I've been struggling with acne and rosacea for a while now. I tried several remedies, but nothing seems to work effectively. I'm considering trying Plexion 9.8-4.8% Lotion. The lotion contains sulfur and sulfacetamide, which sound promising. However, I'm a bit hesitant due to the potential side effects. Has anyone else tried this? If so, how did it work for you? Were the side effects manageable? I'm really hoping this lotion will help clear up my skin, but I want to be prepared for any issues that might arise. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I’m curious, what kind of moisturizer do you recommend to use with this lotion? I’m worried my skin might get too dry.

Sulfacetamide is an antibiotic, so it might help with bacterial acne. But watch out for those severe side effects — they’re rare but serious. Good luck and keep us updated!

I had a bad reaction to sulfur in the past, so I'm staying away from this one. But good luck!

Be prepared for some dryness. I used a good moisturizer and it helped a lot.

I've been using Plexion for about a month now. At first my face was super dry, but it started to get better, and I noticed a reduction in breakouts. I didn't experience any severe side effects, but I'm keeping an eye out. This lotion seems to be working for me, but everyone's skin is different so you might have a different experience. Hope it works for you!
