I have struggled with acne since I was an early teenager. I went on Accutane at 16, and while I didn't even complete my entire cycle, it was amazing. My skin stayed clear for almost ten years. At 25 I had my first child, and along with my pregnancy came acne. It went up and down for another ten years. This time, however, I wasn't willing to go through the side effects of Accutane (horrible dry skin, cracked lips, insane mood swings, and dry eyes, which means no contacts, stomachaches, blood draws, etc., it was not a fun experience for me!) again as an adult/mom.

Just as the cystic acne started creeping back into my life, I came across Cureology during one of my million late night internet searches for SOMETHING new to try (I've tried everything. Literally). I started it in mid to late June, and by August my skin was noticeably better. No cysts. No massive cluster breakouts.

I still had these weird little bumps, so I messaged my Curology NP, and she said to stick with the same formulation since I was seeing improvement. By September the bumps were gone. I've been on it almost a year, and my skin looks great. I still get a pimple here and there on occasion, but no cysts, and it's the most consistent it has been since my pre-baby/post-Accutane days.

I noticed it was a little drying in the winter, so I did go to every other night. In the beginning, I tried to amp up the effectiveness by using it two times a day, instead of the recommended one time per day, and I think that had I not done that my skin would have cleared up faster. I HIGHLY recommend this.
