I am on an antibiotic along with this...im taking orthotrycycling. My ance wasn't very bad before i started taking taz, but i can definetly tell that it is working because of the breakouts. I think that i can handle the break outs......it's really hard, but im starting at a university next week.....as a freshman...and i would love my face to be totally clear! so, im going to stick it out. Im using a neutragena mosturizer right now, with SF 15, but i'll look into the Alpha hydroxy! Thankyou so much for your input! it's been of help. I pray for everyone with this obsticle in life, and we will all get through it!
