I'm not trying to market a product here,
let me make that perfectly clear...
I have had acne since I was 13. It was
never serious and I could easily cover it
with make up. I didn't think too much of
it until I was about it until I turned 20
and my acne got progressively worse. My
mild acne problem began to turn into
cystic bumps appearing on my cheeks and
forehead. Not only that, they left
horrible purple/brown fade marks when they
healed. I tried every otc topical
medication I could and nothing really
worked. It seemed hopeless!
I went to a dermatolist as a last resort
and he put me on minomycin and prescribed
a topical compound mixture of benzac,
kojic acid and clindamycin. I haven't had
a problem since! The only side effect of
minomycin is that my skin can become
overly dry now so I must apply a
moisturizing cream a few times daily.
