"skeptical, difficult to believe that this would work with my severe conditions. sure enough after five months (20 weeks) my acne on my shoulders, back, and chest was 85% healed. once the treatment was finished, there was accelerated improvement. so within about 27 or so weeks after my first dose (2 pills per day) i was healed almost completely. however you will get chapped lips and dry skin. it was extremely frustrating, the side effects were. there was also bad muscle aches every time i took a running step. the healing that the medicine provided much outweighed the side effects. you must know, i could not take off my shirt, it was so bad. however, with the help of aquaphor, my new best friend, this will work, and you&#039;ll make it through."
