"started using veltin in august.  started seeing results (less cystic breakouts), but didn&#039;t see consistent results until december.  all i can say is stick with it!  i now regularly go 2-3 weeks without any breakouts, 100% clear.  prior to veltin, breakouts happened every 1-2 days.  

major con is it dries out skin (not just where it just feels dry, but actual peeling).  the dry skin rubs off in the shower.  pro is since it is a retinoid product, new skin feels and looks healthier."
