"i was on solodyn for about 6 months - the amount of time an acne medication is supposed to take to give you clear skin. while on it, i still had frequent whiteheads on a daily basis. once off of it, i noticed more pimples popping up, but still - it didn&#039;t even get me anywhere close to having clear skin. i&#039;m still looking for better medications. i have been dealing with this for two years and no solution yet."
