The only side effect was an eating disorder.

How is it an eating disorder? I grew up eating like that, my parents and grandparents ate like that. I am not american. Maybe in America it is diagnosed as a disorder, but I can ensure you it is a normal life stile for the rest of the world.

I recommend Differin (Adapalene) every evening and Clinamycin gel in the AM. Helped me tremendously and cheap.

I never saw a derm, but switched to cetaphil for face wash (for oily even though I'm dry) and lotion based on some recommendations and my acne disappeared. If I use anything else, I break out again. Doesn't hurt to try while you wait for the appt.

Tretinoin creams work wonder. Not retinol, actual tretinoin.
