed considerably in these few days and is actually smooth. I see some pimples coming up on my cheeks where I was breaking out before, but instead of them becoming cystic-hard and painful, they come up as small whiteheads, and after showering, I just wipe them away. My face is dry, but I don't mind as I have oily skin. Could be too soon to tell, but I have seen a difference in 4 days."

For Acne "I used to cry from the pain caused by acne pimples and the low self-esteem that comes with disfigured skin until I saw an Aczone commercial. I couldn't believe the results, by week 12, it cleared my skin. For the first time, I could touch my face. I used Cetaphil foam face wash and moisturizer as well for oily skin. It works, people, try it and good luck."

For Acne "I am a 28-year-old female, and I have struggled with acne for as long as I can remember. I get several cysts a few times a month, which always seem to scar. After discussing this with a new doctor, I was prescribed Aczone. I have tried almost every other cream on the market. I use Aczone every night after washing my face. Within the first few weeks, my acne got worse. My doctor did warn me of this. She told me to not give up and to give it 3 months minimum. By the end of the first month, my skin had improved significantly. I have used Aczone for 5 months now, and I have not had a single cyst or breakout. The medication is a bit pricey, so I recommend getting a coupon. I highly recommend it to any female with hormonal cystic acne. Great product."

For Acne "I am 13 years old, and I have acne pretty bad. My mom was starting to get worried, so she took me to the dermatologist. She gave me Aczone and some other gel. I have used it for about two weeks every morning and night. This is amazing! I never thought anything could help me, but this really did! I love it!"

For Acne "The Aczone acne drug has done an amazing job with my stubborn acne. I have battled acne for most of my adult life. If you name it, I have tried it. The only thing that worked was Accutane. It completely cleared up my acne, and then, after 2 years, it came back largely due to me starting to get my hormones regulated by taking testosterone due to low levels. The dermatologist suggested Aczone and spironolactone. Both drugs have done amazing things for my skin. Aczone works fast, too. I love the product. My skin has some dark scarring, but each day it has gotten better, and it's kept my acne to a minimum. Customer for life. Try it. It really works."

For Acne "Have been using Aczone for 3 days. After struggling with acne all over my jawline, it is working great. I am also using Differin at night and a very strong prescription vitamin also, which I like the idea of since it is not an antibiotic and it is natural. Never give up. There is always an alternate method."

For Acne "I am a male in his late twenties and have struggled with mild acne for over 15 years. I have used benzo peroxide, exfoliants, tea tree oil, a low GI diet, no skin touching, and many other tools without consistent success. I have been using Aczone for 10 days and have had amazing results. I have had very few new spots appear on my face, and when they do, they only last for 2-3 days. My pores felt clogged after application the first few days but have adjusted to the texture. The anti-inflammatory properties really reduced the redness in my face and give me a nice, even tone. Aczone has clearly made an impact on me having clear skin. I’ll follow up with status updates as my skin progresses."

For Acne "I am 20 years old. About a year ago I started breaking out like crazy. Being that I had never experienced having acne before, I was EXTREMELY self-conscious. I have tried everything to heal my acne: monthly microdermabrasions, peels, IPL (intense pulsed light), Skinceutical products, prescriptions (clindamycin wipes and azelaic acid cream), but nothing could keep my acne away for more than a day or two. I tried Aczone. It has changed my life. In one week I had barely any acne left. My worst breakouts were always jawline cysts. They still try to pop up, but the Aczone calms them down until they go away. Try it!"
