For acne treatment?

I didn't have that bad skin really, it just bothered me alot.
Anyway I've been on it for three months nearly now, and its a bit touch and go, some weeks it's okay others it's not at all.

How long did it take your skin to clear up?
Do you think I should stick with it for another three month's and if nothing improves change back to a normal pill and go on antibiotics?

i havent tried that, but i've tried everything else (except accutaine, which i considered)

the only thing that worked for me is this stuff.

its super and i would marry it if i could.

I was on it for 3 years and it did nothing good for my skin and made me gain a lot of weight (and get stretch marks all over my ass!) and made me crazy and depressed and manic and all over the place.

now I'm on a ligt pill (Mircette) and on antibiotics (I was also on antibiotics while on Dianette but it was the antibiotics making my skin better, not the pill because when I quit the antibiotics the acne came back even though I was still on dianette).

now with the light pill +light antibiotics + pure aloe vera gel at night (it's a fucking miracle! It works better than all those acne creams! (differin, benzoyl peroxide... they all irritated my face and seemed to make my acne worse...) my skin is great!

I'm glad your skin's got better, I've read loads of your threads about your skin. So it's nice to hear that.

I do use tea tree oil, I may try and find this aloe vera gel though, where do you get it from?

if you're in the US you're lucky because there's this brand called "Fruit of the earth" that sells practically pure aloe vera reaaaally cheap (I got a huge bottle for 5 dollars I think. I bought it like a year ago and only now is it almost empty...). I forgot where I got it, it was either Walgreens or Ralphs I think.

I think you can also buy it online at walgreens.com or other drugstore/cosmetic website.
which I will probably be doing because I need a new bottle and unfortunately don't live in the US any more.

OR. You could buy an aloe vera plant and just cut of part of the leaf and then get the pure gel from it. I have never done this but might buy a plant when my bottle is really empty...

But the Fruit of the earth kind is really good and it just seems easier to have it in a bottle than to have to always cut the plant.... And I have 3 cats and I think aloe vera is poisonous for cats...

also. I sometimes steam my face with this "facial sauna" I have. really good to open your pores and get your skin nice and clean by applying a mask afterwards (I use either Queen Helene Mint Julep, The Body Shop Tea Tree oil mask or Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay)
