| Pros | Accutane is a very strong drug. I have had 3 courses and my acne has returned much less each time. It has definately helped clear up my skin and i have been without it over a year and its not too bad. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It really dries out your skin. I would avoid strong sun and sea water. Always carry vasaline for your lips and drink penty of water. Can be very irritating and can occationally caused me some tiredness and aching. Cant really drink so much alcohol. |
| Bottom line | I am really glad that i have finished with Accutane but it really did make alot of difference. My skin is 90% clear now and i definately recommend it to anyone with suffering from severe acne. My advice would be to do plenty of excercise, clean your skin regularly and always follow the intructions. I would definately recommend anyone with acne to STOP HAVING ALL dairy products. I have also stopped having fizzy drinks and I avoid fast food and sugar, except the occational chinese takeaway. I take zinc and multi vitamins too and it all has made a difference. My acne is definately genetic and is really effected by diet it will be different for everyone, but keep fighting it because eventually you will find something that works. Good luck |

| Pros | EXTREMELY SMOOTH CLEAR SKIN FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I WAS 8 YEARS OLD MY SELF CONFIDENCE HAS SHOT THROUGH THE ROOF. THANK YOU ACCUTANE FOR GIVING ME MY LIFE BACK!! :-D |
|---|---|
| Cons | DRY CHAPPED LIPS, INITIAL BREAKOUT IN THE 1ST MONTH WAS PRETTY SEVERE, I HAVE NO INSURANCE SO I HAD TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF $$$$$.. STILL A SMALL PRICE TO PAY IN ORDER TO GET MY LIFE BACK |
| Bottom line | I TRIED EVERYTHING TO TREAT MY SEVERE ACNE AND THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT WHEN IT COMES TO ACNE TREATMENTS THIS IS THE MECCA OF THEM ALL. |

| Pros | Vast improvement in my skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | dry nose, sore joints, dry lips, tiredness, expensive |
| Bottom line | It didn't work for me until month 3. I'd severe acne, and my skin has been reletively clear with a number of months now. I could go a month without a spot! My mood hasn't changed, but I find it quiet expensive at nearly €160 a month! Well worth it though. |

| Pros | Works so well to cure ALL ACNE |
|---|---|
| Cons | Costs 550$ if your insurance doesnt cover and the rules are REALLY strict while you are one it...you have to coordinate your life around getting the presicription filled and you have to go to the derm once a month. |
| Bottom line | This is an amazing medicine, I had to take is twice. The first time I took it I was on it for 5 months and my skin was incredible for 5 months, then it broke out so bad but not as bad as before so I went back on it for 5 months again and it cleared my skin even more but low and behold 5 months later I broke out again but only mildly very mild and tolerable and nothing big at all, topical ointments for life i guess... but dont be scared of this med, it is incredible and will make you feel amazing because it is so effective just remember to use sking cream about 2 months after you get oof it so your skin stays clear! |

| Pros | all acne (face and body) clears up during use |
|---|---|
| Cons | EXTREMELY dry, cracked lips and skin and swollen face change in mood extreme fatigue |
| Bottom line | I was first on a generic brand which worked fairly well. It seemed like a miracle because my skin was nearly completely clear. Then my dermatologist switched me to the actual thing, and my skin cleared completely. However, my personality changed and I was always tired. I look back at pictures from when I was on it, and my whole face was swollen. My lips would bleed because they were chapped so bad (throughout the treatment). After having been off it four months, my skin started breaking out again. After a year and a half, it looked exactly the way it did before I began treatment. For me (and my sister who also too it) it is a temporary fix that was not worth the horrible side effects. |

| Pros | None yet |
|---|---|
| Cons | Huge Nodules all over my face. |
| Bottom line | I started medication about 2weeks ago and i can hardly see any smooth space on my face now. I'm really tempted to stop but some ex acne victims i know have encouraged me not to cos it's all coming out to get better. I honestly can not wait to see how wonderful my face would be cos i'm a naturally pretty black girl, but my acne has really oppressed me. |

| Pros | 1st product that has ever worked for me in 15 years of having acne |
|---|---|
| Cons | hard to get a script, dry lips |
| Bottom line | So worth it... I wish I had not been so scared to use it in the past, otherwise I would not have rolling acne scars. For me, it worked instantly and I wasnt expecting it. Within 2 weeks I was down to 1 cyst. I have experienced dryness, but nothing in comparison to Retin A or Benzoyl Peroxide, etc. Paula's Choice Lip and Body Balm and Aquaphor are highly recommended. Any negative side affect is NOTHING in comparison to both the physical and emotional scars of acne. |
