I was wondering if anyone has any experience of this, please.

I've been taking it for just over a week and have high hopes! It seems as though my skin's getting worse at the moment, which I believe is common. If you've taken it, how long was it until you saw real improvement, please?

Thank you. :)

Took it years ago. Twice actually. The first time I was 21, I got results after about 3 weeks and the difference was enormous. But I made the mistake of coming off it too early (maybe after 3 months?). And within 18 months or so my skin was just as bad. The second time was I was 24. The first month was horrendous. But once I got through that the results were great. This time I took it for at least 9 months.
About 15 years later I still get the odd spot, but nothing whatsoever like the really bad acne I had then.
I hope it works well for you. I remember well how hard those first few weeks are.

I took this about 10 years ago - brilliant! Got v dry lips but after a few weeks saw big difference.
