My cousin told me about a product specifically for women that she used before getting married. She was a wreck prior to her big day. I think she bought the Acne care stuff at her beauty salon. It is called Puracol blemish program, I believe. She said that it took about 1 1/2 months to work but, the problem has not returned. There're a tablet taken with water without the skin drying side effects that I experienced with most cream products that I have used. I'm going to try this product at the next flare-up!
