"i have suffered from cystic acne on my face and back since i was 16 (i&#039;m now 27). i was on birthcontrol diane for 10 years that helped with the embarassing acne but i wanted to go off of synthetic hormones. my acne came back with a vengance one the birth control was out of my system (about 5 months later) and i was at a loss- 



my derm recmmended a regimen of applying ziana gel at night and acanya in the mornings and also wanted to put me on antibiotics- i never took the solodyn because i only like to take antibiotics in extreme cases to my kind to my gut. 



it took 3-4 months for the acne to clear up and the dark spots to disappear but it is 100% gone! not a single breakout. be patient its worht it!"
