at least 10 years of clear skin.

All is going well. I can feel the dead skin star to flake, like especially on my nose. The dermatologist said i will get a heap of blackheads then they will reveal all the nice skin underneath. I can't wait to be 100% clear.

It did the job. When you put aside all the side effects, it really did clear out my acne all over my body. I had very oily skin, and it was nice having soft, smooth skin for a change. With military insurance, it's basically free.
