"i would definitely recommend this medication and say that is does work to treat and clear up your acne. i experienced nearly no side effects which was good as well. for maximum results i would recommended pairing it with a topical cream ( retin a, tactuopump, etc) because i found they work well together in clearing up my face! while some people have said that their skin may get worse before it gets better, within a few days of starting this medication my skin literally was all cleared up , and didn&#039;t get worse - only better. my skin stayed relatively clear throughout the month , except for a few days around my period where i would usually break out again. then it would stay completely clear again throughout the month."
