Good treatment for Acne!

Hi i developed acne due to my hormonal imbalance and I was referred to a dermatologist who prescribed me Dermol 500 facial wash and facial cream. The tall one is the cream. I use twice a day and put no other products on my face and it is amazing!! When a spot starts to brew I leave some of the dermol on it and it doesn’t mature! Great for blemishes, and red sore spots! I have tried many products over the years and this is by far the best! GP’s can prescribe it and you can buy online if you google it!

I was also prescribed some antibiotics but haven’t had to use them as the dermol has been fantastic!!

Hoping that it will continue to work now I have started taking DHEA tablets which are known to often make acne worse. Have been on the DHEA tablets for 5 days and no further acne so far!

The antibiotics are called - Eruthromycin!

All the best!

Good to hear that this works for you. I had bad acne for over 30 years and was prescribed antibiotics, which did nothing, and then Roacutaine which did work but was short-lived. I found that once I had been diagnosed as hypothyroid and was given NDT my acne cleared up.

What is NDT? I’m glad your acne cleared up!

NDT is Natural Desiccated Thyroid - dried pigs’ thyroid. It is similar to our own and often prescribed by private doctors.
