For Acne "I used this to help with my acne that would not go away. This helped pretty well in clearing it up, but my doctor prescribed Accutane anyways. After treatment, my doctor had me on this medication again as a “preventative measure”. The first time I got back on it, I forgot that my skin was not used to it anymore, so it got painful, dry, and flaky for a week. When you use this, really use a small amount in the beginning and mix it in your hand with a moisturizer, or you will not have a good experience. Anyways, I avoided using it for a couple of days to help my skin recuperate, and my acne began showing up here and there. Right now, I use a very small amount of Arazlo every night, and it keeps my skin clear. Really just be careful with how much you apply and be aware that you might have to push through purging (personally, I didn’t)."

For Acne "After a few days of using Arazlo, it made my skin start to peel in random spots and made my face very red and painful."

For Acne "This was awful. My skin would peel so badly and got to the point where my skin started getting red and itchy. It started to scab and got really painful. Tried to stick it out, but I can’t anymore. Too painful. It helped with the bumps I have on my forehead, but didn’t really help with the rest of my acne. Not worth it."
