So as soon as my skin got clear of active acne, the pores on my cheeks started becoming clogged again with closed comedones which started turning a few into cysts. I was at the vitamin shoppe and saw they have pills just for acne (which you usually think are just scams), so spur of the moment I thought why not. First off I will say they are expensive, $25 for 60 pills and you have to take 2-4 pills a day till your acne clears then 2 for maintenance. There is a money back guarantee though so if it doesn't work for you I guess no loss. I'm not here because I'm getting paid by a company either, I'm just always looking for a supplement to help with acne since I already eat extremely healthy. So the first couple days I took 2 pills in the morning and 2 at night. All the clogged pores are gone now after a week and the cysts are almost gone, so weird, because I've never had anything get rid of them so fast, not even antibiotics. I'm going to keep taking them for a couple months though to make sure it's not just a fluke.

Here's the ingredients list, which is kind of vague,

Natrum Muriaticum 6C, 12C, 30C; Kali Bromatum 6X, 12X, 30C; Thuja Occidentalis 30C; Arsenicum Bromatum 4C, 9C, 12C; Tuberculinum Residuum 6C; Calcarea Picrata 6X, 12X, 30X; Sulphur Iodatum 6X, 12X; Aloe Vera 10X; Calcarea Sulphurica, Kali Sulphuricum 6X; Viola Tricolor 1X. In a base of: L-Cystine, L-Glutamic Acid, L-Cysteine, PABA, Radix Angelicae Sinesis, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Herbalamnae, Pyridoxine HCL, Magnesium Oxide, Methionine bound Zinc, Retinol, Beta Carotene, Ergocalciferol, Gelatin, Rice Flour, and Dextrose.

PABA is an antioxidant naturally sourced in wheat germ, yogurt, spinach, molasses... it's beneficial when ingested and not the same as a topical. Like I said it helps the body process folate, that's it's main function. It's common in ayurvedic medicine.

I stopped taking my other vitamins when I started taking this since I don't want to overdose on them and it already contains zinc and some other standard vitamins.

I figured this which is why I stopped my other vitamin regimen. Seems to be working, I still got one bad pimple when I started my period but nothing major yet.
