A Twitter user named Elaine Duran shared some photos of herself undergoing a transformation. For six years, she suffered from moderate acne but after medication, she was able to recover and the redness of her face and acne were gone.
For six months, her dermatologist made her take isotretinoin with a brand name Acnetrex. She also used Bella S Whitening soap for washing her face then applied the Pro-bio cleanser. She clarified that the effectivity of the product still depends on the severity of acne that a person has. Also before taking the medicine, she stressed that you should make sure to consult a dermatologist to know the right medicine to take.

Dr. Mojica was happy for Elaine and said that he had a lot of patients on isotretinoin. He just wanted to emphasize that buying this type of medicine online and taking it without the supervision of a certified dermatologist could be dangerous because it has side effects that should be monitored by a doctor.
A netizen asked about the side effects and the doctor named several, adding that it is not a “regular vitamin.”
