at the end of 2 months, still breaking out....lips burn without aquaphor...ankle pain.......
Pros:
it does the job like magic but it won't make you "glow" like beyonce or firgy. it will get rid of your acne and you will transform yourself.

very dry skin, very dry palms, very dry lips, you will have to carry a container of moisturizer everywhere u go. yes it its an expensive treatment but it has a right to come with that price tag attached.

side effects, worrying you might get side effects
