My acne cleared within a week! I used Clean and Clear cleanser along with it. Published: May 30, 2008 ::

Atralin is much better than Retin A Micro for me. Just as effective in treating my moderate cystic acne without the extreme dryness, redness and peeling. Published: December 28, 2008 ::

This gel is great. My skin is looking so much mor clearer after only a week of treatment. It caused a little peeling around my mouth and chin areas but that I can live with temporarily. Overall, best that my doctor has had me try so far! Published: October 23, 2008 ::

I have struggled with moderate acne for about 9 years now and Atralin has been the least irritating medication I have used. I started out using this medication every third night for about a month and then went to every other night, I am currently using a small pea sized amount every night and although I have experienced an initial increase in breakouts I am more satisfied with the "side-effects" of this medication than any other I have tried and I have tried TONS over the years short of Accutane. (Too scared to use that)! I use the Atralin topical each night after washing with Cetaphil for normal/oily skin. I then follow with Cetaphil moisturizer and the Atralin. So far even though I am breaking out I am super impressed as the breakouts heal quickly and I am excited to see how it will end up in about 6 more weeks! Published: April 28, 2009 ::

I'm using it in conjunction w/Solodyn and Spironolactone. The cleanser I use is Cetaphil. On 10/18 I began using Atralin Gel 0.05% and have used it for 20 days. I have cystic acne and I've seen improvement. It hasn't caused me to have an initial breakout or made my skin peel or flake. Atralin is helping to dry up and shrink the cysts.

I have used this medication each night for about 6 weeks. It has helped to clear up my skin but I am peeling horribly around my chin and mouth. I tried mixing it with moisturizer but it hasn't helped so far. Other than this the medicine has been effective in clearing up the skin but has caused drying and peeling.

I am happy to report that the acne I've been troubled with has started clearing up. I am using this medication in conjunction with Duac topical gel, and I am so glad that my acne is starting to clear up. Nice to find products that work! Published: February 04, 2009 ::
