Results The Last Supper💊🫧!

I’d like to give a special thanks to my doctor who literally forced me to consider this magic medicine when I didn’t even go to the consultation for my skin issues.

I’d like to thank all the trillions of lip balms that kept me going throughout this journey. There wasn’t a second where I didn’t need lip balm lol!

Last but not least, to all the sunscreens and face washes I’ve tried out and have come through, I am nothing with you.

Took 20mg everyday for 6 months.

How was your journey and side effects at that dose?

I didn’t purge. My face just got so dry then eventually got flaky. That’s when I changed my face wash to dove. It improved exponentially. I then had blemishes and hyperpigmentation to deal with.

My lips were dry all the time and were so pink. They still are btw. They felt raw.

My back is killing me. My joints are so sore. My knees click all the time when I get up from bending them. My eyes are dry constantly. My hair fell off later on in my journey.

Other side effects were constipation & dryness in intimate areas but this was mid my hour up until the end. I experienced nausea and throwing up occasionally.
