I was told that accutane stops your body from producing oil ever again, so you will never produce natural oil. Is this true?

Maybe for some people, but most of the people on here seem to get their oil back (at least from what I've seen).

It decreases the amount of sebum your body produces while on the drug. This occurs mostly on your face, back, and chest, the places where acne usually occurs. Once off the drug, the sebum levels are supposed to return to normal.

my doctor said it makes some of her patients look much older than they are, i guess because of the lack of oil.
