I recently started using Plexion 9.8-4.8 Lotion for my acne and seborrheic dermatitis. So far, it's been a bit of a mixed bag. I've noticed some improvement in my skin, but I'm also experiencing some dryness and itching. I've read about the potential side effects, so I'm not too worried, but I'm curious about others' experiences. Has anyone else had success with this lotion? Any tips for minimizing the side effects would be super appreciated!

I noticed some light discoloration and peeling skin after using Plexion. Is this normal or should I be worried? Also, how long did it take for you to see significant improvements?

I've been using the lotion for a month and I'm seeing great results. I would recommend it to anyone struggling with acne or seborrheic dermatitis. Just be patient and consistent with your application. It might burn at first but it's totally worth it.

I've had some success with Plexion, but I've also had to be careful with my diet. If I eat too much dairy or greasy foods, it flare ups my acne worse than before I started the lotion!

I think this lotion is a scam. Not seeing any results and my skin feels awful. I'm going to stop using it and find something else.

I've had some dryness and itching, but I've found that using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer right after applying the lotion helps a lot. Also, make sure to patch test before using the lotion to avoid any potential allergic reactions.

Serious question: anyone had to mix or use this with other topicals? I'm on a super strict derm-prescribed routine right now and want to make sure it's safe with other stuff?
