[well i went to a dermatologist for my acne, which i suffered from acne all my life since jr. high now i am a adult....but anyways i tried everything in the book and nothing worked for me but broke me out worse. so i went to a doctor for skin and was prescribed medication tazorac, and some antibiotics and within 3 weeks i actually saw significant changes and i am impress...today now i use it time to time whenever my face tries to get a pimple, once i do it gone within 24hrs or less!! so i am happy!! the only thing i can suggest to you due to not every thing works for everyone, so go to a skin doctor due to you gots be evaluated to see what meds are good for you!! you will be fine!
