I tried Lipovox from a recommendation from a friend. She has cystic acne and has seen an improvement in her skin after taking Lipovox for several months. I started taking Lipovox in May 2008. I have adult acne with some cysts and redness. I am also on Nicomide and Duac gel. Right before my period starts, my face was still breaking out with these meds. I did notice an improvement with Lipovox. I was also trying to lose 10 lbs at that time. Lipovox did not curb my appetite. I ended up losing 15 by walking daily and lifting weights. I have not experienced any side effects with Lipovox. I will continue with it at this time for the acne. I do not recommend it for weight loss.
