This worked for about 4 months and then lost all effectiveness. It is also a pain to try & work out when to take it...at regular intervals, but not with food... or milk... or indigestion remedies. Sorry, but i have a life.

The side effects are not worth the good looks; extreme sun sensitivity, yeast infections, stomach problems. But I had zero acne for months.

Worked very well, almost clear after 3 months use, having mild to moderate acne. Free, as obtained on the NHS. The only qualm I had was the inconvenience of taking the pills at the right times between food.

DO NOT go out in sun for long periods of time while taking this medicine--causes MAJOR SUNBURN!

Mild improvement - I would recommend going on the Regimen at the same time as taking these tablets (my doctor also suggested Benzoyl Peroxide use...)
