Comment:
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.

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.
