"i&rsquo;m a 23 year old female who has had acne issues since about 12 years old.  topicals kept me okay through my teen years until i got put on an antibiotic called solodyn when i began getting adult acne at 22.  it worked great but is not a permanent fix unless you want to take that pill every day for the rest of your life, so i tried absorica.  5 months was all it took to clear up my severe nodular acne and dry out the blackheads i&#039;ve had for 10 years.  i experienced no serious side effects, just dry skin/lips and nosebleeds.  with aquaphor and vaseline on hand, it was easily manageable and just a minor annoyance.  completely worth the results.  i highly recommend absorica, so long as you&#039;ve done your research and monitor your health on it."
