I laughed hard at some of those.

I had it and suffered no undue side affects, just dried out my lips - though that can be dealt with lip balm or creams.
Got rid of my acne, though it does seem to be coming back slightly two years later, nothing like the acne before, just the odd pimple.
I would say go for it.

I took it when I was younger. Only side effects I had were dry lips and more frequent nose bleeding. It also got rid of my acne.
