Comment:
I have been on this med for 2 months, can't be even more happier. I had tried many topical medications, nothing helped. After first week of using this med I saw big difference. My skin got much better, no more acne. But I had to stop this med for 2 week and all acne came back. Not sure what is gonna happen once I stop this medication again :(
