I felt that my sebum glands were too severe on my face, so I took Agnes and oral medication. The medication is an anti-inflammatory, and Agnes was supposed to be used three times, but I ended up doing it twice because it was too painful. The redness remained for a week at first. I think the effects appeared within a month. It definitely reduced the amount of acne I get during my period. However, as a student, my sebum production continues to increase, so I don’t think Agnes is right for me.
