Relieved some flare ups but Ive been on accutane 2x and I cant stay on it forever not to mention the side effects I was experiencing like headaches blurred vision dry nose and bleeding as well as my hair falling out.

My face broke out very severly, so much so that 90% of my face was completely covered with cysts, blemishes, etc... i was told it would do this and all of it would come out at once and then I'd be clear forever... 10 yrs later and my skin is still really bad and I have scars from my experience with this product. I don't know, however, if my skin would be even worse today if I hadn't tried it.

THE LESIONS STARTED TO LESSEN SOME (1ST OF THE 6MONTH) INFLAMMATION AND REDNESS DECREASED. BOILS TILL CAME , BUT LESS FREQUENTLY AND LESS INTENSE. aFTER THE TREATMENT WAS OVER EVERYTHING RETURNED AND SEEMED MAYBE A LITTLE WORST THAN BEFORE TREATMENT

Yes it helped get rid of the acne but the side effects were horrible with dry burning eyes, flaking lips dry mouth etc.
