Anyone use Klaron lotion? - Acne Message Board

If so, how much do you apply every morning and do you use moisturizer as well?

I use Klaron and Retina Micro .1 %.

I used to use it for about a year, along with Differin (I stopped using my prescription topicals about a month ago). I was using the Klaron in the morning and Differin at night. I used maybe a dime sized amount; my derm told me I could apply it liberally. In the summer I was fine, but in the winter I still needed some sort of moisturizer over it.

Did it work for you? I was on Differin with Klaron and tetracycline for about a year and it worked beautifully. My skin was perfect and it seemed impossible to get a pimple. Then I dropped the tetracycline and everything came back in a horrible mess.

Now I'm on tetracycline again with Klaron and Retina Micro and it's better but it's not what it was. I tried to use the differin again but it wouldn't work. Meh.

What is it about Klaron that people love? Is it it's moisturizing effects? I have not used it, but am using Retin A micro...it's working but I'm dry. Can Klaron help?

Talking Shrubbery, that was actually the exact combination I was on; Klaron, Differin, and Tetracycline. It helped me quite a bit, but it definitely wasn't impossible for me to get a pimple.

I gradually stopped all my prescriptions about a month ago just because I was trying to give my skin a break and I wasn't sure if the effects were wearing off. Going of the medications hasn't had any negative effects for me. I think they helped get my skin under control, but once it calmed down it didn't matter whether I was on meds or not.
