Well... a little bit of background. I really do not have acne... just the occasional pimple. By real problem is the oil on my face. My oil production is extreme. I have tried every product known to man to control the excessive oil, but nothing has worked.

So, I decided to try Isotretinoin (Accutane) and just by chance (and Google) I ended up in this forum and in this thread.

I bought 30 capsules (20mg each) at a local pharmacy. I live in Mexico. It was kinda tricky to get the prescription (they do not sell Accutane without one). The box with 30 capsules is the equivalent of $60 dollars here.

Well this was my routine: I started taking 1 20mg capsule daily for 7 days (the first week). I didn't notice any reduction of oil during that week. But I did notice the secondary effects: dry lips, dry eyes. My lips were really bad.

After the first week. I decided to start taking 1 20mg capsule every 5 days. I still have dry lips, but they are under control now (thanks, Aquaphor!), but just this week I notice a significant reduction in oil. Finally!

After too many years of trying a lot of facial products, I finally found the solution. So far, so good.

Now I need to find a product to repair my damaged skin. Any recommendations?

I will keep posting updates.

Thanks.
