"my dermatologist started me on this medication for acne. i have been using it diligently for 2 months, having worked up to being able to use it daily. i also use a non greasy lotion for my face, as well as an acne  wash. the improvement in my skin has been dramatic! my pimples eventually all dried up, and i was able to just pinch them off my face at that point. i still have some acne scars, but my skin is smooth and the scars are easily covered with makeup. i did not have a purging stage whatsoever, as others have described. overall, highly recommend this medication."
