With the prescription acne meds, you go through a period where your acne is worse than it's ever been. I imagine it's like that with the oil method, too.

Whenever I was on prescription acne meds, I immediately starting clearing up.  I never went through periods where it became worse before it got better, unless I just stopped taking them for forgot to.  The only time that didn't happen was when I was allergic to the generic form so they put me on the name brand and I cleared right back up.
