Can do that: A flare is likely after you start; the stuff is irritating. Get with your physician if it is more than seems reasonable. There are a host of different kinds of acne rx's and it should be possible to clear you up.

Yes at first : It isn't unusual but after continued use you should notice an improvement in your skin complexion. Contact your dermatologist and make sure you follow up with him if your problems persist.
