"i developed severe acne in august of 2016. i had many different types and i had it everywhere. i saw a doctor in october who prescribed me minocycline (antibiotic) and gave me a referral for a dermatologist that i saw in november. i was prescribed tretinoin (retin-a) that i use at bedtime every night. for a while, i saw no results. my acne had even gotten worse. my skin was also very flakey so it looked terrible when i tried to cover with make up. finally, about 3 months in, i am seeing big results. everything has healed and is starting to fade. and i still have another month before i see my dermatologist again, which is supposed to be the &quot;peak&quot; of my treatment. don&#039;t get discouraged.. this stuff takes time, but it works"
