I am Kim Lee. I am now 17 years old. When I was at the age of 15 I started getting acne.
My face looked terrible and I always felt depressed and insecure about appearance. Then I came to see one of my best friends, who always gave me good advice and asked her for advice. She told me that I should wash my face several times a day and try different antiacne products, squeeze pimples often. But this way doesn't help a lot. The result of that was 60% of my face was covered with acne.
I found a website advertising an effective way to remove acne, and they advised me to see Dr Kangnam. Dr Kangnam gave me a detailed plan to remove acne on my face. First, he advised me to wash my face only twice a day because washing face too often may cause skin irritation. Second, I have to take prescription medicine. Third, I had to follow a healthy diet. Dr Kangnam also advised me not to stay up late. After six months acne clears up. And now I feel very happy and confident.
