Acne Slush (Co2, Sulphur & Acetone)

I think the acne slush was a super good idea. Noticeable improvement right away for me. I would def ask your derm about it.

You know, I don't know. They said insurance covers it, but I'm sure not the whole amount. I probably should have asked! I hope it's cheap because they said I could get them every 2-3 weeks, drop in be...

I've been on it too for about a week and a half. I have topical Erythromycin too. I think it's helping, but still some new big ones sprouting up. I'm hoping this ends soon!
