Ohhh I see, so fermented soy is the key! I have cut out soy and soy drinks from my diet for a few weeks now but I dont think it made much difference so its most likely hormonal acne I have wrecking havoc on my face. I am currently using Carlsons 1000mg and have almost finished one bottle (100 softgels because I was too much of a wimp to try the liquid ones). I'd say it made my skin a little bit glowier but my acne still seems to be here. For some reason though, most of my cheeks somewhat clear, but there was a slight increase in under-the-skin cystic acne around my chin area. Just wondering, how long did you use this to clear up your (cystic?) acne? I'd say I've used it for almost a month now. Thanks! Still need to see about trying that butter :)
