About this episode

Lots of us have acne growing up, or even as adults. And for lots of us, the right anti-blemish products will clear it right up!

But when that doesn't work... and changes to your diet don't work... and antibiotics from your doctor don't work.... that's when dermatologists can sometimes prescribe medication to treat your acne.

So what's it like taking the most controversial acne drug? Kelly finds out!
