Meant to treat mild to moderate acne in teens, Aczone claims that you can use it and eliminate your problems. They claim that this gel uses a 5% concentration of dapsone to fight yoru acne at the source and give you gorgeous skin. Interestingly enough however, with all of their before and after pictures, after 12 weeks, every single user still had a fair amount of acne.

History of Aczone

Aczone is a prescription acne medication approved for sale by the FDA. It has been used for several different things, and it is currently produced by Allergan. The last study we found scheduled to go on was terminated due to lack of enrollment.

Benefits

This formula doesn’t really fight acne the way we would like it to quite frankly speaking. It does fight acne. But after 12 weeks, mild to moderate acne is barely touched. Maybe 1/4 of the zits generally seem to disappear, and we have to wonder how long it is supposed to take to make significant differences or even get rid of the acne all together.

Possible Side Effects

Possible side effects of Aczone include redness, feeling of warmth, irritation, itching, peeling, redness, hyperpigmentation, increased sun sensitivity, stinging, and dermatitis.

Conclusion

We would not recommend using Aczone. It does not promote any kind of benefits, at least not in the way one might expect when getting a prescription and paying that much. The results are relatively minor, and they come with a number of possible side effects. We would definitely recommend finding something else.
