Ive been dealing with adult acne for years, did those expensive procedures, tretinoin, you name it. I decided to change my dermatologist and I found this place, Jessica is just simply amazing, she put me on this creams, didnt work then switched it again with something else and they just magically worked. There some purging at first that is so depressing but after that she advised me what to do next and now my face has not had breakouts. I asked if procedure is necessary for the marks, she said to continue the cream, which i kinda like as she said it will just work same like the cream and i wont have to spend a lot. So im highly recommending this place and Jessica!
