My Acne Vanished

WORTH IT
This review for Dr. Rahimi is long overdue.
I struggled with mild - moderate acne for 13 years. I can safely say I tried every OTC medication available at the time. Nothing ever worked so I held out hope that acne was something I would eventually outgrow. I was wrong. At 24 my acne reach its peak and was the worst it had ever been in my life. I thought I was destined to live with acne forever. My boyfriend begged me to see a dermatologist but I refused. My brother (whose face was a lot worse than mine) had a terrible experience with a money hungry derm so I was skeptical and mistrustful of them. Well, I bit the bullet and did my research and found Dr. Rahimi. I made an appt. He immediately made me feel at ease. He attentively listened to my concerns and thoroughly examined my skin before prescribing a combination of a topical cream and oral medication. It took about 5 months to see results and before I knew it my acne was GONE and my overall skin texture improved. I couldn't believe it. I did not experience any peeling nor side effects from the treatment.
Other than the occasional hormonal break-out, my acne never came back. In the end, my only regret was not seeking Dr. Rahimi's expertise sooner. Who new only one consultation and 5 months of treatment could have spared me years of misery. This Doctor cured my acne and for that I'll forever be grateful. Now, at 31, as I embark on the next phase of aging, I trust Dr. Rahimi to guide me with the same expertise and care he exhibited in treating my acne.

I too use Retin-A ! It does help with acne but it also helps to exfoliate all the dead epidermal skin so you can see the soft and smooth skin that's been hiding underneath. After going through the peeling, the skin looks amazing. Be sure to use a good sunblock to protect it!

Your post said oral and topical was prescribed by the Dr. SVfive asked what was oral medication that was prescribed.
What is the oral medication to which you allude in the above quote?
