"this is a very good option for acne! i am 18 and i have had acne since around 7th grade. i did not know what exactly was causing my acne.. hormones? the food i was eating? i was not sure but i feel this pill was effective. i am also on solodyn which i love!! and also i use cetaphil to cleanse then moisturize with the silver serum. my routine works very well for me i have not gotten a pimple in a while however i have gotten small bumps along the way. gaining weight was not a problem at all while taking this.. i even think i lost weight. so i would recommend this and solodyn; they definitely helped with my acne."
