but alhumdulilah, within a month it works total wonders, its a two month course, though. but you have to go to the doc and get it prescribed...but really i totally reccomend it.

Used it for two to three months; and when I stopped it came back.

Vitamin E Oil doesn't work on everyone. It didn't do anything for me. And I suggest testing it out somewhere on your face like under your ear lobe because a few FPH'ers were complaining that it gave them tiny red bumps. |
Yea vit E didnt work either..the effects were the opposite.
So far the best treatment for me is excercise, eating healthy and drinking lots of water..after I workout I use a mask which is nice because Im giving myself a mini facial. I dont really use any acne products..just a scrub (clinique exfoliating scrub) and a light moisturizer (also by clinique).
