"i had many obnoxious but small bumps on my forehead this past summer. along with that, the occasional large zit. i got put on veltin by my dermatologist, and began using it on august 3rd. at first i used it every other night on my whole face except my cheeks, and experienced a bit of dryness around my mouth, and overall redness. that subsided fairly quickly and i began to use it once a day at night, at least a half hour after showering and moisturizing to minimize stinging. today is september 24, and my skin has been perfectly clear for two weeks! i have adjusted to the dryness, and my skin is very happy!"
