"i have had moderately bad acne since i was 8 years old, and it was pretty difficult throughout lower and middle school. i refused to go out in public without my shoulders and back covered, even in the summer time. i was really scared of all the horror stories about this medicine, but i had no serious side effects. i had dry lips, throat, and skin all over my body, but that was about it. i could still wear contacts, and only needed to moisturize twice a day with cetaphil. this is truly a miracle drug. i did it for seven months, but in just the first two months my skin was almost completely clear. i just finished my last dose three days ago and love my skin. i can now start my freshman year in high school with confidence!"
