    Diacneal is my HG,- I've had acne since I was 13 and this is the thing that cleared me up, being used with Dalacin. I have picture-perfect skin now, only 3 months after i've started using it, and I...

    Many people love this product, but sadly it was *the most disastrous* product I have ever tried. For some people, it works beautifully. But I would like to add that if you don't have experiences of...

    Oh why did I change from a good thing?? This did not work for me at all. Although I didn't get irritated at all, it makes me break out worse, not only in acne but little tiny bumps like milia. ...

    My opinion on this one has two sides: First, I think if you have mild acne, this stuff is awesome!! It helps fade my scars quicker and helps prevent ones that I can feel are "coming to the...

    Yeah, can't say I love this. I'm now using Tazorac and A-Ret which I like much better. I used this for several months and though my skin tolerated it well, it didn't improve a whole lot--in fact,...

    I guess I'm in the minority here. I think my problem is that the formula contains silicones in it. I used this 2 times a week for about 6 weeks and my skin just got worse and worse. Little bumps...
