Metrogel topical is used for skin condtions such as Rosacea. Its great against bacteria, but since acne is a cause of several components, killing bacteria alone is not sufficient to get rid of acne. It is available  as an acne treatment for metrogel reviews  but they are different consistancies, and i would not recommend substituting one for the other. My face became extremely dry and it looked it was always sun burnt and peeling. I decided to stick it out and I was rewarded. After 6 weeks of using the 3 medications religiously my break outs are very mild and it's just one pimple here or there, no explosive break outs and the pimples don't spread. I have mild dryness still, but the symptoms I mentioned above stopped after 2 weeks as my skin got used to it.It's definitly worth a try and much less harsh than the Acutane system, especially for females. My doctor was impressed with my results so far and wants to continue this regiment instead of starting the acutance, which is what she was planning. So this tells me that these results may not be everyone's.I am a serious cyclist and also in the army so the constant sweating and rubbing on helmets and glasses caused severe acne and I was one of the lucky girls in high school who didn't have acne. I have tried many of those over the counter 3-5 step systems with no improvement.
