"I used the samples my doctor gave me for oily skin. It smelled terrible, but it really worked for my oily skin! I got the prescription and, guess what... it smells great and DOESN'T WORK! I brought it to my doctor and she compared the labels and they matched up. I thought maybe it was a fluke, so I got the medicine again and same thing... good smell, but doesn't work at all. It was so depressing because I had finally found something that controlled my oil, but I can't ask for a lifetime of samples! At $50 a pop (with insurance), I'm not going to keep trying it."

"Very alarming symptoms. Joints in hands and big toes began hurting after using two weeks. I am talking constant pain. This medication causes lupus! I am so scared, I’ve stopped using it. This Rx is not worth the health risks. I am very upset with my dermatologist. I hope my joint pain goes away! I am most sickened by this."

"Made my son’s chin acne 100 x worse. Chin was clear but started this cleanser as a preventative to football chin strap acne but broke him out with huge painful pimples. I would not recommend this. Should have just stuck with a basic cleanser like vanicream and clindy topical solution."

"It smells terrible,so I only used it at night when I showered. I gave it 2 months and it didn't help at all! I guess it works for some, and not for others."

"This medication was originally prescribed to use for for boils under my armpits. It worked wonders for my boils so I started to use it as a wash for my face. It love how it cleared up my face and my face feels smooth."
