I am at 25 drops as of today. I would say yes it is helping, the flaking after getting out of the shower has decreased quite a bit and the pores around my nose i feel are at an all time low. I take it 3 times a day, I was recommended by the guy who told me about this that 4 times a day is even better. Tough to do that tho. The only thing is I started this at the beginning of summer, and as we both know that it gets better during that time, at least for me in Michigan. If u read in my previous post that I stopped my multi-vitamin when i began this, and my face got much worse without it(flaking,acne). But as of now it is just as good as when i was on the multi-vitamin or better, so I am going to stay at 25 drops for as long as it takes or until I believe there is no more improvement. I do believe you are going to have to take an extra dose or two to get the improvement you are looking for, but what do I really know, we are both experimenting, the guy who told me about this had liver cancer not dermatitis. Best of luck to you tho my man.
