It really did. I knew the antibiotics they gave me in the beginning weren't going to work, but I'm very happy with Accutane. To be honest I should have taken Accutane months before but you never really know how bad your skin looks unless you see it on someone else in person.
My son also cleared up a few weeks ago!!!! 🙂 Took over 4 months...used a combo of the Acne.Org Regimen, minocycline (100 mgs), and tretinoin cream (.05%). No longer on antibiotics but still doing the Regimen and using tretinoin. Here's his latest progress log:

Will get some photos uploaded soon!
Congrats on finishing your course man, great to hear you are clear!
I took the first two photos this morning and the other two yesterday 
as you can see, big difference in my skin and you can also see the mark I got in March from a pimple (the one under my mole). I do have some scars on my temple areas and a few on my cheeks but other than that my skin has been behaving really well.

Thank you! 
My acne returned a month after stopping the pills. I went on another course in 2017 but once again, the acne came back a month later. My body acne was cured after the first round of tane but it started coming back around April of this year.
I tried changing my diet, paying big money on food intolerance tests and trying different vitamins but none of those helped. I cut dairy, sugar, caffeine, gluten, meat, eggs and soy but saw no difference. I then moved on from that and tried vitamin D, Vitamin A, zinc, cod liver oil and fish oil but none of those worked well for my skin. I saw other benefits from the Vitamin D, zinc and fish oil but nothing related to my skin.
I got a referral from my doctor to see the derm again in late September because I'm just fed up with this stuff. I have cancelled dates, said no to invitations and just kept myself at home trying to figure this stuff out, not fun for a 21 year old or anyone really but I am counting down the days to my appointment on the 16th of November, I know I'll get prescribed Accutane again but I'm more worried about the acne coming back so I'll ask the doctor if I could do a full course of the drug and then start a low dose Accutane treatment until my acne naturally disappears.
