I was given this treatment in my late teens after seeing a dermatologist and it my skin....amazing. I just had the very dry/cracked lips and skin.

I am now almost 30 and I am struggling with bad acne again. I have tried a lot of things but to no avail. However, I am no longer under the care of a dermatologist. Do you know if your GP can prescribe it or would I have to go down the path of the dermatologist again?

I think that regular doctors can prescribe is as well however it is usually recommended to have a dermatologist do it since they are experts and can probably guide you through the process better.
