Comment:
I have had extremely good results with this medication so far - after only a week my skin has improved drastically. I did notice mild nausea at first immediately after taking it, but that seemed to subside after a few days and so far I've no other side effects whatsoever. Medications affect everyone differently but so far this one has worked wonders for my skin!
