    I tried everything including antibiotics, home remedies, facials. Nothing was helping my acne. Atralin is the only thing that helped my stubborn acne. However, it takes 3 months for it to show full results. And first few weeks my face was very red , pealing and itchy. I highly recommend it for acne. Stick with it

    Atralin made my skin worse. I had moderate acne prior and now I have severe acne. It is hard to look in the mirror and my skin is always burning. Do not use this product unless you're willing to risk it.

    I suffered from mild acne all my life and this stuff works wonders! My acne tends to live under my skin and within a week the bumps disappeared, leaving me with the smoothest skin. It is a bit drying so I apply a face oil on top, docs orders, which doesn't alter the drugs effectiveness.

    I started getting acne as an adult at about age 28. I tried both over the counter and prescription medications to no avial. I tried Atralin several years ago and it was the ONLY thing that worked for me. I suffer from nodular acne which is near impossible to clear.
