Finally!! My skin looks great!
I've had terrible acne on my chin for most of my adult life, and the only things that helped were birth control pills and anti-biotics. After switching to a non-pill contraceptive, my skin began breaking out BAD and dermatologists would only put me on antibiotics (which stopped working as soon as they tried to wean me off). So, fed up with taking antibiotics and paying 30 dollar co-pays, I decided to take matters into my own hands and research otc supplements.
I've tried TONS of supplements and some things have helped, but nothing has made as much of a difference as this. I first tried this because it was an ingredient in the yogi skin detox tea that had given me good results a while ago, but it's a pain in the butt to make so much tea every day.
I started taking this a week ago, 2 caps 3 times a day (sometimes 2 if I was busy) and my skin has made a 180 degree turn around. I have ZERO active breakouts on my face, and my back and chest are starting to clear up as well!
I am using this with other supplements (and I use a salicylic acid peel 1-2 times a week), but nothing has made such a huge difference, so hopefully I can stop taking the others.
I think my acne is mostly inflammatory, as I had great temporary success when I was on doxycycline, so if you have ever taken doxy and are looking for an alternative, I would highly recommend this! I just wish I had tried this earlier, I've had such a crappy and painful skin year, and it feels great to finally see my face healing and looking clear.
