For Acne "Well, I'm just starting it, and so far it started working, but I now have acne on my head. I'm on 40 mg, and my acne is even spreading, but I use cream face wash, and it made me break out. It's only been two weeks, but it's bad right now."

For Acne "I am on my 3rd week of Claravis. I have one pimple that I picked, unfortunately, so it looks bad, but other than that, pretty clear skin! I was really dry around my nose, lips, and chin. I also was red all over my face, like rosacea, and swollen on my forehead between my eyes and on my chin...weird. But I started using Clinique Redness Solutions face wash, moisturizer, and SPF 15 base (all in one kit), and now the redness is almost gone, and my skin looks more normal. I also started using Clinique Mineral Makeup and love it! Great coverage and nice finish. I use Aquaphor at night for my lips and anywhere that is flaky in addition to the Clinique moisturizer. I just bought Murad Pomegranate Lip Treatment for day use."

For Acne "I've been on Claravis for 15 days today, and so far there is no improvement. After about 10 days of use, I broke out very badly. Everybody that's saying they've already improved after a week or two couldn't have had very bad acne to begin with. The doctor said that results won't start appearing at all until at least 3-4 weeks, but at this rate, I don't think I'll be seeing any soon. I have pretty severe acne and have ever since 7th grade (I'm a senior now). My side effects at this point are very dry skin - particularly the nose, mustache area, chin, and lips - I have slight muscle aches in my back and neck that I didn't have before, and I've been getting an abnormal amount of bloody noses since I started (at least twice a day)."

For Acne "This isn’t about the drug but about the packaging... THERE'S SO MUCH PACKAGING! I get it, I don’t want to be pregnant either, but damn, I think I got rid of an entire species by taking this drug for months."

For Acne "I'm 55 years old and have always had issues with acne. As I hit menopause, my acne became cystic. I tried antibiotics and creams, but nothing worked. My dermatologist finally put me on Claravis. Within a month, my skin started clearing up. The side effects I got are super dry skin, my face started peeling. I used to get acne on my scalp, face, chest, and back. It did affect my depression and anxiety. My blood work showed my triglycerides high, so I'm stuck at 30 mg so they won't get higher. At this point, I've been on it going on my 9th month, and I'm still going to be on it till October. Side effects aside from dry skin are my face peels, some body aches, I'm always tired, and I've had lots of hair loss. I use Jack Black's intense therapy lip balm for my lips so my lips don't crack. No bloody nose. I'm still purging a little, so I do get a few tiny pimples here and there. I'm hoping that will stop when I'm done."

For Acne "I'm on my second week of Claravis 20 mg, 29 years old. My first week was okay, until I got my period, and now I'm breaking out again. I always break out around my period. I hope it gets better. Maybe a birth control pill will help my acne, but I don't want to take any birth control pills."

For Acne "I normally had really good blood pressure. One week before starting Claravis, my bottom number was 66, one week after taking Claravis, my bottom blood pressure reading was 98. You are considered to have high blood pressure at 90. I can't believe it got so high so quick! I'm stopping taking it today! Not worth the risk of having a stroke. Also, really expensive medication."

For Acne "I struggled with really bad acne on my face and back during high school. I was put on Claravis during my 11th grade year. I experienced extremely dry, cracked lips and very dry hands. Getting pregnancy tests all the time was really annoying. But it did clear up my acne really well... but unfortunately, that only lasted about 2 years. Slowly but surely, my acne started to come back again. I just experienced one of the biggest acne breakouts I've had in a really long time. Not quite as bad as before, but it's getting really bad again. I realized that taking strong medicines that may claim to clear up acne but do no good for your body is not worth it. Acne can be treated with natural skin care methods and changes in diet."

For Acne "This medicine has a lot of pros and cons. The pro is that your skin will clear almost completely, and the con is that you will have dry lips and palms and joint pain. But I think it's a fair trade."
