Have written out from an acne. Sold by prescription, so you need to go to the doctor. Again to the doctor in any case it is better to turn, whether it is not enough why pimples have got out ... Analyzes to hand over not such complex or difficult business, and appointed or nominated treatment turns out more effective. It is checked up on itself. I acne much than I tried to treat, basically of course with all sorts of gel-ointments.At best, this is a temporary effect, at worst - allergies, redness, etc. Most of it - just no way, no effect at all. In minolexin, I was even pleased that this is an antibiotic - at least it is clear what and how it treats, there is hope that it will help. Also has helped. I took 1.5 months of the whole, there were no problems because of him. On the instantaneous effect is not to be counted, but within a week or two the result is noticeable.

A good drug in the treatment of acne. Minolexin once and for all relieves this scourge. But, of course, only according to the doctor's prescription, still an antibiotic and the course has a long 6 weeks, so that self-medication is not the best option.

Daria, I Stand a warning For the advertisement of the drug Minolexin under the guise of reviews of ordinary visitors. If such an advertising policy continues, the ban will be followed by all such similar reviews on the site, and the drug will be added to the blacklist with tougher moderation of reviews. Let's live amicably and do not hooligan any more.

Actually works well. If to compare with doxycycline, then the effect is better. If you compare it with external means of acne, then the result is more pronounced. But it is ideal to combine the reception of minolexin and external treatment (already without an antibiotic), then the skin will say "thank you".
