I took my clear skin (with no effort) for granted. I woke up on my 25th birthday with a blimish and it has not stopped since (almost a year) I started yet *another* system last week (this one RX) It seems to be working better than anything so far. I have never gone a day in public without make-up. If I get this undercontrol I will never feel I have to hide behind my make-up always.
