I started using this drug 3 weeks ago after my dermatologist prescribed it, i have seen significant improvement in my acne condition(and self esteem!!). I use it once a day at bed time, i wsh my face in the morning and afternoon and apply only Bioderma 60+sunscreen. It is a bit expensive , but well worth every dime.
