"i&#039;ve always had acne, ever since puberty started!! i broke out really badly at the start of this year probably because i went on a &quot;try everything&quot; rampage and destroyed my own skin:( but yea it was one of the lowest points for me in terms of my self-esteem and confidence. i really hated looking at myself and i was so depressed. anyway i was prescribed differin by my dermatologist.  alas, after many painful months of breaking out, my skin slowly but surely cleared up. i would say, the initial months were very tough but don&#039;t give up! be patient and you will see your skin transform! give if at least 3 months"
