For Acne "I have just completed my first month of Amnesteem (I had moderate acne), and I am extremely happy with the results this far. However, I experienced stomach ache, nausea, constipation, chest pain, headaches, lower back pain, sore throat, dry skin, extremely chapped lips, and fatigue. They all hit me at the beginning of week three. The good news is they all subsided by the end of the week except the constipation."

For Acne "Taken for drug-resistant adult acne after all the topicals and some oral meds. I’m in my third month starting 80 mg/day. First two were 40 mg/day. Only side effects are chapped lips and back/knee pain. My skin is clear, and I don’t need to wash my hair as frequently."

"My friend was on it a few months before me, and I saw her skin clear in about 3 weeks. I was looking forward to the same thing happening to my skin. Unfortunately, my acne got much worse! For a little more than 2 months, my skin showed no sign of improvement, and I wanted to give up. My mom told me to hang in there for one more month, and I'm glad I did. After about 2 and a half months, my skin just began clearing. And once I started noticing a difference, all pimples were gone in a week. Dry lips were hardly there, thanks to Aquaphor. Do not pick at your face. No matter how many people told me not to, I did it anyway and have scars. Also, Cetaphil lotion is a blessing. Back pain started around month 3, but it's a small price to pay."

For Acne "I am 15 and have been taking Amnesteem for about a week now because I have very bad acne on my cheeks, and I must say it is very effective. Since I started this, my skin dried up, and my acne redness is definitely going away; however, it was kind of crazy the first 3 days because my big red spots started getting white heads, but they dried up very quickly and then flaked off in a day or two. I am 15, and the only bad thing about this is the chapped lips, dry skin, lower back aches, and I have arthritis in my left knee, and it seems that it is making it hurt more, but other than that, this medicine is a miracle!"
