I can see a big difference just since she started it as well as a cream. My son has had very little help with it, been on it for about 9 months. We are cautiously looking into Acutane. My SIL took it and it did wonders for her with no side effects, same thing for one of my close friends in high school.

Best thing for acne?
Never had acne as a kid, but now i certainly do. Help???

SEVERE acne while on it
Years later and I'm still left with scars on my face, chest, back, and arms from the horrible acne I had with Depo. I also gained around 50 pounds on it! I'm on Yaz now and it works wonderfully. I also started using Proactive a couple of months ago and it seems to be working just as well as the prescription stuff I was using and costs a lot less.

me too i will be 30 tomorrow and still have mild acne
I've been on Depo for over 4 years, thought that would eventually help but oh no...

acne, in Louisville KY or a little east?
Do you know of a dermatologist (or very good other physician) in the general area who can tackle longstanding acne with something other than continuous antibiotics or Accutane? ie, not the run-of-the-mill dermatologist but a GOOD doctor? It's really affecting my adult daughter's self-esteem. (hard for me to know as i'm out of state) thanks.

Are you peri/premenopausal? Friend just dvdlpd acne and has had to go back on the Pill
