    Absorica Helped me regain my confidence, i used to hate the way i looked because of my acne and thought it made me look ugly. Ive tried everything else (creams, lotions, antibiotics ) and none of it worked. Now i can say after being in remission of my acne for about 4 years that this is a miracle acne medication.

    Letâ??s start out by saying I am not the typical patient. I am a 47-year-old male in good shape. I have had acne my whole life and I have controlled it through a variety of ways (Lotions, antibiotics, etc.) Last year I developed Nodular acne mostly on the back of my head. The acne was painful and causing headaches and would sometimes bleed on my pillows. I started Absorica exactly 5 weeks ... Show Full Comment

    Hello everyone I just started Absorbca for my face today at 40mg. I'm very very nervous. I just took my first dose. I'm afraid of the mental health side effects. I'll deal with the dry skin and muscle pains and even severe breakouts.. I just don't want the mental health side effects. My doctor laughed and told me that's the least of my worries I should be nervous about that.

    Went from mild acne to the WORST case of acne ever. Months of being on this drug with million times worst (is there even such a thing - was in my son's case). Finally the doctor listened and switched him to clarvis and within a couple of weeks it cleared but not before absorica wrecked his self esteem and left him with scars that will need to be corrected through resurfacing. We are not dra ... Show Full Comment
