Acnevir Acne & Redness Relief Gel - 0.75 oz

For years I used Clearasil's Adult Care (sulfur + resorcinol, no benzoyl peroxide) to keep my breakouts under control. I have found it to be more effective than anything else. Unfortunately, after 10+ years of using that product, my skin began to have a bad reaction to it. It still keeps the acne under control, but now, for some reason, it gives me an itchy, eczema-like rash. So I decided to try the Acnevir because it has the same active ingredients as the Clearasil (although Clearasil does not have salicylic acid in it). I've been using it for several weeks now.Pros: 1)It's almost odorless, unlike the Clearasil, which has a more noticeable sulfur smell. 2) It's clear, unlike Clearasil which has a tint that can look really orange on my fair skin. 3) It does not irritate my skin in any way.Con: It just does not work as well as the Clearasil Adult Care. It's not bad; it helps a little, but if you have less sensitive skin, and you don't mind Clearsil Adult Care's odd color and odor, I would recommend using that instead.Overall, Acnevir is okay. I will probably try a couple of other products, and if I don't find something I like better, I will come back to Acnevir as it is an acceptable alternative to the Clearasil.

I get so frustrated with deep, painful adult acne. I've tried creams and medicine and everything short of the dermatologist (I'm cheap and I don't need the bill). I use Acnevir everyday after washing my face, as a toner, and then follow up with moisturizer, and it has 100% totally cleared up my face. My husband uses it on his back and it has helped there too. It's primary mode of effectiveness has to do with it's ingredients being on the acidic side of the pH scale, which is healthy for skin and acts to pH balance skin after cleansing. It also inhibits bacteria growth that clogs pores. This stuff works on acne in all its stages...

My son has used this for a couple of weeks, and it does seem to reduce the redness of acne. He has breakouts and periods where his face is pretty clear, so I'm not certain if it's the Acnevir or just a period in which his skin is clear anyway. I suspect it's the Acnevir, and he thinks so, too. He's continuing to use it twice daily and is pretty happy with it.

Very good product. It helps aleviate all rosea/acne on my forehead as long as I use it once a day after a shower and rub it into my skin thoroughly. I've been using this for about a year and wouldn't do without it. I can go a couple days without using this before the symptoms return but I just use this consistantly every night to prevent that from happening. One tube will last a couple months if you're conservative. I used to use a sulphur only cream but switched to this since it has Salicylic Acid which helps prevent pimples as well as redness.

first of all, super fast and excellent service from the shipperthis product itself is ok, it seems to reduce redness and helps reduce the duration of a pimple a tiny bit. I didn't find it super fabulous though.

I have menstral and stress acne. This worked for the first few weeks then not at all. Last time I used this it broke me out bad. Glad I didn't spend alot on this

It keeps the monster zits from really forming a white head so they get more cystic looking. I think it does keep them from coming somewhat. Nothing really working for me that well.

Good
