"the first week my skin got very dry and patchy. it peeled a good bit. the second week my skin broke out worse than it ever has, and i started getting really discouraged that it wasn&#039;t working and i felt like it had made my skin worse. i am now about to finish up my third week, and my skin is really clearing up well. i would say be patient with this product and give it one full month, and you will begin to see results. the method i use is washing my face, patting it dry, putting on a moisturizer, waiting about 10-15 minutes, then applying the veltin only on the acne spots. this has seemed to work best for me."
